North Carolina stretches from the Appalachian Mountains through the Piedmont to the Atlantic coastal plain, and across its 100 counties that is a lot of ground for anyone hoping to study Reiki with a steady teacher. The Ascension School of Healing Arts brings the live Zoom class to you. A student near Mount Mitchell and a student along the coast can sit in the same session and ask questions in real time.
Each live Zoom class is taught as it happens, with room to practice, pause and talk through what you notice. North Carolina runs on the Eastern time zone, so check each class listing for its start time, set up a quiet corner at home, and join from wherever you are in the state.
The North Carolina state motto is Esse quam videri, "to be, rather than to seem." We like that line as a description of steady Reiki practice. It is less about looking calm and more about showing up for the work itself: hand positions, breath and attention, day after day, in a way that feels honest to you.
Our teaching stays warm and practical. Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, and the ASHA team keep lessons grounded in clear steps you can repeat on your own. That holds whether you live in Raleigh, the state capital, in Charlotte, its most populous city, or in a quiet town far from either one.
Not every week leaves room for a live session. Our self-study courses let you learn at your own pace, returning to a lesson as often as you like and practicing between work, family and everything else on your plate. They suit early risers, night owls and anyone who likes to take notes slowly and review.
Many students pair the two formats. Some begin with a self-study course, then join the live Zoom class to practice alongside others and hear feedback. Others start live and use the courses for review. Either route works from anywhere in the Tarheel State, from homes near Research Triangle Park to the mountain counties of the west.
The state's unofficial slogan, "First in flight, first in freedom," points back to the Wright brothers' 1903 flight. Your own first step with us is simpler. Choose a live Zoom class or a self-study course, sign up online, and make sure you have a reliable internet connection, a camera if you want one, and a comfortable place to sit.
You need no prior experience to begin. Bring curiosity, a notebook and a willingness to practice. If you are unsure which class suits you, reach out to the ASHA team with your questions and we will gladly help you pick a starting point that fits your week and your interests.
