Topics

Hey everybody, I go to a university and in my English class I can write a research paper on any topic we wish except abortion, legalizing drugs, and other very common topics, since she's read those papers countless times.  I can have only one internet source, which is very good, because the internet is a very hard place to find accurate information consistently.

I am debating what to write about.  I have three options and all three are topics I would love to learn more about.

One is neuro-linguistic programming which is something interesting but don't know where to find good information on this topic.  Any journals explaining what it is and what are some discoveries of it would be great.

The second one is on auras.  Although I have a passion of trying to see auras every chance I get, and many times do, I am not sure whether I should pursue this topic because there is A LOT of information and A LOT of it seems very scattered and i've never read one that is backed up by science.  I need absolutely solid information on this topic if I were to do it.

The 3rd topic is on HEALING with energy.  I am leaning toward this topic the most because I practice it often toward my family members whenever they are in pain.  I have read Quantum Touch to learn how to assist in the healing process.  *I* know it works but for this kind of paper I need very good sources.  I also know that there are a number of books such as Energy Medicine and other books that explain healing with your hands, I have not read them but I need your help in telling me whether they are good sources.  I've read Barbara Brennen's "Hands of Light" which goes into insane detail as well.

I hope some of you can truly help me make this a very good paper.  I can talk about auras or healing from personal experience, but I don't want to do that.  I want to back everything up with established sources and I need your help in spreading the word on these great topics.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you very much in advance, I love this online community.  

I am not the one with the pain but a close friend who came to me for some help.  I want to know what are some things I could recommend to help him.  He has been having incredible stomach pains for the past month and feeling terrible.  This week the pain has been excruciating.  He's gone to doctors and have many tests/scans (xrays, etc) done, and dr after dr, no one knows what is the issue.

Yesterday his grandfather was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, who is experiencing pain as well, and sadly it has spread and there is nothing they can do.  That's when he told me these things and is wondering how this cannot possibly be coincidence.  I told him how empathy can be involved, but I don't know how to help relieve him of this connection, he obviously has a strong connection.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.  Is it correct to call this empathy?  Where do we go from here...

Thank you in advance.

If you stare at something for a minute or two you're going to burn a reverse color image of the object into your retina temporarily. If you shift your perspective a little you'll see what looks like an aura.

It is possible to see real auras but it's important not to get on the wrong track by thinking that retina burn-in is the same thing as seeing an aura.
