Practice, Yu. That's all it takes.

[He reaches out and grabs a boulder of his own, moving it neatly over to the others, bringing it to rest slowly next to the pile.]

Nice and easy. Once you get it moving, it's a lot easier.

[Yu didn't take his eyes off of what his master was doing, trying to take in the sense of it. He let out a breath again, shuddering as he reached out for that same kind of calm that Luke always seemed to have.]

[He reached out, like he had a giant pair of hands to grab the boulders. Instead of pushing or pulling, however, he just... carried it to the wall, like he hadn't even been struggling before. He could hear the rock settle with a soft click, but it seemed so distant in his ears.]

[Instead, it felt more like his mind had expanded far beyond himself, like he could just take on anything just by carrying that one boulder. He let himself drown in that feeling, a soft breath coming from him as he reached out to everything he could touch and just feeling it like he was touching it for the first time.]

[And that's when Luke finally claps. Not loudly, and not long, but he's grinning ear to ear now, seeing his student's success.]

That's perfect. Really. Just like that, a pair of hands guiding the boulder. Feel the Force around you, and use that as an extension of yourself.

[Luke's enthusiasm helps bring him out of it, and Yu near stumbled when he opened his eyes again, very painfully aware of how small he was in comparison to just what was immediately around him after all that.]

...that was intense.

[It was the only way he could think of to describe what he just felt.]

[thefinaljedi]

The Force is an intense thing to feel. It's the energy that flows between all living things, how could it not be?

[Luke nods, expression still soft but more serious now.]

It's also important to be mindful of what's going on, and not to lose yourself too deeply in it.

[linefacingforever]

Yeah, I...

[Yu trailed off, swallowing.]

If I hadn't heard you, I think I would have let myself drown in it. I can't even really describe how that felt.

[thefinaljedi]

Sometimes you need that voice to pull you out. I know I did at first. It's why Jedi take apprentices, you know.

[Yu smiled a little at that, at once humbled and proud that he had Luke for a master.]

[He went over to sit by him, and once his rear end met the ground, everything that he had just done caught up to him at once. He reached up to rub at his eyes, trying not to yawn.]

It's a little exhausting though.

[thefinaljedi]

You get used to it. [He grins and adds] My young padawan learner.

[linefacingforever]

[Yu's smile broadened at that.]

Yes, Master.
