More CE banter

Sep 25

Jason, Robert and Erik

I love the banter between Erik and Jason, so I thought I’d share some more. I’ve also included Jason’s thoughts on the concept of time and a technique he uses to communicate with and sense spirits. He’s so gifted in this area that I consider him and Robert our resident experts. I recently introduced Robert and Jason so they could compare notes, share their “Erik Experiences” with each other, and realize they’re not alone as far as this ever-growing phenomenon goes. The similarities between their experiences are amazing. And now for your entertainment…

Jason’s Emails

I have seen some of the photos you posted, but I didn’t look to closely yet, because when reading your blog, I was sneaking at work! HA! But, really I love the facebook photos. Especially the family ones. I’ve even briefly seen a few of the videos. I LUV the one with his niece. I got to tell you though, last week when I first hit “play” I quickly shut it down, because it freaked me out. His laugh and voice was the same as in my head, and it really startled me. Not all the time mind you, my guides say they use less energy if they don’t use a distinct sound, and the sound won’t sound as distinct if I am distracted or letting my mind run amok.

I meant to save this up to write to you later, but since I am replying I’ll just go a head with another Erik story.

Last night after I wrote to you I was so wound up and overwhelmed that I was shaking and pacing about. So I went to the kitchen and was debating cereal again. Special K or junk. And of course, Erik pipes in with Marshmallows. I did an, “OMG”. and he laughs, and as I go back in the living room with the healthy stuff; He shows me this mental image of him ‘spooning marshmallow creme into his mouth and the squirting it between his teeth and then trying to talk!’ I was flabbergasted, and said something like, omg, that’s so disgusting… And then he said, Got any whip cream?!”

Then I tried to watch some Stargate reruns and couldn’t because I couldn’t stop letting my mind run amok. And Lydia took that opportunity to work with me some on energy merging. Then Erik joined in and was helping. He came in the room, and I saw his shimmer phase in and out around the room and he started saying, “Marco…. Polo”. And wanted me to try and find him. Then I closed my eyes, and we took it back to a ‘mind’s eye’ exercise, and I tried to envelop him in energy as he flew around me while spinning a shield, basically like tossing a net over someone running around you. And if I succeeded, it would draw the spirit right next to you for better communication while holding others outside your shield. Then when I did it, he plopped down next to me on the chair (he was sitting “IN” the arm of the chair!–totally weird!) and he put his arm around me and hugged me and said, seee- it was easy wasn’t it? And during that moment my entire left side from waist up was enveloped with heat, warm tingling pressure. Oh, he also hugged me in the kitchen when I was freaking out. Except before he did he danced around in front of me trying to get my attention (his shimmer form). I was really freaking out.

You know, every time a Spirit has touched me, each individual has a different area they tend to touch, and they each feel different. Like Erik: He’s the only one I’ve felt heat from. So interesting… Oh, and another thing: the few times I’ve experienced energy merges, it was always on my left side. I should try to dig up some reading material on that sometime.

I had a really hard time getting to sleep. Every time I closed my eyes I kept seeing faces fly around me, all different sizes and types and levels of clarity. Not scary, just weird. Every now and then my guides would say “shield.” It eventually started to freak me out, and Erik kept stopping by and sitting on my bed asking if I was ok, and telling me it would all be all right that “they’d let no harm come to me” and to just close my eyes and go to sleep. I kinda felt like at one point while sitting there he had his hand on my ankle so long it started to ache. So he moved and apologized. I finally had to pray for sleep cause I was exhausted. This morning, my guides said that the images were because I didn’t shut down my chakras and and shield before sleep.

Okaaayy..Back to work for me then.

Talk to ya Later!

Hugs!

Jason

My Response

He used to do that whole squirting between his teeth to his sisters too, exactly in that same sequence! How funny. I’m wondering if he’s trying to teach you how to “control” your conversations with spirit guides and that’s why he said, “See, that was easy” when you “roped him in.” I think he and your guides might want you to learn to be more in charge of the interaction with them? In that case, you have a challenge on your hands with Erik with his high energy level!

