3) Call for help
Dear Sir/Madam:
My
name is Namuun and I'm currently an undergraduate at Ohio Wesleyan
University.
I'm very passionate about studying energy
medicine/biofield science in the future and
I was wondering if you could
take the time to give some advice for me.
Others
have recommended to me that biophysics is the most related science to
human
energy field, if I want to become a researcher. But I also want
to
become a practitioner as well. And since this field of energy medicine
is pretty new, I'm having some trouble finding any information on
undergraduate hands-on training for energy medicine and bioenergetics.
My
question is do you have an undergraduate research internship or volunteering
opportunity at the center? I am willing to do anything just to have the
chance to
observe and have a direct experience with anything related to
energy medicine.
If you don't have one, could you give me some
guidance
as to where to look for
places that
offer training in energy medicine for undergraduates? And
also I would be most
thankful if you could give me suggestions on what to study, what majors
besides biophysics, and what paths to take toward a career in this
field.
I can only imagine how busy you might be. But I am most grateful for any feedback
that you can provide.
Sincerely,
Namuun Bat
