Alternative Web Sites

The sites listed on this page are not what I would consider geared for helping treat depression specifically. What they do offer are various ways in which one can find happiness through self-reflection, self-awareness and so on. They attempt to help people find their true potential, something that we are all born with. And in the end if they can help with easing the affects of depression then all the better. I myself use some of these techniques myself. Some of the web sites I've found through surfing the net and others from some of the books I have read. None of the sites are a substitute for professional help, I'm just trying to give you additional possibilities.

The Healing Power of Color from New Age On-line Australia an article that goes into the history of color and its uses in healing. At the bottom of the article is a listing of several colors and there affects. This article reminds me of a time when I went to the local police station as a kid on a tour. The officers told us the the cells were painted that color (pink) because of its known calming effects on people.

Interview with God this site was pointed out to me by a great friend, who also suffers from depression. What I really found interesting is that he too found it a peaceful site, even with his lack of strong religious faith. Click on "view presentation", sit back listen to the music and read. You may need to install the necessary plug-in. But it will be worth it. Thanks Wayne NEW
