    Ask Erik: Gina’s Question

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Crossing over, Death, Death of a sibling, Dreams, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Kim O'Neill, Loss of a sibling, Love, Mental illness, Messages from the dead, Near Death Experiences, Past lives, Psychic medium, Reincarnation, Sibling relationships, Spirit visitation, Struggles, Suicide

    The next question for Erik comes from a dear friend and coworker of mine. She’s a very gentle spirit with a kind heart, so it was difficult to learn that she experienced a tragedy similar to mine. In August of 2009, her brother took his life the same way Erik did, by gunshot wound to the head. Every time I think about what she and her family had to go through, I feel her pain as if it were hers. I know exactly what she must have gone through and I understand just how tortured her path must be since her loss. Let’s see what Erik has to say. I’ve changed his name to initials in order to protect the family’s privacy.

    Gina’s Question

    Elisa,

    As you already know my brother A. is often on my mind. I have been wanting to ask Erik a question for a while and finally have the courage to do so. I lost him last August to suicide. It came as a complete shock to myself as well as my whole family. He left behind a brother, wife, mother, 3 sisters, as well as many others who loved him. He also died a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. I would just like to hear his thoughts and if he is with any of the family we’ve loved and lost before. A.T.A. 11/5/74. Thank you, love u.

    Gina

    Channeling Transcript

    Me: Okay Erik, my next question comes from Gina, a very sweet girl who is the manager of one of the clinics I work in. In August,, her brother, A. committed suicide by gunshot wound just like Erik did.

    Kim: Mm hm.

    Me: His full name is A.T.A. He was born in 1974.

    Kim: So he was thirty…

    Me: Yeah, let’s see…thirty-six years old.

    Kim: Okay. Alright. And did she give you any indication where they are?

    Me: Dang-it! Well she lives here, if that helps. Maybe he lived around here too?

    Kim: That’s okay.

    Me: For future reference, what information do you and Erik need, exactly?

    Kim: It would be groovy if you could provide the ages of the person who’s asking the question and the deceased and where they were when they passed…if they know. Even if they say, “I think they were somewhere in their twenties,” that’s okay.

    Me: Oh, okay.

    Kim: I don’t have to have it, but it would be nice. It would help me work faster.

    Me: Okay.

    Kim: Gina is her sister?

    Me: Yes.

    Kim: And what would she like to ask?

    Me: She just wants his thoughts and whether he’s with family that they’ve loved and lost before.

    Kim: Okay, let’s ask…

    Erik: A’s here with me, Mom. He’s also very repentant that he did it. He did it, um, it was premeditated, he’s saying. So it wasn’t an accident.

    Kim: A, why did you do it, if we may ask?

    Erik: He’s shaking his head really hard, and he’s really upset with himself. He’s in a real different situation from Essie’s son, Charles, cuz he’s been to therapy here and is really working hard exploring why he did it, and he says he’ll never do it again. He’s going to be coming back as one of Gina’s children either in this lifetime or the next.

    Kim: How old is Gina, would you guess?

    Me: I have no idea. She’s one of those people who it’s hard to tell. She could be in her late twenties to mid-thirties, I guess.

    Erik: He’s gonna come back as a boy, and she doesn’t need to worry cuz he’s never gonna do it again. He’s saying this right away, because he doesn’t want her to worry. He swears on his soul that he’ll never do it again. And he doesn’t want the same name. He wants a different name. Oh, and he says he loves Gina, and they’ve had many lifetimes together as siblings. He wants to thank her for all the support she gave him, and he says she’s the only one who could see him for who and what he really was in this lifetime. He’s saying she was the only one, and she was really supportive even when he was being an asshole.

    Me: That sounds a lot like Gina.

    Erik: Mom, A. was depressed, and he hid it from everyone, so his death was really shocking to the family. Gina has wondered, “Did I miss something. Did he say something that would have led me to know that he was contemplating this? How did I miss it? Why didn’t he tell me?”

    Me: Yeah.

    Erik: He’s telling me that he kept a lot of secrets. He was very secretive. He was closest to Gina out of anyone in his whole life, and he never breathed a word of it to her. There were a couple of times before then from the time he was 18 that he wanted to kill himself, but he didn’t. He stopped. He wanted to do it in a way so no one could resuscitate him.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: Oh, and he says he tried to commit suicide once before, but he was brought back. It didn’t look like a suicide. He thought this time he needed to do it so no one could bring him back. At first he felt this huge unbelievable relief as soon as his soul popped out of his body. He says he felt no pain; it happened too fast. So when his soul left his body he felt this immediate relief, and he was so excited, and then he started feeling really regretful because of what was going to happen when he was found and because now the family would have to go on without him.

