    To practice this skill sit and observe any animal....Study it's habits and the way it interacts with other animals and people. While doing this seek to due this through the Force as well as your other senses....Seek to feel the animals emotions.

    Combat Sense
    Basic Skills:    Danger Sense , Life Detection
    This Sense is as the name notes Combat related....What it basically is....Is the effect of The Force focusing your senses on the combat at hand. Everything else becomes muted and dulled as the senses are all turned toward the combat occuring around him.her All enemies become highlighted in the Mind's eye. This Focus enhance the ability to attack and defend.

    Danger Sense
    Basic Skills:    Life Detection
    This is the ability to sense the motives of others who may do you harm through the Force. As the Force flows through all things. It flows through even those who would harm you...By being open to that flow and knowing how to understand it. A Jedi can feel an attack coming before it happens...Thus increasing their chance to avoid it.

    Direction Sense
    This is the ability to sense the direction of an object or location by it's resonance in the Force. It can be an object of importance, the North Pole the nearest taxi,etc...But this doesn't work to find Iiving beings just objects...At first this skill just gives general directions to the object or location as in:left,right,forward,or backward from where you are....But with practice it can grant more information...Such as the exact location and distance from the object...your current position is

    Life Detection
    This is as the name denotes...The ability to detect life around you.
    A good practice to learn this skill. Is to sit in the middle of an open field. With your eyes firmly closed. Reach out with the Force and seek to sense when Life approaches you...During this have a friend approach you. When they want to (Not at a set time) From any direction they want to....When you feel them...Point at the direction you feel them from. If you are correct they should say so...Then begin again...If you are wrong...They should continue approaching until you are correct or until they can touch you. At which time you either switch places or begin again.

    Life Sense
    Basic Skills:    Life Detection
    This is similar to the above skill but it is more focused...Instead of being used to detect any life near by...It is used to focus in on a particular person or creature as well as sense if they are injured or hurt and their emotions.

    Magnify Senses
    This is the ability to enhance ones normal senses to perceive things that otherwise would not be possible without artificial aids. The Jedi can hear noises beyond his normal hearing due to distance or softness (This applies to normal frequencies only. This doesn't let you here frequencies you wouldn't normally be able to hear) Likewise for vision and smell as well as touch.....
    A good example of this skill as well as an excellent training method...Are the Blind...They develop their other senses to degree's that most people can't imagine...

    Postcognition
    Basic Skills:    ,Life Detection,Sense Force
    This skill allows a person to investigate the tenuous imprints of the Force left on objects when they are handled by living beings. The Jedi must be able to handle the object they are investigating.
    Depending on the skill of the user...This can give anything from a vague sense of who handled the object at a certain time and what events transpired around it.....Up to witnessing the events as if they Jedi was actually there.

    Receptive Telepathy
    Basic Skills:     Life Sense
    This is the ability to read the surface thoughts of another being. This doesn't mean you can probe for deeper things or hidden memories....This is just the things currently that the person is thinking about at that moment.

    Sense Force
    This is the ability to Sense the Force in Objects and places.
    A Good example of this is when you walk into a church or Temple or holy place of any Religion...With all the energy that has been focused in those places for so long..They become natural focus centers for the Energy of the Force.

    Sense Force Disturbance
    This is the ability to sense a disturbance in the Force. This doesn't give specific details, but a vague feeling of what happened.
    Once learned this ability becomes a natural one...It is always there and the Jedi has little to no control over when it happens...Any disturbance if close enough or powerful enough will effect the Jedi.

    Sense Force Potential
    Basic Skills:    Life Detection , Life Sense , Receptive Telepathy , Sense Force
    The deep subconscious of a Force-Sensetive person is shielded by a protective barrier which prevents another from penetrating his/her inner mind. This shield pushes back at an intruder, sending them stumbling backwards at times. This "shield" is an involuntary defense maintained by every Force-Sensitive person. The magnitude of the backlash depends on the person's strength and knowledge in the Force.

    Sense Path
    Basic Skills:    Emptiness , Hibernation Trance
    This Skill will allow a Jedi to sense where his /Her actions may lead to. Bear in mind this is an overall sense of the path being followed. This isn't a minute by minute, Play by play...But with proper usage the Jedi can sense if his course is leading them towards the Dark Side or not...Then act accordingly to prevent such a thing. Or to hasten it depending on the person. And their goals.

    Shift Sense
    Basic Skills:    Magnify Senses
    This is the ability to shift the senses into a different type then normal. For example the ability to see the infrared spectrum (Aura perception is considered by some an example of this)

    Translation
    Basic Skills:    Receptive Telepathy , Projective Telepathy
    This is the skill to understand a language not normally known by the Jedi. As well as to Read it and Speak it perhaps. (By many Religions. This is called the Gift of Tounges)

    Truth Sense
    This allows a Person to sense whether a person believes what they are saying is the truth. It doesn't give the ability to sense whether what they are saying is true in the overall reality; just whether the person "Believes" it or not.

    Weather Sense
    Basic Skills:    Magnify Senses
    Use of this Skill is done by attuning oneself to local weather patterns. By sensing the movement of clouds,winds,tides,and solar bodies, The Jedi can discern patterns in the weather, and make some limited predictions. It may take weeks or even longer for a Jedi to attune themselves though. So don't expect quick results. ( Every considered why all those people say things like "A storm is coming my right knee is hurting." Or "It's gonna rain soon. My Elbow is aching." These are examples of this sort of skill)
