Reiki for the Bay State, Taught Live on Zoom
Massachusetts is called the Bay State because several large bays distinctly shape its coast, and the people who live along those waters and far inland call themselves Bay Staters. ASHA, the Ascension School of Healing Arts in Ferndale, Michigan, brings its Reiki teaching to Massachusetts through the live Zoom class and through self-study courses. A student in Boston, Quincy or New Bedford joins the same lesson as a student in Worcester or Springfield.
Massachusetts holds nearly half of all New Englanders, with 7,154,084 people counted in 2020, and it is the third-most densely populated state after New Jersey and Rhode Island. In a place that full and that busy, a Reiki class that opens on your own screen lets you practice in a quiet corner of your home, whether that home sits in Greater Boston or in a smaller town well beyond the capital.
From Mount Greylock to the Atlantic Coast
Massachusetts is the seventh-smallest state by land area, yet it reaches from Mount Greylock in the Taconic Mountains of the northwest, the high point at 3,489 feet, all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Forests cover about 62 percent of its land and water covers 25.7 percent of its area, so many Massachusetts students already know the value of a still moment among trees or beside the sea.
Reiki asks for that same kind of stillness. In the live Zoom class, students learn hand positions, steady breathing and calm attention, then practice on themselves between sessions. Self-study courses let a Massachusetts learner in Lowell, Cambridge, Brockton or Lynn move through the material at a pace that fits a full week of work and family.
A State That Built Learning Into Its Habits
Horace Mann, as secretary of the state board of education, set up a public school system in Massachusetts that became a national model, and in 1852 the state passed the first compulsory education laws. Higher education is still named as one of the vital sectors of the Massachusetts economy, so it makes sense that Bay Staters often come to a new practice ready to be students first.
Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, keeps that student spirit at the center of every live Zoom class at ASHA. You ask questions as they come up, hear how others in the group are practicing, and leave each session with something clear to try at home before the next one.
Choosing Between Live Zoom and Self-Study in Massachusetts
Some Massachusetts students like the rhythm of a scheduled live Zoom class, with a teacher and classmates present on screen. Others, perhaps working long days in Boston finance or biotechnology offices or teaching at one of the region's universities, prefer self-study courses they can open whenever the evening allows.
Either way, the lessons come from the same Ferndale school, and either way you can begin from wherever you live in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Write to ASHA with your questions about which format suits you, and we will help you find a starting point that fits your schedule and your interest in Reiki.
