Channeling Erik

  • June30th

    I’d like to apologize for the delay in posting the Ask Erik questions from my June 17th channeling session with Kim O’Neill. I’ve been working every day to help out at a brand new clinic which, along with taking care of my grandbaby, my own kids and the household, leaves me squeezed for time. But now that the permanent docs have started, I’m ready to put my nose to the grindstone and crank these suckers out. Thanks for being so patient. The first question comes from Olivia. Let’s see if Erik can help her with an age-old problem.

    Olivia’s Question

    Hi,

    My name is Olivia and first off, I wanted to say thank you so much for your site. My friend showed this to me today and she showed me what she’d written and the answers. I was really surprised. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but I was a bit skeptical until I felt how sincere you are. To my questions: I’m 25 living in Hayward, California. I feel directionless and very unsure of what I want to do with my life. I have hobbies but no really heartfelt dreams or goals to follow. I’m also wondering about my love life. I feel it’s going nowhere too. In a nutshell, I’m stuck and floundering. Do you think Erik could throw me a rope?

    Thank you,

    Olivia

    Me: The first question today is from Olivia. She’s 25 and lives in Hayward, California. She’s basically looking for guidance as to what to do in her life. She says she doesn’t really have any heartfelt dreams or goals. She also feels like her love life is directionless. Any advice Erik?

    Erik’s Response

    Erik: I had no fucking idea at first so I had to ask her guides. Sometimes I have to do that.

    Kim: It’s so wonderful talking to Erik on so many levels. You never have to wonder what he’s thinking or feeling, I mean, he’s very straightforward. I love that.

    Me: Yep he’s pretty direct and honest. So what did you find out for Olivia, Erik?

    Erik: They say she’ll be married at 27 or 28, like between those two birthdays. She hasn’t met the person yet, though. She’s gonna have kids and she’ll move from Hayward. She’ll be staying in California though.

    Me: So what should she do with her life?

    Erik: She should write. She’s already been picking up on that, because her guides have been talking to her. They say her destiny is to write novels, like romance novels but not the cheesy ones. She’ll write more modern day romances that are funny. Kind of in the same style as “He’s Just Not That Into You;” she’ll get the idea. She’s funny. She’s got a real funny sense of humor. Oh, and her guides recommend she get started right away, cuz some of them will be made into movies.

    Me: Oh, good! I guess I get her autograph then!

    Erik: And if she says, “Well I don’t know where to begin;” yes she does! She needs to sit in front of the computer and just start typing away. As she does this, the story will begin to flow. She doesn’t have to wait until she has a story idea first. It’s not gonna unfold until she sits there and starts typing.

    Me: Yeah, that’s how my writing works too. It’s like the information is being channeled to me.

    Erik: Of course it is, Mom. Most writers get stuff channeled to them from their guides.

    Me: Maybe we should start including them in our acknowledgments.

    Erik: They don’t give a rat’s ass about credit. I know you’re kidding.

    Yep, Erik knows me better than I know myself, sometimes. As he’s said before, once he shed his body, he was able to see everyone for exactly who and what they are. Wish we didn’t have to wait until death to reach that level of understanding. Think of the drama we’d be spared!

  • June28th

    Around four o’clock in the morning, I received a pleasant surprise–a visit from Erik. I was lying down on my left side facing away from the edge of the bed hovering somewhere between the sleep state and the wake state when I suddenly felt a presence behind me. In my peripheral vision, I could easily make out a human form, although clearly not a sold one. The essence, the personality, the physical shape was all Erik. I smiled and told him I was thankful for his visit. He stood there smiling quietly for several minutes. I didn’t dare turn to look, because I know from experience that spirits are easier to visualize with the peripheral vision and often fade from sight when you look directly at them. Why? Does it have something to do with differences in the way certain regions in our brain or retina perceive various vibrations of energy?

