My Ocean of Gratitude 2008 Adventure by Hado Instructor, Eveline Maria Smith
Ocean of Gratitude Cruise 2008 was filled with many wonderful AHA moments! And my husband, Wayne and I enjoyed each and every moment embracing all aspects of life. Dr. Emoto's influence and presence was felt throughout the eight day Western Caribbean journey as every presenter, their presentation with each participant resonates with good Hado vibrations of love and gratitude.
"There is a sacred calling within you, beyond time and space, forever hounding you to be more. Yield to it. To be in a league with the infinite is to be a benediction wherever you go."- Michael Bernard Beckwith
Time with Michael and Rickie Beckwith was beyond awesome! From Michael's Spiritual insights to Rickie's Soul songs the experiences were transformational, inspirational, unconditional love, joy and light. The Rickie Byers Beckwith Soul of Gratitude Concert was hip hopping fun! We had a blast! And I feel infinite love and gratitude for having had some personal time to visit with Michael and share from my heart about synchronicity, the spiritual awakening experience, Soul Art Collage, Family ∞ Love poster's healing message of interconnectedness that enables a community for healing ourselves, our environment and our Earth. www.agapelive.com
"Consciousness empowers us to experience the oneness in everything and everyone."-Dr. Darren Weissman
Dr. Darren Weissman's presentations were filled with many of those AHA moments. As one of Dr. Emoto's Hado Instructors I naturally wanted to experience Darren's "LifeLine Technique™" a revolutionary healing technique that Louise L. Hay calls "the wave of the future." It is an extraordinary, advanced holistic system of energy medicine that interprets and harmonizes the root cause of symptoms-emotions trapped within the subconscious mind. It fuses thousands of years of proven natural healing practices, including acupuncture (without the needles) and Ayurvedic medicine, with modern day therapeutic modalities and philosophies to create a revolutionary treatment system that is transforming our understanding of health and healing. During The LifeLine Technique™ treatment, all pain, fear, and stress are both interpreted and released from wherever the symptoms are energetically being held in the body in a completely safe and non-invasive way. My LifeLine Technique™ treatment took place on the upper deck of Liberty Carnival ship in the energy and light of the full moon… my experience was both memorable and self-empowering. A "WOW" AHA moment! Now often throughout the day in my thought I chant, "Infinite love and gratitude, infinite love and gratitude, infinite love and gratitude." www.infiniteloveandgratitude.com
"He (Dr. Darren Weissman) will raise and awaken consciousness, and open the minds of others"-Dr. Masaru Emoto
Dr. Darren Weissman, developer of the LifeLine Technique™, contributing author to Dr. Emoto's book, The Healing Power of Water, and author of The Power of Infinite Love & Gratitude presented 'The Work of Dr. Masaru Emoto!' "The healing power of water has been known for centuries. The pioneering work of Dr. Masaru Emoto revolutionized our understanding of water's healing power by making the hidden properties of water "Visible." His water crystal images are the window through which we can see the interconnection between ourselves and our environment. Demonstrating to us how understanding our link to water empowers us to embrace life with the attitude of gratitude."
Several audience members shared from the heart a personal empowering life experience with love and gratitude that spoke (I feel) to each and everyone in the Stage Room. Dr. Darren Weissman's presentation of 'The Work of Dr. Masaru Emoto' closed with a standing ovation as I feel his good Hado vibration was felt by all! Often throughout the week at sea participants would approach me to ask about Hado and inquire about Dr. Emoto's well being and expressed wishing Dr. Emoto was on the cruise with us! www.hado.net
In Cozumel Wayne and I enjoyed an opportunity to walk on the uneven ground that meandered among the towering Mayan ruins of Tulum, "The City of Dawn" erected on the cliffs that overlook the beautiful transparent waters of the Caribbean Sea. I'm reminded of a favorite time of day "Dawn the Beginning" I love to relax on my sofa early morning as I sip my tea, I listen to the song birds awaken and together we watch the sunrise.
Dawn the Beginning
Dawn is the beginning of the day
To do the best we can
We will never have this moment
Or be given this opportunity again
Dawn is the beginning of the day
To reflect the image we want to portray
The rest of my life will be molded
By the action I take today
In life's Chronicles is my record
What will I think of me?
Poem by Eveline Maria Smith © 1991
In Limon, Costa Rica we experienced a taste of the tropics on the river highway leading to Nicaragua; observing Howler monkeys, Sloth, cranes and more… in their natural habitat. Prior to climbing on board the 100-year-old train in route to the banana plantation we enjoyed a snack of locally grown coconut, pineapple and banana. As the train pulled to a stop little children greeted us offering up hibiscus and orchid blossoms with hope of some small token in gratitude. This reminded me of an early childhood experience in post war Germany at about age 5; I would run with the older children to greet the US Army caravans. The soldiers tossed chocolate bars and chewing gum rations as they drove by. Some cheered as we ran alongside with hope of catching some small token in gratitude.
In Panama we traveled by bus to Panama City with Christine Stevens www.ubdrumcircles.com to participate in drumming with the local Panama people and musicians. Drumming under the bridge of Americas was a very powerful experience in awakening the rhythm and song within as we all have the gift of music, the universal language, within our soul. Author and music therapist Christine Stevens resonates and shines with gratitude through the drum, chant, and sound vibration. I was reminded of the interconnectedness with each other and everything. Afterward we all joined together family style and enjoyed a wonderful homemade lunch of the local area's traditional foods. This by far was Wayne's and my favorite meal. I wondered if those preparing this awesome meal had listened to Shawn Galloway's song, "I Choose Love" as we could taste the camaraderie, love and friendship that went into creating it with every bite. www.shawngallaway.com
The highlight for me was the opportunity to present my Soul Art Collage Workshop! I send oceans of infinite love and gratitude to Karol Avalon. Ocean of Gratitude provides infinite possibilities to discover, share and shine in body, mind and spirit with the attitude of gratitude. www.oceanofgratitudecruise.com Both the Tapestry and Persian rooms provided an awesome environment to present my Soul Art Collage Workshop and share from the heart healing music that inspires and the subtle ways Good Hado flows in all areas of life! Participants let me know they enjoyed their experience! "Soul Art Collage is a fun, relaxing way to create with intention and incorporate all the wonderful knowledge gained throughout the week; and provides a lovely keepsake to bring home a reminder to focus positive in every area of life living infinite love and gratitude." www.soulartgallery.com
Photographer Jane Young www.joy-tothe-world.com has created lovely musical movies to highlight my travels and Soul Art Collage workshops. For the Ocean of Gratitude 2008 movie I chose Shawn Galloway's song "When I Let Go" from his I Choose Love album. The lyrics spoke to me, to my heart as the Raven is one of my totems. "Raven is the bringer of light to the people. Just as Raven brought the stars, the moon, and the sun to us all; let Raven bring you to your own light and fly free into the magic of creation."
