We recognize the importance of having members of our community awaken to new levels of consciousness. It is our desire to remove economic barriers that may be discouraging people from participating in events and receiving services that are designed to raise consciousness. We are confident that those less affected by economic conditions will donate the full value, or more, for experiencing our events and services. Those who have the means to contribute more will be helping their friends and neighbors who are striving to increase their well-being and elevate their awareness, which in turn benefits the community as a whole.

For the last 15 years we have been passionate about helping others to awaken to new levels of consciousness. We have been serving Durango and the surrounding area for the last five years. Before we arrived in the Four Corners area, we served our community in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Not only did we have a healing practice, but we also owned a metaphysical store and event center. We understand the magnitude of the shift that is upon us, and the need for people to heighten their awareness. We know that part of this shift, as we approach 2012, is the reordering of priorities, so that Spirituality and inner knowing become our primary focus.

As this happens it is unlikely that our economy will remain in its current form. We have always strived to operate in a model of cooperation rather than competition, knowing that ultimately cooperation would be a cornerstone of the new era we are entering. It makes sense to us that as we shift into a paradigm that recognizes the connectedness of all things, humanity will naturally be more cooperative than competitive. There is evidence that unprecedented numbers of people are awakening and changing their opinions about what really matters in life. The superficiality of what has been culturally acceptable in terms of education, work, traditional marriage, etc is being exposed. We are beginning to see the ways in which we have limited ourselves, and many are ready to explore the infinite potential of our reality as spiritual beings having a human experience.

A constant question we pose to Spirit in meditation is, “How can we be of service?” The answers we receive are reflected in all of our events and services. The decision to move to a donation-based model came from our work with the Angel Board and was confirmed in meditation. None of us really know exactly how this Great Shift will unfold. We do know that the market economy that currently fuels rampant consumerism and this viral, destructive form of capitalism is unsustainable. We feel that within this shift, there is incredible potential for increased humanitarianism and developing a sustainable economy where all needs of the global community are met.

Even though we still operate within the confines of a market economy, by offering our events and services for a donation, we are taking a step toward co-creating the new paradigm. Will you join us on this journey?

Namaste.
Laurie & Lisa

Here is our latest newletter as well ~ H2O Upcoming Events from September 4th-12th http://conta.cc/d8Ttkw via #constantcontact

I consider sharing my Reiki practice part of my responsibility as a Lightworker.  In a recent meditation the Ascended Master Lord Lanto showed me a modern definition of what it means to be a Lightworker.  He showed me the image of one car following another; and the car that was in front had a GPS.  He explained to me that being a Lightworker was less about having ALL the answers and more about being able to help people through these changes by sharing the skills that have the potential to create lasting shifts in consciousness.  It’s not really about the number of tools you have, but how you put them to use in your daily life.  Having the gift of being able to share and teach Reiki is my way of offering people their own personal GPS. 

 Reiki is one of those skills that certainly has the potential to create positive, lasting changes.  In these times of rapidly shifting frequencies, learning and practicing Reiki can be beneficial in a number of ways.  This hands-on healing method is a way to raise your vibrational frequency, help you cope with physical challenges, increase mental clarity, release stagnant emotions and enhance your experience of feeling connected to all life.  The deeper you go into the practice of Reiki,  more and more gifts are revealed.  Reiki is a simple, yet powerful tool that can be used for healing on many levels.  The practice of Reiki is uncomplicated, effortless and yet produces profound results. 

Reiki is often translated to mean ‘universal life force’.  The advantage of inviting Reiki into your life, through receiving treatments or becoming a practitioner, is the ability to make a sustained connection to the energy that is the Source of All Life.  The path of Reiki is a segue to practicing the magic of BE-ING; walking the razor’s edge and waking up to the importance of being present.  It is true that we are all eternally connected to the Source of All Life, for this is the very essence of our existence.  While the appearance of what seems to be happening in our lives may make us doubt this truth, the practice of Reiki has the power to unveil this truth and make it the primary focus of our lives.  The more you practice Reiki or receive treatments, the more opportunities become available for awakening and raising your vibrational frequency.  Reiki is by no means the only way of accomplishing this; but it only takes one door, one “narrow gate” to enter into this truth.

If you would like to experience a Reiki treatment, please contact Laurie Gambacorta at H2O Holistic Health Options 970-375-7794.  If you are interested in becoming a Reiki practitioner,  Level I Reiki classes will be offered by Laurie at Pathways on January 23rd and February 6th for an investment of $125.00.  The class meets from 10:00am to 5:00pm with a break for lunch.  Classes will be offered on an ongoing basis, for more information please visit our workshop & events page: http://www.holistichealthoptions.biz/workshops_events.html
