What are Linda's qualifications?
In June 2005, in Los Angeles, CA,
Linda L.H.Smith became one of the first Hado Instructors to be certifed in the United States.
On April 8, 2009, Dr. Emoto bestowed upon Linda the very high honor of receiving his research data, telling Linda, her friends and staff, that Linda is now the only Hado Instructor in the world to have this data.
Dr. Emoto acknowledged Linda for her high quality, professional work, and effort, to carry Water's Messages to the world with integrity, brilliance, knowledge and humor.
Linda has been a Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines since April 1982; nearly 30 years of being in service to the general public. She is a Certified Firewalk Instructor and Glass Walker trained and certified at the Firewalk Institute of Research and Education. Linda is a Registered Master Toe Reader (Southwest Institute of Healing Arts) and a Licensed ATP® certified by Dr. Doreen Virtue. Linda has a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Speech Communications with a focus on oral interpretation of literature from the University of Utah (1981).
These skills Linda incorporates into her talks increasing the value for her audiences.
Linda's personal experiences of overcoming intense trials in life and shining, not only on the other side of them, but through them, inspires audiences to turn within and find their own personal strengths.
Where does Linda speak?
Linda welcomes the opportunity to speak to any group, large or small, that is interested in learning more about the sacred wisdom water has to share with us, creating personal and global peace, healing body, mind and spirit, awakening personal power and increasing consciousness on all levels.
Schools, universities, colleges, healing retreats, community gatherings, forums, prisons, jails, rehab facilities, corporations, churches, youth groups, war veterans, battered women's groups, aids patients, fund raising organizations, spiritual centers, bookstores, leadership camps, homeless shelters and schools, grief support groups, marriage encounter retreats are just some of the places Linda speaks.
What does Linda charge?
Every situation is different. Some organizations will charge a fee at the door to cover their venue costs, create a share agreement to raise funds for their group and pay Linda for her time and effort.
Some speaking engagements Linda just accepts a "love offering" from the attendees and organizers.
Linda also does a lot of pro bono work to help groups in crisis.
More good news is, Linda is able to fly for free to most cities in the United States as she is also an airline flight attendant.
Foreign air travel usually has a nominal fee from the airline being flown, but not always.
Linda gives a portion of her earnings to the International Water for Life Foundation to help fund the distribution of free "Messages from Water" books to the children of the world.
What Does Linda Need to Present the Message?
Audience sizes and venues differ and Linda adapts easily to every situation. Because the presentation is very visual Linda requests a power point screen, easy access to electrical source and a power point projector. If you do not have a projector let Linda know so she can bring her own. Some external speakers to plug her laptop into and a microphone if the group is over 50 people.
Linda usually travels with her technical assistant but not always, in which case, someone to run the laptop and deal with any unexpected technical issues is greatly appreciated. This will free Linda to be able to interact more with the audience and not tied to the computer.
Blessing water is usually a part of Linda's presentation. She provides water blessing labels for bottles of water. If each attendee could bring, or be provided, a bottle of water with the label removed that would be ideal.
Linda invites audiences to bring a small jar or bottle of their local water, tap, river, pond, lake, ocean, fountain, etc. This water will be blessed and may be returned to it's source for a healing.
Transportationfrom the airport to the event and back, a place to stay and meals are greatly appreciated.
Linda has no problem staying in someone's home, hotel, cabin or tent. She just asks for a place to sleep and a place to wash up.
Part of Linda's "payment" for her time and effort are the rich experiences of people of the area. She loves and appreciates the adventure of it.
Linda usually eats healthy and organic but is very gracious and enjoys the "experience" of the local hospitality and flavor.
If Linda is in your area for several days between events, she is more than happy to visit schools, homeless shelters, healing or spiritual centers, rehab facilities etc., and give shorter presentations there. Usually those presentations are 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on what the need is for the venue.
It usually takes Linda 20 minutes to set up and about 10-15 minutes to break down afterwards. This is good to know if you are scheduling her to present in multiple places during a day.
Linda usually prefers to not do more than three presentations in a day. That would be a morning, afternoon and evening presentation. Evening presentations she requests a love offering.
It is a real treasure, and a great honor, for Linda, to meet living history makers in your community. She adores the elders, the spiritual leaders, the youth. Nothing lights her heart up more than to meet children with extraordinary gifts.
All people are special to Linda, one reason she has been a flight attendant for over 29 years!
If there's someone in your community that you think Linda would love to meet tell her and she will be more than happy to do everything she can to help create that meeting!
