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.

Channeling River Phoenix, Part One

First, Erik and I would like to thank you all for the outpouring of birthday well wishes. Personally, I think that when we all cross over, we owe him a bunch of birthday spankings, and “one to grow on”! Many of the posts that follow will be focused on insight from various celebrities, but I...

Happy Birthday Erik!

Ah, today is bittersweet. This, the day of Erik’s birth, conjures up joyful memories as well as a deep sense of loss. What do I give a boy who has given his life for us? What gift could possibly do justice to a young man who loved and still loves so deeply? He is not...

Ian Stevenson

Scientist, Ian Stevenson, is one of my heroes, first to etch away part of my thick armor of skepticism. Enjoy this video about his work. Enjoy Endre’s performance of Dany Boy at a 911 Commemoration. Very poignant, full of feeling, keep the Kleenex box handy. Danny Boy – Endre Balogh Tomorrow, I will be out...

Finding Your Purpose

Although I’m not against those who seek wealth, I believe it’s important to realize that it cannot bring meaning to life. Only we can do that. And that means we must leave this world a better place than when we came here, even if by small measure. Enjoy this video, a beautiful illustration of this...

You may also make whatever comments you wish until she gives us the orders to cease and desist! I’ll let you know when and if those orders are issued. Blog member, Paul Crockett, a talented artist and...

Last Night’s Channeling

Lately I’ve been looking at life and thinking, ‘Where the hell is the joy?” Family drama and illness are but a small part of the challenges I’ve faced lately. Much of it I can’t share because of privacy concerns, but trust me, it all sucks. So last night, I had a long talk with my...

Holidays and Sisters

Quick note: my daughter, Kristina, is working on some problems with the blog. As I said earlier, something is sucking up bandwidth like a freaking monster with a thyroid condition eating a gallon of french vanilla ice cream after a traumatic break up. So you might notice the archives, forums, and media gallery come and...

True Story

Blog member, True, shares her amazing reading with Jamie. (Sorry about the corny play on words in the title!) I can’t imagine how even the most recalcitrant skeptic can explain this away. “I had a reading with Jamie and Erik last week. Jamie let me know that Erik had some work for me to do...

Psychic Surgeons

I can’t tell you how great it is to be posting again. I miss transcribing the conversations I’ve had with my sweet little prankster and the camaraderie with my fellow CE family members. These last two weeks have been anything but easy, as you can imagine. And of course, it’s not over yet. I suppose...

Message from Elisa

I finally had a chance to come home, sit on my couch nursing a glass of red wine (along with my emotional wounds) and read the comments on the blog. The outpouring of well wishes and love was like balm to a weary heart, evoking tears of joy. Words cannot express the profound love I...

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.
