Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Hilo, Hawaii
Reiki study from the rainy side of Hawaii Island
Hilo sits on the windward, east side of Hawaii Island, on Hilo Bay, in a high-rainfall part of the island. A wet morning there suits a quiet hour at the screen, and ASHA's live Zoom classes let people in Hilo learn Reiki from home while the rain falls outside.
Hilo is the seat of Hawaii County and had 44,186 residents in the 2020 census, yet it is a census-designated place rather than an incorporated city. ASHA is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and its teaching reaches Hilo through a live Zoom class and through self-study courses you can open whenever your week allows.
Merrie Monarch week and a steady practice
Hilo is the host town of the Merrie Monarch Festival, an annual hula competition held the week after Easter and first staged in 1964. The town is busy with that event, and a student in Hilo might use self-study lessons on the crowded days, then return to a live Zoom class once the festival week has passed.
The festival was organized after Hawaii County officials sought to rebuild the island economy following tsunami damage and sugar's decline. That history of rebuilding is part of Hilo's character, and the small, regular habits taught in a Reiki class, such as a few minutes of stillness each day, fit a town with that story.
Gardens, falls and quiet places to practice
Liliuokalani Park and Gardens holds about 25 acres of Japanese-style gardens on Hilo Bay, dedicated in 1917 in recognition of Japanese immigrants who worked the island's sugar cane fields. A student in Hilo might sit with a self-study Reiki lesson after a walk there, with the stillness of the gardens still fresh.
Rainbow Falls (Waianuenue) is a roughly 80-foot waterfall within Wailuku River State Park, and Wailoa River State Recreation Area keeps a tsunami memorial and a Vietnam War veterans memorial beside the Wailoa River. The waterfront road lined with banyan trees planted by visiting public figures, among them Babe Ruth and Amelia Earhart, adds another shaded place to pause between lessons.
Curiosity, memory and learning in Hilo
The University of Hawaii at Hilo shapes daily life in town, and the Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii links Mauna Kea astronomy with Hawaiian culture. Its name means to explore or seek new knowledge, which is a fair attitude for anyone starting Reiki: ask questions in the live Zoom class and take the lessons at a steady pace.
The Pacific Tsunami Museum in downtown Hilo documents the tsunamis that struck the town, including the 1946 wave that killed 96 people and the 1960 wave that killed 61. A town that keeps such memories close may value a calm, attentive practice, and ASHA's online courses are offered in that unhurried spirit, with no promises about outcomes.
