Cavern Scents Journey

Shorah, Explorers.  Hello, Healers.  Welcome to all who have set upon this page.

This is a page with links to various articles I have published around the Multi-Verse.  I will add new articles as they are published.  The articles and pages are mostly related to my work with the Revnekan Institute of the Healing Arts and with the restoration of the Guild of Healers.  Others are conclusions of my own historical research in Cavern or Earth history, or are summaries of my observations of Professor Lekato’s excavations at the Archa Medievalia archeological site.  A few may seem unrelated until you get to know them. .  The articles take you further to other publications, artwork, and suggestions for more reading.  (Sorry about the ads, but I have no control over most of those.)

Healing, Inspirational, or Self-Empowerment Articles:

A Deep Cleansing Breath for Mental Clarity

This article illustrates some helpful hints regarding deep breathing and its connection to mental clarity.  This also contains the introductory instructions for the breathing technique I explain each time we meet for a Guild of Healers’ meditation in the Outreach Retreat.  (More information about the Retreat at the end of the Articles’ List).

Deep Breathing to Increase Self Empowerment

In this article I discuss ways in which deliberate deep breathing can assist you in increasing your confidence and help you feel more empowered.  Listening calms the mind and links your center of balance to yourself in a way that brings forth an awareness that the good things in your life also come from within you.

The Compassionate Empath: Heal Yourself, Heal Others

This article discusses the general nature of compassion, although quite briefly.  It provides insights and ways to view compassion so as to work with it more effectively in your life.  The upshot of the article is this:  compassion, whether a feeling or an awareness, is helpful to yourself and to others who are in your presence when you are in a compassionate state.

Beat Depression Gently and Naturally

So many of us have had to work through depression at one time or another.  Whether this depression was short term or seemed to go on forever, it is difficult to see beyond the emotions when we are in it.  In this article I talk about ways in which changing my perception of myself during a bout of depression helped me to feel better in control of it.  It may help you give yourself some relief from it for a short while.

Creosote Bush may provide indirect healing benefits.

The Creosote Bush exists on the surface of the Earth and is found in certain desert environments.  It is also found in a few ages in the Cavern, namely Relto and Er’cana.  In specific tests, it exhibits an “ability to take up copper ions rapidly from solution.” Reference Article.  It is possible that the bush draws into it certain heavy metals (such as copper) out of soil, thus allowing the soil to become purified enough to support moderate to heavy agricultural use.  This article will explore this possibility given that the Age of Er’cana is said to be a food, or agricultural, age.  (Article forthcoming.)

Discussions regarding the Guild of Healers’ Restoration efforts are taking place at our Guild Forum.  We also meet in the Guild of Healers’ Neighborhood in the Cavern.  More about the Cavern can be found at the Myst Online/Uru Live site, as can instructions for entering the Cavern.  Our Outreach Retreat came to be during a time we were not able to enter the Cavern, and is located in Second Life.  You can get there via the SL viewer (or a third party viewer). Click here for the location of the Retreat (called a slurl, or second-life-url) once you have the viewer up and running.
