Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Missouri
Reiki for the Show Me State, Taught Live on Zoom
Missouri is called the Show Me State, a phrase that appears on its license plates. Popularly it traces to an 1899 speech by Congressman Willard Vandiver that ended with 'you have got to show me.' That spirit suits how we teach. In the live Zoom class, Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, demonstrates each hand position on camera and then asks you to show it back, so nothing rests on simply taking our word for it.
Students in Missouri join from home, wherever they are in a state of 69,704 square miles. The live Zoom class lets you ask questions in real time, practice with classmates and hear feedback as it happens. The self-study courses let you move through the material at your own pace between sessions.
From Kansas City to St. Louis, One Online Class
The Missouri River runs west to east across the middle of the state, effectively linking the Kansas City and St. Louis metropolitan areas, and a Zoom link does something similar for our students. Someone in Kansas City, the largest city, can sit in the same live session as someone in St. Louis, Springfield or Columbia, and no one has to leave the house.
Jefferson City, the capital since 1826, sits between them along that same river. Wherever you log on, the self-study courses give you recordings and written notes to revisit after class, which helps when a busy week pulls you away from practice.
Quiet Practice in the Cave State
Missouri is also known as the Cave State, a name resting on a count of more than 7,300 recorded caves, second only to Tennessee. Caves are places of stillness, and stillness is where a Reiki session begins: settling the breath, softening the shoulders and letting attention rest in the hands.
Our self-study courses include short guided practices you can return to on any evening. Many Missourians like to pair them with the live Zoom class, using the recorded sessions to rehearse the hand positions before the next group meets online.
Rooted in a River Name
The state takes its name from the Missouri River, which was named for the Missouria, a Siouan-speaking people. French colonists adapted an Illinois-language name for them, wimihsoorita, meaning 'one who has dugout canoes.' We like that image of carrying something steady across moving water, and it shapes how we encourage Missouri students to build a small daily practice.
Reiki at ASHA is taught as a gentle, hands-on practice for relaxation and self-care. Whether you live near the Mississippi on the eastern boundary or close to the Kansas and Oklahoma lines in the west, the live Zoom class and the self-study courses are open to you.
