TRT and the Quality of Life for Women over 75

Sharings from TRTIA Project:

Improving the Quality of Life for Women over 40

Authorized Instructors Ann Healy and Katherine Lenel, in cooperation with TRTIA, designed a project to support women over 40 with the aging process. Ann and Katherine are both over 40 and have studied TRT for many years. They realize the tremendous benefit of using TRT to improve the quality of their own lives and want to support other women in doing this. There is an ongoing need for the benefits of TRT especially for women in our culture. A survey was designed to elicit sharings from the participants for use in the TRTIA ongoing collection of experiential data.

The participants in this project shared the following list of issues related to their quality of life as women over 40:

  • self-esteem, loneliness, depression, sustaining relationships, memory problems, weight loss, self-acceptance, the "doldrums," stress, lack of confidence, worry over finances, loss of youth, lack of energy, wanting to positively influence others
    •

    Just a few of the entries selected from The Expanded Reference Manual of The Radiance Technique for the specific benefit of the participants are:

  • Quality of Life, Stress, Rest, Restore, Well, Wellness, Memory, Energizing/Revitalizing, Self-confident, Self-help, Zest, Play

    •

    How are you using The Radiance Technique for support in your daily life?
  • Shirley: I am using Hands-On with imagery to counter an illness I caught after our first session. It has kept me going.
    •
  • Lisa: Hands-On to release stress; for relaxing and I am sleeping better; for support with pre-menopause symptoms; support for myself and my cat, Madeline, during her health illness; for lifting depression
    •
  • Allison: Head every morning; full body twice a day
    •

    Describe the ways you use TRT .
  • Shirley: Shorter series of hands-on positions; single hands-on positions in the course of daily life
    •
  • Lisa: Full hands-on session before I get up; head positions in the middle of the night; Heart Center, Back Positions #1 and #4 during work
    •
  • Allison: Full treatment at least once and usually twice a day; short head positions every morning
    •

    In what situations do you find TRT especially helpful? Describe how you use TRT in those situations and what you experience or sense.
  • Shirley: Particularly touching my chest as central touch calms me and centers me so I can focus, rest and feel self-control and inner peace. It's a feeling of wellness. While feeling physically unwell recently it gave me a balance I didn't have otherwise.
    •
  • Lisa: When releasing stress after work; during stress at work; driving to and from work in traffic; I sense calmness, relaxation, sleepiness, peace, clarity, more energy and motivation
    •
  • Allison: I use Hands-on with imagery and focus on daily goals; I think it has improved my imagery.
    •

    What has changed in your daily life, or in your experience, since learning TRT ?
  • Shirley: Not that there has been a change in my life but there is a peacefulness, a coping mechanism to utilize I hadn't had. Before I had to just "make it" without having a tool to reinforce confidence and well-being.
    •
  • Lisa: Tons of peaks and valleys of emotion; higher energy and sustained energy; lack of procrastination; a tad more interested in tackling mundane tasks
    •
  • Allison: Helps waking up in the morning which after 43 years, nothing else has; mental clarity is much sharper than coffee has ever been and I am using less and less coffee
    •

    Are there specifics hands-on positions you prefer? Do you use those positions more often? If so, how long do you use them, and how often?
  • Shirley: I like touching my head on all sides for calmness and quiet. Again, I am not quiet by nature. My mind and thoughts churn and spin in skip-sequence to multi-level thoughts . . . so this brings me to a quiet place where I can meditate, rejuvenate and worship with my God in my way.
    •
  • Lisa: All head positions and often for an hour in and of themselves; I use Heart Center position a lot throughout the day all on its own.
    •
  • Allison: Head Position #2; sometimes several minutes longer
    •

     

    "It's great there is such a simple technique for helping yourself."

    "Head Position #2 wakes me up clearer than coffee ever does!"

    "This technique is such a gift. Thank-you so much for doing this."
