The Headspace app has come together with Lucasfilm, the makers of Star Wars, on new mindfulness content.

Mindfulness is a practice that has been around for thousands of years and helps people relax and train their attention.

These include animated breathing exercises featuring well-known characters Yoda, R2-D2, BB-8, and Chewbacca.

The app will also allow listeners to take their imaginations to memorable places in the Star Wars galaxy to help them sleep - the X-wing Voyage, Tatooine Sunset, and Islands of Ahch-To.
