Channeling Transcript

Jamie: Hi!

Me: Hi, Jamie! How’re you doing?

Jamie (giggling): Fine. Erik showed up about thirty minutes into my last session.

Me: Ooo. Hope he didn’t make any mischief.

Jamie: No, he was so nice! He didn’t do anything. And I kept looking at him like, “C’mon. What is it? What are you going to do?”

Me (laughing): Oh God!

Jamie: And he didn’t to anything! Nothing. He’s so calm.

Me: Such a good boy!

Jamie: Oh, but he is dressed today.

Me: Oh, really?

Jamie: Like “dressed.”

Me: What, dressed to the nines?

Jamie: Yeah, he—

Me (teasing): He doesn’t usually show up naked does he?

Jamie: No! Usually he comes in jeans and a t-shirt. That’s usually how I see him, but today I see him in a jacket made up of some black shiny kind of material. I don’t see a tie or anything, but he does have on a dress shirt and dress pants.

Me: Wow! Spiffy! You must have a hot date tonight, Erik!

We all laugh.

Jamie (alarmed): Do you hear all those voices on the phone?

Me: No, I don’t hear anything.

Jamie: Hello? Hello? (pause) Oh God, once I said hello they all went away.

(Pause)

Jamie (in a motherly warning tone): Erik? Don’t mess with the phone.

Me: Oh please no! You little sneakster!

Jamie: He did that really bad with his dad. He kept hanging us up, and we had such a hard time getting back in touch with each other!

Me: Oh, yeah. I remember that! And that was Rune’s first session with you!

Jamie (laughing): I know!

Me: Okay, let’s get down to the questions, I guess. Erik, I’ve asked this before, but let’s see if you have any more to say. What is the spiritual basis for obesity?

Erik: Spiritual? That’s totally a human battle. You know what, we have zero obesity here.

Me: No, I mean what is the reason, uh, you know…(I’m struggling to explain, and Erik sits back enjoying my squirming immensely. Then he lets me off the hook. Tag and release.

Erik (laughing): I get it! I get it! I’m just playing! I just thought I’d ride your horse.

Me (chuckling): Okay, smart ass!

Erik: The spiritual lesson for coming in—remember Mom, you gotta break it down. Are they obese cuz they have a thyroid issue, cuz of digestive problems, or are they putting food in their face in place of emotions for things they can’t handle?

Me (laughing): No, I don’t need a medical discourse on the causes for obesity.

Erik: Really—

Jamie (to Erik): Dude! (pause) Okay, okay!

Erik: The people who put food in their mouths in place of emotions—

Jamie hesitates to channel what Erik says, but finally gives in:

Jamie: Fine.

Erik: They’re sissies.

(Pause)

Jamie: Hold on. I’m having a bit of a battle with him.

(Pause)

Jamie (to Erik): Yes, show them. Okay, fine!

Jamie (to me): I’m going to say exactly what he saying word for word.

Erik: They’re sissies. They’re not strong enough to commit suicide, so they’re just slowly killing themselves. That’s in addition to the reasons I shared with you the other day.

Me: Oh my gosh.

Erik: Those are people who just wish they were dead. It is a way of choking—you know how you can just choke something out?

Me: Oh yeah, yeah.

Erik: It’s like a slow choking mechanism. There’s one more. I forgot to talk about this. There are people who come in and never get grounded to their own bodies.

Me: Oh, yeah.

Erik: Those are usually those aliens who come down to earth from other stars. They get here, and it’s just so fucking out of their norm that they don’t want to take care of the body; they don’t know how to do it. They’re frustrated with the physical. They’re not grounded at all. It’s not an emotional thing, you know. It’s completely not liking the physical body whatsoever. And then they destroy it by over-feeding it or—let’s look at the other extreme—not feeding it at all.

Me: Ah, like anorexia nervosa?

Erik: Yep.

Me: Very interesting. Okay, now here’s another one I want to see if you have more information on: What is God made of. What IS God? Just a little minor question there!

Erik (chuckling): Let me sum that up for you in two sentences!

We all laugh.

Erik: God is energy. Energy is a living, thriving source that has divided and spread like some contagious—

Jamie (in mock frustration): He uses the word disease.

Me: Oh! Better watch out, Erik, lest God smite you—whatever that means.

Erik: You’re placing judgment on a word, Mom. You’re thinking that disease is a negative.

Me: Oh, yeah, that’s right!

