Hi all! I'm hoping some of you can share a little of your knowledge & experiences with my Hex's :)


So to begin!
At the start of the year I was suppose to be starting a full comprehensive course in a niche area of physical fitness. But disaster struck when I broke my foot weeks before I was due to start, quite literally putting the breaks on my study plans.
The cause of the break is still unknown (still waiting on an MRI) & it is still there, now in both feet & causing pain. So while I went back training there is limits on what I can do for now until I know what's going on with my feet & until it's fully healed.
So this had put a giant pause on rejoining the course in a year as I wouldn't know if I'd be healed in time & strength built back up to perform on the more advanced equipment.

I had since found that another professional school offered courses broken up so you can take each section separately. Which suits my needs much better.
I am currently finishing up the first course but finding it incredibly intense! The actual exercises I am fine with & reallyenjoy, but the anatomy part I am struggling with some what & it's really knocking my confidence. So much so that I'm getting in my own head too much & doubting myself.
This course finishes up this wkend, with all the extra training, teaching, studying etc to be done outside course time & before the exam, which I must take within 6mths of finishing the last course date.

I had planned on going straight into the next course (course 2) which starts in mid January, but I feel it maybe taking on too much & not enough time to let all the info on this current course sink in.
On the other hand, the next course is based solely on the equipment I'm most familiar with, most confident on & love the most. I use it almost daily. I'm thinking this will motivate me & get me out of this mental block I'm having cause I enjoy it so much. Plus all the current course material will be much fresher in my mind then if I leave a few months gap between courses. It might just be the boost I need.

There is also another course that is the advanced add on course to the section I'm currently doing (course 3) which happens in March. I plan on doing it anyway but possibly at a later date. I'm not sure if I should just wait & do this course in March instead of course 2.

Alternatively the school I had originally enrolled in are doing a once off course (on the same equipment as course 2) for the first time in my country, which starts in mid March. Let's call this course 4.
But doing that would mean exams with both schools & keeping certified with both schools each year....so alot of extra costs.

So I asked:

What's the outcome of doing course 2 in Jan? - Hexagram 24 .3.4.6 > Hexagram 30

What's the outcome of waiting to do course 3? (in Mar) - Hexagram 21 .2 > Hexagram 38

What's outcome of switching to course 4? - Hexagram 60 .1.6 > Hexagram 59


Yikes! I was thinking course 2 looked the best option with 24 - 30....but those lines!

I'm stumped! :confused:

Any input on these castings would be very much appreciated! :bows:

How serious is the foot injury?

course 2 : 24.6 is about going too far, you'll regret this one, big time.

I'm not sure about course 3's reading in this context.

(is course 4 an online course?)

Thank you Moss Elk for your reply :)

Since doing the above castings I snapped myself out of it by reminding myself that is OK to get things wrong, that is what I am there for - to learn.
And I have to tell you it made a BIG difference!
I went into the final week of the current course much more relaxed & open, and performed & absorbed information much, much better.
I completed the course on Sunday & had a performance review - they were very happy with me & said I was more than ready for the next course. In fact they said because my background is on the equipment of course 2 that doing it would help me greatly & make things cone together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But this is the only course the school is doing before my exam deadline.

I am now wondering if 24 > 30 is saying return to the school.
And the warning in 24.6 about missing the return/being too late is about missing the application deadline or the spaces on the course filling up fast (there are only 10 places)…… so hurry up & don't miss out??

As for my foot - I'm really not sure how serious it is. I didn't break it due to an injury or any kind of trauma. So the cause is unknown & still there so I really need the mri so I can start proper treatment.
In fact I rang the hospital this morning & managed to finally get an answer on how long the backlog is for scans - still another 8mths minimum wait!
Which is obviously way too long so I'm calling the consultant in the morning to get a referral so I can go to a private clinic & pay for a scan there
