First I’d like to give you an update on our Robert. This morning, he looked about the same. He claims he feels better, but his heart rate is over 140 and I’m concerned. I’m waiting to hear from his physician. His blood cultures came out positive for Staph, so they’ve changed his antibiotics. He only…
You Like-a Da Pepper?
Okay, for all of you who are a bit confused about the title, you probably don’t watch Saturday Night Live much. It’s a reference to a series of skits where Adam Sandler and Dana Carvey play “pepper boys” at an Italian restaurant. Really funny. But if you missed out, I’ve included one of the skits…
Numerical Sequences, 2012 and Manifestations
I would like to thank all of you for sending love and healing thoughts to my father. Hopefully, when we go back for all the tests next week, we’ll find out that he’s the healthiest 90 year-old on the planet. Here’s some pictures of him both young and recent. Isn’t he dashing? He looks like…
Playing with Ringo
As our frozen pipes thaw and our brains lick their wounds from the last couple of posts, I’d like to share a lighthearted story about a prank Erik played during my channeling session with Jamie yesterday. Five minutes before the session, I set myself up in the study and rigged up the digital voice recorder….
Maribelle’s Amazing Experience
Here’s a fantastic story a blog reader shared with me. Her experience was occurring while she typed the text below in an email she then sent to me. After you read this, perhaps you can offer her your insight. Personally, I think she was surrounded by spiritual boarders, but your input would be great! Hi…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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: 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…
Practical Jokes and What’s with All the Dragonflies?
I just had another session today with Erik and Jamie. Although I’ll share details when I transcribe that session, I want to share a preview with you, my sweet virtual family. When I called Jamie at our set appointment time, she was giggling when she answered the phone. She said she was really tickled, because,…
Ask Erik: Val’s Questions
Val’s Questions My maternal grandmother committed suicide before I was born, when my mother was only seventeen years old. She’s the one that found her similar to how you found Erik. I was born four years later, and needless to say it has had quite an impact on my family. This happened long ago and…
Peek-a-Boo with Erik
As is typical for me since Erik’s death, Sunday was difficult. All the down time leaves plenty of opportunity for the mind to wander into dark crevices it had managed to avoid the entire week. Such days of despair are less frequent than they were those first months, but I am resigned to the fact…
Ask Erik: Dana’s Question
These next questions comes from a very worried mother who changed her original requests after a serious family crisis occurred. She was worried for good reason, though. For me, asking such questions can be scary. I often have to hold my breath and pray as I await the response. Because of the sensitive nature of…
Channeling Session with Jamie Butler
I’ve been trying to find different psychic mediums to fit the various budgets of blog members. At the request of member, Steve, I made an appointment with Jamie Butler, a young psychic from Atlanta, Georgia. I found her to be very talented, soft-spoken and sweet. I would consider her to be in the medium (no…
Hanging with the Fam
As you know, Erik has visited many members of the Channeling Erik family and in many different ways. You can see examples in recent posts and in some comments. For instance, today, Steve told me he’s been practicing channeling Erik and his mother for awhile, and Erik finally came through for him. Here’s Steve’s email:…
