My Experience with QTR
I began practising QTR, this energetic technique, and it changed the way I see and feel things, especially in my professional life. A series of circumstances always led me to work in places with heavy, negative energy, resulting in personal dissatisfaction. I often felt inadequate and undervalued, persistently ill at ease and desperate to escape.
Looking back now, I realise I was moving away from situations that made me unhappy rather than moving towards a better professional goal.
With QTR, I manage my emotions more effectively: it helps me find the focus, the calm, the awareness I need to face the working day. Not so much to convince myself that I enjoy my work, but to change the way I see and experience it.
Naturally, I don't use this technique solely in a professional context; I use it throughout everyday life, as a genuine way of living.
Rebalancing matters because it helps us recognise limiting patterns and the beliefs that hold us back and stand in our way. When energy flows positively, everything flows more harmoniously. I am fond of the word harmoniously, because for me the body is a wonderful resonating chamber filled with sounds and instruments. It is a lovely thought — that the body moves by making music, that our thoughts are instruments capable of composing marvellous music, and that the words of the people we listen to are songs we can take as our own.
One situation that helped me understand my gift was, again, a professional one: by telling my colleagues about this technique, I was able to receive their grievances, listening to them without judgement, and this opened the door to a truer, more sincere kind of listening. When they need to talk, they seek me out; when they have some physical pain, they ask for my help.
In this way I came to understand that I have the gift of listening, and when I see their smiles as they tell me they feel better, I can only feel grateful for the opportunity that undertaking this path has given me.
QTR has helped me achieve greater serenity, awareness, self-esteem and clarity of purpose. This is my experience, and I hope it may be of some use to you.
I would like to thank Ileana Rotella, founder of the QTR technique, for believing in me and for helping me believe in myself.
