Hawaii is made up of 137 volcanic islands, and its eight main islands run northwest to southeast, from Niʻihau and Kauaʻi to Maui and Hawaiʻi, the Big Island. The live Zoom class from the Ascension School of Healing Arts reaches every one of those islands the same way: a laptop or tablet, a quiet corner and a steady connection.
Two-thirds of residents live on Oʻahu, where Honolulu stands, yet a learner on Molokaʻi or Lānaʻi can join the very same session and hear the very same teaching. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the live Zoom class keeps the lessons plain, practical and open to questions as they come up.
With people of Hawaii spread from Kauaʻi in the northwest to the Big Island in the southeast, a fixed group session will not suit every household on every day. ASHA's self-study courses let a learner on any of the eight main islands work through the material at their own pace and return to a lesson whenever they need to.
A student in Hawaii might begin with a self-study course to learn the basic hand positions and ideas, then join the live Zoom class later to practice alongside others and ask questions directly. Both options are open to anyone in the Aloha State who wants a calm, steady place to start.
Polynesian culture is the aboriginal culture of the islands, and Hawaii carries its own long history, language and knowledge that belong to it. ASHA teaches Reiki as Reiki, and we do not present it as a Hawaiian practice or borrow Hawaiian words to describe what we teach.
English and Hawaiian are both official languages of the state, and its motto, Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono, is rendered as the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness. A student in Hawaii might simply bring their own care for home and place into a quiet daily Reiki practice, keeping the two respectfully side by side.
Whether you live on Oʻahu near the capital or on a quieter island such as Kauaʻi or Molokaʻi, the steps to take part are the same. Choose either the live Zoom class or a self-study course, sign up online, and check that your device has a working camera and microphone before your first session.
For the live Zoom class, a calm spot at home where you can sit or lie comfortably makes practice easier, and a pillow or blanket nearby helps. For self-study courses, pick a regular time in your week so the lessons build on each other, and come back to the live Zoom class whenever you want to practice with a group.
Self-Study Courses Reiki Certification
Yes. The live Zoom class and the self-study courses work the same way on Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, the Big Island or anywhere else with a steady internet connection.
Either works. A student in Hawaii might start with a self-study course to learn at their own pace, then join the live Zoom class to practice with others and ask questions.
No. Hawaii has its own traditions rooted in Polynesian culture, and ASHA respects them by teaching Reiki simply as Reiki, without presenting it as Hawaiian.