    After my younger sister, Denise, passed away from complication of diabetes in 2001, I had a similar experience. Again, I was lying half-awake facing away from the bed’s edge at around four or five in the morning. I’m not sure why spirits choose the most god-awful times to visit, but I believe it has something to do with how quiet and receptive our minds are. Anyway, alongside my bed sitting on a small settee I could just make out a human form. It felt like an older male, very wise and peaceful. He gave off a bluish glow and radiated love and encouragement. His energy was indisputably that of Mr. McAnally, an old family friend who did various carpentry jobs around my childhood home from time to time. Denise was only around four years old when he began working for us, but, despite the age difference, they developed what would eventually become a life long friendship. During the time she was all into being a cowgirl wearing toy six-shooters and a cowboy hat, he build her a wooden horse. When she was a teenager, she’d visit him at his home in Round Mountain, Texas and they’d hunt and fish together. Denise often went to him for advice, because he had so much common sense and wisdom, and he loved her unconditionally. When he died, she was crushed.

    As Mr. McAnally’s spirit sat quietly next to my bed, I telepathically received a strong message that Denise was there with him. He was taking good care of her, and she was doing just fine. After making sure I understood, he slowly faded away.

    It must be difficult for spirits to appear in physical form on the earthly plane. Their energy vibrates faster than ours, well above wavelengths in the visible spectrum. So in order to manifest to us, they must slow down that vibration tremendously until the reach wavelengths in that part of the electromagnetic spectrum perceptible to the human eye and brain. In Mr. McAnally’s case, he was able to slow down to the blue part of the spectrum.

    At this point, I could care less about what wavelength Erik comes in. Purple, rainbow, yellow with red polka dots, green with fuchsia stripes, I’ll take anything. I just want him back in some way, shape or form.

    Many of you have written me wishing for more signs or manifestations from departed loved ones. From what I understand, you can make it much easier for them if you send frequent thoughts of love, if you visualize them in your mind, and if you give them virtual hugs. I’ve tried all of this, and the results have been dramatic. Erik says that interacting with spirits gives them the opportunity to practice working with their energy so that they become more skilled in physical manifestations on the earthly plane. No doubt they enjoy the love and attention too!

    All I can say is, Erik, you must have a lot of time on your hands now! I love his little pranks because it so confirms his comforting presence. It’s nice to know that, in death, he has only shed his body, not his lovely personality and playfulness. Nearly every day, he does something to make us chuckle. For instance, a couple of days ago, his sister-in-law, Amber, was driving to an appointment. Being a product of a highly musical family, she enjoys listening to her tunes to offset the monotony of the road. But when she picked up her phone to search through her playlist, she discovered her battery was stone cold dead. Denied. As much as she despises the over-processed, over-exposed sell-out music on the radio, she surrendered to its call. Better than road noise.

    A few expletives and sighs later, the first song came on. She gasps. Wow, this one’s actually good! In fact, it was the first song on her playlists of favorites. Hmm. Then comes the second song. Gasp. Another winner. Wait a minute, that’s the second song on my playlist! Probably coincidence? Maybe. Then, the third and fourth and fifth songs play, perfectly mirroring the sequence on her phone’s playlist. What are the chances? A billion to one? Higher? Couple that with the fact that Amber felt Erik’s mischievous presence in the passenger seat and I’d say he was up to his old tricks. Pretty damn good, Erik. Pretty damn good. I love it when he messes with us. It reminds me that we never die. We just live on to tease and play and love and comfort one another. How nice.

  • June23rd

    Just when we thought he had grown tired of his little pranks with our appliances, Erik strikes again…twice. His new gig…messing with televisions. His first TV appearance occurred at my eldest daughter’s apartment a couple of days ago. Sometimes she feels Erik’s presence when she goes upstairs to her bedroom at night. This apparently freaks her out every time. I, however, long for every ghostly visit from my baby boy. As she climbed the stairs Monday night, she felt his presence behind her. It was strong and indisputably him. Unnerved, she hurried up the last few steps and turned on every possible light (as if that would help protect her from her own fears.) Still feeling unsettled, she also turned on the television set in her bedroom hoping it would mask any ghostly sounds Erik might tease her with. When she pushed the button on the cable box, the TV began to flip from one station to the next at warp speed as if some invisible channel surfer on steroids was in control of the remote. This freaked my daughter out even more so she tried turning the TV off, waiting a few moments and then turning it on again. Same thing happened. I bet she slept fitfully that night with every light in the house shining brightly!

