This, what I hope will be, the first of many publishings of yours, is a profound statement in what a spiritual journey is, providing a public view of a very private transcendence. Each person in this world suffers upon them a wayfaring path of discovery. It is a deeply personal, intimidating, test of moral and mental and spiritual endurance that no matter the outcome, provides its own semblance of jubilation at many points along the way. 'Mana Wairua' is the tip of the iceberg in an attempt for you to convey to all, a grueling road of life lessons and spiritual discovery inside a world predominantly concerned about a price tag and material success. Passionate, endearing, and tantamount are the pages in the time of your life that you shared. Relatable. A very personal piece of my heart is here too, something I wasn't able to quite verbalize from my perspective, but one that gives me a happy pause considering it from yours. I thoroughly enjoyed the images conjured by your work, no matter the tears they brought with them. This is what I have always found to epitomize the worth of a true author. Not to stir my emotions, but to be stirred to yours with my own. Amazing. Cannot wait for the next.

Received my copy today and am absolutely loving it. 

Pure emotion; raw; from the heart and soul. 
Your words paint a vivid picture in the mind and make you feel like you are a part of the image you have painted with words.
Thank you so much for sharing your life journey with us Kitrina Aroha Aubrey xxx

Hi Kitrina Aroha Aubrey I hope its alright to post comments here. My 10yr old daughter and I have been reading your book..oh my dear you have touched my heart and soul in so many ways..my daughter is learning about poetry she has an affinity for writing I gave her you book..and shes inspired. She Loves that your Ngapuhi too. But what I found most profounding was the excerpt on the back cover. It has been my conviction and that of a few of my healing friends the truth of your words regarding the misdiagnosis of our rangatahi and other whanau who are spoiled by the medication and clinical treatment in Mental Health that is blocking their gifts. We sometimes find ourselves at a.loss to help them. The healers I know in their late fifties to -60's lived their early lives with rejection and otricised from whanau and society. They turned to drugs or alcohol which of course was their way of trying to block their gifts and avoid the voices to please their whanaus or doctors they just gave in. Now they know better they to can awhi their whanau & others who show the same gifts. We strongly feel this is whats needed to endeavor to to support our identified whanau from being misdiagnosed. Such a long humiliating and frustrating journey it can be.so thankyou for putting this gift out there, I hope it will reach the hands that need it..I will certainly be showing your book where I can. Who knows who it will help..the wairua know before we do of the greater plans for the things we feel compelled to do in our lives. Thank you Kitrina .

Kat I have just read your book of beautiful inspirational poetry, your deep spiritual beliefs, your ability to to look inward and appreciate the world around you. You see nature as it is intended, something to be appreciated. I hope others along with myself can draw inspiration, peace and a stillness from the words, to take time out of our busy lives to take in the beautiful words that can only come from deep within. The tribute to your mother your family and Justin is heartwarming. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs some spiritual guidance, or e ven some alone time, hold your hands out to receive and just be still .Thank you kat and god bless xxxx
