Virginia runs from the Atlantic coast west to the Appalachian mountains, and the Ascension School of Healing Arts meets students anywhere along that stretch through the live Zoom class, entirely online. Whether you live near Richmond, the capital on the western edge of the Tidewater, or out toward the mountains, you join the same group, see the same demonstrations and ask your questions in real time.
ASHA is a Reiki school with a warm, practical approach. Classes welcome beginners and returning students alike, and Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, keeps the pace steady so each idea has time to settle before the next step.
More than a third of Virginians live in Northern Virginia, part of the Washington metropolitan area, where Fairfax County is the most populous jurisdiction. Down in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Norfolk are large independent cities in their own right. Full schedules are common in both places, which is one reason students from Virginia choose a format they can join from home.
All you need for the live Zoom class is a steady connection, a device with a camera, and a quiet corner where you can sit comfortably. Students across the Commonwealth log in from living rooms, spare bedrooms and back porches, and the group still feels like a group.
Not every week has room for a scheduled class. ASHA's self-study courses let you work through Reiki material when it suits you, whether that is an early morning before work or a quiet evening after the house settles down.
Many students pair the two. They begin with self-study to learn the vocabulary and basic ideas, then join the live Zoom class to practice with others and ask questions. Others do the reverse, using the courses to review what they covered with the group.
Virginia carries a sense of long memory. Its General Assembly dates to July 1619 and is described as the oldest extant law-making body in North America, and the state has long been called the Mother of Presidents and the Mother of States. Reiki students here often bring that same respect for tradition to their own practice.
At ASHA, tradition and practicality go together. Lessons explain the reason behind each hand position and step, then give you time to try it yourself. If you are in Virginia and curious about Reiki, the live Zoom class and the self-study courses are both simple ways to begin.
Self-Study Courses Reiki Certification
Yes. Classes are held as the live Zoom class, so students from Richmond, Virginia Beach, Northern Virginia and the rest of the state join the same session from home.
A reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet, comfortable place to sit.
Either works. Some students like to learn the basics through self-study first, while others prefer to start with the group and use the courses for review.
