Pine Bluff, Arkansas has been known as the City of Murals since Murals on Main, a downtown mural project, launched in 1992. A city that paints its history across its own walls knows that steady, patient work adds up over time, and that is a good way to think about learning Reiki. The Ascension School of Healing Arts brings Reiki and energy healing classes to Pine Bluff through the live Zoom class and self-study courses, so you can learn from home.
ASHA is based in Ferndale, Michigan, and our lead teacher Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999. People in Pine Bluff can join the live Zoom class, ask questions as they come up, and practice hand positions together with a small group on screen. If a set schedule is hard to keep, the self-study courses let you move through each lesson whenever your week allows.
Pine Bluff was settled in 1819 as a trading post by Joseph Bonne, an interpreter who built a log cabin above the Arkansas River after a great flood. The county court officially named it the town of Pine Bluff on October 16, 1832, for the pine forest on the bluff. A place that started with one cabin and grew one trade at a time is a fitting home for a practice that also grows in small, regular steps.
A student in Pine Bluff might begin with a self-study course, reading and practicing a little each evening, then join the live Zoom class when ready to share questions with a teacher. Others may prefer to start live and use the self-study material for review. Both paths cover the same grounded basics: settling the breath, placing the hands, and making Reiki a calm part of daily life.
Pine Bluff carries a deep delta blues and jazz heritage, with historic venues like the Rainbow Club and the Masonic Temple, and blues legend Big Bill Broonzy is among its native sons. The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, a historically black university that grew out of Branch Normal College, founded in 1873, is home to the Marching Musical Machine of the Mid-South, the band that played the 2009 presidential inaugural parade.
Reiki practice has its own rhythm, slower and quieter than a marching band but just as reliant on practice and attention. A student in Pine Bluff might fit a short self-study lesson between college classes or after a long workday, then bring questions to the live Zoom class. The aim is simple: a steady routine you can return to, wherever you sit down to practice.
Pine Bluff hosts 30 to 35 bass tournaments a year, earning the title Bass Capital of the World, and anyone who fishes knows the value of waiting quietly and paying attention. The city also built Cotton Belt locomotive 819, the last steam engine built in Arkansas, in its own shops in 1942, and that engine now lives at the Arkansas Railroad Museum. Both stories speak to patience and careful, hands-on skill.
Those same qualities serve a new Reiki student well. A student in Pine Bluff might practice a few minutes of self-Reiki at dawn before heading out on the water, or settle in for the live Zoom class at the end of the day. ASHA keeps the teaching warm and practical, so you always know what to practice next and why.
