Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Charlotte, North Carolina
Reiki for the Queen City, by live Zoom
Charlotte carries the nickname the Queen City because it took its name from Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of Britain's King George III, when it was incorporated in 1768. The queen never set foot in the city, yet her name and her statues still mark it. The Ascension School of Healing Arts teaches its online Reiki and energy healing classes from Ferndale, Michigan, and people in Charlotte, North Carolina can join the live Zoom class from home.
That suits a city that stretches from Uptown out to Ballantyne, the master-planned growth area in far south Charlotte. Whether you live in Myers Park, SouthPark or Dilworth, Charlotte's first streetcar suburb, the live Zoom class arrives on your own screen, and the self-study courses wait for whenever your week opens up.
A quiet practice in a banking town
Charlotte is the second-largest banking center in the United States after New York City, and Bank of America remains headquartered among the Uptown towers that define the skyline. Days built around finance can run long and loud. Reiki offers a simple, hands-on practice of calm attention that you can return to at the end of a full day in the business district.
Charlotte calls its center city Uptown rather than downtown, divided into four wards radiating from the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets. A city that lays out its core that clearly may appreciate clear structure in learning too. ASHA classes move step by step, from the foundations of Reiki to practicing on yourself and others, so each lesson builds on the one before it.
Rebellion, gold and a steady hand
Charlotte has a streak of independence. In the Mecklenburg Resolves of May 31, 1775, local leaders declared the authority of the king and Parliament null and void, and British General Cornwallis reportedly called the area a hornet's nest of rebellion, an emblem still found on Charlotte police badges. People who like to think for themselves often enjoy a practice they can learn and then carry on alone.
Charlotte also hosted America's first gold rush in 1799, and the U.S. Mint that operated there later gave rise to the Mint Museum. Reiki asks for patience rather than a rush. The self-study courses let Charlotte learners go at their own pace, reviewing lessons as often as they like between live Zoom sessions.
From NoDa to Freedom Park, practice at home
NoDa, short for North Davidson, reinvented a former textile mill district as Charlotte's arts district, full of galleries, breweries and restaurants. Creative people in a neighborhood like NoDa can bring that same curiosity to energy work, learning to notice sensation, breath and stillness during the live Zoom class.
Freedom Park near Dilworth and Romare Bearden Park in Uptown, named for the Charlotte-born artist, give the city green space for a quiet walk, and that kind of stillness pairs well with Reiki. Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, leads ASHA classes and shows Charlotte learners what to practice on their own between sessions.