    Me: Yeah, I know how that all feels.

    Erik: Yeah, right. So then he suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten: what his destiny was, what he was supposed to do to help others, etc.

    Me: So this was not his destiny, obviously.

    Erik: Exactly.

    Me: What was his destiny?

    Erik: He was gonna live into his eighties. He was supposed to be there for Gina, to get even closer to her. They were supposed to be closer and closer over time. But he’ll be with her in the physical as her child next time he incarnates. If Gina has another child, it’ll be this lifetime. If not, it’ll be the next one. He’s come to her in dreams. He wants her to try to visualize his face right before she goes to sleep and talk to him. He’ll hear her and talk back. He’s been trying to give her messages, but she hasn’t been receptive yet.

    It’s comforting to know that when we lose a loved one, it’s never forever. Eventually, we reunite, if not in the physical, in the spiritual. Since time really doesn’t exist in the afterlife, reunions may seem to occur in the blink of an eye. To us, however, it seems like an eternity, but an eternity well worth the wait.

    Ask Erik: Essie’s Question

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Bereaved, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Death of a Child, Death of a sibling, Dreams, Energy, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Kim O'Neill, Loss of a sibling, Messages from the dead, Psychic medium, Spirit visitation, Struggles, Suicide

    My heart goes out to this next woman, because she and I share similar tragedies. Both our boys took their own lives very recently at the tender age of 20. Let’s see if Erik can help console and heal Essie as he has helped me.

    Essie’s Question

    Hi Elisa,

    Thank you for being willing to help with the Fair, I am copying Kristina XXXXX, our WONDERFUL coordinator extraordinaire. Thank you also for getting in touch and offering to ask Erik through your medium friend about Charles. He was 20 when he died. He was born in London, we have been living in NY for the past 15 years. I would like to know why he did it, when did he decide, how long had he been thinking about it, had he already decided when he saw his sister on Monday afternoon? Was it because of the girl he fancied? Was he depressed? When did he start being depressed? Did he know how much I/we loved him and love him still?  How was he able to get past security to the 10th floor? Why didn’t he say anything to us in his note? Why did he not mention me or his sister?  I wan to be able to speak directly to him, how can I do this? Is it him who does the CD thing in the car and who rang the door bell once? What does he think of the movement I am creating? Is there anything he wants us to know, to do? Does he know how much this hurts and how much his sister is struggling?

    Is it too many questions? I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU.

    Love,
    Essie

    My Response

    Thanks Essie for all the information. I’ll have to tell you it brought tears to my eyes to see the photo of your darling boy…the happiness in his eyes.

    I don’t think I’ll be able to get to all of these questions but I’ll try. What about asking these:

    How is he?

    Why did he do it?

    Has he tried to make contact and how?

    Who is there with him?

    Channeling Transcript

    Me: Getting tired, Erik?

    Erik: Me? Shit no. I can go 24/7!

    Me: Well I know it takes some energy, so I appreciate you hanging on for me.

    Erik: Sure.

    Me: Okay, now the next question comes from Essie. She lost her 20 year-old son, Charles, who recently when he jumped from a building. First, she basically wants to know how he is.

    Kim: So we’re asking how he is?

    Me: Yes.

    Kim: Okay, let’s ask Erik.

    Erik: Oh, Mom, he’s very, very, very upset. He’s very repentant. It wasn’t really his destiny to die this young. He is hugely remorseful and wishes he could have it all over again, you know, turn back time. His destiny was to become a doctor, and he would have helped a shitload of people if he had just taken the time to rethink his decision. And now that he’s not on the earthly plane to help them, they’re going to have to find someone else to help. Charles is saying this is making it difficult for everybody. Some of them won’t be healed because he checked out early, and they won’t find someone else to help. He knows there is no way he can make it up to these people. He’s so sorry, Mom. He’s pleading for forgiveness from everyone. He said he was very depressed, and he was very anxious about school. He felt inadequate and incapable of moving forward and doing what he was supposed to do. Oh, and he also says there was a girl involved.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: It feels like unrequited love, but he says, “It was no one else’s fault but my own.” Now Mom, when he says there was a girl involved, he doesn’t mean she pushed him…

    Me: Oh God, no. I understand what he means.

