Meditation

When Guruko was still very young and learning so much from Grandma Luna—about how the Espers lived, and how Esperia was a land of harmony—there was one thing she found hard to understand.
It was something a bit like meditation, as humans know it.

“The path to grow the seed of Eklea is surely the most difficult,” said Grandma Luna.
“But like anything else, the more you practice, the better you become.”

She added gently, “Remember, meditation is a way of recognizing that you are part of the whole universe. It’s a moment to live fully in the present, and to thank the Seven Shapes for their blessings.”

That’s why it’s important to take the time to listen to yourself—to notice how your body feels, and how your thoughts come and go like waves: sometimes soft, sometimes strong.

“And by doing that, we help the seed of Eklea grow, right?” asked Guruko.

“Exactly so,” replied Grandma Luna, with her always-comforting smile.

“I like meditations a lot!” said Cha Cha. “But I also fall asleep a lot while doing them…”

And everyone laughed.

    The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and

    The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others. Why? Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well. Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the

    Though Esperia had finally managed to create a stable society, nothing was perfect. Many Espers still opposed the new rules set by the Seven Shapes. But this too served as a lesson to grow from. Every Esper is different, and the ways we adapt to new situations differ as well. The Shadows of some Espers

    The habits we build, one small step at a time, are like seeds that must be nurtured gently but steadily each day in order to bear fruit. “One step a day, day after day,” could be a way of thinking that every Esper remembers when seeing Shala. A few minutes of training or work may

    The Seven Shapes were discussing how Esperia had changed since the discovery of the StarDust. “Before, we didn’t even know we shared the same planet,” exclaimed Vati. “Nor did we know that all the different Elements are just parts of the same source, the StarDust,” thought Eklea. “It was a long journey that led us

    All the Espers of Esperia knew about Kenko. She was the absolute incarnation of what one would imagine when thinking of proper health. Not only physically, but mentally as well, Kenko had, throughout the years and through daily effort, become the very Shape of Health. She would always say: “It’s not complicated, but it certainly

    While the end of the Chaos War brought a sudden state of peace to Esperia, the way the StarDust worked ushered in a period of necessary adaptation. The Seven Shapes did their best through the work of One Daily Tale, but the lingering Shadow within many Espers still prevailed over their StarDust. Yakara was a
