Montana is the fourth largest state at 147,040 square miles, and it has only about 1,144,694 people. Towns sit far apart, and a weekly class that needs a long trip is hard to keep up. That is why ASHA teaches Montana by Zoom. Someone in Helena, Billings or a ranch town on the Hi Line can join the same live Reiki class without leaving home.
The live Zoom class runs with a teacher and a small group on screen, so you can ask questions and hear how others are doing with the practice. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and the classes stay unhurried and practical. You need a quiet room, a chair and a steady connection, nothing more.
Montana is the third least densely populated state, and internet service can vary a lot between a valley town and open prairie. Our self-study courses suit that. You can work through the lessons at your own pace, pause when the weather or the work day gets in the way, and pick the practice back up when you are ready.
A student in Montana might pair the two formats. Self-study courses can give a steady base of reading and home practice, and a live Zoom class adds the chance to ask a teacher about what you noticed. Neither one asks you to be anywhere but where you already are.
Montana goes by Big Sky Country and the Treasure State, and the first name fits a quiet practice well. Reiki is a gentle, hands-on way of working with energy, and it begins with slowing down and paying attention. A student in Montana might practice at dawn before ranch chores, or in the evening after a long day outdoors.
The name itself comes from the Spanish word for mountain, and the state still has a hundred or more named ranges. A mountain town can feel remote, yet a Zoom class puts you in a room with other learners. You bring your own corner of the state to the screen, and the class supplies the shared time.
The Continental Divide splits the state. West of it are the northern Rocky Mountains, and east of it roughly 60 percent of the state is prairie belonging to the northern Great Plains. Helena is the capital and Billings is the most populous city, but a Montana student can be far from either. Online classes treat the whole state as one place.
Montana became the 41st state on November 8, 1889, and its people have long made their own way across big distances. Learning Reiki online fits that habit. Start with a live Zoom class or a self-study course, and write to ASHA with questions about which one suits your schedule and your goals.
