I appreciate the idea behind light therapy, and I do believe it has its uses. But as far as battling seasonal mood changes, I wonder if meditation and positive affirmations would be just as effective, if not more so? There's a line in that article, "He can feel the effects when he falls off the light box wagon, as he did recently during a particularly busy time at work." By using meditation and affirmations, one could never "fall off the wagon." My hope is that research centers focus their efforts on energy healing and meditation because I know there would be massive breakthroughs in unifying spirituality, science, and medicine.

However, this article was focused on conditions believed to be influenced by circadian rhythm. Light unambiguously has an effect on circadian rhythm, whereas meditation, maybe not so much.
