During yesterday’s session, I asked Erik to come visit me more and sit in my lap like he used to as a kid. He promised me he would, and sure enough, all day yesterday I felt intense Erik tingles on my thighs. At one point, Arleen was sitting next to me playing games on my iPhone, and when the tingling was very intense, she said, “Erik is hiding behind your leg!” Her gifts keep growing, and it gave me such confirmation that he was honoring his promise (without moaning and rolling his eyeballs like he did in life.)
Okay, I need a favor, guys. They’re going to double the monthly price I have to pay for the CE mobile app if I don’t have more people download it. Can you give it a try? It’s absolutely free without ads, and through it, you’ll be notified of every new post, radio show, YouTube, Instagram and tweet. It’s nice to have all of those in one simple app. iPhone users download it from iTunes or the app store, and android users download it through Google Play.
Also, if you haven’t already, please let your voice be heard in choosing the next Channeling Erik Event by answering the following poll. It takes just a couple of seconds, and will really help me out. Gawd, I’m needy today!
Me: Okay, what diseases can arise from self-loathing? What can that cause? Because a lot of people just don’t seem to feel worthy of love.
Erik (in a sing-song voice): CANCER!
Me: Oh, god, yeah. I guess they get eaten up inside.
Erik: Yep. Let’s just put that at number one, top of the list.
Me: How about pettiness? What disease can that cause, you know, when people are just so small-minded?
(Pause)
Jamie giggles at whatever Erik says.
(Long pause)
Jamie (to Erik in a reluctant tone): Pettiness. Alright, fine! (then to me): The first thing he shows me is when men can’t pee right.
Me: Oh yeah?
Jamie: Like prostate trouble. What? Does it swell or something like that?
Me: Sure.
Jamie (chuckling): He calls that the pettiness.
Me: Okay, but what about in women?
Erik: Heart tension, arrhythmia. That’s number one. Irregular heartbeats. Then there’s ulcers and digestive problems because they can’t control the situation.
Me: What situation?
Erik: Whatever they’re being petty about and their own pettiness. Some men can control their pettiness, but usually woman can’t.
Me: Oh! Okay, what about greediness and over-indulgence?
Erik: Damn, where do I start? Let’s see, high cholesterol, heart attacks, more issues with the intestines, but mostly, you get into a lot of mental disorders.
Me: Oh, really? Like what?
Jamie (to Erik, laughing hard): I don’t think that’s what you call it!
(Pause)
Jamie (again to Erik): Okay, you win. I’ll say it that way. “King’s disease.”
Me: Oh, gout, maybe?
Jamie: King’s disease? What’s that?
Me: I think it must be gout, because I know King Henry VIII had horrible gout.
Jamie (giggling): Okay, cool! I’m glad it made sense!
Me: Yeah, me too! So what about jealousy?
Erik: Jealousy is pretty much a self-destructive feeling, even though you’d think it would be external, you know, targeted to the other person.
Me: Yeah, sure.
Erik: But really it’s you beating yourself up because you can’t or haven’t achieved what that other person has done. So, it’s about not being able to acknowledge your goal and then being able to achieve it. That brings on self-destruction.
Me: Yeah, and not being able to embrace the other person’s success.
Erik: Yep, so migraines, headaches can stem from that. Also arthritis, stiffness in the joints. It’s like you can’t get up and try to do what the other person is doing.
Me: Ah, okay. Let’s see, one more. What about anxiety? So many people have anxiety disorders.
Erik: Anxiety is lungs, number one, heart, number two, and stomach, number three.
Me: Okay.
Erik: We can pretty much combine all this together. Respiratory, circulatory, and digestive. When these three systems break down or act up, then the hormones totally send off the wrong signals. It’s a complete bust. A complete bust of the system. Now, how a person behaves within it, they might only feel shortness of breath, or they might feel lke they’re having a heart attack—
Me: Like a panic attack, kind of.
Erik: —or they feel like they can’t eat, sometimes for days, like they can’t take it all in and digest it.
Me: Gotcha.
Erik: So it depends on how they’re absorbing it. Anxiety, I feel, is—
Jamie (laughing): He’s correcting me. He says he knows, not feels. He goes, “No, no no! I know this.”
Erik: Yeah, in America, it’s like the number one thing.
Me: Oh, yeah, I bet.
Erik: It’s SOOOO the number one thing. When we look energetically at what causes the most diseases, it’s the feeling of anxiety.
Me: Wow. So we should just spike the water supply with Xanax or Valium, I guess.
Erik (in jest): Well, I think more than half the people are on it already!
Me: Oh, wait. I wanna clarify something. You said the “King’s Disease” after saying greed and over-indulgence usually causes a lot of mental disorders, but gout isn’t a mental issue.
Erik: Yeah, but it can result from greed, and—
Me: I know King George the Something or Other was crazy, but I think that was caused by hereditary porphyria.
Erik: Yeah, but that’s not what I meant. I meant that disease where you think you’re the center of the fuckin’ universe.
Me: Oh! Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Erik: Yeah, what she said. Seriously, that is a really common disorder for people in power, especially dictators, but a lot of other people in power.
Me: What comes first, the chicken or the egg? Does the power make them that way or—
Erik: No! People with that mental disease seek power, then when they get into power, it just stokes their engine even more.
Me: Great. We probably have a few of those in office all over the country.
Erik: Yeah, but not all.
Me: I hope not. Maybe everyone running for office needs to undergo rigorous psychological and personality testing, then release the results to the voters. I mean, I don’t want any crazy people steering the ship!
Erik laughs.

Last but not least, enjoy this lovely review of Erik’s book, My Life After Death!
As an avid blog reader for years, there was not a lot of new information in here. But gathered together in one engaging story, it was a really great way to put it all those bits and pieces together, fitting the puzzle pieces and having it all make a lot more sense. It’s totally engaging and a really easy read. It’s hard to put down, you’ll want to read it all in one go. Erik explains his journey so clearly and openly, there is absolutely nothing to fear about death. And for anyone missing a loved one, it’s so reassuring that death is not the end. Your relationships have changed a bit, but the love and intimacy is still there and available if you open your mind and make the connection. Dr Medhus and her family have shared their most vulnerable and painful experiences with the world through the blog and her books. My own spiritual beliefs, and my entire life really, have been forever changed through the information and connections made through her work. I’m forever grateful.
Anybody new to the idea of life after death, this is the perfect place to start. Even though it’s an introduction to some very woo-woo topics and ideas, Erik’s matter of fact conversational style and his regular “dude” way of expressing himself makes it incredibly easy to understand. There are plenty of books on near death experiences. But this is a first-hand account of ACTUAL after death experience. Channelled through one of the most masterful mediums on the planet, Jamie Butler, Erik is able to explain every moment, from the events leading to his death, the moments just before, the process of what happens at death, and then the journey beyond – from the transition and life review to his current work as a guide. Loved this book, and will want to share it with some of my family who are non-believers.
