Books with Spirit - Horse Riding

Well, New Zealand certainly put out the Kia Ora for me!  (That’s welcome for those like me who didn’t know that!)

A whole bunch of stuff combined to make this New Zealand trip one that I will remember for the rest of my life.  From the amazing bunch of people in the clinic to the outcomes they got and how they went about those outcomes, to my fabulous hosts Cheryl McCullagh and her Mum Sue, to Mrs Heenan who baked yummy goodies for us to eat every day to the delightful customer in the bank (Jimmy) who on overhearing that this was my first trip to New Zealand said “Welcome to New Zealand!” in the warmest tone imaginable and just made my day, to an amazing spiritual experience with the beautiful Maori healer Tiriana at Wainuiomata, to an awesome continuation of that experience with my friends in Otaki, Rob Green and his Mum Sue, to a communication experience with a wild seal at Kaikoura where I proved to myself beyond doubt that I can understand the wild animals too and they can understand me. Whew!  That was a big sentence covering a wide range of stuff!

For those of you who are just busting to hear about how I got on with my whale experience, I was too nauseous to connect with the three whales that we saw that day - bugger!  I did re-connect with one of them later that day, but because I couldn’t see him, I didn’t get the physical validation of two way communication that I had been hoping for.  Next time I talk to a whale it will be from something a lot more stable that a wildly pitching small boat in the middle of the open ocean!!  But the experience with the wild seal more than made up for it.
