In the beginning of this channeling session, I asked about the hardships one of our family friends had to endure during much of her youth. For obvious reasons, I’ve changed her name to protect her privacy. But I share this with you, because many of us struggle with adversity at some time in our lives,…
Erik on Senses and Emotions in the Afterlife
In this part of the channeling session, Erik shares how senses and emotions differ between discarnate and incarnate souls. Not only did I find this information fascinating, it also seemed so very real and true. Be sure to read the Antal story after the transcript at the end of the post. Talk about synchronicity! Channeling…
Erik, Phone Home?
The weirdest thing just happened while I was practicing my channeling with Erik. I had told my brain to “shut down,” a command it obeys only with great reluctance, then proceeded with my usual greetings of love, gratitude and longing. No sooner had I posed my first few questions than the phone rang, interrupting my…
Ask Erik: Tracy’s Question
Tracy’s Questions Dear Elisa, I think the boys have definitely hooked up because my PC crashed this afternoon and I had to wait for my husband, Neil to come home from work so I could use his laptop. Someone is messing around with my electrics! Shortly after Adam’s death I visited a medium as part…
Ask Erik: Chitra’s Question
As are most questions from bereaved mothers, this one was difficult for me. Her grief and sorrow stirred up my own. In this particular case, Chitra’s daughter, Lavanya, came forward with Erik and did most of her own speaking. I’m not sure why some spirits have Erik or the medium translate and why others prefer…
Psychics and Bunny Ears
As some of you know, my daughter, Michelle, and I attended Kim O’Neill’s Angel Boot Camp yesterday here in Houston. I was fortunate enough to meet several wonderful blog members: Chris, Rebecca, Shawna, Paula, and many others. One thing I learned from the bunch is, DANG, you guys can PAR-TAY!!! The poolside partying was a…
Kim on Jason and Robert
In an effort to get through as many of the Ask Erik questions as possible for those of you who have been waiting so patiently for the word for word transcript, I skipped an earlier section of my session with Kim O’Neill from September 21st. As I return to that segment, I see that it…
Double Trouble
I have two stories to share, both about Erik’s antics. The first: My brother-in-law, Jim, is very fond of a certain shirt of his. Two days ago, he scoured the entire house for it. His wife, Laura, my younger sister, aided in the reconnaissance operation, hunting high and low in every closet and drawer, pawing…
A Jason-Erik-Robert Sandwich
As always, I have a little preamble. Sorry. As you all know, it’s been a tough time of the year for me. Lot’s of “firsts.” First birthday since Erik’s death, first anniversary of his death, first anniversary of his burial (today.) And of course, I’ve been expressing that grief in the blog, not only to…
Erik’s Death, Part Two
This is the continuation of Erik’s description of his death and the events that occurred in the moments that followed. Erik: Then I felt pulled. It felt like I was being pulled from the back of my shoulders. Not pushed, but, it’s kind of what I would imagine water being moved up a straw would…
What is Death Like?
I thought I’d jump ahead to share a snippet of at least one of the questions for the upcoming book along, of course, with Erik’s answers. I plan to post another Ask Erik question that’s ready in my drafts folder, but I’m waiting for confirmation and permission from the person who submitted it. Hang on…
Ask Erik: Endre’s Questions
Endre’s Questions Dear Elisa, I discovered your beautiful blog “Channeling Erik” about ten days ago. It is a real blessing and service that you and your dear Erik are providing the world. Thank you for doing it. Please accept my deepest sympathy for all the heartache you and your family have had to endure. It…
Erik’s New Heaven
Channeling Transcript Jeannie: And Erik is here. Me: Oh, good. Hi, Sweetie! Got a birthday coming up! Erik: Hi Mom. I’ve just got to tell you about the things that have been happening to me. It’s just so amazing! I’m learning, um, a lot! And you know I get to see you. I guess I…
The Three Musketeers
I love the banter between Jason, Robert and Erik, so, with their permission, I share it today with you. Enjoy Jason’s blog journal about his spiritual awakening as well as the interaction that Erik has with him and Robert. Every prank, silly face and sayings are so undeniably Erik that I find it comforting. The…
Ask Erik: Martha’s Questions
Before I begin Martha’s part of the channeling transcript, I’d like to share with you a dream I had last night. It was so vivid and real, I thought it was all true. Erik appeared to me in the flesh, all excited with wonderful news. God had given him a second chance. He saw just…
Jason, Robert and Erik
I love the banter between Erik and Jason, so I thought I’d share some more. I’ve also included Jason’s thoughts on the concept of time and a technique he uses to communicate with and sense spirits. He’s so gifted in this area that I consider him and Robert our resident experts. I recently introduced Robert…
Erik Finds Tracy and Shannon
I know these stories are also in the comments section, but they’re so remarkable, I think they deserve a home of their own in the form of a post. Plus, I’m working a 12 hour shift at the hospital, and cutting and pasting seems a bit more manageable today. (Yes, I do have a lazy…
Ask Erik: Tom’s Question
This question was very difficult for me. For one, I was feeling a bit down that day, swept from pillar to post by yet another tidal wave of grief. But I also felt a connection to Tom’s story, to his son, Matteo, and the pain they both have endured. Even as I write these words,…
Erik Graduates to Guide Status!
What I’m about to share today is probably the most amazing Channeling Erik experience yet. First let me begin by saying that Erik announced some happy news during my last channeling session with Jeannie Barnes. He says he’s been moved to a higher level! I suppose the work we all do together with him has…
One Surreal Night
Other than pouring my heart and soul into this blog and showering my family with love, I also tackle my grief by communicating with Erik every day. We have our casual chats. We tease each other with playful banter. We discuss how to help various members of the Channeling Erik family. In addition, every night,…
Another Erik Prank and the Universal Language of the Afterlife
Today, Erik came by to wish our housekeeper, Maria, a Happy Birthday. As you may already remember, Maria has been in our lives since Erik was 16 months old. The love between my children and her has always been undyingly strong, and Erik, in particular, enjoyed talking her ear off, teasing her, and giving her…
Ask Erik: Lois’s Questions
Enjoy, this, the last question during the session with Jamie on the 16 of August. Bear with me, folks, because I’m trying to work through three channeling sessions that were scheduled within one week. I applaud your patience. For all you newcomers, I strongly suggest you start at the very first entry and work your…
Ask Erik: Lidian’s Question
Sometimes we have family members with chronic illnesses that present a great deal of heartache and challenge. I had my fair share with my younger sister, Denise, who passed away several years ago after a life plagued by complications from Diabetes. It was heart-wrenching to witness her decline. The last several years, she lived with…
A Time for Miracles
As many of you know, grief hits the bereaved in waves. Over the weekend, with my mind uncluttered and free of the menial tasks of the work week, sadness poured into the open door like an unwelcome visitor who refused to leave. At my lowest point, Erik intervened with acts of merciful love. He saved…