Erik: Disease can be extremely positive! It serves as a huge catalyst for a lot of people. But I just wanted to use the word “contagious,”  because that energy spreads everywhere! Without its existence, we wouldn’t have created—

Jamie: Oh, God, Erik!

Erik: We would not have created ourselves. I say that, because God is in all of us.

Me: Yeah, exactly.

Erik: There’s such a stigma on the word, “God.” I really wish we could just erase that and come up with something else.

Me: Yeah, I guess it implies that it’s a separate thing, and it’s not.

Erik: You’re right; it’s not! So that question may well have been, “What am I made of?”

Me: Yeah, yeah. So you already told me some about when you spoke to God. Anything else?

Erik: Yeah.

Me: Okay, what about? Did you just shoot the breeze like talk about the Superbowl or say  “How ‘bout them Yankees?”

Erik (chuckling): No, no. We all just sit on a red velvet couch and smoke cigars. That’s what we do.

Jamie and I laugh.

Erik: Yeah, Jesus, God, Krishna, all of us.

Me: Wow, that’s one helluva party!

Erik: Maybe we get around to playing poker.

Me: Hope it’s not strip poker.

Erik: No, but seriously, the conversations you have with God aren’t like a telephone call where you know what you’re dialing and you know the voice you’re going to hear in return. When you connect to the pure Source of energy, It communicates with you in a way that you understand. It can change and morph into anything It needs to be to place you in a comfort zone so that you can feel at peace with it. So when you connect with God and you have conversations with God, one day, you might need that strong God—the one that just tells you “Yes,” “No.” And then some days you need the God that just wants to sing to you, cuddle you, I don’t know, just be with you.

Me: Does that have something to do with matching vibrational frequencies? Is there physics behind how God changes? I mean, if you have one of those days where you think you need to be bitch slapped to go on the right road, does your vibrational energy have anything to do with how—

Erik: Yeah, cuz when you change your emotional status, that changes your thoughts, your vibrational energy.

Me: Um hm.

Erik: And when you tune into pure Source, if you’re—let’s just remember that Pure Energy or God is nonjudgmental, so no matter what you come with, that Source is not going to look at you and say, “No, you’re not going to understand what I’m going to say, because you’re angry, or you’re a lower vibration, or you’re not seeing it the way I’m seeing it.” That never exists. Just delete that whole framework. Whatever you come with—your willingness to connect with Pure Source, with God—God will match where you are but not lessen the information.

Me: Oh, okay. Wow.

    What amazingly interesting posts, once again. I am still really pondering the post from yesterday where it was stated that true angels never incarnate. I have heard this many times as well so I trust it to be true, but my limited human hierarchical mind gets stuck on how come they get to be angels and we don’t? Earth is supposed to be an advanced learning field so why don’t we get to be angels when we graduate? Part of me knows that one is not better than the other, just different energy, different rolls, but still it seems very limiting to me that if you incarnate on earth you are not an angel. What if your soul wanted to experience being an angel, and since the after life is forever… Mind boggling. I am just so fascinated to know what makes angel energy different. I wonder if our guardian angel is actually a part of us, a part of our higher self and we can connect to it but we still retain our own being-ness?

    I had a wonderful reading with Jeannie yesterday where dear Erik came through. Jeannie was telling me about how much stronger my connection with my guardian angel was due to talking to her regularly and that the connection should feel like it comes from me, rather than an external connection as I was expecting it to be. Erik was very polite and subdued and his message was really interesting; one thing he has learned is that this connection between spirit and physical is so natural. He had that connection while in the physical but did not realize it. He is trying to help people understand that they don’t have to go through anything in life alone.

    I am learning that in the stillness and the letting go, it can be possible to feel that beautiful heavenly part of you which is not separate. Instead of looking outside, look inside to find what you are seeking. It is so much better than looking outside. I am still so touched that Erik would come visit me in a way where his communication would be crystal clear. Thank you Erik! And thank you Elisa and the CE family for your endless quest for knowledge and understanding and letting us all be a part of it.

      Aw, Sweet Erik. I sure do miss him, and I’m so proud of him for helping so many of us.

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Hey Elisa,

    Interesting post about God. In my experience with the Light, I stepped into the pure energy of unconditional love. It is very, very difficult to explain. But while I was in the Light, I was overwhelmed with the feeling that there is nothing that anyone could possibly do in life that would diminish this energy. You could be any truly “evil” person but you would still be loved once you embrace the Light. The only judging that happens is when we judge ourselves.