Much love, Baby Boy,

Your Other Mom

Lunch time walk. Interesting to note, on this walk, Erik took the role my main guide has always taken in the past as teacher. But all 3 of them were there. Erik did all the talking. For a whole hour teaching, communication, and banter. He even took me to task once, and then he told me he loved me and on the way back made lewd jokes (not in a mean way, but it pertained to myself and in another instance a family joke.) Sooo surreal. If there’s one thing about spirit communication that blows my mind every single time, it’s their sense of humor. Spirits are just people too. Although their motivations and feelings behind their personality may changed and now come from a new and unfamiliar perspective, they are the same as us.

I was just thinking about this and wondering why, if Erik has progressed, does he still have a potty mouth? Erik pipes in with, “What! Just because I moved up doesn’t mean I stop being me. It’s not like I am some ascended being.” *(to the average person this would indicate he swears a lot. That’s not the case at all when he talks to me. It’s just that I have this expectation of dignified holier than ME spirituality from Spirits. And that’s not the case with Erik. He’s like you and me, and sometimes a ‘beep’ slips out, or a lewd joking image crosses my mental path and we laugh).

9/21/10–

Early A.M.– Last night was pretty intense for me. I am not quite sure where to start. I wrote to Elisa about someone I briefly channeled in relation to the blog, and it was really weird, new and strange. I can’t be certain it was actually happening. Everything over the past week has been quite new to me.

After that, later in the evening after meditation, prayer and meeting with my guides, I felt bombarded with spirit movement and sight. I confess I was too scared to try to check in and figure out what was going on. I also kept being touched by a spirit or spirits, kinda got the feeling they wanted to talk. I started kinda freaking out. I had to take pills to get to sleep. I was glad I did too. The darkness was virtually rolling with shapes. Erik kept checking on me to see if I was ok.

Throughout that evening and this morning, off and on, I feel this energy on my left side. It feels like I have a fever. The left side of my face, ear, shoulder and elbow joints, and arm feel hot. I am not sure what’s going on. I meditate and shield and pray and connect to my guides and nothing seems amiss. Spinning my shields out I feel someone standing right next to me. My guides and Erik are not saying anything, almost as if this is a test. My gut tells me someone is attached to me or next to me. It feels like Erik, but he’s not saying why. I am in wait and see mode. I’ll post more when I find out.

9/21/10

9-10am

Today is Erik’s birthday, a really important day for his family. I am really hopeful they have some great family moments today filled with love and solace.

I just read online something Kim wrote, “You know, spiritual beings walk a fine line. They want to get our attention, but they don’t want to scare us too badly. To get our attention, they often have to do something a little out of the ordinary—” That is SO TRUE!!! I feel it all the time with every fiber of my being. I now feel that a lot of the frightening experiences I used to have were spirits: my guides trying to get my atheist apathetic self’s attention. And once they got it, and I changed, it’s now this fine line.

Today, Elisa is supposed to ask Kim about Erik and me. I feel bad because on one hand this day should just be about Elisa connecting to Erik, but on the other hand this is an opportunity to see if I am crazy or not via a 3rd party. I am so darn nervous and anxious. I am trying as hard as I can to focus on Erik’s family and their feelings. Also, I know this is selfish, but If all of this has been just crazy and mental illness on my part, I just want to know and try to get on with life. Uh gosh. that was bad. I just need to stop and take a breather.

You know, since yesterday I’ve been thinking about how Erik feels to me in my head. It almost feels like he’s a parent to me, but not really. I can’t figure it out. It’s really strange. this feeling. Another thing about Erik that feels weird is how I precieve him in my mind. Feeling spirits for me is akin to remembering a favorite meal from Grandma. It’s almost tactile: remembrance of the sight, the flavor, the memory of how it smelled and how good it made me feel. Not how it really was or is, but some strange amalgamation of all of it, and then it talks! For example, from a materialist point of view, I don’t know him or his family at all. I know nothing about them. I don’t know what they’ve done with their lives, what they’ve experienced, what they talk about, or even what their personalities are like. I should NOT be having anything to do with them. And I feel guilty as heck, even contacting Elisa, like I am trying to take something from her. I wasn’t looking for anything other than to say thank you. But when Erik unexpectedly appeared to me it was akin me falling to the floor with the shock of someone plugging a hole in my soul. I am still trying to figure out why. I don’t understand. I keep asking “Why me?” and Erik said, “Why not? Just because you don’t think you’re anyone doesn’t mean God thinks that way.” I said, ‘HUH?!?’ He said, “Hey, it’s your choice. It’s all about what door your gonna go through”.