    The second occurrence happened this morning. One of my other daughters dropped her little girl, Arley, off at my house around seven o’clock so I could baby sit her while she went to work. I was pretty groggy, so I put on a Looney Tunes DVD in hopes that her two year old attention span would be captivated while I continued my snooze. No such luck. Instead, she began disemboweling the contents of every one of my dresser drawers. As soon as I said, “Well, Arley, I guess you aren’t the least bit interested in Bugs Bunny,” the television turned off. Seconds later, the DVD player turned off. Neither of us were anywhere close to the controls, including the remotes. The circuit had not blown, because the alarm clock and the other lights were functioning perfectly. So I dragged my body out of bed, playfully admonished Erik for his prank and turned the TV and DVD player on again. Both worked fine. For now.

    Next, I’ll share another prank Erik played on his sister-in-law, Amber. This one is really weird and unmistakably otherworldly. We’re talking Twilight Zone, here, folks. Prepare to be amazed (and comforted.) It’s nice to have you around so much, darling boy. Keep it comin’!

    Ever the mechanically minded, Erik has branched out from kitchen appliances to plumbing fixtures. He hasn’t totally abandoned the kitchen downdraft vent, mind you, as it has continued to rise up out of the countertop at his command. In my last channeling session with him on the 18th of this month, he confessed to being the mastermind of this practical joke. The service technician is baffled and can offer no reasonable explanation, but I doubt he is up to any offers of a spiritual connection from the Other Side. I’ll just leave it as a play toy for Erik.

    He’s been busying himself in other rooms as well. While one of my daughters was in my bathroom ravaging through my make up drawer several days ago, my husband’s sink faucet suddenly turned on. By itself. Michelle was at least three or four feet away. She knew immediately that it was Erik up to his old tricks again and admonished him in her usual tongue in cheek manner. They’ve always been close and loved teasing and playing with one another. I suppose some things never change, even after death. In that same channeling session through Kim O’Neill, Erik proudly admitted this remarkable feat, too. Obviously, his ability to manipulate energy on the earthly plane has improved dramatically. I’m glad he’s using his burgeoning skills to have a little fun and to remind us that he is and will always be around us. He’s becoming quite the handy man over there. Little prankster. :-)

  • June18th

    Okay, I know this is my second post in a day, but call me the incorrigible overachiever; what can I say? Actually, this post comes from reader demand. Many of you want to know more about Kim, the psychic who channels Erik for me. She’s been on several radio and TV shows. She’s helped local law enforcement and the F.B.I. solve many cases. She’s written several wonderful books. Most important, she’s a delightful, upbeat spirit with a big heart.

    I’ve known Kim for many years, decades, really. She’s performed hundreds of reading for us, and the information has proven to be uncannily accurate and helpful. Let me give you several examples:

    1) When I was pregnant with my fourth child who is now seventeen, I asked Kim what sex it’d be and if it would have any birth defects. She predicted the baby would be a male and that he’d be born with the use of vacuum forceps. She also said he’d have a small brown spot on his left wrist. All of these are completely true. Lukas’s birth went just as she predicted 17 years ago, and he still has a half inch pigmented spot on his left wrist. How much more specific can you get?

    2) My husband, Rune, is a pilot, and we had our own plane for several years. In one reading, she warned him about a pinpoint leak in one of the fuel tanks. He dismissed this as incorrect, because you just don’t get pinpoint holes in an aluminum fuel tank. He figured she was having an off day. But lo and behold, after the plane underwent its regular inspection and maintenance, the mechanic called Rune and told him, “You have a pinpoint leak in your reserve fuel bladder.” Rune thought Kim was referring to the main fuel tanks; he hadn’t even thought about the reserve ones.

    3) When I was pregnant with my fifth child, I again asked Kim what the sex would be and how the birth would go. She told me I would have a girl, but the birth would be a few weeks early because of a problem with my blood. I asked her for clarification, and she told me they’d have to take the baby by c-section because my white blood cell count would be elevated. Indeed, my little girl, Annika, now 15 years old, was born by emergency c-section a few weeks early, because I had developed an acute appendicitis. My white cell count was through the roof!

