Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Reiki Classes for the Red Stick, Live on Zoom
Baton Rouge takes its name from a red-painted cypress pole, roughly 30 feet tall and hung with fish bones, that marked the boundary between Houma and Bayougoula hunting grounds. People in the Red Stick can join the live Zoom class with the Ascension School of Healing Arts and learn Reiki from wherever they sit in Louisiana's capital.
That old pole was a marker of where one space ended and another began, and Reiki practice asks something similar of you: noticing where your attention rests and where it drifts. A student in Baton Rouge might sit down for the live Zoom class after a full day and use the first few minutes simply to settle, hands resting, breath slowing, before the lesson begins.
Fitting Practice Around a Capital City Workday
Baton Rouge became the capital of Louisiana in 1849, and today state government and LSU, the state's flagship university, anchor a large public and higher-education workforce. Add the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, the tenth-largest in the US by tonnage, and employers like ExxonMobil, Shell and Dow Chemical, and you get a city of long, varied schedules.
That is why ASHA offers two ways to learn. The live Zoom class gives you a teacher, real questions and a group to practice with, while the self-study courses let you work through lessons at your own pace. A student in Baton Rouge might join the live Zoom class for the first level, then return to the self-study courses on quieter evenings to review hand positions and keep a steady daily practice.
Carnival Season and a Quieter Practice
February in Baton Rouge belongs to carnival season, from the Spanish Town Mardi Gras Parade downtown on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday to the Krewe of Southdowns flambeaux night parade the Friday before Mardi Gras. With more than 10 carnival parades, the city keeps its own lively Mardi Gras spirit.
Reiki does not ask you to skip the beads and the brass bands. A student in Baton Rouge might plan around parade weekend by pausing the live Zoom class schedule and picking up a self-study lesson instead, then coming back to the group refreshed. A few quiet minutes of practice on Ash Wednesday morning can be a gentle way to close out a loud and joyful season.
Learning with Donna Lakes from Ferndale
ASHA is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. Through the live Zoom class, people in Baton Rouge can learn directly from her, ask questions in real time and practice alongside others who share an interest in Reiki and energy healing.
Baton Rouge is a city that loves to learn and gather, home to both LSU and Southern University, the flagship of the nation's only historically black university system, and host of the Baton Rouge Blues Festival, one of the oldest blues festivals in the country. Reiki fits that spirit of shared learning, and the live Zoom class brings the Red Stick and Ferndale into the same conversation.
