Introduction:

An essential skill for any user of the mental branch of the Force and for those who wish to defend against such abilities, a Mental Barrier is, in essence, the ability to mould a protective layer of Force energy around the mind, so that it protects and blunts mental attacks and intrusions like Force Sense or Telepathy.

Theory and Practice:

Remarkably similar in theory to the far more common ability of Force Barrier, a Mental Barrier is a split of the ‘Barrier’ tree; it is commonly taught by forming a regular Force Barrier, and then shrinking it down to surround only the mind. A relatively simple process, it nevertheless should be handled with care: a Mental Barrier is more difficult to create since it does not have a representation in the physical realm as Force Barrier does.

On the contrary, a Mental Barrier almost fully exists only within the Force and the mind’s eye; unlike many other forms of Force Barrier, the mental variant is not indicated by a specific colour reflecting on the body.

To conjure a Mental Barrier when one is a beginner to the art of mental defences is to conjure a regular Force Barrier. This is to make it easier to channel a Mental Barrier proper. The next step is to ‘shrink’ the Barrier; to make it surround the mind (represented by the physical brain). This is to shift the Force Barrier fully into a Mental Barrier, providing the proper mental defences. This is done by focusing completely on the image of the Mental Barrier in one’s mind’s eye - this will become easier with time. Next, patch up any holes that have been created by shifting the Mental Barrier; visualise it completely intact, and force such change into existence by sheer force of will.
