Mississippi is known as the Hospitality State, and that easy, generous welcome is the tone we aim for in every live Zoom class we teach from Ferndale, Michigan. People anywhere in Mississippi can join, whether they are in Jackson, the capital and largest city, or in Gulfport, Southaven, Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Olive Branch, Tupelo, Meridian or Greenville.
The live Zoom class lets you learn Reiki with a real teacher and a small group, asking questions as they come up and practicing along in real time. All you need is a quiet spot, a camera and a steady internet connection, so a person in Mississippi can take part from a kitchen table, a spare bedroom or a back porch.
Almost all of Mississippi lies within the East Gulf Coastal Plain, and even Woodall Mountain, the highest point in the state, reaches only 807 feet. A student in Mississippi might find that this gentle, rolling ground pairs well with Reiki, a practice built on slowing down, settling the breath and paying quiet attention.
The humid subtropical climate of Mississippi means long, warm days for much of the year. A student in Meridian might set up a short self-Reiki session in the cool of early morning, while a student near the Gulf of Mexico coast might save practice for an evening after the heat has eased.
Mississippi calls itself the birthplace of America's music, with gospel, country, jazz, blues and rock and roll each shaped by musicians from the state. Reiki also asks for a kind of listening, and a student in Greenville might notice that the patient attention a good blues player brings to a single note feels close to the attention we practice in class.
In our live Zoom class we spend time on steady breathing, hand positions and simple centering exercises that anyone can learn. A student in Mississippi who grew up around gospel singing or front porch music might find that a familiar sense of rhythm makes it easier to settle into a quiet, focused Reiki session.
Alongside the live Zoom class, ASHA offers self-study courses that you can work through at your own pace. A student in Tupelo might begin with a self-study course to learn the basics, then join a live Zoom class later to practice with a teacher and ask questions face to face on screen.
Mississippi entered the Union on December 10, 1817 as the 20th state, and its motto is Virtute et Armis, meaning by valor and arms. We like to think a little valor belongs in learning something new, too, and our classes are led by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, with a warm, grounded and practical style.