    Erik: So basically is was depression, anxiety, fear about the future and fear of being a disappointment. Wait. He’s telling me something. (five second pause) Oh, he says his mother didn’t push him or anything. His mother did nothing but give him love, support and encouragement and affection. He loves her and wishes he could have time to come back, enjoy her cooking and sit at the table with her and thank her for her cooking and just sit there with her in the physical. He wishes he could do that and he can’t .

    Me: Is there anyone there with him?

    Erik: He’s shaking his head no and he says he chooses to stay alone. I spent some time talking to him and connecting with him, because I connect with anyone you’re gonna ask about so they’ll be ready to communicate.

    Me: That’s a good idea!

    Erik: He says he chooses to be alone. He wants to chastise himself. It’s not really like sulking. I’m trying to get him to get into therapy here, but he’s too busy ripping himself a new one, you know?

    Me: Yeah.

    Kim: He’s a darling young man.

    Me: It sure seems like it. Oh, and she also wants to know if Charles needs anything from the family.

    Kim: Very good question! You know, I love that question, because often human beings ask, “What can be done for me?” Erik, any requests from Charles?

    Erik: Yes, he needs them all to forgive him and pray for him. They can just visualize him in their heads and speak to him, telling him they forgive him and love him. He needs to know that he’s forgiven, but he’s been afraid to ask, because he feels he doesn’t deserve it. Mom, tell Essie that was the big issue while he was in the physical. He felt undeserving.

    Me: Has he tried to contact them, Erik?

    Erik: Yes he has…to apologize like coming to them in dreams. He’s showing me a young woman that would have been about his same age like a sister or a girlfriend, brown hair, brown eyes. He’s also contacted his Mom. And the father…is the dad not in the picture?

    Me: Oh, I don’t know.

    Erik: Oh, okay. But he’s saying he’s tried to communicate with them. Mom, include this in your blog. Tell the readers any time they wanna communicate with a departed loved one, all they have to do is talk with them themselves and they’ll talk back!

    Me: Good, okay…

    Erik: Oo! Wait a sec, Mom. He has something to say to his mom. He says, “Tell Mom that now I’m willing to listen. And before when I was on the earthly plane, Mom would talk and I would be like, ‘Blah, blah, blah, blah.’” He’s showing himself with his hand like making that gesture like someone’s talking, “blah, blah, blah.” He says he always loved his mom, but she used to repeat herself a lot, and it used to frustrate and annoy him, but now he’d give anything to be able to sit and listen to her. He realizes that it was just his immaturity. He says, “It wasn’t her. She’d just repeat things if she thought I wasn’t listening, and I wasn’t! I wasn’t listening! Mom was right to do that.” He promises that if she or anyone else in the family talks to him, he’ll listen and show respect.

    Essie’s Response

    Dear Elisa,

    Thank you for this. Of course the LAST thing I want is for my son to be upset there. The only comfort I got came from thinking that at least he is at peace now. I can’t bear to think that he is not and that he is ripping himself up. Oh my God, Oh Charles please don’t, we love you no matter what, we know you did your best. Please darling, don’t worry, please

    My Response

    Dear Essie,

    I’m sorry he’s upset too, but I think that Erik will help him, and if you all send him love and forgiveness, he’ll be fine. Sometimes suicide is one’s destiny, sometimes it’s not. But he has no pain and is going through what he needs to go through to evolve and get past this. If, after you read the full transcript, you have any other questions you want me to ask next time, I will. Or if you want to schedule a phone session with Kim and speak to your son directly, that might help both of you. You might also know of a psychic medium who channels over where you live. I just want you to know that there’s nothing like really hearing what your child has to say and having a conversation with him. Remember, he promises to listen this time!

    I wish I could have said that this was his destiny and that he’s surrounded by loved ones completely blissful. Since you will always be his mother, you can still help him. I think it’s interesting (and so did Kim) that you asked if he needed anything from you/the family. She says she never gets that question. I get the feeling you were picking up on his angst as only a mother can. Funny how maternal love knows no boundaries, even the one separating life and death.

    If you need anything, I’m here for you. Just call.

    xo

    Elisa

    Essie’s Response

    Thanks Elisa and Erik. I have been holding Charles in my arms all afternoon and he feels better.

