oriental concentration exercises??? In the basement, the doors opened, and Caius was impressed with what he saw. A huge area with lots of soldiers busy working on different activities Some were practicing shooting with laser guns, perfecting their aim to strike very small objects at long distances. Some girls were simulating combat, while others did oriental concentration exercises. Thou showed Caius around, and took him to a room where some people tapped away at computers. In front of them, there was a huge map of the world showing the location of agents on missions. I would like to know what does " oriental " here mean. Thanks.

"oriental" is a synonym for "eastern". By "oriental concentration exercises" they probably meant religious meditation practices that had originated in "eastern" parts of the globe, such as India and China, e.g. anapanasati.