    In regards to this, something very interesting happened to me yesterday while I was in the reception area waiting for my energy healer. I had this overwhelming feeling of joy and sadness at the same time. I was feeling Osama Bin Laden’s soul having to experience the unbelievable joy of the Light but having to suffer every single pain that he caused so many others in his life. It was like a tide that rushed inside my body and was filling me up…unexplainable.

    I was wondering if you could ask Erik what has become of Osama Bin Laden. I feel he was part of a larger global scenario to bring an understanding to the world concerning the destructiveness of rigid, radical religious beliefs. I believe it was his contract. I would love to hear what Erik has to say.

    Love to all

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      He’s on the list, Pat. But I bet we won’t be able to contact him for a while. He’s probably got a lot of therapy to go through.

  • Yvonne

    They’re sissies. They’re not strong enough to commit suicide, so they’re just slowly killing themselves.

    Well, this is kind of harsh to me. Especially considering the Erik is a suicide. So if I extrapolate and apply this to my child, who seems to be a food addict at nine years old, not only is she stuffing emotions (probably true), but she is ultimately suicidal in a cowardly way – as opposed to a bold, brave suicide, as well?

    More elaboration needed here, please.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Erik already gave other examples of the spiritual basis behind obesity, so this is just one. And believe me, Erik would never consider his own suicide to be an act of bravery. I’m not too happy with his use of a judgmental sounding description either, but remember, Erik only shed his body, not his personality or his flaws.

  • Hiral

    please can we have more on energy and god and more descriptive stuff please?this is extremely interesting and id love to learn more….thanks…

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Well, I’m doing the celebrity channeling now, but I will ask for other questions when I get to the end of that. I still have 6 tapes to transcribe so maybe these topics are addressed further in those.

  • iola

    I have a feeling alot of folks are going to be unhappy with Erik calling them sissies for being overweight. While some have a health reason for being so, I actually agree with Erik..they are putting food in their mouths rather than deal with emotions. As most of my family is overweight, and very sedentary..I see that as an explanation for alot of it. Not all…but at least some. Erik also gave other reasons for it in a past post…and diff reasons for cancer and various diseases…but people are touchier about obese than cancer. I look at the person inside, not what size they are…but it is a slow killing of your body. Thats only stating a fact..not an attack on heavy people. And as for suicides, well, I dont see that making a conscious choice to exit is all that horrible either. Andy had his reasons..and while I miss him terribly, he is happy now. I get angry with people who think suicides are a pack of bad souls..or that they aren’t as good as one who stuck it out til the grisly end.
    Erik is trying to give us answers, and we are getting hung up on a ‘word’ he uses to describe something. Keep an open mind here..and dont beat up the messenger. Sorry, I am dont ranting now.
    hugs to you all xox

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Plus remember, Erik is not perfect. He’s just a kid without a body, trying to gather information with us. He might have used that word to create this very reaction and get us talking! If so, it sure did work! Iola, you’re like his other mom. You’re so sweet.

  • Steph

    I have been reading the site for several weeks now. I absolutley love it. It has answered so many of my questions. I have a huge favor to ask as I see many people are healers here. A dear friend of mine’s 6 yr old niece has just been diagnosed with cancer. She had what her drs thought was a wart on her foot, but was taken to the ER Thursday as it ruptured and she nearly bled to death. The cause was still unknown. The ER referred her to a specialist and it has now been determined that it is cancer. Her father is deployed overseas and this is completley devestating for the entire family. Any healing energy that can be sent out to her and the family is greatley appreciated. Please keep up the good work here – this is an amazing community!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Oh, Steph, no doubt you were meant to find your way here for that little girl. Of course we’ll all send whatever healing we can, for her, her family and you. What is her first name and the first names of her family members and in what city do they live? That’ll give the healers in the community a better fix. Oh, and what foot is involved? It’s amazing what energetic healing can do for cancers. MD Anderson just did a big study using Reiki for rectal cancer. They also have an energy medicine department of some sort, so finally us western docs are opening our minds a bit. Better late than never, I guess. I’m glad you’re part of our family now, Sweetness.

  • nikki

    iola I agree. There is still a stigma associated with suicide. I see it in people’s eyes. And even if I try to explain that maybe, just maybe this was my son’s destiny. I get that “oh, you poor thing look”. Many people are committing suicide, they just don’t realize it. Drug abusers, alcoholics, food abusers (you can be skinny and eat toxic foods only), smokers. Our body is our temple, a gift from God. Sure they come with imperfections but they are ours for a lifetime. I would imagine that it is expected of us to take good care of the “equipment” we are provided.

