People across Arkansas, from the northwestern highlands of the Ozarks and Ouachitas to the southeastern lowlands of the Arkansas Delta, can join the live Zoom class offered by the Ascension School of Healing Arts. Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, leads each session with steady pacing, clear explanations and room for questions, so you can learn Reiki and energy healing classes from wherever you call home.
All you need for the live Zoom class is a quiet corner, a reliable connection and a little time set aside. A student in Little Rock, the capital and largest city, might join from a spare bedroom after work, while someone in a small Ozark town or a farming community in the Delta can take part in exactly the same class, with the same teacher and the same chance to ask questions.
Not every week looks the same, especially in a state that is the nation's largest producer of rice, broilers and turkeys and ranks fourth nationally in softwood lumber production. A student in Arkansas whose work follows planting, harvest or timber schedules might choose a self-study course that waits patiently for the slower months, then pick up the lessons again when the fields are quiet.
Each self-study course is laid out in clear steps, so you can read, practice and return to a lesson as often as you like. Many people find it helpful to begin with self-study to learn the language and basic hand positions, then join the live Zoom class when they want a group to practice with and a teacher to answer questions in real time.
Arkansas calls itself the Natural State, and with 52 state parks there is no shortage of quiet places for reflection. A student in Arkansas might take the breathing and grounding exercises from class outdoors, near Hot Springs National Park or along the Buffalo National River, and then bring those notes and impressions back to the next live Zoom class to talk through with the group.
Someone who loves the long view from Mount Magazine in the Ouachita Mountains, the high point of the state at 2,753 feet, might find that the stillness of an overlook pairs well with the calm, unhurried focus that Reiki practice asks for. The Ozarks and Ouachitas together form the U.S. Interior Highlands, a landscape that rewards slowing down and paying attention, which is much of what a Reiki student practices.
Arkansas has long gathered people around shared traditions, from the Ozark Folk Festival at Mountain View to the blues heritage of Helena-West Helena and Pine Bluff. A live Zoom class works in a similar spirit: a small group meeting regularly, sharing what they notice, and learning side by side even when they live in very different corners of the state.
To begin, decide whether the live Zoom class or a self-study course suits you best right now, then reach out to ASHA with any questions. Donna will help you choose a starting point that matches your schedule and goals, so you can begin practicing Reiki with clear guidance and a warm, grounded approach.
