Reiki for the Evergreen State, by Zoom
Washington carries a nickname that was never made official. Charles T. Conover of Seattle proposed "the Evergreen State" in 1890 for the evergreen forests and the rain that keeps shrub and grass green year round. ASHA meets Washingtonians in that same steady, green spirit, through the live Zoom class and self-study courses taught from Ferndale, Michigan.
The Washington state motto is Alki, a Chinook Jargon word meaning "by and by," and it suits the way Reiki tends to settle in over time. Students in Washington can learn at a patient pace, joining the live Zoom class when it fits their week and returning to self-study lessons by and by as the practice deepens.
From Puget Sound to the Eastern Basin
The Cascade Range bisects Washington north to south, with temperate rainforest and mountains in the west and a semi-arid basin given over to intensive agriculture in the east. Whichever side of the Cascades a student calls home, the live Zoom class arrives the same way, on a laptop at the kitchen table.
Most Washingtonians live in the metropolitan area around Seattle on Puget Sound, an inlet of glacier-carved islands, fjords and bays, while Olympia is the capital and many others live farther out across the state. A screen keeps a student in Olympia, Seattle or a small eastern farming community in the same live Zoom class, asking questions and practicing together.
How the Live Zoom Class Works
Each live Zoom class is taught in real time by ASHA teachers, including Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999. Students from Washington see and hear the teacher, follow along with hand positions, and share what they notice during practice with classmates from other places.
Self-study courses sit alongside the live sessions for anyone who prefers to read, watch and practice alone first. Many Washington students mix both, starting a self-study course on a rainy Puget Sound evening and bringing their questions to the next live Zoom class.
A Practice Rooted in Calm Attention
Mount Rainier, an active stratovolcano, is the high point of Washington and the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States. Reiki asks for a quieter kind of height: steady breathing, relaxed hands and calm attention, which students can carry into daily life anywhere in the 42nd state.
Reiki at ASHA is taught as a gentle practice of relaxation and attention, offered with warmth and plain, practical guidance. Washington students are welcome to begin with a self-study course, join the live Zoom class, or do both, and move along at a pace that feels right.
