Kelnorim

A form of deep meditation, which Jaffa are required to perform on a regular basis in order to survive. During kelnorim, both Jaffa and symbiote are as one being, giving the symbiote, if needed, the instructions it needs to repair injuries or illness in the body. It is also possible for their minds to intermingle.

Generally, kelnorim is a replacement for sleep -- which Jaffa do not do.