    4) My husband is Norwegian, so we try to visit his family at least once a year. In one reading, Kim told me that while driving in the countryside in Norway, we would come across a motor vehicle accident at an intersection. A young girl would be seriously injured; I would help to stabilize her (I’m a physician plus I’ve stayed at Holiday Inn Express) and my family would be looking on in awe as I worked feverishly until the ambulance arrived. My first thoughts were, “We never ride around in the country in Norway. We just hang out at relative’s houses,” and “There are more moose than vehicles in Norway; what’s the chance of two cars crashing at an intersection?” Again, I was skeptical about her accuracy on this particular prediction. Nevertheless, a couple of years later, we did indeed go for a drive in the country, we did come across an accident, there was a young girl who was lying on the pavement, I did diagnose her as having a ruptured spleen and stabilized her until the paramedics arrived, and my family was hovering over me with wide-eyed stares and mouths agape. For the first time, they saw me as a competent physician rather than an often forgetful, clumsy and easily distracted mom. When we all got back into the car, my husband asked me if I realized what had just happened. After giving him a puzzled look, he reminded me of Kim’s prediction. It sent shivers down my spine.

    There are so many stories and so little time. For anyone interested in learning more about Kim, I’ve added her link to my home page.

    They say that the spirits of our departed loved ones enjoy staying in contact with us and try to get our attention in numerous ways in an effort to continue their relationship with us in the afterlife. The easiest ways for them to do so is by visiting us in dreams and by manipulating electrical energy. Some will appear on computer screens, some will cause the lights to flicker, some will cause a radio to play a meaningful song, some will call us on the telephone, and some will cause our appliances to go haywire. Last week, after a long and discouraging dry spell, Erik communicated with us in a way that left no doubt it was him.

    Here’s the backstory. After twenty years of abuse from our five children and a variety of pets from snakes and bunnies to dogs and cats, we decided to suck it up and remodel our kitchen. Thankfully, we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and one by one our kitchen appliances are returning to their homes. We had to replace our downdraft vent with a new one, however, because on its side are irresistible buttons that make it go up and down and up and down and the kids just couldn’t resist them. After a couple of decades, those buttons threw in the towel and drew their last breath. Another important part of the backstory is that Erik adored the kitchen. First, he loved to cook. Second, when he had nothing else better to do, he would pace around the center kitchen island with his arms crossed. He’d pace and pace and pace until I’d start to get motion sickness watching him and begged him to stop. Our old tile is a testament to the wear and tear he caused. I actually miss seeing the grooved track around the island.

    That said, after the new vent was installed, it seemed to work perfectly. Then one day, when my husband walked into the kitchen from the backyard, the vent mysteriously began to rise. He was the only one in the kitchen and was at least 20 feet away. At first, he thought nothing of it and called the technician to replace all of the parts that are responsible for the vent’s movement, including the pad with all the buttons and the wiring to it. You’d think that would have fixed the problem, but no. Last night when my husband entered the kitchen, the vent slowly began to rise, AGAIN!

    Electrical appliances simply don’t turn off and on by themselves. Imagine if your blender suddenly started to whir? This would probably unnerve you enough to fill it full of margarita fixings with a little extra tequila for good measure.

    We are certain that this is Erik trying to tell us, “Hey, sorry it’s been a while, but I’m here.” He’s probably still pacing around the kitchen island from time to time, wearing out my brand new tile. I say, “Wear away, Erik! New tracks are waiting to be made!” He also made his presence known in two other ways, I guess in an effort to make up for lost time! Stay tuned for these amazing events in upcoming posts.

    Erik the Prankster

  • June16th

    Here is the last question in this incredibly long list of submissions to the Ask Erik venue. Let’s see what kind of detective Erik is!

    Sarah’s Question

    Hello, and thank you for sharing your experiences with those of us who have also lost loved ones and are looking for answers.

