Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Oaxaca City, Mexico

Reiki classes for Oaxaca de Juárez, live on Zoom

Oaxaca de Juárez, the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Oaxaca, lies in the Central Valleys region in the foothills of the Sierra Madre, at the base of the Cerro del Fortín, and extends to the banks of the Atoyac River. People in Oaxaca City can join Reiki training from the Ascension School of Healing Arts through the live Zoom class or through self-study courses.

ASHA is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and its teacher Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. For anyone in Oaxaca City, every lesson arrives online: the live Zoom class for real-time practice and questions, and self-study courses for working at your own pace from home.

A city of many names, and a practice passed hand to hand

The name Oaxaca comes from the Nahuatl name for the place, Huaxyacac, and in 1872 de Juárez was added to the name in honor of Benito Juárez. The Zapotec name of the city, Ndua, is still used in the Zapotec language, and Oaxaca City is also known as La Verde Antequera.

A city that keeps several names alive understands that tradition travels from person to person. Reiki is taught the same way, from teacher to student, and in the live Zoom class a learner in Oaxaca City practices the hand positions and the steady attention behind them, then continues that practice between sessions.

Quiet practice in a city of festival and flavor

Oaxaca City hosts the Guelaguetza, a month-long cultural festival featuring Oaxacan dance from the seven regions and music. It is also called Mexico's culinary capital, and the most notable aspect of Oaxacan cuisine is its variety of moles, while the area favors mezcal, which like tequila is made from agave.

In a city that full of music and gathering, a self-study course gives you a calm place to return to. Whether your home sits near the church and former monastery of Santo Domingo de Guzmán or on the slopes of the Cerro del Fortín, you can work through a lesson quietly and bring your questions to the next live Zoom class.

Heritage, patient hands and steady attention

The Zapotec and Mixtec peoples had settlements in the Valley of Oaxaca for thousands of years, connected with the ancient centers of Monte Albán and Mitla. In 1987 UNESCO put Oaxaca City on its World Heritage List jointly with the nearby Monte Albán archeological site, and heritage tourism remains an important part of the city's economy.

Nearby communities are known for patient handwork: Santa María Atzompa for green glazed pottery, and San Antonio Arrazola and San Martín Tilcajete for alebrijes, small painted wooden figures. Reiki asks for a similar patience in the hands, and people across Oaxaca City can build that patience through the live Zoom class and ASHA's self-study courses.