    Love to you,  Essie

    Naturally we’d all like to hear that our deceased loved ones are happy and without regret in their new home in the afterlife. As is the case with Charles, sometimes they’re miserable and burdened with guilt and remorse. Remember, Erik went through this phase just after his death, but now he has adjusted fully. I believe Charles will do the same. After all, no one in the spirit world is judgmental. We only judge ourselves, some more harshly than others. Accountability is an important step for spiritual evolution if we can push past the guilt and use our mistakes as steppingstones for progress. I know now that, with Erik’s help and with the prayers of forgiveness and love from Charles’ close-knit family, he will emerge from this cocoon of guilt and learn to love himself again.

    Ask Erik: Dina’s Question

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Dreams, Guardian Angel, Heaven, Kim O'Neill, Messages from the dead, Near Death Experiences, Past lives, Psychic medium, Quantum Physics of the Soul, Struggles, Suicide, The Physics of Consciousness, The Soul

    This next question is from a young woman who goes by the name, Dina.

    Dina’s Question

    Hello Elisa,

    I’m writing to inquire about your “Channeling Erik” page. I’ll start off by saying this is my very first time doing anything like this. I’ve never had a reading done, I’ve never talked to a medium, I’ve never channeled anyone, and I’ve never astrally projected, although it sounds like loads of fun and I’d sure love to try. 
I’m by no means a skeptic. I was brought up with some aspect of spiritual awareness, (I honestly don’t know what else to call it), and I’ve had a smattering of paranormal experiences throughout the years. So, believing isn’t the hard part for me. The hard part is knowing what to believe, knowing which of the new-age indigo psychic paranormal whatchamacallits are the real McCoy, and which ones are mere mirages, assembled by the avaricious among us to drain the wallets and dignity of society’s pained and lost. One of the reasons I make this attempt, is because your story rang true. Indeed, your story rang even truer than that Sylvia Browne book I read last year.

    I came upon Erik’s page very recently. I doubt I can tell you how or where, as for all I know, telling you would compromise the privacy of the “middle man,” so to speak. I hardly think it’s important anyway. The important thing is my main reason for writing, and that is, simply, to ask your permission to ask your son a question. I am aware of the Ask Erik link on the site. But as I glanced over the meager form I felt as if I were about to shake a magic 8-ball. After considering it for a moment I decided that wouldn’t do the situation justice. When I read your story I imagined countless online looky-loos swarming the page with all of their myriad curious questions. And, while I won’t deny being one of the same and having questions of my own, I absolutely refuse to treat Erik like a magic 8-ball, an automatic answer-bag, or a personal Dear Abby machine. Whether or not that ring of truth I heard was yet another mirage, you and your family are real human beings with real feelings just like me, and I aim to respect you as such.

    My start of course, is this written request. After all, you’re the guy’s mom. I’d feel weird not asking your permission. The reason I want to ask him is the age-old one. There are things in my life I’ve been wondering about, and I seek answers that someone on the Other Side may have access to. I’m just another looky-loo, searching for a spoonful of certainty in this melting pot of madness we call a world. Nothing new I’m afraid. If indeed this message is just a repeat of similar ones you’ve doubtless red a million times in the past few months, and you’ve grown weary of such requests, by all means tell me to back off. The last thing I want to do is disrupt your life with a meaningless chorus of what-about-me’s. No matter the response I receive, I wish you hope, joy and success on your life journey.

    Humbly,

    Dina

    (I answered Dina with an email, which basically encouraged her to put her questions out there, as this Ask Erik venue is an opportunity to help Erik and I as well.)

    Dina’s Response

    Hi Elisa,

    Don’t worry. I don’t always write like that. When I get nervous I tend to over-formalize. It’s an amazing and disconcerting thing to have so many questions, and then find the way to answer them has unceremoniously plopped into my lap. I just wanted to take it seriously. It didn’t feel right to just go ahead; maybe I’ve a few too many scruples. Anyways, here’s what I’d like to ask Erik.

    For a few years now I’ve had this, I don’t know what to call it, interest or fascination if you will, with the Deaf. I took a couple of signing classes in 04, then life interfered and I lost most of what I learned. This semester I started up again. The trouble is, beyond learning sign, I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. I don’t know whether I’m supposed to work in the Deaf Community, or if I’ll have a partner who’s Deaf, or whether it’s something I should stay away from altogether. All I have at the end of the day is this feeling like a 300 ton magnet is pulling me towards something to do with deafness. It’s confusing, frustrating and I don’t understand it. But just the same, I love it.

