promote mi job - marketing? 11.1.3 > 7

[mutatis mutandis]

Hi everyone.
It's been a long time I haven't posted anything here, but I make questions and read your stories very often. They are very helpful very often too.

I am close to finish a 4 year program in the Feldenkrais Method. I am already authorised to impart classes since the very beginning of 2022. I was a specialized prenatal yoga teacher for years. This field is not closed for ever, but not central anymore and I teach pre natal only eventually.

I really want to develop my teaching in Feldenkrais and make a career of it. I have almost 20 years in the ground of somatics. In my country the method is not very well known, so my trust in the mouth to mouth is not being too fruitful, plus I really need to work for the money, my emotional integrity and because I want to leave another job that doesn't fulfill me anymore.

When I started with pre natal I waited in patience and it brought fruits because of its specialised nature, there were not many teachers on the market and I am good at it.

My first question
Should I start doing Marketing for F? 11.1.3 > 7
In my mind marketing has always been a bit of a "dirty" word, but when I ask about it I am thinking about creating a blog or web, a fan page and posting frequently. I have some issues about telling people "this is good, do it" even though I do think it is good. I have also been reflecting on the fact that it is not possible to let something be known without talking about it.
I read this as a very positive answer of needing to organise myself and just let if flow with the web (1) and being constant (3) because it will be fruitful.

My second question
Only online classes? 1.3.4 > 61
Maybe I should have asked without the "only" because I think I will never resign in the value of in person classes...
Anyway, it seems a very good answer with lots of potential. As can be told by my first lines I have mixed feelings about it but online seems to be very comfortable and popular nowadays... By the way, I am online sharing with you too...
My doubts come from this being positive... My inner truth is I want to do it even though I have mixed feelings and it seems to bring lots of creativity... What I don't understand are the comments about at nightfall on alert (3), like talking about too much enthusiasm that could be not healthy if I work until to late? And in line 4 it says dancing in the abyss is not a mistake... Maybe because it is risky and new... I don't want to become just a product of marketing and become impersonal... and at the same time talking in a more intimate way I am, at 45, starting to understand boundaries better, about how much I get involved with others feelings... I consider myself an oversensitive person... Or this has nothing to do?

My third question
Keeping the face-to-face classes? 36.1.5 > 39
This seems the least favourable.
Yes, I am limping and I know my brightness is hidden right now but I also want to keep this sacred space of being in front, physically close to people, but I am not having many students and I won't have them if I don't make my work being known... Before pandemics online classes weren't common in my country and now I have a feeling of the importance of closeness but I also understand how "comfortable" an online class can be, plus it is Winter here and extremely cold (no one uses heaters and the FM is very slow, so what seems secondary is not).

My fourth and last question
Using a brand name other than my own name? 55.1.4 > 15
It seems right to preserve my integrity... I am also a political activist in a social media. I have nothng to hide about it but I don't want this to be mixed with my FM classes.
This also seems to be positive... I would need to think of a name / sort of branding... Who is "my lord" in lines 1 and 4. I cannot make the connection with my question. 55 also talks about not hidding... so maybe I should take the risk of "integrating" both sides of my life??

I would like your help mainly with questions 3 and 4, but it is appreciated help about the whole situation. Thank you also for reading until here.

Hello,
Congratulations for your 4 years of study Feldenkrais, a very interesting therapy.

11.1.3 – 7: yes you should start marketing with the web and social networks. Hexagram 11 "the great comes; Good fortune. Success " and hexagram 7 evokes your position as a king who must organize himself with his armies and auxiliaries. With your yoga teacher address book, you already have a potential clientele...

1.3.4 – 61: I think you're right to mix online and face-to-face courses. In any case, hexagram 1 is positive for the creation of your project. Line 3 points out a lot of work awaits you and line 4 gives you courage to dance in the abyss... But with Feldenkrais, you know you have all the resources in you!
61 is the hexagram that could point to what you say about how you get involved in the feelings of others: you need to set limits... Perhaps the confidence limits of online courses relate to 61. You also need face-to-face I think.

36.1.5 – 39 probably relates to what you say, your brightness is hidden at the moment but that does not mean that you should abandon the face-to-face. In the Judgment of 36 : "It is advantageous to be persistent."

55.1.4 – 15: probably a good idea to choose a name. The lord is the right idea, the right direction, the right association. Line 1 you will change your name, line 4 you will find another name that suits you better. It also evokes your future professional change... 15: a beautiful hexagram that speaks of your integrity in this time of change 55.

These are my hypotheses !

Hi Matali. Thank you very much for your hyphoteses about my readings. I think mine and yours are close, and that there also are some specifications from your comments that are very useful.

Hi again. Even though I believe the answers were clear I am having trouble starting a real promotion of my work. Should I ask another question or anyone else would like to comment on the original questions? Gracias
