On October 6, 2009, my 20-year-old son Erik, took his own life. Since that sad and tragic day, an overwhelming sense of grief and despair propelled me into a search for answers. Answers that would provide me and others with comfort and hope. Some of those answers came from the many books I bought, but many came from an unexpected source: Erik himself. Read more.

Best of Erik: The Spiritual Side of Disease

Just for a change up, here’s an old one that will give you a taste of different mediums. This is Erik channeled through Jeannie Barnes. She’s mostly an angelic channeler, not a medium, but she’s very good. I remember when she introduced me to my personal guardian angel I just sobbed. It’s like I knew her....

Self-Sabotage, Part One

I can’t lie. Yesterday was not easy. Yet another birthday without my son. These dates, his birthday and death anniversary, really never seem to get easier. There’s still so much sadness in my heart as I light the candles he’ll never blow out and sing that song that he’ll only hear from that invisible realm he’s in. I...

Loss of Libido

Just a heads up. As I mentioned earlier, I won’t be able to answer any of the comments until after things calm down with the whole book thing. I know some of you have addressed me personally so please, please, please don’t get your feelings hurt if I don’t respond. I’m just going to automatically...

Best of Erik: Chatting with Your Loved Ones

Earlier, when I posted about what Erik feels when Jamie trance channels him, I forgot to share what the experience is like from my perspective. Watching Jamie trance channel Erik is nothing less than awe-inspiring. As Erik enters her body, you can see a flash of light alongside the curve of her neck, usually on...

Loss of an Ability

Let’s continue our series on loss: Me: Tell me a little bit about the spiritual aspects of a loss of an ability, Erik. There are so many examples like someone becoming a paraplegic, someone becoming blind or deaf, etc. Erik: It goes back to attachment again. You’re focusing on something that you’re still attached to...

More About Loss. Yes, Again

This is such a timely topic for me because I’ve been feeling really down, missing Erik. His birthday and his death day are just around the corner so that doesn’t help. On the way home from an errand I just burst out crying. I think that’s a good thing because I’ve never really sobbed, I...

Best of Erik: Idle Hands Are the Work of the Devil

Everyone know someone who’s lazy. Maybe it’s one of your children. Maybe it’s a co-worker. Maybe it’s a sibling, a spouse or even YOU! But you might want to feel a little compassion for the lazy dude, because the underlying reason has spiritual roots. Take a look: Me: What’s behind laziness? Why are some people...

Divorce

I apologize for not having some sort or introduction to the post nor have I edited it! I’m neck deep in work (and drama) today. 🙂 Me: Sometimes, couples get divorces, and that’s obviously another type of loss, which is along the lines of family estrangement we just talked about. But there’s also that stigma...

Perspectives

Eclectic Horizons recently invited another one of our clients (who is also a Channeling Erik family member) to ask questions of Erik through psychic medium Kent Lehman. Kent: OK, he’s playing his theme music so I know he’s here! Client: What’s he listening to today, Kent? Kent: Well, today it is what it usually is,...

Erik, the Mischief Maker

One thing I forgot to mention about the John Wayne interview: It was conducted over a year ago, well before the IRS scandal. Interesting! Now enjoy this story about Erik’s relentless mischief with a blog member. Who knows? You might be next! Erik steps his pranking to a new level with her.  You do not...

Channeling John Wayne

I fell in love with John Wayne’s movies ever since watching True Grit and The Green Berets. Both made me cry, and I like movies that have that effect on me. I sob every time I watch Bambi’s mother die. Recently I was wondering why. All of my life I’ve felt emotionally numb. In other...

Best of Erik: Ego in Heaven?

In channeling one of my family members a few days after his death, I noticed that he still had his ego. I always thought that when we became spirits, that ego would be shed. What’s up with that? In subsequent sessions, he’s become less egocentric but still, I’ve never encountered that before.  Me: Let’s talk about...

The Loss of a Relationship

Most of us have lost a relationship of some kind in our lives whether it’s a friend or a family member. Sometimes it’s devastating and keeps us from moving forward. We get stuck. Sometimes it’s a relief. Have you ever cut ties with someone who’s been a negative influence in your life? I’m talking about people...

If you're new to Channeling Erik, I recommend you read the backstory first. Then, I suggest you start with the very first post. In doing so you can follow my journey just as I did, through the inexplicable, inconceivable, and yet utterly undeniable surprises that I have encountered since my son''s death. Welcome.