    Here’s the actual question part. To start off, why am I so drawn to this in the first place? Secondly, how does it apply to my life and how should I channel it? And third, does it have anything to do with August of the year 2003? That last one’s very important.

    I almost feel bad because my questions have nothing whatsoever to do with relatives or the afterlife, and don’t seem as serious. But chances are the response will give me a decent measure of comfort and understanding just the same. That said, do you realize how many in the world will shed tears of joy and thank their lucky stars a thousand times over that they found this blog and read your story? I don’t know how to say this in a way you haven’t heard before, so I’ll just go for it. Whether you can help me or not, I sincerely appreciate the 3 of you and what you do for people.

    Warmly,

    Dina

    P.S. I’m approximately 20 years old, I live in Hayward California, and my real name is XXXXXX. As you can see it’s not a very forgettable name, and I have a thing about randomly throwing it around online, I hope you don’t mind. For this reason, is it possible that we could use the given pseudonym on the public blog? Thanks.

    Channeling Transcript

    Me: Okay, the next person that has a question for you, Erik, is Dina. That’s her pseudonym. Her real name is XXXXXX. She’s from Hayward, Ca. She’s around 20 years old. She wants to know why she’s has such a fascination for the hearing impaired. She’s even taken up sign language. Is it because she needs to work with the deaf? Will her future partner be deaf? Also, she wants to know what the significance of all this is in relationship to the date, August, 2003, if any?

    Erik: Her guides are telling me that she’s been deaf in a lot of past lifetimes, so she’s very familiar with this. She’s gone to schools for the deaf, she’s worked as a teacher helping the deaf with sign language, helping them read lips. She’s also worked with children who were deaf and blind, like Helen Keller, but she didn’t work with Helen.

    Me: Okay. That makes a lot of sense.

    Erik: Yeah, and she’s here this lifetime to be a healer and teacher. She’s here to help the deaf learn to communicate clearly. Her life partner won’t be deaf, though. She’s also gonna help people who get the cochlear implant, including ones they’re gonna create in the future. She’ll help the deaf speak clearly and she will love this. She’s gonna devote her life to this. She’ll write some books about it, too.

    Me: Okay! So what about the significance of that date, Erik?

    Erik: Her guides are saying that was a near death experience. They’re saying that it was a near death experience, because her soul left her body, and she went to Heaven. What happened up here in Heaven is now in her subconscious and might have seemed like a dream to her. This was to help her see herself for who and what she really is so that she would set farther reaching boundaries for herself and so she’d begin to understand that she can make a difference in a shitload of people’s lives. It was supposed to be life-changing. It should hopefully help guide her in her decisions.

    Me: Okay, thanks Erik! I’ll see what she says about all this.

    Erik: Cool. Tell her she can channel me if she wants.

    Dina’s Response

    Hi Elisa,

    Wow. I’d say I was speechless but… I’ve wondered if it had something to do with my past lives, this makes much more sense now. The only thing I don’t understand is the part about teaching them to speak. The Deaf have a culture of which ASL is the main cohesive factor. If I went into a field of speech therapy I’d feel as if I were working against this culture, sending the message that ASL isn’t acceptable, and that deafness should be “cured.” Not
 that I’m questioning the veracity of the answer, it’s just confusing because it seems contrary to my motivation. Indeed, it feels more real, because there are parts I don’t understand. If he had said I’d be an interpreter with a Deaf husband and several ASL-fluent offspring I would’ve wondered. Lol. I knew the part about August 2003 would be interesting. On the 19th of that month, I’m still ashamed to admit this, I attempted to take my own life. The deciding factor was a trivial one, but it was a case of the straw breaking the camel’s back. Needless to say it didn’t work. 12 days later I woke up with the worst ear infection I’ve ever had to date. It wasn’t until 3 weeks later that I could hear properly out of my left ear. In earlier years my greatest fear was going deaf. I’m already blind, and the thought of losing another sense was just too much. So during this ordeal I jumped to the usual conclusion. (God was punishing me for almost killing myself by making me almost deaf for a time). A few months later I took my first sign class. Though I never attempted suicide again, I frequently felt close to it. For the longest, signing seemed like the only good thing in my life, and all I could deservedly hold onto. I have many memories of 08/03, but sadly the dream is not among them. And, as for the deaf spouse, I figure there’s no reason why I can’t at least try. Lol. Once again, I can’t thank the three of you enough for your time and effort.