    My question for Erik is this: What happened to my Mom? She died very suddenly, alone, at home in Paw Paw, Michigan at the age of 46. She was found by her sister-in-law. She was born 9/4/62 and died 2/13/09. Her name was Martha.

    There have always been questions surrounding her death, and I am still not certain of what it was that actually took her life.

    Can you please help me with this? I want to know that she is okay.

    Sarah

    Channeling Transcript

    Me: Okay, the last Ask Erik questions for this session are from Sarah Waynick. She’d like to know what happened to her mother, Martha, who died suddenly at home in Paw Paw, Michigan when she was alone. She was found by her sister-in-law. Her age is 46 and her date of death was 2/13/09. What happened?

    Erik: I’m hearing natural causes. Her guardian angels say natural causes. The sister-in-law had nothing to do with it. She was totally shocked, stunned. She wasn’t poisoned or anything like that. Kinda weird that her angels would mention that.

    Me: Yeah, that’s weird. Sarah didn’t seem to indicate any foul play.

    Erik: Yep, it was something to do with the heart, Mom. And it was her destiny to pass when she did.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: Martha always sensed she wouldn’t live to be really, really old, and she actually told people that. But she didn’t really know it was gonna happen when it did. You know, she hadn’t been feeling real well for some time before she died, but she wasn’t’ the kind of person who would talk about her physical health like, (in a whiny voice) “Oh, I don’t feel well.” She would be the one to take care of everyone else. So she wouldn’t have told anyone she wasn’t feeling good. She literally dropped dead, Mom.

    Me: Is she doing okay? Any messages at all?

    Erik: Oh, I’m hearing it was related to the mitral valve.

    Me: Yeah, that makes sense, given her young age.

    Erik: She says, “Sarah is very dear to me. Tell her that I love her. Tell her that I could not be more proud of her. Tell her that I’m right here with her. I’ll be there when she gets married. I will be there when she gives birth. I will be there for all of her…when she graduates. I will be there for all of her triumphs.” Martha’s saying that all of these things are in front of her. So let’s say that Sarah says she’s already graduated; obviously that means she’s gonna go back and take another course and graduate again.

    Me: Sure, I understand.

    Erik: Wow, Martha’s expressing this huge, tremendous, profound love for Sarah and oh, oh, she wants Sarah to know this cuz it’s very important! Sarah will not die the way she did. Sarah’s heart is just fine. It’s not hereditary. Her heart valves and arteries and everything are just fine.

    Kim: That is good to know!

    Me: Yes, it sure is.

    Next channeling session, I plan to delve more into the nature of Erik’s death, the afterlife and other spiritual matters. There will be a few questions from readers, but not as many as this time. I’ll also relay recent pranks and visitations from Erik that have provided me with a great deal of solace and comfort…commodities I have sorely needed in these last few months.

    Thanks, my little Sherlock Holmes. Until Thursday, Sweetie.

  • June14th

    Here is the next Ask Erik submission from a bright young woman with any questions about her direction in life.

    Randi’s Question

    Hi Elisa,

    I stumbled across your Web site fortuitously. I was searching for Felix Lee Lerma (who I have seen before) and your posts came up. I am captivated by you, Erik, your story and your complete willingness to share something so private and sacred. Thank you so very much for bringing Erik into the lives of others.

    At present, I feel quite lost. I do have an appointment with Felix in a little over a month, but I feel the urge for guidance. And I like to think that finding your Web site and reading Erik’s story was not an accident at all. :) I was hoping that while I wait for my time with Felix – which always proves valuable – you would be willing to speak to Erik on my behalf.

    I feel that I am at a major crossroads personally and professionally and I feel like a failure in several different ways. I’m unsure where to go in my career, how to readjust my finances, and where to go with certain personal relationships. I was hoping Erik could provide some guidance. I am feeling such anxiety that it’s manifesting itself physically and I am sick all the time and can’t sleep at night.

    I appreciate your time and understand if you are unable to speak to Erik for me.

    Randi

    After letting her know that Erik and I would be happy to help, I receive another email from Randi:

    Hi Elisa,

    Thanks so much for your quick reply. I am 28 and live in San Francisco. I very much appreciate your (and Erik’s!) help and any insight he might have.

