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.

Stress 101, Part Two

Oh my god, guys! I just had my first  (of many) sessions with Robert, and I was blown away. The first part is mostly an introduction: His life, how he met Erik, how their relationship grew and what it’s like now. Here’s an interesting fact that I got from two spirit communicators, including Jamie: In...

Stress 101, Part One

I spoke to Erik today, and he’s decided that the Channeling Erik Facebook group will continue to be open. He hopes that there will be no drama or negativity, but if there is, of course members can choose to leave the group. He’d prefer that people stay and use the discord as a teachable moment,...

The Secret of Life

Hello wonderful CE folks; Thank you to everyone who’s been sending thoughts and prayers to me and my family.  We’re hanging in there!  There are a couple of ways to look at this: to be angry / sad / upset / grieving all the time, or to be grateful for the time we have /...

Jesse’s Convo with Erik

Blog member, Daniel Lucas (who is a real sweetheart) made this for us. He’s so talented, I thought he was a graphic designer or some other type of artist. As far as the poll on the CE Facebook closure, it looks like 11% want it closed. I had an epiphany. When there is drama or...

Being a Badass

I received an enormous amount to requests to keep the Channeling Erik Facebook Group going, which makes me question what Erik said on the eBoard. Maybe I asked the question incorrectly? So, I’m going to ask him again through Jamie on the 4th. Meanwhile, I placed a poll at the bottom of the page. Also,...

Milk of Amnesia

I’m sitting by the fire while it’s sleeting and snowing outside with my laptop in my lap. It’s so cozy. The kids’s schools have all been canceled. (It doesn’t take much here in Houston. One snowflake and everything here comes to a grinding halt!) For those of you in the Midwest and Northeast, be careful....

What is a Soul?

As I type on my laptop in front of a roaring fire, I feel so glad I’m not outside in the sleet and icy rain. Everything is covered with a thick sheet of ice. I know it’s worse elsewhere, but this is Houston, TX. We rarely get these winter storms. Because of that, most Houstonians...

The Spiritual Benefits of Plants

Thanks for all the questions, guys! Please be sure to keep them about the human experience. I’ve been getting a lot of personal questions for the Ask Erik column. I’m not ready for those yet, though, so if you can refrain from sending those, it’ll make my life easier. Currently, I’m spending around 3 hours...

Hemp Oil

I’ve read all of your comments and it looks like a split decision with those who want me to go back to basics in a small majority. So, here’s what I’m going to do: Once a month on Monday I’ll post an Ask Erik entry. Every day except Friday I’ll cover subjects about loss and...

Back to Basics

Since it’s a holiday, I wasn’t planning to post today, but I’d like your feedback on something. Over the last couple of years, I think that the blog has lost it’s way. At first, it was centered around loss, grief, death and the afterlife. Since then, we began to ask questions that covered “fringe” topics...

Lucid Dreams

As some of you might already know, Kate Sitka’s mom was just diagnosed with Stage IV gliobastoma multiform. They weren’t able to get it all during the surgery. Let’s all, as a collective, send both of them love and healing energy at 1:00 PM every day for a few days. Say prayers when you can....

Where to Begin

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.