    In regards to God allowing suffering.
    I was recently in a conversation that centered around the pain of this world and how could God allow that. Someone said, this is God’s testing ground. He cannot know what it feels like to have loss, sadness, pain unless he experiences it via one of us. If his first creations were angels he only knew good. Jesus was put here so that God could experience this world first hand. We are all a part of God and he experiences thru us. Kind of made sense to me :)
    As a parent I could never truly relate to the pain/devastation of loss, until I lost Eric. I dont wish this on anyone, but it has allowed me to be more sympathetic and consoling to others. I imagine God is the same way. Our rewards will be great :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      God, Nikki, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten that “look,” especially when I try to explain the different encounters I’ve had with Erik: his pranks, his manifestations, etc. Sigh.

  • Elizabeth M

    I definitely think we need to cut Erik some slack on (and take the judgment out of) the “sissy” comment. (Political correctness doesn’t serve us truth seekers, and sometimes a little jolt to our conventional thinking allows us to look at ourselves afresh.) Aren’t we all sissies about certain things? And doesn’t that just mean we hold some fear or we’re not prepared to confront something that matters? Maybe our “sissy” behavior is the cushion we need at the moment, so let’s embrace our sissiness, if that’s what we need to protect us. Then, maybe, gradually we can confront and take responsibility for that fear, that thing that matters, those actions that harm us. We make the choice to respect ourselves and improve our thoughts and actions. Isn’t this the process of finding ourselves and becoming grounded in the spiritual lesson? A lifelong process.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Elizabeth M., I, for one, am embracing my sissiness. It may be what’s kept me alive (in spite of my clumsiness and terrible driving) all these many years.

  • Steve

    Being overweight is definitely a choice. I choose to run a lot and exercise, so I’m thin. I’d be overweight if I didn’t. Others choose to self medicate with food – addiction. Others smoke. Others drink. Some may not have time to exercise and eat right, or healthy food is not available, so gaining weight is inevitable, due to our society today.
    It is kind of shocking how heavy we have become. I don’t remember so many overweight people when I was a kid. Now, everyone seems to be, including kids!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      And now that freeze tag, kickball, dodge ball and other sports are being banned, kids are being protected from life itself. How can kids learn to use their bodies if they don’t get a few bumps and bruises?

  • Steve

    Correction – being overweight CAN be a choice. Some do deal with genetic or other factors that cause weight gain, along with some medicines and their side effects…

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yes I think for every disease there are many possible causes, in keeping with the quantum nature we have.

  • maria

    Hi Elisa,

    The past 48 hours I’ve been hooked on your blog. Literally, can’t put it down. Your story is inspiring on so many levels. You’ve turned an incredibly dark, grief-stricken experience into something extraordinary. I’ve gained so much comfort and confirmation from your posts. Now here’s the interesting part, the reason I stumbled upon your blog is because I’m a television producer in Los Angeles and I was looking for source material. Perhaps I was guided to you. Not sure where you are in the process of developing this material, but I’d love converse in a more private format if you’re interested. Many thanks to you and Erik for your brave journey. Maria

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Hey Maria, I bet you were guided here. It seems like everyone who comes to this site has found a purpose in doing so. Of course you can contact me any time you want, Sweetie. I’m on central time. If you’d like my phone numbers, my email is emedhus@gmail.com. I’m going to try the email address that appears next to your name, too. Thanks for joining our little loving family. We’re all glad to have you here.

  • Tracy Lamont

    Hi everyone,
    If you’re British you will know that today marks 4 years since Madeleine McCann was snatched whilst on holiday in Portugal with her mom and dad and younger twin brother and sister.
    There was no mention of her at all on the news today, but I remembered because it was shortly after we lost Adam. We as a family have come so far with regard to coping with our loss, but the McCanns are stuck at day one as they have no idea whether Maddy is alive or dead. She was just shy of her 4th birtday when she was taken which means – if she is still alive – she would be almost 8 now. She probably wouldn’t even remember her family who yearn for her so.
    Elisa, do you think Erk would know what has become of her. Is she in spirit or alive somewhere?
    Best case scenario for her family is that she was snatched and is being raised by – or was sold by -gypseys. Worse case is she was snatched by a paedophile ring.
    God bless Kate and Gerry and their young twins and I pray they get closer – one way or another.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Aw, of course I’ll ask, Sweet Tracy. I’ve been following that story as well. So sad for her family.

