		<description>Hi :) thank you so much for replying. them questions are great and i&#039;ll be sure to do as you said. i did post in the introduce yourself thread awhile ago but i didn&#039;t really say everything. and i kept meaning to reply back to your comment on that thread. you mentioned about past life regression. i have thought about that and looked into it quite a bit. i had issues before the stuff with my brother happened. after that things kinda got a bit worse. i was always very shy and quiet and after this i sort of went further with in myself but i was also being bullied a lot at school. i find it really hard to talk to people face to face and i&#039;m even worse on the phone. and when i type it tends to be scattered as my brain comes up with other points and i often loose thread of what i&#039;m saying, like now. 

thank you for your reply and kind kind words. i&#039;m amazed at the amount of love and kindness on this site. thank you again. 

peace

		<description>Hey, Sweet Lissy. I&#039;m glad you found us. Certainly it&#039;s no accident or coincident. You&#039;re guides probably gave you a little nudge. I know exactly what you mean, wondering if you truly lived the life that is now your past. Just the fact that you never hated your brother but instead felt pity for him says to me that you&#039;re a very evolved soul. Were you to teach him? What is your spiritual mission? Why are you here? Why did you have to go through that trauma? Here&#039;s what I&#039;d like you to do.
1) Post in the forum your story (under the &quot;Introduce Yourself&quot; thread.
2) Ask questions (including the ones I listed above) under &quot;Channeling Erik Family Channelers&quot; and see if they can help.
3) Book an appointment with Jeannie Barnes. She can channel your main guardian angel who&#039;s been with you from birth and get down to the nitty gritty. Her prices are very reasonable too. 
4) Know that you&#039;re now a part of a family that loves you and has your back. We&#039;ll do what we can to help you.</description>

		<description>heya. i was sexually abused when i was younger by my eldest brother he is 6 years older than i. i knew what was goin on was wrong. i remember very little of what actually happened its like a big chunk of my life is missing. i never felt anything other than love for my brother. he went through a stage when he was around 15 of being very angry. he was very aggressive to the point that neither me nor my mum felt safe living under the same roof as you never knew what he would do next. i never hated him i always felt sad for him an knew that i didnt want to be anything like him. we are not at all close i don&#039;t see him except maybe at christmas. i&#039;m kinda sad we aren&#039;t close though. i always dreamt of having a close family. i wonder if because of everything that happened if this is why i always feel so lonely. i always seem fairly numb and un fazed by things. i have been thinking of going to therapy but mainly for my social phobia but maybe its time to unlock my past as all the most painful memories are fairly blank some of the things i do remember are kinda like they are someone elses memories but they&#039;re not. its kinda hard to explain but i know things happened to me although i cant recall memories of it actually happening i jus know it did i know how it started and where but i cant see it in my head its strange. as the years pass i even find myself wondering if it was me. i have always had this rather detached feeling especially when i was a kid i only now after having children seem to be coming out of it although some days i wonder if i really did give birth to them. very strange i know. i&#039;m sorry. i just wonder if maybe my problems stem from not really dealing with anything i&#039;ve been through. and this is the first time i&#039;ve thought of that. i have always felt that i&#039;m not really here. sort of hollow. things just wash over me. i don&#039;t know why i&#039;m here. i never had hopes or dreams for my future and now i need to face up to the fact i&#039;m going to be around for a while i&#039;m scared. i have no direction i&#039;ve always just drifted.

i love reading all the comments people make on this site. your all very bright intelligent beings. and i love the thoughts you provoke by most of your blogs. 

i hope Avery is doing much better and is able to move past all this. much love and light to her, and to you Elisa great big hugs, you have to be the most warmest and loving giving person i know. also much love and thanks to Erik and Kim :) thank you all for this brilliant blog. 

peace

		<description>All the best wishes to Avery, Elisa, Erik and Kim.
I really must say though that the idea that we can blame or explain a child&#039;s suffering in this life on/as a guilty soul in the past life is outrageous to me. I just can&#039;t swallow it. And what kind of spirit would be willing to choose to be the abuser? I don&#039;t care what lessons are learned, nothing is worth doing that to someone. Nothing justifies brutalization. Nothing.</description>

		<description>Oh, Avery, you are so courageous. I&#039;m in such awe. I did come away from the session feeling like you are a teacher here to teach others some very difficult lessons. And you are a healer too, because just by sharing your story you have helped bring solace to those with similar experiences and shouldering some of that burden of loneliness it often cause. I love you. We all love you. We&#039;ll always be there for you.</description>

