Michigan is the only state assembled from two peninsulas, and its two halves have been joined since 1957 by the five-mile Mackinac Bridge across the Straits of Mackinac. ASHA's live Zoom class joins them in a quieter way. A student near Lake Superior and a student in Metro Detroit can sit in the same live Zoom class, watch the same demonstrations and ask questions as they come up.
The Ascension School of Healing Arts is based in Ferndale and teaches Reiki and energy practice to students across the Great Lakes State. If a live schedule does not suit you, our self-study courses let you work through the material at your own pace, whether you are at a kitchen table in Sault Ste. Marie or a desk in Grand Rapids.
One of Michigan's listed nicknames is Water Winter Wonderland, and anyone who has lived through a Michigan January knows why. When snow settles over the yard and the evenings come early, the live Zoom class lets your Reiki practice keep going from your own warm room, with your own blanket and your own cup of Vernors if you like.
With roughly 64,980 inland lakes and ponds and 3,288 miles of freshwater shoreline, many Michiganders already know the value of a quiet morning by the water. Reiki practice asks for a similar kind of attention: slow breathing, steady hands and a settled mind. Our classes give that attention a clear, practical structure you can return to every day.
In the live Zoom class, an ASHA instructor walks you through each step, from hand positions to self-practice, and gives you room to try things and ask questions. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and her style is warm and down to earth. You learn alongside other students from around the state, which makes the group feel like a small Michigan community of its own.
Self-study courses are built for people whose days do not follow a neat pattern, from early dairy mornings in a state where milk is the single largest farm product to late shifts in the auto industry around Metro Detroit. You choose when to open a lesson, how long to stay with it and when to come back for review.
Michigan's state motto reads, if you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you. Reiki practice carries a similar invitation: notice where you are, notice how you feel, and give that moment your full attention. Whether you live among the cherry orchards around Traverse City, near the cereal plants of Battle Creek or in the shadow of the Big House in Ann Arbor, that kind of noticing is available to you.
Getting started is simple. Decide whether the live Zoom class or a self-study course fits your week better, then reach out to ASHA with any questions. We will help you find the right starting point so your Reiki practice can grow at a pace that feels steady and sustainable for your life in Michigan.