  • Susan

    Interesting post about God..I agree :-) and cheeky choice of words today ;-)

    Hi Steph…Oh, 6 years old is way to young to have Cancer :-( When you tell us her name.. I will pray and send healing light to her…..

    I’m so proud of Elisa and Sir Erik. And I’m so grateful to have an extended family here. It’s so nice to see people gathering and talking about things I always suspected to be true.

    Love yall,

  • Stanley

    Hello all,

    This channeling has interesting timing in some ways. I can relate to Erik saying overeatting can be a sissies way to killing one self. There is a part of me wishing my body would fail in some way so I can leave this world. I find it often a negitive place where people attack other’s weaknesses. I just do not understand that action to others. The things people to do others just boggle my mind. Some people hurt others as if that person were a rag doll or some other non-living object. Where weight comes into it, I am overweight. My last weight in was 333 pounds. Seems I have been battling my weight most of my life. I don’t get it because 99% of the time I only eat one meal a day. Sometimes with a snack. And still no weight comes off. I think people my size, they see me and think I sit with the fridge door open piling things in. I don’t know what the issue is, but I wish people could look past those with larger or smaller bodies than normal and look at the persons heart. That’s what I look for when I meet someone. I want to look at the persons heart. What kind of person they are, what kind of vibe do I get from them. Just my two cents. :)

    -Stanley

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Stanley, you may be one of those people who are here to teach everyone compassion–how to judge others for what they do and say, not for what their size is. You are no sissy. That much I know. And I know there are physical reasons for some obesity cases: leptin receptor problems, etc.

  • Be Free My Angel

    Well Im overweight….there its out….and I have to agree with Erik on many points. Im a big sissy, lol. I do tend to use my food as a substitute for dealing with my emotions and use in place of a loving relationship. Regardless none of us are perfect and we all are here to learn and work things out. Funny thing is that I’ve lost weight before kept it off and felt like I was an easy target to get used I’ve always felt my weight is more of a layer of protection.

    Peace and Blessings ♥♥♥

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      You’re not alone, BFMA. I’ve battled off and on with weight too. And I bet many of us in the CE family, being the sensitives and empaths that we are, battle this too. But we’re still loved, and we love you too. We’re not our bodies. (Thank God.) When I cross over, I’m creating a nice lithe svelte figure for myself.

  • Jane

    Yvonne I highly doubt that what Erik said about obesity and “sissiness” was meant to apply to children. Love to you and your daughter, I hope you are able to resolve whatever it is she and you are going through.

  • Jane

    Based on some channeling and combined years of working with children my husband and I get that it is indeed a different thing with children. With adults it is that they are choosing to believe the lie that they are helpless and they choose to ignore the opportunities that come up to find and grow their love for themselves. That is where they chicken out and are “sissies.”

    With children, they are not choosing, they are just doing. They are not being cowardly or deciding to believe a lie. They just need more ways to express themselves. The best things a parent can do are 1.Show unconditional love 2.Do not be emotionally attached to any behavior they are doing (the whole positive and negative reinforcing of behavior thing – if you fixate on any behavior you reinforce it with your attention) – or in other words, “let go and let God” and then beam love at the child and 3. Expose the child to many many ways to express themselves (but in a fun, positive way, not like “here’s a coping skill for your problem.” More like “hey let’s go learn how to fish, or do some pottery, or take a dance class, etc.) Painting, sewing, jogging, sports, drama, all these things can help a child not feel bored or stifled & frustrated for lack of an outlet. Also give them the freedom to find their own creativity.
    And this is just completely from me but I would think today’s children more than ever need as many outlets of creativity in their repetoire b/c they are more advanced and evolved. They are ready to blast themselves out there and create. If they for whatever reason think that they only have a couple ways to do it then they are really going to go after those ways. Hopefully it’s a power and energy that is just needing more outlets for expression. So #3 above is very very important for kids. My husband adds that drama/theater is great for sensitive children.
    Parenting is hard! Love unconditionally without attachment to their behaviors. Oh that’s all? Oh ok. ;) Now i just need to go read somewhere how exactly to work on loving unconditionally.

    Hope this helps at least a little bit.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Spot on Jane! In my parenting books, I write that when our kids misbehave, we can shift our perspective: Instead of viewing it as a personal vendetta meant to drive us nuts, see it as a teachable moment. Rub our hands together with delight and think: “This is a golden opportunity to impart a valuable lesson that will serve my child the rest of his/her life. Yay!”

