Making Plans for Classes

In getting training a year ago, I wasn't certain that I'd want to do anything with the 7th Path Self Hypnosis (R) technique other than using it for personal growth and development. But in the intervening time, I've thought more and more about teaching it in a seminar or classroom style. The main challenge to making that happen was that I hadn't really paid close enough attention to *how* to teach it. So when the opportunity came up for me to re-take the training class, I *JUMPED* on it!

Now I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out *where* I could do these kinds of classes and how I'd handle some of the logistics. Preferably, the students would be able to recline comfortably. Not having thousands of dollars to throw at a permanent facility with lots of comfy recliners, though, I have to look for a practical, affordable, portable alternative. So I can take my classroom with me wherever I go, be it The Crossings, or Sun City or a church Fellowship Hall somewhere or a rented hotel ballroom.

The option I've come up with is actually one I've thought about before: a reclining folding lounge chair. My friend Deanna had turned me onto this website called www.livingxl.com some time ago - they cater to the heavier individual - and sure enough, they had EXACTLY the chair I was looking for (http://www.livingxl.com/store/en_US/catalog/browse_sku.jsp?clear=true&catID=cat70187&prodId=X1413&id=cat70187), and it's rated up to 400 lbs! Right now, they're even on sale (regularly $119.95, now $109.95). Of course, I still don't have hundreds of dollars to throw at buying several chairs, so I'm going to have to figure this one out somehow... I'm planning to take whatever money I get from doing sessions and invest it back into my business. Once I get something like a minimum of 5 - 10 chairs, I can start doing classes (of course, then my challenge becomes how do I transport that many chairs - they fold up, but they still take up space!).

Meantime, I might go for something like this as an even less expensive alternative: http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=10043&procid=39&catid=517