    Your blog is wonderful and I plan to check it often. It’s amazing how experiences like the ones you have with Erik could turn even the firmest non-believer into a believer. After my last session with Felix, I decided to pass along some of the messages I had for people and it was amazing how well-received the information was – especially among people who I thought would greet me with skepticism. It seems like Erik is not only helping you in your journey to healing, but you are helping him adjust, as well. I will certainly spread the word of his blog and the work you two are doing.

    Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you!

    Much love,

    Randi

    Channeling Transcript

    Erik: Next?

    Me: Eager, aren’t we, Erik?

    Erik: Oh, yeah.

    Me: Okay, the next question comes from Randi W. She’s 28 and lives in San Francisco. Basically she feels like she’s at a crossroads professionally and personally. She’d like some direction in her career, her finances and her personal life, including personal relationships. Her confusion is making her sick and gives her a great deal of anxiety.

    Erik: Okay, let’s talk about her health first. Her angels tell me she worries way too much. She’s stressed and worried all the time. She’s always been a kind of worrier, though. Medication is not gonna help at all. Wow, her angels have lots of information. I mean, seriously, Mom, this could take at least a half hour.

    Me: Hmm, we really don’t have that time, though, so what can you tell me that will help her the most?

    Erik: Okay, here’s the overview. Dump all dairy, She can’t tolerate lactose. It’s just making things worse. It’s causing bloating and other stuff and with Randi, even a little bit goes a long way cuz she’s real intolerant to it. Also, she’ grind and clenches her teeth when she sleeps. She needs to talk to her dentist about a mouth piece, like a bite guard. If she doesn’t she could have problems with her jaws and mess up her teeth and wake up with headaches a lot.

    Me: Yeah.

    Erik: And she doesn’t sleep good either.

    Me: Yeah, that’s what she says, actually!

    Erik: She’s like you, Mom. She has a hard time turning her brain off. She tosses and turns and worries and frets. That’s not gonna help. Her angels want you to tell her that before she goes to sleep at night, she needs to say, “Brain, shut down!” That’s all she needs to do and with practice it’s gonna work.

    Me: Yeah, but Erik, what about her being at a crossroads and needing…

    Erik: I’ll get to that, Mom. But first, she really needs to know that she shouldn’t get dependent on medicines. She needs to do this on her own. No chemicals. Now, about the crossroads, she feels like that because she is. She’s just started a new chapter in her life. You know this is very common in years that are multiples of seven. In this chapter, she’s gonna get involved in a new relationship that’ll be heart, mind, body and soul!

    Me: Awesome!

    Erik: Yeah, and she’s gonna have kids. Not sure if she’ll have ‘em herself or adopt, but I don’t see any fertility issues. If she adopts it’ll be a choice.

    Me: Has she met this new person yet?

    Erik: No, she hasn’t Now, about her life’s work. She’ll be an entrepreneur. She’ll own her own business and work at home. She’s going to start an Internet company of some sort. She’s not doing that now. Her angels are telling me she hates long commutes so it’s good she’ll be doing this all from home. Also, she’s the kind of girl who wants to be creative and she wants to raise the ceiling on her income.

    Me: We’ll that’s good that she’ll be able to work from home since she’ll be having kids!

    Erik: Yep. Plus, the business is gonna be shockingly lucrative. She’s very independent and empowered and she doesn’t want to kiss anyone’s ass for a damn thing. And she won’t have to when she has this business. Two of her issues have to do with being independent and empowered, so no matter who she’s connected to in a relationship, she’ll make her own income so she doesn’t have to ask anyone for anything. But she’ll mix her money with a partner, but it’s really important for her to have this business as completely her own and earn her own money. She knows she’s working on these two issues. Now she’s gonna have a bunch of questions like what business is it, how can I get into it, blah, blah, blah, and she just needs to ask her guardian angels and they’ll give her the information step by step by step. She knows she wants her own business; she’s just not sure what kind.

    Me: Wow, that’s all wonderful information, Erik. Thanks so much!