  • Skoshi

    Steph – Will add your friend and her 6 year old to my daily Reiki list.

  • Lorna

    Hello all.

    Eric was told that he could choose to be a gift now to the earth and that he could help many. He chose this but was he offered this because they knew you Elisa would be instrumental in this work and if you didn’t have a part in this this would he be like a floating guide to help many, going from one person to the next helping, unlike our own personal guides who stay with one person. Is everyone given a chose in the direction they want to take?
    Will Eric complete this work and then incarnate again. Getting confused, Eric is not his soul so he will never come back, the soul will make the chose to incarnate or not, but then they don’t have the chose as it all depends on if they learnt their life lessons.
    This sissygate thing going on, I have done the ‘look into the situation ‘to see if it would upset or offend me. Getting to where I am today has seen me with anorexia and though not obese, large enough for it to affect my life and confidence. I would say I am now realising that I was putting myself through these situations as compensation for love and something to hide behind. I would say I am not respecting my feeling at the moment and using alcohol to avoid whatever, don’t know what it is because I’m avoiding it. This is only my opinion but when a person is telling you home truths and it’s someone you trust [my partner brings up my drinking frequently] then you know deep down that it’s coming from love or caring. Eric is coming from a place of love and caring and the words he has used may be direct, but if you trust and believe in what Eric is about then I feel that we need to look beyond the semantics and embrace the positive message sent.
    As with the feeding and alcohol, we choose to do this to ourselves for genuine and painful reasons. If Eric decided to call people a sissy when they were in a situation where something bad [externally] was happening to them I might take exception but even then I will look at the whole picture and bring everything I have learnt from spirit and as hard as it would be, would accept that there is an higher purpose and I will not feel/know this fully until I go to spirit.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Hey Lorna,
      From what Erik has told me, it was his destiny to first have a very painful life so that he could develop the compassion and “soulfulness” he needed to do the work he’s doing now, then to kill himself. But between lives, he had designed his exit point to occur in his mid to late twenties so that he’d be living away from the family and we wouldn’t have to find his body the way we did. He does plan to incarnate again, but he’ll still have his Erikness and he’ll still be in the afterlife as well since it’s a multiself/no time thing. (That still confuses me.)

      As far as the sissy thing is, Erik does mean this out of love. Sometimes, we need some catalyst to raise us up on the emotional tone scale and anger is a step above depression and two steps above apathy, so it enlivens up to action sometimes. And again, this is only one example of the etiology for obesity. I know what you mean about alcohol. I have to have my nightly wine to comfort myself, to numb my feelings, to keep out the intrusive images that my post traumatic stress disorder brings. It’s my new favorite vegetable, but I say, everything in moderation is okay. Hopefully.

      Sending you warm hugs from across the Atlantic, little girl!

  • nikki

    Interesting that you bring up Anorexia Lorna. I dealt with Anorexia in college. I am not sure if it was brought on by the fact that dancers had to weigh-in three times a week (like wrestlers lol) or if I was predisposed to it via controlling/manipulative child rearing. Needless to say it is just as bad as being obese, starving yourself and depriving your body of nutrients because you want to be loved and think that skinny people are automatically loved (well only if you look like a model). It is amazing what we go thru to protect our heart and soul. Love is so important. And really it is all that matters.
    I still deal with body image issues (work out like crazy, but I do eat healthy). My angels seem to love me just the way I am, imagine that! And it only took me 50 years and the loss of a son to suicide to get it. Now to love others unconditionally.

    Hi everyone,

    I admit I was initially a bit alarmed at this ‘sissy’ thing. I am morbidly obese and an alcoholic in recovery (6 years!). I have been heavy since I was 5 years old; I suspect that I gained the weight as a defense mechanism due to verbal, emotional and sexual abuse. I have tried many diets and exercise programs to no avail. I feel that we can obese for many reasons, both spiritually and physically. To me it means that I can teach myself and others how to love unconditionally and non-judgmentally by looking beyond the physical to the person underneath the weight.

    I’m grateful for this blog. I can tell you that discussions here have helped and enlightened me tremendously and probably in ways I don’t know about yet.

