Star Wars: Rogue One: Demonstrating mantra meditation at its best

If you’re interested in mindfulness and meditation, this scene from “Star Wars: Rogue One” demonstrates mantra meditation at its best: Belief, total commitment and single-mindedness, and practice in action.

A few related quotes:

“You must concentrate upon and consecrate yourself wholly to each day, as though a fire were raging in your hair.”
~ Zen Master Taisen Deshimaru

“When you do something, burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.”
~ Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki

Until a few years ago I didn’t know that some (many?) people feel stress almost all the time, and I had friends in Colorado who use this mantra technique as a way to calm down when they feel stress.
