Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Nevada
Reiki in the Silver State, by Live Zoom
The name Nevada means snowy in Spanish. It was borrowed from the Sierra Nevada, and it now belongs to the driest state in the country. That gap between a name and a place is a good starting point for a Reiki student, because the practice asks you to notice what is actually present rather than what you expected. ASHA, the Ascension School of Healing Arts, brings its Reiki and energy healing classes to Nevada through the live Zoom class and a set of self-study courses.
Nevada covers 110,577 square miles, seventh in extent among the states, and nearly three quarters of Nevadans live in Clark County around Las Vegas. Someone might be in the Las Vegas Valley, in Reno, in the capital at Carson City or on a ranch in the Great Basin. Wherever they are, the live Zoom class reaches them the same way: a screen, a quiet corner and Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999.
Saying Nevada the Way Nevadans Do
Nevadans say the middle syllable of the state's name with the vowel of apple, while outsiders often use the vowel of palm. ASHA aims to say it the local way. That small courtesy reflects how every class is approached: listen first, then speak, and meet each learner where they are.
The state carries several nicknames. It is the Silver State, the Battle Born State for its admission during the Civil War, the Sagebrush State for the native plant, and the Sage-hen State. Sagebrush thrives in dry, open ground, and a student in Nevada might find it a fitting image for steady, patient Reiki practice done a little at a time from home.
Self-Study Courses for a Wide, Open State
Almost all of Nevada lies in the Basin and Range province. North-south ranges run across it with closed valleys between them, the Great Basin covers the north and the Mojave Desert covers the southern third. Across ground that varied, self-study courses let each learner set their own pace and return to a lesson whenever the day allows.
A student in Nevada might combine both formats. The live Zoom class is the place for questions and group practice, and the self-study courses are there for reviewing hand positions and quiet sitting between sessions. Nevada receives among the highest solar irradiance of any state, so a student there might choose a bright morning by a window as a regular time for practice.
Battle Born, and Still Learning
Statehood came on October 31, 1864, when Nevada became the 36th state. Its constitution was telegraphed in full to Washington because attempts to send it by overland mail and by sea had failed. The state motto is All For Our Country, and that spirit of showing up together carries into the live Zoom class, where people from many places share one session.
People across Nevada can join ASHA's live Zoom classes or begin a self-study course whenever they are ready. From Carson City to Las Vegas and Reno, the welcome is the same: bring your curiosity and practice Reiki at a pace that suits your life.
