Nā, e kore e taea te whakamate i tō tinana kia ngaro ai tō wairua (Wh4 2004:224). Ka haere mai ngā karakia a te tohunga mākutu i a koe e hāngai ana ki a koe kei te huna kē te awe o tō wairua. I reira kua noho mai taua mea rā hei awe mō tō wairua, arā, ka hunaia e koe ki tētahi wāhi. Nā reira, ka noho tonu te wairua e kōrero ake nei koe tō wairua i roto i a koe, engari, ka tīkina e koe tētahi mea pēnei i te matimati nei, i te makawe nei, i te kōhatu nei, i te rau rākau, i te peka rākau, he aha rānei, kātahi ka haria ki te tohunga kia karakiahia e te tohunga. Ko te awe he rite anō ki te wairua, engari, koirā te tino o tō wairua. During kawe mate, or hari mate, hura kōhatu and other important occasions the wairua is summoned to return to the marae. Wairua of the dead that linger on earth are called kēhua. The spirit travels to Te Reinga where it descends to Te Pō. Eventually the wairua departs to join other wairua in Te Pō, the world of the departed spirits, or to Hawaiki, the ancestral homeland. It is believed to remain with or near the body and speeches are addressed to the person and the wairua of that person encouraging it on its way to Te Pō. The wairua has the power to warn the individual of impending danger through visions and dreams. During life, the wairua may leave the body for brief periods during dreams. Tohunga, the agents of the atua, are able to activate or instil a wairua into something, such as a new wharenui, through karakia. Some believe that atua Māori, or Io-matua-kore, can instill wairua into something. Some believe that all animate and inanimate things have a whakapapa and a wairua. The wairua of a miscarriage or abortion can become a type of guardian for the family or may be used by tohunga for less beneficial purposes. Tohunga can damage wairua and also protect the wairua against harm. While alive a person's wairua can be affected by mākutu through karakia. The wairua begins its existence when the eyes form in the foetus and is immortal. To some, the wairua resides in the heart or mind of someone while others believe it is part of the whole person and is not located at any particular part of the body. It is the non-physical spirit, distinct from the body and the mauri. Spirit, soul - spirit of a person which exists beyond death.
