The Force

The Force was a universal energy field.

Description
For a Jedi, the Force sang in the ears and nestled in the heart.

Powers and abilities
In order to use the Force, a Jedi expanded their senses, pushing outwards from themselves. The mastery of certain techniques required years of study by gifted and focused individuals.

Force-users could sense other beings in the Force like pulses of light. They could also identify damaged tissue as dark tangles. Healing abilities allowed gifted, trained users to find the shatterpoints of an injury and to enliven damaged nerve endings with Force energy.

History
Following the rise of the Galactic Empire, Jedi like Kanan Jarrus stayed hidden to protect themselves from Imperial agents, and refused to actively use the Force despite still feeling it. After Hera Syndulla was injured on a mission to Nuri, Kanan called upon the Force to heal her. They made love afterwards, and Kanan briefly considered turning away from the Force in order to completely eschew Jedi celibacy.
