I’d like to thank everyone for all the love and well-wishes yesterday. You all made a difficult day easier to bear. In fact, in the channeling session this morning, Erik commented, “It was really weird having so many people think about me yesterday!” (He meant this in the nicest of ways, of course. Just the...
My Daughter’s Post
Please be sure to read my eldest daughter’s poignant entry in her world-renown blog, PrettyShinySparkly. Although her blog usually covers all things light and beautiful, today’s was all about her heartrending experience two years ago. http://t.co/vSavrHEQ Be sure to read the comments too.
Happy Homecoming, Erik
October 6th. Two years ago. Lives ripped apart forever. This day is hard for me. The memories. Even driving down Echo Lane this morning brought back that time when we were speeding home in response to Maria’s phone call, everyone screaming at the tops of their lungs. Even opening the front door to water my...
Channeling John Lennon, Part One
Channeling Transcript Me: Erik, what do you want your role to be with this celebrity interview book? It seems like in an earlier session, you said you wanted to do the interviewing. Jamie: Oh, is that why he jumps in with questions like “what’s your favorite color?” and “what’s your favorite animal?” Jamie and I...
Love or Fear: Which Will You Choose
Before we start, I would like to share the fact that around 4:00 AM, I woke up to smell a freshly lit cigarette. No one in my family smokes, but Erik used to LOVE it. In fact, he would sometime roll his own to save money. As a doctor, I would plead with him to...
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
At long last, I’ve been urged (strongly) to seek treatment for my PTSD. Okay, we’re talking major arm twisting here, because I’m a typical mom who feels that everyone else’s needs must be addressed and nurtured before I tend to my own wounds. So, with five kids, a husband and friends (including cyber friends), I...
Channeling Michael Jackson, Part Three
All good things must come to an end, including our conversation with Michael, at least for now. At the end of this entry, I included a candid interview with Michael about the abuse he endured as a child. Very sad. On a lighter note, please enjoy an encore of Sam Tsui’s Michael Jackson Medley as...

Channeling Michael Jackson, Part Two
Me: Okay. Was it your destiny to die when and how you did? Michael: Yes. Me: And why? Michael: I think what I could do in my life was really over. Me: Okay. I guess that’s a perfect segue into the next question: What were you here to learn and teach? (Long pause) Jamie: He...
Channeling Michael Jackson, Part One
Before we start, I’d like to say that I still get a lot of smells and pranks from Erik, but I don’t share them all since they’re usually very similar. Yesterday, while walking alone in the middle of a deep forest, I smelled a very strong scent of pot. I looked around. No skulking teens....
How to Rise Above Your Struggles
Me: Erik, there are so many people who are struggling in so many ways. Some of us grieve over a loss, some of us have trouble with a relationship, raising kids, making ends meet, dealing with bosses or co-workers, and even figuring out why we’re here in the first place. My god, the list of...
Missing a Loved One?
Many of you have found your way to this oasis of hope by following a trail of tears. Many of you grieve. Many of you have suffered under the heavy burden of loss. You find camaraderie here. Understanding. Unity. Friendship. Compassion. But it doesn’t replace the son, daughter, lover, friend or sibling that is no...
Channeling Kurt Cobain, Part Two
Many who have led such tortured existences like Kurt seem elated to transition Home again. This should in no way condone suicide. In past entries, Erik has explained time and time again why taking your own life is almost never the best option. When you cross over, you still carry the same emotional baggage with...
Channeling Kurt Cobain, Part One
Erik was always a fan of an eclectic mix of music: hard rock, rap, reggae, spanish classical guitar and, of course, grunge. Nirvana was no exception. He loved their music. Personally, I also enjoy crazy percussion, screaming electric guitar with lots of palm muting, so Kurt cobain is right up my alley too. Then again,...
We Are All Healers
I remember one day around 20 years ago, a woman came in to my clinic complaining of abdominal pain. She was a new patient in her mid to late 50s, had long blond wavy hair with streaks of grey, and dressed in a way that shouted, “I am a Bohemian, and I march to the...
The New Look of Channeling Erik
Hi everyone! It’s the eldest daughter writing to let you know that I’ve given Channeling Erik a shiny new facelift (because my mom doesn’t look a day over 29 so I had to do it on someone). Old vs. New You’ll notice that things are not only a lot easier to read, comment, and...
Ascension
Quick announcement: My eldest daughter is transferring Channeling Erik to a different server so I won’t be able to post for a day or two. Sorry! Meanwhile, here’s some great information about The Ascension. NOT DOOM AND GLOOM Climate change, economic upheaval and governments run amok. Are we staring into the face of our own...
Channeling River Phoenix, Part Two
Here’s part two of River’s message. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Know that I think about you, my cyber family, every day. I love you! To refresh your memory, River answers a question about his previous beliefs: River: I pretty much dabbled in spiritualism. I really felt that there was a spirit...
