Dear Reader, Although Erik sometimes paints a rosy picture of the afterlife, time and time again he stresses that suicide is not the answer to one’s problems. If you struggle, please understand that the information in my blog and my books is no substitute for professional help. Please click here for a list of resources…
Erik on Fatigue, Part Two
I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was busy and eventful. The baby shower yesterday was coed, held at the house of Kristina’s friend since the age of nine. I feel like her second mother. We brought the grandkids knowing that there would be other children there, and I’ll have to say that Easton…
Alcoholism
It seems like this is the month when I take care of gimps with broken bones. My husband broke his foot when someone on the racetrack accidentally t-boned him. The bad thing is we leave for Norway Thursday, but at least we’ll get priority boarding! We have an appointment with the ortho doc sometime tomorrow…
Alcohol on the Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Body
I have a couple of announcements. First, I’m going to North Carolina early in the morning to visit Kristina and her hubby, Houston, for a few days. We’re taking Bella, so she’ll experience her first airplane ride. I’m a little nervous about pet relief stations and whether we can find one, but her bladder is…
Communicating with Your Dead, Part Two
Today, I find out the sex of the new grandbaby! Michelle is getting her ultrasound this afternoon, and she’s going to give the ultrasound technician a blank envelop to put the results in. Then the envelop will be sealed so she can’t know the results. Michelle will give me the envelop, I’ll open it, and…
Erik’s Favorite Subject
Lately, I’ve been wrestling with conflicted feelings. As I’ve shared Erik with the world more and more, I feel like I’m losing a subtle part of our mother-son connection. It’s as though he’s no longer “my Erik.” Instead, he’s this idealized version of himself. No pain, no flaws, no humanness. I can’t reach him out…
Human Desires
Someone asked me about this very question yesterday, and here it is. Synchronicity again. Me: It seems that religious teacher and society, in general, think physical desires are bad and to be avoided while disciplined intellectual and spiritual work is praised. I see a lot of denial and repression here. So it says— Jamie giggles…
Alcohol, Marijuana and Ayahuasca, Oh, My!
I can’t think of a better topic for a Friday. Have a wonderful weekend, guys! Me: What is your take on alcohol and it’s effect on the physical, emotional and spiritual body? (Pause) Me: Look, I’m still having my glass of Cabernet every night, so say whatever you damn well please. Erik: That’s different, but…
Erik on Drugs (But Not Really)
This is sure to generate some heated debate! Channeling Transcript Me: Is marijuana bad? Should some or all drugs be legalized? (Pause) Me: This whole thing at the border between the U.S. and Mexico has got me very concerned, so I’m wondering if we decriminalize certain drugs if that would help. When we criminalize things…