    Leigh

    Thank you. Her name is Kayla (the 6 yr. old) and the family members are Shannon, Iantha and Gary. She has a rare disease that she was born with and it is not currently known what type of cancer (or stage) she has, they think it might stem from the genetic disease but that disease is so rare very little info. is known about it. The growth I believe is on the left foot but I am not 100% certain so maybe send healing to both just to be certain ;) The father, as I mentioned is in Afghanistan and he is not aware of this new news. They are afraid to let him know as he needs to remain focused on his safety (the LAST thing they need is for him to get hurt) it’s a very difficult position for them all to be in so all the prayers and healing are VERY much appreciated! I’m a believer! When the little girl nearly bled to death the other night, her siblings were in hysterics and this little angel never even cried. It just all goes back to what I have been reading here and in other books about our soul’s journey and contracts and it all just “clicks”. I also have wanted to tell you, and I am a little “tripped out” about it, but after my aunt passed away I had a very vivid dream about her. She was in an induced coma in the end and we never got to speak to her again. My grandparents were very bothered by the fact that she couldn’t share in family meals and favorite restaurants, etc. so they didn’t want to go on with those traditions when she was in this state. After she passed, I had a dream of her and she told me that she was with my great grandma and great grandpa and not to worry because she was eating and living it up -that great grandma was cooking some of the family recipes and she was getting the food from the source (meaning Great Grandma) so we need not feel bad for her. It was so vivid and real I felt compelled to share with my family. I never had another dream, that I recall anyway, of her. Not long after I found your blog I had been focused in connecting again (we have had many issues and troubles with her ex, her daughters basically a sad continuation of what she suffered through on earth so I have a lot of questions and things to tell her – ie I now understand many things she did and said now that were not clear to me earlier) and one night it happened, again, very vivid and we had an intense Q&A session of course I only remembered one Q&A (but a pretty amazing one with very good insight that I could not and would not have gotten from myself). I was startled awake when it was over and then went back to sleep. When I fully woke up again for the day, I did also recall we were like floating or flying in and out of some type of ladder type structure. I recalled how free and fun it was. Then about a week ago (and I had not been reading your blog as I was busy with work and I caught all up to present on archives) so it wasn’t like it was fresh on my mind nor did I even think or consider this would happen and that I would get a visit – wasn’t even really wishing for one (not that I wouldn’t welcome and love one but I feel like I don’t know him and why in the world would he come to visit me so it never really entered my mind if you know what I mean), I had a dream and again was floating and zipping in and out of this ladder type structure and it was with Eric – we had a ball – again very free and fun and.. FAST – I felt like a child that giddy excited feeling you got when someone would chase you – when you were so excited about something you thought you would burst. I did not see a face or anything but in my dream I knew, without a doubt that it was him and again, when it was over – I woke up from sleep very suddenly and my instant conscious thought was wow, that was really Erik and he really does visit people linked to the blog and this message. Then I went back to sleep. I don’t recall speaking to him or anything like that (though I could have – just no messages or convos were retained) but it was very clear and definite in my mind that his soul and mine had a little visit or play date. I think now understand how we may not see a body but we just KNOW and can identify each others energy. This also relates to questions we have about the source or otherworldy things – it might not be rational in our human mind, but it makes perfect sense within and just clicks, like your soul knows this to be true. I just adore you and feel as if I know many of you from what I read on the blog postings and comments. Its just warms this soul. XOXO

      Aw, Steph what cool dreams!! Don’t let Erik get you into any trouble (hee hee). He’s a bit of a daredevil. Anyway, thanks for the additional information. Sending all the healing thoughts I can to Kayla and her family (and you, of course.)

  • Steph

    oh, and the city that they live in is North Carolina, my friend (the wonderful aunt) lives in Las Vegas and the other family (grandparents and such) live in Georgia.

    Weight is such a sensitive subject that I have hesitated to post a comment to this subject until today. I was a normal birth weight baby and of average weight until around 7-8 yrs old. By the time I was in the 4th grade I weighed 185 lbs, 20 lbs more than my Dad. I was the biggest kid in the class, was teased at the bus stop, you name it. Not sure why or what happened but I was obsessed with desserts, treats etc and would even eat them frozen-right out of the freezer. It was a terrible time in my life. I finally slimmed down in the 7th grade by putting myself on a diet during lent (that Catholic thing-which I still don’t get)and exercising. I have battled my weight since then and it is a constant struggle to keep or get it off. After ALL of these years I have realized that my health is at risk if I don’t fight to stay in shape and that is my main, motivating factor. So I can agree with Erik that we are slowly killing ourselves by not addressing our food problems. I would really like to know what happened in my young life to propel me to such obesity as a child, maybe hypnosis would reveal this? So for all of you who have “put it out there” that you are over-weight you are not alone in your struggle. When I gain weight I know I am trying to hide behind it to avoid a relationship or opportunity, etc…I just don’t know WHY I want to avoid those situations. Being a part of this blog has made me realize what the term means “your body is a temple”. The church never elaborated on this but I now know it means our body is the temple of our soul and it should be treated as such. Thank you Elisa and Erik for providing so much wisdom and for the opportunity for all of us to share our pain as well as our joy.