		<description>Hi Elisa, 
I know it&#039;s been awhile since this was posted, but after the initial time I read it I was really overwhelmed with feelings, to the point where I couldn&#039;t even bring myself look at the transcript again.  But then, I&#039;ve always had a way of trying to deny the things that were right in front of my face, and so I came back to face it.  The parts about my Godmother are what I gravitated to first, because it&#039;s so 100% dead on and it made me feel so positive and happy inside, just she like always did.  She was and still is all of the things Kim said; she is a wonderful, beautiful soul, who is around me all the time. In her short life, she did accomplish all the things she wanted to.  She was married toa wonderful man, I would go so far as to say her soulmate, and she had a beautiful daughter after years of trying and being told it was medically impossible.  We still call her the &quot;Miracle Baby&quot; lol =)  After I read this response, I began talking to her more, and just opening myself up, and it&#039;s such a healing thing for me so THANK YOU!! I even visited her grave for the second time since she passed, and for the first time on my own, and it was ok.  Actually, it was better then ok- it was peaceful and calming.  I asked her to give me a sign one day in my car, while I was talking to her, to give me the Phil Collins song &quot;Groovy Kind of Love&quot;, because that was her and my uncles wedding song.  Well, instead 
Phil Collins, &quot;You&#039;ll be in my heart&quot; came one... and if you aren&#039;t familiar with it, google the lyrics. Wow.  It was awesome, and I got goosebumps.  I could totally feel her presence, so THANK YOU guys for helping me open myself up to that!  NOW to touch on everything else- the answers to my questions elicited much the same response from me that they seemed to everyone else.  I was at first disgusted, then confused and sad.  I wondered, did we make this agreement in heaven because I at one time had been the abuser, and so this was my punishment for one of my souls past lives?  And how horrific for these other children, especially for his daughter... did they agree to it as well?   Because I never said anything when it was happening, did other children suffer after I was free of him? *(Just to clarify though, my mom DOES know now... I told her when I was about 18, and she believed me.  It&#039;s just not something I shared with other members of my family, and probably never will because I am still ashamed and embarrassed.)*  It&#039;s just so sad to think about, it breaks my heart for any other possible victims.  When Kim said that Don married my mom for access to me, I nearly passed out.  When I was a child, and it was happening, he used to tell me that he wished I was older, so he could leave my mother and be with me.  I&#039;m getting chills just thinking about it.  I actually drove to my old town this weekend, by myself for the first time in many years.  As I drove the 4 hours, through 2 states, 3 turnpikes, 1 exit, then 45 miles down a road into my old town, I realized that I really was trapped there with him.  He had convinced my mom to move us there; he convinced her we would be living in the country, a small town of rustic charm, where we could be kids and explore.  What it really was, was a place away from my whole family, everyone who knew and loved and would have protected me (My godmother is actually the only one who ever suspected something was wrong.  It caused a huge rift between her and my mom when she was alive, because my aunt always said she would never forgive my mom for taking us away up there.  It&#039;s like she knew deep down, because we were so close.), full of drugs and poverty.  I was a lonely little girl, away from my dad (who I was SO close with), and Don preyed on my innocence and loneliness.  So sad to think about, but I then I noticed the line about how people who are extra compassionate have lifetimes before of being the victim.  I am one of the most compassionate, empathetic people you will ever meet.  The suffering of people I barely know breaks my heart, I give rides to homeless and disabled people I see walking down the street.  At any job I&#039;ve ever had, I always volunteer for the tasks that put me in contact with those less fortunate, because I believe I&#039;m more sensitive to their needs and can help them better then someone else could.  So perhaps My Soul is now a teacher, after lifetimes of being a victim.  I have to look at it in a positive way, because otherwise, there is no way I could live with myself.  Thank you all for your kinds words, you have NO IDEA how much they strengthen me.  As someone who has been dealing with it mostly by myself for a long time, it&#039;s good to know this is the response it elicits from those outside the situation.  We are a wonderful little family here, Elisa you have done an amazing job of creating a place where souls like myself can feel safe and sound and warm and loved.  Love you and Erik!! xoxoxo</description>

		<description>Thank you Elisa for checking with your guides on this.  Look at the discussion this post has generated.  It gives all of us more to think about and hopefully learn from.  As much as I struggle thinking about souls agreeing to such cruelty, it challenges what I think I know and that&#039;s never a bad thing!  Thank you again for all that you do.  You are such a blessing to us all!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you Elisa for checking with your guides on this.  Look at the discussion this post has generated.  It gives all of us more to think about and hopefully learn from.  As much as I struggle thinking about souls agreeing to such cruelty, it challenges what I think I know and that&#8217;s never a bad thing!  Thank you again for all that you do.  You are such a blessing to us all!!<br />
With much Love,<br />
