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.

    For the Seven Shapes, trying at last to build a society that was fair for everyone was no simple task. Whether it was the inertia of a system established over centuries, or the inertia of the attitudes of the individuals who composed it, sometimes reluctant toward changes that came too suddenly, they had to balance…

    Like clouds drifting peacefully across the sky, or nature itself, free and carefree, a way of life distant from the material world was increasingly favored on Esperia. The intensive use of magic had indeed forever destabilized the climate, and Aether, the life source of the planet, had reached a critical threshold and was close to…

    Vingel, our little dog friend of the Fire element, gazed deeply into the future that The Seven Shapes were trying to create through One Daily Tale. “This is a task that seems so difficult…” he thought. And for good reason, the understanding of the world, following the end of the War of Chaos, had highlighted…

One thing was clear in any case: it already shone extremely brightly, naturally, during pregnancy, but also throughout childhood. The Seven Shapes had therefore thought it necessary to create a society that promotes the healthy growth…

    Simba, our little monkey friend, had roamed across the lands of the different elements. He had noticed one thing: while the elements differ on paper, the behaviors of the Espers were often the same, regardless of the element. He could see carefree young Espers, parents worried by the news of the day, disparities between the…

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus friend, was discussing one of his theories with Guruko. “When you think about a relationship on equal terms, we don’t usually think about comparing individuals from different countries. We often remain focused on a given country, often the one of our birth.” he thought. “Isn’t that normal? Many people…
