The following text & photos by Ayako.

My trip to Europe for almost 2 months was sponsored by a money pot funds called "Koha Aroha", that was the brainchild of Shaman Wai .
 
The purpose of this fund is to assist someone like me, to bring me to the other part of the world, and to be exposed to the shamanic cultures and experiences there. Throughout the whole journey, we were at different workshops and seminar houses in different locations and I was always learn something new from each workshop.

One of the nights when we had a presentation at a doctor's clinic held by the Shamanism and Healing Association in Munich, Shaman Wai introduced me to the crowd present. She told them that I've been walking in the footsteps of a shaman and have been training under her and Pa Dave in New Zealand. And each year, I will travel to New Zealand to learn more, and to serve.

An interesting thing that Shaman Wai likes to do to me is to surprise me with her request of having me do an intuitive drawing or reading on the spot for the people that she picks from the crowds. While she's giving others readings, I will be sitting in a corner doing the drawing for another person as well. And when I am ready, she will pass the time over to me and I'll explain to the person what his/her drawings is about.

People noted that the intuitive readings/drawings I gave are always spot on. And all who received readings acknowledged and affirmed the facts: how true the reading is for them. Some were even surprised how accurate and true the readings were! :)

Another happy news is that the paintings that I've brought over to Europe have all been sold! They were purchased by different people at different workshops and seminars. I've managed to do 4 pieces of commission paintings for clients as well .

 
Two paintings were done, each for a teenager, to help them discover their soul's journey and to aid them in their experiences in life. One was painted to bring angels into their home and to connect them to the angelic realms. The other was a painting with the energies of grandfather sun and grandmother moon along with the nature spirits and the energies of the lemurian crystals from the mineral kingdoms.

I also worked in a floral shop in Munich doing intuitive drawings for people too on my free day and didn't stopped from morning till 7pm at night.
 
To me, the happiest experience was when people in Europe can all feel and see the energies of each painting, without needing much explanations. They all knew and understood the painting they received.

Another incident was during our stay in Barcelona. One night, all of the spirits from the old old past came looking for me during the night time in our apartments in Sitges. I ended up sending all the souls into the light, all through the whole night without sleeping. That was an amazing lesson and experience for me as I feel so humbled that I was able to do something for them .

The trees and the nature spirits knew me when I first arrived in Europe as they have heard from the "cousins" trees and elves/faeries from NZ that I would be going to Europe. So that was a big surprise to me and when I greeted the nature spirits and families there, I was really emotional.

I am ever grateful to have the opportunity to go to Europe and learn as well as to be exposed to the different cultures there. So thank you again to my teacher: Shaman Wai and to my guidance angels, guides, elves and faeries and my totem animals for making this come true !
 
I thank YOu ! ^__^
