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…
Marijuana and Children
Raylene and I finally published our monthly Q & A with Erik for June! Thanks for being patient, everyone. As you know, her child was hospitalized with a very serious condition. If you want to submit a question for July, then click HERE to access her site. A word of advice: Do so at midnight…
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…
Erik on Drugs (But Not Really)
My heart goes out to the city of Orlando. It’s inconceivable to think that three tragedies have occurred there: the killing of Christina Grimmie, the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, and most recently the death of little Lane Graves, drowned by an alligator at Disney World. I’m not sure if I should interview any…
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…
Stress 101, Part One
I spoke to Erik today, and he’s decided that the Channeling Erik Facebook group will continue to be open. He hopes that there will be no drama or negativity, but if there is, of course members can choose to leave the group. He’d prefer that people stay and use the discord as a teachable moment,…
Cling Wrap
Thanks so much, everyone, for sending prayers and love to Kate and her mother. Kate emailed me sharing how grateful she is for all of you. As for the radio show yesterday, we all had so much fun. Erik was in fine form, as usual, and Jamie had to do some major “bleeping” throughout. I’m…
The Next Big Thing
Me: What’s going to be the next big advance? You know we had the printing press; we had the automobile. I’m talking about things that change the world. Most recently we had the computer chip, obviously. What’s going to be the next big advance? Erik: Hm. It’s going to be science for health care. Me:…
Marijuana for Children?
Toking for toddlers? Hmm. I never, and I mean NEVER, thought this topic would come up, but it’s right up Erik’s alley, of course. Don’t forget to take the survey at the end. And by the way, I really want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments that have been coming in. I wish the…
Earth or Heaven. Hmm.
I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for the results of the innie/outie poll with baited breath, so without further ado, here they are: Outie: 91% Innie: 9% Please know that this was all in jest. Whether you have an innie or an outite and nothing to do with those little tornadoes and stumpy things. I…
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…
Borderline Personality Disorder, The Soapbox Version
A couple of days ago, I posted about borderline personality and one of the blog members wanted to know more about a possible cure for the disorder. Erik had a lot to say on the matter, most of it ranting on a soapbox digressing in all sorts of directions. ADHD still persists in the spirit…
Channeling Bob Marley, Part One
Last night’s conference call was amazing. There was laughter, there are tears, there was healing, there were dropped jaws and a sense of awe. Unless anyone objects, we’ll release the recording in the next few days, but the agreement must be unanimous! If anyone doesn’t want the recording to be released to the CE family,…
Drugs and Spirituality
Channeling Transcript Me: Okay, what about drugs, Erik? What do you think about legalizing drugs, like marijuana? Let’s look at that one first. Should it be legalized? Erik: They’re kinda like prescription drugs: they can help those who need them but harm those who don’t. Me: Okay. Erik: Marijuana is one of the gentler ones….
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…
