One Daily Tale

The Brain

Cha Cha thought that, theoretically, on Earth, even though the Seven Shapes are unknown to everyone, the human brain might be what a potential StarDust looks like!

Feeding and exercising our body indirectly powers our brain, and the better the source of energy—what we eat—the better our brain functions.

Learning, of course, but also interacting with others, trying new challenges (especially after failures), being curious about the world, and being aware of it all help our brain grow.

And as we sleep each night, all those steps for a healthy brain need to be done daily—as habits that grow with time—because it is during sleep that everything we’ve experienced gets processed in our brain.

This is also why balance in how we use our time is important. Neglecting any of the Shapes means neglecting to nurture one of the Seven Seeds, since sleep is when we process all of the day’s experiences.

“It could work… But it would require the participation of everyone…”

    The world is filled with countless mysteries yet to be discovered, and with so many things that have been learned through the years since the beginning of civilizations.

    Atma found in Shala the figure of an older sister, someone with whom she could share her vision of the world. As the Shape of Balance, Atma was there to help the Espers remember that balance was essential for a bright StarDust. But she couldn’t help them directly—they had to understand and act on their

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples

    After they created One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes knew this was only the first step toward a peaceful Esperia. “From now on, the real challenge begins,” thought Vati, who understood better than anyone that while truth could be written with words, actions and behaviors did not always follow naturally. This was when Faya stepped

    There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,

    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