    Warmly,

    Dina

    My Response

    Well, wait until you get the word for word transcript, because my memory isn’t that great. Many of the questions from people were very similar. I think it’s amazing that Erik said the event 8/2003 was a near death experience. I can’t remember what he said about how a dream was involved or if on a soul level you received this information and it may have felt like a subliminal dream. Who knows? It’s best to take only what rings true from these things. I have found, however, that what doesn’t ring true at the moment rings true later, sometimes months or years later. I’ve had Kim tell me things that made me think, “wow, you’re off today, Kim” only to have it all come true a year later. So keep an open mind about the speech component. Maybe he means speaking with fingers not vocally. You might be able to tell more after you read the detailed transcript.

    I wish you all the best.

    xo

    Elisa and Erik

    In retrospect, I believe she did receive information on a soul level that she’s perhaps struggling to translate on a conscious one. As for her future ability to help the deaf speak more clearly, she will of course need to teach them using ASL. Also, I understand how ASL is a cohesive factor in the deaf community, but imagine how much their lives could expand if they could all be understood by those of us who don’t have knowledge of this wonderful form of communication! As souls, we yearn to connect, as we are all part of the same whole. Perhaps this yearning occurs on a deeper soul level, but it exists nonetheless. I’m certain of it. We long to reach out to our fellow travelers as we share the human experience, regardless of race, class, location, education or abilities.

    Ask Erik: Hope’s Question

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Channeling, Contact with the dead, Dreams, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Kim O'Neill, Love, Messages from the dead, Past lives, Psychic medium, Quantum Physics of the Soul, The Physics of Consciousness, The Physics of Heaven, The Physics of Thought, The Soul, Visitation

    Hope’s Question

    Well I have been reading all the updates on channeling Erik.. It is truly amazing how much Erik is helping others. I have been speaking a little with you Mrs. Elisa about my Grandma. I wouldn’t to see if Erik could help me have a little bit piece of mind. I think about her every and wish I could just see her, and tell her how much I miss and love her. She passed away when I was nine. We lived in Trinity, TX her name was Shirley Walston she passed about in 1997 and her DOB is Aug. 17, 1935.

    Please Tell Erik hi for me & Ross. I remember the few time we hung out together with Michelle and it was so much fun. :)

    Again this is all really inspiring. Thank you so much Mrs. Elisa for speaking with me.

    Hope

    Channeling Session

    Me: Okay, Erik, here’s the next question. It’s from Hope Arndt. Remember her, Michelle’s friend?

    Erik: Sure I do.

    Me: Okay, her grandma, Shirley Walston, died when Hope was around 9 years old. That was in 1997. Shirley was born in 1935 and lived in Trinity. She says she thinks about her every day. She wishes she could see her, misses her, loves her…

    Kim: And this is coming from Hope?

    Me: Yes.

    Kim: Let’s ask Erik.

    Erik: Oh, Shirley’s definitely still in Heaven. She’s got this incredibly peaceful, happy, contented, balanced, centered energy…just real easy-going and gentle. She’s sitting like on a porch in a rocking chair and she’s working with something in her lap that looks like sewing. It’s not knitting, she’s sewing. She’s just rocking, real at peace. This is her environment in Heaven…she lives in a house, there’s rolling hills, grass, trees. She knew she was going to pass when she did.

    Me: Uh huh.

    Erik: She said she’s come to Hope in dreams, and she hears when Hope talks to her and tells her that she loves her, which makes Shirley really, really happy. Hope and her are platonic soulmates. They’ve been together many, many times before in prior lifetimes. Oh, like Shirley’s been Hopes mom lots of times, and they’ve been sisters a lot too. Shirley was always the older sister. So they have this spiritual and emotional connection that not many people share. That’s why Hope feels such a longing for her, like an emptiness without her over there.

    Me: Any messages at all?

    Erik: Yeah, she wants Hope to know that she’s with her;  she spends a lot of time with her. She also wants Hope know that everything is going to be perfect…

    Kim: Wow, you don’t hear that word very often in channeling!

    Erik: Um, yeah, so Shirley says everything is going to be perfect in her personal life. Hope shouldn’t “worry or fret” cuz her personal life will be just as she dreams, just as she wants it. And Shirley will be there to enjoy her happiness and will stay with her the rest of this lifetime. Hope is going to be living to be very, very old, so she’s not going to die early like Shirley did.

    Me: That’s good to know!

    Erik: Oh, and she wants me to tell Hope that she’s going to be the matriarch of the family. She’s the wisest one there. Shirley says Hope is going to be very surprised at that and laugh about it like she’s gonna think, “As if I’m the wisest one? Oh boy!” So she’s gonna find that funny.

