Here I sit in a Kroger parking lot typing this on my phone hoping my CE peeps can help me. Erik put a bullet through his brain at 1:20 P.M. almost three years ago on October 6th. Around that time, I can’t be in my house, because I imagine him sitting in that chair with…
Happy Birthday, Erik!
Today, I’d like to devote this entry to my beautiful son. I’m so proud of you, Erik. In three years, you’ve accomplished so much to make the world a better place. You’ve brought wisdom and love to us all. I’m so grateful to call you my son. I wish you were here for me to…
Can You Really Be a Pompous Ass in Heaven, Too?
Before we begin this typical Erik topic, I’d like to make a few announcements: 1) I’m very excited about the response to the San Diego event. If anyone has any questions, please ask them in the comment thread or email me at emedhus@gmail.com. I know one reader asked about bringing children along. I’m not sure…
Heaven’s Dollar Menu
Paul was so very touched by all of your heartfelt comments from yesterday’s post. He did want to say that the link I provided for his artwork was not functioning, so I changed it in that entry. It’s http://growingintothemystery.net/2012/01/17/first-some-art-2/ As for the San Diego event, I want to thank everyone for their patience! Jamie’s assistant, Weedie,…
A Message from Erik to the Channeling Erik Family
Blog member, Michael Hulse, from Bolton, UK, emailed me yesterday asking me to listen to this song by the artist, Pink. He believes Erik would have appreciated it. When I finished listening to the entire song, I felt the typical Erik goosebumps on my leg which meant a resounding YES! My eyes welled up with…
A World in Change
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I sure enjoyed a day of rest Sunday. I pretty much did nothing. Not even contemplate my navel. But I have discovered one thing in my respite: Being idle is not always easy for those of us who grieve. That empty space seems to suck up the darkness,…
What Erik Means to Us
Before we embark on this topic, I’d like to make a couple of announcements. First, Jamie and Erik’s next small group channeling session is scheduled May 3rd, and I’ll let you know when the sign up page it on her site. Second, this is my birthday weekend (yes, they keep on coming) and we plan…
Erik’s Easter Visit
Easter morning at his usually visitation hour (4:00 AM,) Erik surprised me with a delightful visit. These usually come when I’ve been particularly sad and missing him deeply. Profound family drama and hardships have punctuated our life lately, triggering more grief than usual, so his visit couldn’t have come at a better time. As a…
Channeling Jesus, Part One
As many of you know, I videotaped this channeling session of our interview with Jesus. However, the YouTube is now private, because Jamie has decided (and understandably so) not to publicize it as it might cause people to believe she espouses one religion above others. Eventually, when we interview religious leaders from all faiths, we’ll…
Channeling Amy Winehouse, Part Two
Jamie and Erik will host their next small group channeling conference call April 12th. The cost will be only $45 this time and she will let me know when the registration page will be available. And now for the next segment of the one and only Ms. Winehouse: Me: Okay, Did you have any particular…
Erik’s First Suicide Attempt
Many of you expressed an interest in knowing more about Erik, including his suicide attempt several months prior to his eventual death. As hard as it is for me to re-visit the experience, perhaps the details will give clarity to the pain from which he suffered. In the wee hours of the morning, Erik came…
The Big Erik Bang
I want to express my pride and gratitude for the Channeling Erik family for rallying in support of our dear Lynette. I’m sure you’ll continue to keep her in your prayers, sending her the healing energy she needs. I met her in Atlanta during the first CE event, and she’s such a gentle and loving…
Turning Back the Hands of TIme and Gross Feet
Me: Here’s an interesting question from a blog member: “I am curious if Erik has met or has knowledge of all the various Erik incarnations happening at the same time. Can Erik still influence the Erik that passed on in this latest incarnation?” I love that question. Can you, Erik? Can you meet and influence…
Duke’s Mixture
Here are several questions posed by readers back in September. Sorry about the lack of editing but I’ve been hit by a major grief tsunami. They come and go and are part of life’s landscape now. You know how that can be. No pity required. It just is what it is–and unwelcome houseguest that never…
Channeling John Belushi, Part One
Nikki tipped me off to this wonderful lady who will take Erik’s (and of course other’s) o’d t-shirts and makes them into cozy quilts. Imagine wrapping yourself up in that kind of love! And it looks reasonable too–between $150 to $175! Her telephone number is (636)225-1967. I’m hoping Rune gets the hint and gets one…
Why Visits Wane
Great news! The endlessly creative Endre Balogh is willing to offer his services to the Channeling Erik family. He will “angelize” you loved one for whatever amount you can afford. If you can’t afford anything, then you pay nothing. He sent me a metallic photograph of Erik and it’s stunning. Truly magnificent. Please check out…
Update on That Pesky Grief Thing
I know I’ve been a bit remiss in sharing my state of affairs in the grief department, and in most cases, things like this would bore people to tears. But in this case, it’s important for fellow bereaved to share experiences to know that there are parallels. No one is going crazy here. There is…
Erik Breaks Down
As you’ll see by this post, losing a body doesn’t mean you lose your emotions, your ability to worry and to grieve. On the flip side, they can still feel love, something Erik does best, as his grave marker (and I) can affirm. Channeling Transcript Me: Gosh, I don’t think we have time to interview…
Channeling Carl Sagan, Part Three
I don’t know how I forgot to publish this. It was supposed to be the entry for Thanksgiving. Sigh. Mark your calendars, Peeps. This Tuesday the 29th at 7:00 P.M. CST, Erik will once again be interviewed by Sheila Gale on her internationally renown radio show, The Sheila Show. Here’s the link: http://InstantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=24454047 Be sure…
Induced After Death Communication
Many of you have asked about IADC, induced after death communication. Developed by Dr. Al Botkin, it’s based on EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, reproducing REM sleep with horizontal eye movements to treat post traumatic stress disorder. Purely by accident, Botkin discovered that during EMDR sessions, some of his patients…
A Potpourri of Topics
Here’s the initial part of our channeling session from June 10th. Will I ever catch up? Actually, transcribing these sessions is very healing for me, because it’s like yet another conversation with my sweet son. Channeling Transcript from June 10th session Me: Hi Jamie, how are you? Jamie: Doing good. How are you? Me: Great….
Channeling Buddy Holly, Part One
Hello, my sweeties. Let me toss an idea out to you. I have lists of famous people to channel divided into these groups: Pop culture icons (which I’m doing now) The infamous (and downright evil) Historic figures and leaders Religious figures and leaders Famous artists, scientists, writers and composers Famous animals (Rin-Tin-Tin, Secretariat, etc) Various…
Channeling Steve Jobs, Part One
I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful weekend and is prepared for a week of Channeling Erik insight, camaraderie and inspiration. I’m very excited to announce that Erik was finally able to find Steve Jobs Friday, despite his recent passing. You’ll notice that Job’s ability to focus his communication clearly and control his choice…
