Mexico is a federal republic of 32 states. It reaches from its border with the United States in the north to Guatemala and Belize in the southeast, with coastlines on the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Wherever you live within it, from Mexico City to a small town in Chiapas, the live Zoom class brings Ascension School of Healing Arts Reiki and energy healing teaching to your screen.
ASHA teacher Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the live Zoom class keeps her lessons personal. You can ask questions, practice with classmates and hear feedback as it happens. All you need is a steady internet connection and a quiet corner where you will not be interrupted for the length of the lesson. If a set class time does not suit you, the self-study courses are always there.
The year in Mexico is marked by big celebrations. The Carnaval de Veracruz and the Carnaval de Mazatlán fill the weeks before Lent in February or March. The Guelaguetza in Oaxaca falls on the last two Mondays of July, and Día de Muertos runs from late October to November 1-2, including the Mexico City Desfile de Día de Muertos.
National holidays in 2026 include Año Nuevo on January 1, Día de la Constitución on February 2, Natalicio de Benito Juárez on March 16, Jueves Santo and Viernes Santo on April 2 and 3, Día del Trabajo on May 1, Día de la Independencia on September 16, Día de la Revolución on November 16 and Navidad on December 25. Self-study courses are a simple way to keep practicing through those busy weeks, and you can return to a live Zoom class when your schedule settles.
Human presence in Mexico dates back to at least 11,500 BC. Mesoamerica, considered a cradle of civilization, was home to the Olmecs, the Maya, the Zapotecs, the Teotihuacan civilization and the Purépecha. If you have stood beside the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, or among the Maya ruins of Chichen Itza or Palenque, you may already know the kind of quiet, unhurried attention a Reiki session asks for.
Mexico is one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, and each year millions of monarch butterflies arrive at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve on the border of Michoacán and the State of Mexico. Some learners like to practice self-Reiki beside a window, a balcony plant or a garden, and a country this rich in living things offers plenty of calm, natural settings to sit with during a lesson.
Spanish is the de facto national language of Mexico, which makes it the world's most populous Spanish-speaking country, and Spanish has legal equality with the country's 68 indigenous languages. Before you enroll, write to ASHA and ask which language each live Zoom class and self-study course is taught in, so you can choose the format that suits you best.
Self-study courses let you replay lessons, pause to practice hand positions and move ahead when you feel ready. That flexibility helps if you work long days in a capital as large as Mexico City or look after family at home. The live Zoom class adds a group to practice with and a teacher who can answer your questions in real time, so many students in Mexico choose to combine both.
