One of our Channel Erik family members wrote a lovely poem in honor of Erik. For me, it was enough for Paul to share his wisdom with us, so this is simply the icing on the cake. Read this one carefully and think about a loved one when you do. The words will tug at…
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,…
Ask Erik: Paul’s Questions
Paul’s Questions Dear Elisa, My name is Paul and I am 52 years old. I live in Hamilton NJ, just outside of Trenton. My son Jim died June 17, 2010 in Trenton NJ. My son was thirty years old when he died. He had been sick for some time, but my wife and I were…
A Poem for Erik
River of Tears Your death brings tears of grief and despair, That course down my face and into my soul. Once healed, my tears are longing to share, They join tears of others whose lives take their toll. From hardships and losses come lessons and pain, As that river of tears ebbs and…
Birthday Boy
Today, his 21st, was a day Erik looked forward to all of his life. The celebration at home will go on with his cake, his favorite dishes, songs and well wishes. I’m sure he’ll be sitting around the table with us. It’s still a sad day for me. The tears keep flowing from my eyes…
Ask Erik: Lee’s Question
Lee’s Question I’ve tried very hard to contact my son or have him come to me in a dream with no success. I want so badly to believe in an afterlife and that I will see him again someday and would love any contact with him. I’m past 70 and live in West Palm Beach…
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,…
Ask Erik: Pamela’s Questions
Pamela’s Question I first want to say I have enjoyed every post of your visits with your Son in the afterlife and I’m so sorry for your loss. After all the reading I know that Erik is happier now. I wasn’t real sure how to make a request for Erik and I saw you posted…
Danielle’s Gift
Danielle shared this song with me today, and it struck a deep chord of understanding. In truth, it took my breath away, because it perfectly encapsulates Erik’s life, my life, everything we’ve been learning together and the journey all of us are now taking. Surely, Danielle’s guides led her to this, entitled, Eric’s Song. Plus,…
New Media Gallery
Hey Guys! Check out the new Media Gallery page located just to the right of the “Now Reading” tab. This new page contains videos and photos of Erik. If you wish to start channeling Erik yourself, listen to his voice so you can recognize it when he talks to you!
Ask Erik: Julie’s Question
My heart breaks for this bereaved mother. How well I know her pain. I hope Erik and Jake can help her find some sliver of peace and joy in the darkness to which she and I have grown accustomed. Julie’s Question I lost my son Jake March 27 of this year. I do not know…
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…
Haunted
Sorry about yesterday, everyone. I am so thankful for your love and support. It was just one of those days when the images keep screaming inside my mind for hours on end: the blood, the brains, the quietness in his chest, the look on this face, the shape of his head, the smell of fresh…
Ask Erik: Joe’s Question
This next question comes from a husband and his wife who selflessly devoted the opportunity to help a family in need who lost their young daughter to suicide. I found it fascinating that Melanie, the deceased, behaved like a typical preteen girl even after she had crossed over. My heart warmed to know that Erik…
Ask Erik: Barbara’s Questions
First, I would like to apologize to Bruce. I thought I had posted his part of the channeling session on August 31st, but it was still in the drafts folder. I had forgotten to click “publish.” Oops. The ol’ brain ain’t what she used to be! Second, I’d like to say something about the Ask…
Dying to Live
After I told my daughter, Michelle, about Erik’s visit to Mariana, she felt happy for yet another sign of his continued existence, but she also felt a little sad that he had not given her a sign in such a long time. After all, Michelle and Erik were very close. They did nearly everything together….
Will the Real Erik Medhus Please Stand Up?
Yesterday, Danielle brought an astute observation to my attention. Although Erik does nearly all the “talking” when he shares his insight, what do we really know about him as a being? Clearly, some of his qualities shine through his actions and his words, but there is so much more to this complex spirit than meets…
Ask Erik: Nate’s Questions
Nate contacted me months ago about a dream he had where he was snowboarding in a beautiful hilly landscape. When I asked Erik about the dream, I really didn’t remember the details, because it had been a couple of months since Nate shared it with me. Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t believe Nate knew anything…
Ask Erik: Ty’s Question
I really enjoyed this question and the answers Erik provided, because it speaks to so many of us, maybe all of us. I had to chuckle at Erik’s mock impatience since he waited on the sidelines while various guardian angels answered Kelli’s questions. Watch how he plays the neglected little boy! I was also amazed…
Willie’s Story
For the last year or so, I’ve been drawn to a particularly delightful soul, Willie, a very hard-working sacker at my neighborhood grocery store who’s probably in his late 40s. No matter how others treat him or ignore him, no matter how merciless the heat or rain or cold, he always has a broad smile…
