When I originally decided on a topic for my paper this semester, I was going to write it on how energy medicine can help depression. I personally feel that it is because of energy medicine that I am able to live a happy life, free from depression, without medication. The more I have researched it and gotten feed back, I feel like I need to take a little turn with that topic. I will still be addressing energy medicine, but from an educational platform. There are so many people that do not understand what I'm talking about. They are not familiar with terminology let alone processes. In order for people to even consider using it in their lives, they need to understand more of what it is and what it can do. I will still talk about conditions that can be helped but I think my main focus will be informing.

As I have done research, not just now, but throughout the years, it is always interesting to see the many ways energy medicine has helped people. Because of such positive results, I am still amazed at the number of people who think it is a bunch of hooey. I appreciate that science needs empirical evidence and that is how their research is done. What is wrong with looking outside the box? It's not like they have all the answers and it's not like all their answers are good. I know that I look at things differently than a lot of people because I was raised in a home where alternative treatments were the norm. However, to see people who are afraid to do anything if it hasn't been proven in a petrie dish is sad to me.

I have been surprised at the amount of information I have been able to find. I am learning more and more with each article I read. My challenge is going to be organizing it all in a way that will be simple, yet interesting, and understandable to the reader. I love my subject and I want to share that with others, especially those who have not been exposed to it before.