      Have you ever undergone past life regression? I bet that would reveal something, Debbie. I just feel it so strongly. I’ve never been regressed but I’d just love to.

  • iola

    All of us are struggling with something. We all have fears and problems….its part of life I guess, but how cool is it that we can open up here, with our CE family, and not be criticized or made fun of in showing our soft undersides. You all humble me with your stories, with your bravery, with your wisdom. The family of my heart. I love you all!!! you too Erik..you smart alec! xoxoxoxoxoxo

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I was thinking the same thing, Iola. After all, our struggles are part of what makes us who we are and those who must play a pivotal role in any spiritual awakening usually must suffer in a way that makes them most able to complete whatever mission they’re here to accomplish. It’s the adversity that steels us. And yes, it’s nice to have a place where we can share our foibles knowing that we’ll be loved nonetheless. God, if you guys only knew all of my flaws. I could take up a week of posts just sharing those!

  • Tracy Lamont

    First off, big, big hugs to Stanley and all you other guys who may carry a little extra cuddliness. It takes all shapes and sizes to make a world. Wouldn’t it be weird if we were all the same? There’d be no diversity. Having a good heart and being kind and compassionate are the only ‘across-the-board’ attributes we all need to share.
    Hey, Elisa. How about Maria! You’ve been spotted by an LA producer. Erik sure has his ways and means of getting the blog noticed. I could be seeing you on TV sometime soon! How cool is that!
    I had a thought, also, that you should be regressed, Elisa. For the book mainly, to discover your previous lifetimes and links to Erik and your family in particular. But also, I have a feeling that you’re going to see some of us bloggies in your past lives. I’m actually certain of it. There’s a reason why we all feel so close, like a family.
    Oh and thanks for adding Maddy to your very long ‘Ask Erik’ list, you’re a darling xx

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I know, pretty cool. I spoke with her and she’s an amazing woman. Very sweet, very spiritual. I wonder if this is part of a wonderful mission for her (along with all of us, of course).

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Oh, and I haven’t done any past life regression but I hope to when I have the time.

  • Debbie B

    Elisa I have always wanted to do past life regression but have not been able to find a reputable therapist in my area. Does Jamie do past life regression?
    Synchronicity is at play,again. CE family(especially us girls) please take a minute to watch this little video I received this morning from a friend. Very appropriate as we discuss our self image-love to all.

      Beautiful song, Debbie! Thanks for sharing it! I don’t think Jamie does PLR. Have you checked the Newton Institute site?

  • Tony

    Elisa,
    Have you heard of this place? Lilly Dale
    http://www.lilydaleassembly.com/

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      No, I haven’t heard of it. Have you been there? It seems to have a nice energy about it.

  • Tony

    No, but I saw it on HBO, looks like a very spiritual place. I’m putting it on my bucket list :-) BTW have you used other mediums besides Jamie, kind of like a measuring stick?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Oh sure and I like all of them! Kim O’Neill, Felix Lee Lerma, Jeannie Barnes, Vicki Warren. They’re all the real deal. Lately I’ve been sticking with Jamie because she and Erik have such great chemistry. They’ve had several past life connections. Plus, she gives me a great deal. When you do weekly sessions, cost does become a huge consideration.

  • Debbie B

    Elisa I have been to LilyDale, years ago when I attended college in Erie, PA—wow, I had completely forgotten that. My girlfriend and I had a reading. I don’t remember my reading but do recall the reader told my friend there was a small black and white dog sitting beside her that had been a family pet. The reader was indeed correct! FYI-take a look at the website if you haven’t already. Lisa Williams is scheduled there in July for 3 workshops. Now wouldn’t that be a cool event to attend??

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      That would be so very cool. Is it very expensive.

  • jane

    Leigh I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m so sorry for all your precious 5 yo self went through. Love to you and prayers for you to find vibrant and constant love for yourself and help with any struggles.

    Elisa I plan on reading your book on raising self sufficient kids (not the exact title but hoepfully you know which one I mean. I know you didn’t just abandon them in a desert and say ‘fend for yourselves!’ Lol) Clearly you raised talented and strong children and I can learn a lot from your efforts there, I look forward to reading it!