    Kim: Now Elisa, Erik’s giving you an overview of everyone today, but if you want to spend more time with each, he can give us a lot more specific information.

    Me: Oh, I know. I wish I could, but eleven people have submitted questions, so we’ll just have to do an overview.

    Erik: Hell yeah!  If I had more time, Shirley could say lots of stuff about Hope’s life, but she can channel this on her own too.

    Me: Okay, thanks Erik. It was a pretty general question anyway.

    Erik: Yeah.

    THANKS YOU SO MUCH I cant read the rest of the convo! Thanks I’m calling my mom and sister now! they will be so happy to here this. Thanks again. Means a lot.

    xo

    Ask Erik: Paula’s Question

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Death, Death of a Parent, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Kim O'Neill, Messages from the dead, Psychic medium, Struggles

    And now for a question from a concerned mother:

    Paula’s Question

    I am both intrigued and skeptical by your reports of visits by Erik and the channeling. I know grief, and dealing with it, takes many forms. I am impressed by your ability to put into words what most of us bury (no pun intended) deep inside. I would really like to ask a question of my parents who have passed.

    My son, whom I shall call R.M., is a challenge at best. I would like to ask my parents for advice in dealing with him. Everett died of cancer in 1984, loved and supported by me and my siblings. My mother died much earlier in 1967. Lottie had a sudden passing after suffering a CVA, lingering less than a month under the suboptimum care of the times. I took over the household at the age of 13 in her place. Everett knows that I gave it my best, while maintaining my own self. I never resented my responsibilities. But I did not grieve over my mother’s passing for a long, long time. I am at peace with my father’s passing as he lived a long life and made really positive changes in the last few years.

    Please, Erik, if you are able to contact them, would you please ask them to guide and direct me in my relationship with my son. I know they know what I need to know to deal with this situation! I have peace with both of their deaths, although my peace came very differently for both of them. I hope that you are able to find them. They may be restless…life was not easy for either of them.

    Love. and hope. Thanks.

    Paula

    (In a subsequent exchange of emails, I found out additional information Erik needed: R.M.’s first name and where his grandparents lived.)

    Channeling Transcript

    Me: Okay Erik, the next person that would like to ask you a question is Paula XXXXXXX. She has a son, Reid. She would like to ask her parents for advice on how to deal with him, because he’s a bit of a challenge. Paula’s father, Everett, died of cancer in 1984. Her mother, Lottie, died much earlier, in 1967. Paula had to pretty much take over the household when she was only 13 years old.

    Kim: Wow!

    Me: I know! She says she never resented her responsibilities, but didn’t get a chance to grieve over her mother’s passing for a long time. So basically, she wants their direction on how to deal with this situation with her son.

    Kim: Did she mention where they’re from?

    Me: Oh, yes, they’re from Beaumont, Texas.

    Kim: Okay, and did she mention an approximate age for Reid?

    Me: Yes, he’s 19.

    Kim: We can ask Erik to try to call forth Lottie and Everett.

    Erik: Lottie is still in Heaven so she can speak with us. She’s still here; she hasn’t reincarnated. Everett, let’s see. Oh yeah, he’s definitely here too. He wants to be the spokesperson. (chuckling) He’s kinda bossy.

    Me: So Erik, can you asked what Paula can do about Reid?

    Erik: Let’s see. First Everett says this is not something he would have chosen for himself while he was on the earthly plane. He wants to make that clear.

    Me: I don’t know what that means, Erik. Can you have him explain?

    Erik: You know, dying the way he did, leaving Paula and Reid without a male family figure. Plus I think he feels bad about all the shit he piled on Paula after Lottie died. Lottie’s nodding, so yeah.

    Me, Oh, okay, so what about Reid?

    Erik: Wait, and they’re really happy here. They want Paula to know that they’re totally fine. They’re both glad they got that life behind them because it wasn’t a picnic for either of them. So they’re very happy where they are now. They say Paula’s been wondering about that. They also want her to know that they love her very much and come to her in dreams. They give her messages in dreams. Does she know that?

    Me: I don’t really know. She never mentioned that.

