Mental Discipline

If some saw the rigor of a daily training of the mind as a limitation to their freedom, Kenko, the Shape of Health, often reminded them that good health was not only physical, but also in the mind.

Thus, to rebuild Esperia on healthier foundations, it was also necessary to rethink the foundations of a healthy society, for the body as well as for the mind.

Through small habits, stress management can be improved by maintaining self-confidence and hope in the face of adversity.

Sport, of course, was an activity that combined benefits for both the body and the mind!

Meditation allowed one to focus on the present moment, in silence and through breathing, and to let go of one’s thoughts.

Reading and philosophy were encouraged, in order to engage in introspection.
And of course, reconnecting with nature to restore oneself was promoted by the new Esperia.

For caring for one’s mind ultimately meant developing one’s StarDust, as it involves all the elements!

And that is why Kenko, as well as the other Shapes, applied themselves the principles they taught.

The reason for existence. The purpose of life. Little by little, it had exhausted him, and he eventually lost motivation for everything he did. He

    The use of magic by the Espers transformed their world in a radical way. Not only had it forever changed the ecosystem of their planet, but it had also greatly complicated their society. For although magic had allowed such systems to be created, for an Esper, on an individual scale, their senses and the reach

    The meeting between Cha Cha, our platypus friend, and Guruko, a young Esper from the Valley of the Wind, was the spark that revealed the compassion buried within him. Guruko was pure and innocent, which gave her a charming beauty. This contrasted with Cha Cha, who had little by little lost sight of that light,

    In today’s lesson, Vati, the Forme of Wisdom, wanted to remind something essential. What had made the strength of the Espers until now was neither magic, nor their intelligence, nor their physical strength. What had made the Espers capable of such feats was communication and mutual help. Some new technologies had made dialogue between different

    The representative color of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was a deep blue reminiscent of the oceans. The ebb and flow of its waves, its highs and lows, formed an image now associated with balance. Far from being a straight line, there are good and bad sides to everything: a situation, a new technology, life

    If there was one thing the Espers were not made for, it was to feel the impermanence of time. Whether it concerned the past or the future, everything that is not the present or close to it quickly becomes abstract, taking shape through stories. These stories are then shaped by their experience, lived or learned,

    For Esperia, this was the discovery of the StarDust, revealed to all at the end of the Chaos War, which had been the trigger for the Espers to finally act in concert. Indeed, for years, despite technological progress and even learning to use magic, which had made many tedious tasks child’s play, the inertia of