    Erik: No problemo.

    Randi’s Response

    Hi Elisa,

    Oh my goodness. Reading this brings tears to my eyes – it is so shockingly accurate (well, the things regarding my personality and how I feel at present, anyway). I have recently said to friends that I feel like a bunch of things are shifting around me, like things are changing, but I can’t explain it. I certainly worry WAY too much – something that is pointed out by people constantly – and I am struggling with maintaining the level of financial independence and sense of personal achievement I feel that I should have by now. I also hate kissing ass – my boss recently scolded me and told me I’m “too east coast” in that regard. :)

    The teeth clenching/grinding is interesting to me because I have recently had inexplicable jaw pain and can’t figure out why; I have a dentist appointment coming up in a couple of months, so I will certainly bring this up.

    Indeed, I do hate commuting and it makes me laugh that he pointed that out! I complain about my car all of the time and walk to work – a friend of mine is actually using my car right now just because I don’t want to deal with it. Too funny.

    For the past couple of months, it has taken me at least an hour to fall asleep every night and it’s been driving me crazy; sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep for hours. I appreciate Erik’s tip and will give it a try tonight!

    Thank you so much for speaking with Erik for me. I wish I could have known him when he was here on earth – he sounds like a really special person. You should be very proud. :)

    I look forward to reading the transcript!!

    Thanks again and much love,

    Randi

    My Response

    You are most welcome, although I didn’t really do anything. It was all Erik. I’m just his secretary. He says he has tons more information to give you. Maybe you can try channeling him directly. If you can find one of the videos on the blog and hear his voice, it might help you determine when he’s speaking to you or not. If you need anything else, let me know. Enjoy Felix, he’s awesome! He paraphrases while Kim says word for word what Erik tells her, but they’re moth wonderfully talented.

    xo

    Elisa

    Randi’s Response

    Oh, I will definitely try that! Sounds a little daunting, though – I have never tried to channel someone! I will definitely check out the videos – you’re right, that might help. And Felix certainly is wonderful. It’s been about 8 months since my last visit and I am very much looking forward to it again.

    Thanks again so much for your help! I will tell Erik thanks, too. :)

    Randi’s Update

    Hi Elisa!

    Sorry for the delay – I was out of town and totally overlooked your email! Are you feeling famous yet?! How much has your Web site traffic spiked? I’m so psyched for you! Everything is coming together, just ass Erik said it would …

    Lots is new for me. I know I mentioned I feel like I was at a crossroads and Erik confirmed it, so I decided to make a decision to move closer to my family in Orlando. My sister is moving there in a couple of weeks (she’s actually in your neck of the woods, Houston, and graduated from Rice a few years ago) and it just feels like the timing is right. My old boss actually offered me a great job and as long as the details work out (salary, the usual), it looks like I’ll be out there. Erik’s advice really brought me a lot of peace and once I started to ask for what I wanted, things seemingly started to fall into place and I feel much better. I’m just keeping my head down and moving forward!

    I actually visited with Felix a couple of weeks ago and was a little disappointed. I love sitting with him because he’s such a good soul, but I felt like he was a bit off. I can’t really put my finger on it, but he didn’t really connect with anyone and I felt like some of his insight and advice wasn’t as spot on as last time. He’s only human, so perhaps it was just an off day. I have been contemplating booking an appointment with Kim (Rebecca said she has, so I am waiting on her feedback:)), so I’ll let you know. Hopefully you can get some free visits out of your referrals. ;)

    Thinking about you and your family always! I also say hi and thank you to Erik now and then. :)

    xoxo,

    Randi

    There’s one last Ask Erik submission from this channeling session. I’ll post that one on Wednesday. After that, I have three recent visits Erik has paid us that are truly remarkable, funny and uplifting. Stay tuned. And to all readers, please spread the word about this site, encourage your friends and co-workers to subscribe. This isn’t about advertising revenue or selling any product or service, because as you can see, my site does neither. It’s about making Erik’s death as well as his life in Heaven meaningful, productive and an avenue for contributing to others. :)

    Today, we have a question submitted from a concerned aunt. I only wish I had had enough time to answer all of her questions in more detail.