    Erik: Everett says the boy needs therapy. He says Reid has a lot of issues with his father. It doesn’t have as much to do with Paula. Reid has issues with his father. The issues have to do with abandonment, rejection, self-worth, self-esteem, low self-confidence and some anger. So he needs therapy, because Reid won’t be able to work this out with his father since he’s not available to him. Not sure if he means emotionally or physically available. Crap, I’m having problems understanding him, sometimes. I don’t know if it’s cuz he’s not very communicative or what. So Grandpa says he’ll have to work this out in therapy without his dad being present, and it will allow him to have a happy, healthy future. Without the therapy, Reid is going to have big issues with anger management and impulse control. Oh, and he says that depression will be a big problem without therapy, too.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: This isn’t anything Paula doesn’t already know. That’s why she’s asking this question. I hope that helps.

    I hope so too. Maybe we’ll get encouraging follow-up from Paula. I know what it’s like to struggle with a challenging child, especially one who is angry or depressed or not living up to his or her potential. All a mother wants is for her children to be happy, whole, fulfilled, productive and ever-evolving. That’s not too much to ask for, is it?

    Ask Erik: Guillermo’s Secret

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Contact with the dead, Crossing over, Death, Death of a Parent, Dreams, Energy, Heaven, Kim O'Neill, Love, Messages from the dead, Psychic medium, Spirit visitation, Struggles

    This first question is from a dear friend of mine who’s father died very recently. Within the last few years, her daughter divulged a terrible secret that she’s kept to herself since she was very young: her grandfather, Guillermo, had been molesting her for years. She has been progressing well in therapy but, because her grandfather never offered any form of apology even on his deathbed, she feels unrequited. Let’s see if Erik can find some satisfaction for her from the afterlife.

    Me: Hi Erik, how’re you doing Sweetie?

    Erik (in a monotone voice): Hey Mom. Right here.

    Me: Ready to get down to it?

    Erik (chuckling): Yeah.

    Kim: Erik, you sound so enthusiastic.

    Erik: It’s a lot of work for me.

    Me: I bet it is. Everybody really appreciates all you’ve done. I don’t know if you’ve gotten all the messages and emails from people so that you know exactly how grateful they are to you.

    Erik: Yeah, I know. I’ve also had a lot of people’s departed loved ones come visit with me, and they ask me to pass along messages.

    Kim: Elisa, you and Erik are going to be quite the channels, because you two are going to be sharing a ot of channeled information from people’s loved ones. Erik will get the information from the departed loved ones, and then he’ll present it to you and then you will present it to them if you so choose.

    Erik: I’m really excited about that. It’s a lot of work for me, because I have to remember everything that’s shared with me so I can give it to you.

    Me: That sounds like it will take a lot of your energy, Erik. Thanks Sweetie.

    Erik: No prob.

    Me: Okay now the first Ask Erik submission I’d like to discuss is from XXXXX Flores. Her father just passed last week. His name is Guillermo XXXX. He was 80 years old. He was born in San Manuel, Texas but lived much of his life in Freeport, Texas. Does he have any messages for any of the family members, particularly his granddaughter, M?

    Kim: How old is M?

    Me: I think she’s around 24 or 25.

    Erik: He’s here, and he says she’s his baby, his precious angel. He’s really emotional. He waves his hands around a lot. He says he will watch over her, and his greatest wish is for her to go back to school.

    Me: Anything else?

    Erik: He’s saying he was not the best husband or father or grandfather. Wait a minute. This is difficult for him. He’s saying he’s in therapy here in Heaven. He says he’s trying to improve himself and make amends for something. Come on, Dude, spill it. It’s okay. Um, he’s going to go around to each family member and apologize after he’s done with his life review. He’s pretty new here, you know. But he’ll come to them in their dreams in, like, a month in terms of Earth time.

    Me: Why did he do what he did, Erik?

    Erik: He’s telling me he has no excuse, but he wants to share that he was molested, too. In the family he grew up in and in the small town, a lot of that was going on and it was considered…no one talked about it…it was like a family secret. He says when he was a boy it wasn’t considered anything like it is now—a crime. It wasn’t like real traumatic like it is now. Kids then were more like property. That’s what he learned as a child, but he’s not thinking this is an excuse.

    Me: So he’s sorry?

    Erik: Oh hell, yeah. Real sorry. He’s going to have to work on all that here and in his next lifetime.

    I guess it’s never too late to make amends to those you love. Although these events were extremely traumatic for M. and her family, I’m hoping Guillermo’s words bring closure and peace and that everyone will transform these struggles into a deeper ability to feel compassion, to forgive, and to love unconditionally. This is what spiritual progress is all about.
