The next question for Erik comes from a dear friend and coworker of mine. She’s a very gentle spirit with a kind heart, so it was difficult to learn that she experienced a tragedy similar to mine. In August of 2009, her brother took his life the same way Erik did, by gunshot wound to…
Ask Erik: Dina’s Question
This next question is from a young woman who goes by the name, Dina. Dina’s Question Hello Elisa, I’m writing to inquire about your “Channeling Erik” page. I’ll start off by saying this is my very first time doing anything like this. I’ve never had a reading done, I’ve never talked to a medium, I’ve…
Ask Erik: Hope’s Question
Hope’s Question Well I have been reading all the updates on channeling Erik.. It is truly amazing how much Erik is helping others. I have been speaking a little with you Mrs. Elisa about my Grandma. I wouldn’t to see if Erik could help me have a little bit piece of mind. I think about…
Ask Erik: Paula’s Question
And now for a question from a concerned mother: Paula’s Question I am both intrigued and skeptical by your reports of visits by Erik and the channeling. I know grief, and dealing with it, takes many forms. I am impressed by your ability to put into words what most of us bury (no pun intended)…
Teen Shit
In this part of the channeling session with Kim O’Neill, Erik discusses self-esteem issues and delivers messages for his sisters and brother. Let’s begin. Me: What, other than past life issues, really affected your self-esteem, Erik? I mean, why? What happened to you? Erik, shrugging: Just typical shit. Typical teenage shit. Kim: Erik, could you…
Future Work with Erik
In previous channeling sessions, Erik has told me that we are meant to work together on several projects: this blog, some books, a TV series and a movie. I can’t fathom this, as my energy and motivation is as low as my spirits. How low? The Marianas trench looks like the Rocky Mountain ridge by…
Suicide: To Be or Not to Be
I’ve had a number of readers submit questions to the Ask Erik column who are depressed. Many are in crisis, at a crossroads and in despair. Some are admittedly contemplating suicide. As a physician, my impulse is to help by giving them various resources and a compassionate ear. As a mother, my impulse is to…
Crisis of Faith
The last couple of months have been difficult for me. I haven’t really felt Erik’s presence for what seems like an eternity. No sounds, no signs, no smells, no nothing. This paucity of evidence along with my ever-present tendency to analyze and doubt has begun to erode my faith. Yesterday, I had an epiphany about…
Is 2012 the End?
Last time I channeled Erik through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill, I asked him a question that seems to cause a great deal of concern to people the world over. Does the year 2012 mark the end of the world as predicted by the Mayans? With the world economy in historic distress, with Iran and North…
Ask Erik: Irene’s Question
I really enjoy watching Erik wield his newfound wisdom to help others. I have my next channeling session in a couple of days and already have several Ask Erik submissions, along with my own personal questions. Here’s the last one from a woman living across the pond. Irene’s question: Hello Erik: I would like to…
Ask Erik: Tom’s Question
And now for the next question presented to Erik through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill. Please note that I’ve obscured the last name for privacy issues. Tom’s “Ask Erik” submission: Hi Elisa, Stanley is a friend of mine and back in February, he emailed me a link to your blog here. At the time I thought…
Ask Erik: Lauren’s Question
Mother’s Day looms in the near future like a dark specter taunting me. I feel so conflicted. On the one hand, I should be rejoicing that day. After all, I do have four wonderful children still here with me on the earthly plane. On the other hand, this is the first Mother’s Day without Erik…
Ask Erik: Bethany’s Question
Here is the next of several submissions to the “Ask Erik” page. As you can see, we’ve kept him very busy, but I’m sure he adores the attention. Bethany’s question: In 1996 my uncle committed suicide and my family seemed to fall apart after this. My dad has been in deep depression since, and his…
Ask Erik: Cassie’s Question
Cassie’s question: You’ve never met me, but I knew Erik in high school and even though we didn’t speak much, gosh, he was such a neat guy! I go to his facebook page nearly every day and I’ve read every blog of yours. It’s truly inspiring considering I lost my father very suddenly when I…
Ask Erik: Pascal’s Question
Erik has done so much to help us peons here on Earth. Oftentimes, our struggles compel us to flirt with suicide, so when Erik offers his wisdom and insight, it lights our way with hope and a newfound desire to continue our human experience, however trying and burdensome. The next several posts will include submissions…
Channeling Erik Through Felix Lerma, Part Three
I’ve been having a very hard time lately. It seems like I must work so hard to distract myself. Idle moments take me to a very dark and unhappy place. The images of what he looked like when I found his body, his blank and lifeless stare, the smell of gunpowder and blood in the…
Channeling Erik Through Felix Lerma, Part Two
And now for the anxiously awaited continuation of the channeling session with world renown psychic medium, Felix Lee Lerma. Let’s jump right it. Again, as before, Felix’s comments will be in italics and mine will be in plain text. Enjoy. Who’s Mickey or Mike? Mike? Mike is…I met two friends who also had children who…
Channeling Erik Through Psychic Medium, Felix Lee Lerma
A friend tipped me off to Felix Lee Lerma, a young psychic medium living in San Francisco who apparently is very well-regarded, conducting readings for a number of celebrities and other famous people. I had to wait four agonizingly long months for my appointment to finally arrive. I’ll break my hour long session into several…