    D.B.’s Question

    Hi Elisa and Erik,

    I visit your blog daily and am amazed at some of the information Erik is providing. After reading the type of questions being posed to Erik I would like to submit a few new questions. As noted below my nephew John passed on February 20, 2010. He had just turned 21 a few weeks earlier. I would like Erik to ask John what happened the night or morning he passed. I would also like to know how he is and who he spends his time with. Does John have any messages for his brother or cousins? Any information provided would be really appreciated.

    Thank you again for being so unselfish with the time you have with Erik while channeling with Kim.

    Channeling Transcript

    Me: The next person with a question is D.B. Her nephew, John XXXXXX, died just a few weeks short after his 21st birthday this past February in Tampa. She’d like to know what happened that night or the morning he passed? She’d also like to know who he spends time with and if he has any messages for his brother and cousins. D.B. is 52.

    Kim: Do you know what his death was ruled as?

    Me: She didn’t say.

    Kim: Because 30% of the time the ruling is incorrect. The deceased’s account is different from the medical examiner’s account a third of the time. So suicides are often ruled as murders and accidents, etc.

    Me: Wow, really?

    Kim: Yeah. Okay, let’s see if Erik has John with him. Yes, here he is. Big smile. Great big smile. Erik what does he say?

    Erik: This was John’s destiny. He’s telling me he was alone. He has a big smile. His energy is really outgoing and happy-go-lucky. He’s also very giving and would do anything for anybody. He’s a really nice dude. I really like him a lot. We’re good friends now. We don’t do anything together, because we do our own thing, but we’re friends.

    Me: Well that’s good!

    Erik: He’s already working here. He’s a fishing guide. He takes spirits out on boats for the day on excursions, and they fish. He loves that. He loves water; he likes boats; he loves being out on the water, he loves stuff like that. He’s wearing a multi-colored shirt, a pair of shorts and flip-flops, and he has a hat on. The dude loves to kick back on a boat.

    Me: So what about D.B.’s question, Erik.

    Erik: Well, he says it was his time to pass, but he didn’t know he was gonna die when he did. His death wasn’t premeditated. It was a surprise to him. And when his soul popped out of his body he was like. “Whoa! Wow!” It wasn’t like, “Oh, thank God!” He was very surprised. And then he felt this enormous sense of peace and contentment and he knew, then, that it was his time, because he remembered what his destiny was. There were tons of people here to greet him like grandparents. And I see women dressed in black with black stockings. It looks like they’d be from like Italy or Greece, but I’m not sure. They look like they’re from the old country. Oh, and he already has a girlfriend. She has long blond hair and blue eyes. She’s real hot looking like a supermodel, and she’s tall and slender. He says he is very happy.

    Me: Any messages?

    Erik: He wants his brother to know it’s not his fault, you know, his death. He’s telling him, “I want you to live on the earthly plane for both of us. You need to go for the gusto, man. Live full out, and quit holding back. Do whatever it is you want to do when you want to do it.”

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: And he’s talking about setting goals and building the life he dreams of. He says his brother is not going to be happy with a regular nine to five job living in a home in the suburbs with a Toyota van in the garage. His brother’s gonna be happiest traveling and being an adventurer and doing what he wants to do instead of worrying about a nine to five job with an asshole job. He needs to put his dreams into reality or they’ll never happen. John is concerned that his brother is going to settle for a nine to five job with two weeks of vacation a year working 40 to 60 hours a week. It’ll be a mediocre job and he’ll hate it. John says, “You need to live for yourself instead of settling.”

    Looking back on this transcript, I realized that the question about the specific circumstances surrounding John’s death had not been answered, at least to my satisfaction. If D.B. gives me the green light, I’d like to clarify that and get specific names for the relatives and friends he’s with. This channeling session was challenging, because I had so many questions from so many people. An hour is just not enough to delve into details. That said, for future readings, I plan on asking fewer questions and spending more time with each. Hopefully, Erik provided something useful for D.B.  Thank you, my precious boy. Come visit soon!
