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.

    As one of the central places in Esperia, the Great Library had many sections, but all of them were interconnected. As much as possible, the Espers tried to remind themselves of the importance of the 7 Shapes. A section called “The Basics” received particular attention from its Elders, as all young Espers had to learn

    Harmony may have been the word that best described Esperia—a true utopia where nature, living creatures, and the Espers who populated this world spent their days in mutual respect. With the guidance of the 7 Shapes, and especially Atma, the Shape of Balance, the Espers contributed to sustaining their existence while preserving the land they

    We quickly forget what we don’t see before our eyes. That may be why the history of wars and violence seems to repeat itself again and again. No one can truly understand what happens during wars, during genocides, unless they witness it themselves. Most of those making decisions live in elite spheres, disconnected from the

    Just as the brain needs failure to grow, it also needs to overcome adversity in order to learn. If there is no obstacle, why progress? The twist is that throughout history, this need for obstacles has sometimes taken the form of creating enemies. In many languages, this took the name of “barbarians.” In ancient times,

That’s why it’s important to do a few exercises—ideally every day—to rebuild the muscles that are lost. It’s a combination of a few things: More muscles also mean more calories burned

    Have you noticed how young children ask so many questions about everything new they discover, hear, or see? This curiosity and fascination with the world is a gift that should be nurtured as much as possible. Why? Because being curious leads us to learn about things, rather than simply accepting them as they are. It

    If the debate between nature and nurture has endured through the ages, looking at it from the perspective of brain development makes it clear that nurture plays a significant role in shaping who a person becomes as an adult. Even in the womb, before the cognitive parts of the brain have fully developed, the emotional
