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.

Erik Helps Jamie

As many of you may already know, Jamie is rebranding herself as a teacher–a brilliant one at that–and needs help launching her nonprofit organization so that she can help others on a grander scale. Erik suggested she make a video with him to explain where she’s going and how she’s going to get there: Cute,...

Channeling an Alien, Part Two

Enjoy Part Two of Patrick’s interview! Q:          How large is your ship, the one you’re in? AE:        By Earth measurements, its length is approximately 436 meters and width approximately two thirds this, being a wide oval shape. Depth top to bottom as you would understand this, nearly two hundred meters. Oblong is word you would...

Channeling an Alien, Part One

Today, I have a treat for you guys. As some of you know, Patrick DeHaan, medium and blog member, enjoys interviewing notable figures just like I do, and many of you have really loved reading his interviews in the past. The good news is that he’s graciously agreed to share his interview with an alien, which...

“My New Old Friend” Post

A few days ago I read the post titled My New Old Friend. The author describes how she “met” Erik and how he has quickly become a part of her life. I have to admit, I felt a twinge of jealousy. She goes on to mention that she is a huge prankster, much like Erik...

Hershey’s Chocolate!

Elisa here. This one is just, well, WOW! I’ve been reading the Channeling Erik blog for about a year now. I’ve asked Erik to prank me on several occasions but never noticed anything out of the ordinary, until today! I sell postcards online, and this morning I was looking through some cards I had decided...

My World is Rosier Now

After asking how to overcome sadness and desolation and sadness after my husband of almost 60 years passed away, I came upon a reading fr0m Erik about moving on. I really cannot remember all of the advice, but I now have a different attitude. I am intent on remembering all of the good things we did...

More Erik Mischief

I’m here at the campsite enjoying my morning, protected from the rain, wind and 49 degree weather. Very cozy and conducive to getting some work done. Scout and Bella have really had a great time camping with us. Bella taught Scout how to walk on a leash so that we no longer drag her around...

I Got This Feeling…

I remember long ago when Kristina was around five and Michelle was around two, we were planning a trip to Cozumel, Mexico. But as the date for the trip loomed nearer, I felt uneasy. I had traveled by plane many, many times and, with the exception of airsickness (Yes, before the patch was invented, I would...

What is Love?

Very talented designer, Terese Newman, created several beautiful posters for us.  I’ll share them from time to time.  Here is one of them. Thanks, Terese! This one was hard for me to grasp, but that’s because I had a preconceived notion of what Love is. See if you get as frustrated as I did! Me:...

Dealing with Energy Vampires

Before we dive in, I have an exciting announcement. My daughter, Michelle, called me last night to tell me I’m going to have grand baby number two! She supposedly wasn’t even trying (Yeah, right) so I had no reason to suspect, but she when I answered the phone and she said, “Mom?” the first thing...

Is Heaven a Snoozer or a Trip?

When Erik describes Heaven, I react differently depending on the state of affairs in my life. If the shit’s hitting the fan, I’m like, “Sign me up. Let’s get a first class ticket for Mama E!” But when I’m loving life as I have recently, I’m more hesitant. The thought of having no contrast sounds, well,...

Erik, He’s so Dreamy

Ok so I’ve been meaning to share this but was SO embarrassed I didn’t want to post it. Oh well here it goes haha. I had a dream a few months ago about Erik. I had been watching all the videos and reading the blog for days….. and maybe developed the strangest, creepiest crush ever…...

Ask and You Shall Receive

I posted this in the Channeling Erik Mediums but thought I would also share here because it was awesome! This morning I was driving to work, and I have had an especially challenging week so far at work ( I work with special needs preschoolers) so I asked Erik, and my angels to give me...

Channeling Nikola Tesla, Part Two

Yesterday, while I was sitting on the couch, computer in my lap, I felt the most intense goosebumps on my right leg. Had it intensified further, it would have been painful. I recognized that as Erik’s energy and knew that he was sitting beside me, keeping me company. He was probably laughing at my clumsy...

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.