So bizarre. I keep wondering about the way Erik looks in my mind. It’s different than the guides I’ve ever knew in this life time. With them, they just glow bright white and yellow, in a weird mix of features-shadow-light-black and white to color that fade in and out of clarity of something that looks like a real person to just a disembodied voice. My grandparents on the other hand are like that, but their faces flit back and forth between how I recognized them when they were alive to what they looked like in their youth and unrecognized features. Erik is like them, only brighter, except I never knew him in this life. And the only thing I recognize of him in my mental image as it relates to his photos is his eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth, and hair. He feels older to me. I never once thought, oh? -a 20 year old. He feels my mental age. Mid 20′s-30. (I guess that’s near 20). It’s just when I read the blog, I think teenager, and he’s not a teenager in my head. *(but he often acts like one-ha ha ha.)

10:50am–

Just got back from my lunch walk along the river. Here I am sitting in my little cubicle corner at work, quietly going crazy without anyone the wiser. I feel sick to my stomach, my left side has been very warm and buzzing off and on all day. Sometimes, I touch my ear and I think, OMG I have a fever, but it’s just my left side! Erik says it’s to better connect. A lot of communication happened, a lot of spirit touching, even had a dragonfly zip along side me and up over on the walk.

The talk on my walk: Other than Erik taking me to task for my fear and disbelief, there were 2 important discussions. One: mostly from Roger it was about future vision vs living in the now, choices, opening doors, free will and Two: a message for his family. I could go on and on, but I don’t have the time, because I am at work. But basically it involved them trying to calm me down, school me on my fear, talking to me about free will, and how it affect my choices. For example. I am standing in a room. There are 4 doors: 3 ahead of me and one behind me. If I take the door behind me, while a valid choice-and allowed-it only leads back down to a dark path full of potential pain and suffering. If I take door #1, it will open straight ahead to 10 different doors full of possibilities. If I take door #2 it will lead up to 3 doors- full of self enrichment and guidance and healing for others. If I take door #3 it will veer off to the side and lead to 2 doors- fulfilling, but more self centered and not as many opportunities to help others. All are valid choices. God will allow all of them. And some doors will even have emergency exits to get to the other doors. It’s up to me, to choose. If it was easy there’d be no point in this life.

The message for the family was kinda personal, but full of love. I was kinda scared to tell them cause it is their special private day, but Erik talked me into it.

Email from Me

I talked to Erik through Kim, and he said he’s with you a lot because you two are platonic soulmates and were even twins in the past! He says you two have always been really, really close. He likes to hang with you basically to reunite. He’s not there to guide or teach so much. It’s like he shows himself sitting in a recliner chair in front of a big screen TV to indicate he likes to “kick back” with you. So whenever he feels the need to kick back, he comes to you. You two are also spiritual equals, and Erik says you are a guardian angel on the earthly plane while he’s a guardian angel on the spiritual plane. I’ll eventually transcribe everything word for word, but I have a long queue so it might take a while!

Hey, so if you guys are like brothers, I guess that does make me your second mom!!

Love you!

9/22 am–

Yesterday Elisa briefly told me that she talked to Kim and Erik in regards to me. When I read what she said I felt like collapsing and sobbing with relief and happiness. I never, never ever expected to receive the gift of ‘validation of Spirit’ from a living person with love. I will never ever doubt again. The entire rest of the day I was grinning like a crazy child. It felt like I was stretched thin with joy, like I’d found a part of myself that was missing, like God pulled back the the gingham kitchen curtain and handed me a flower and said, “Here ya go! It’s from your garden,” only a garden I couldn’t remember having until now. Over and over again, Erik and my guides and a nameless voice kept saying, “REMEMBER- and live in the now”, “Remember your promises”. All the while, I could feel Erik laughing and laughing in my head and dancing around me hugging me, head against head, saying, “Seeeee? I told you, I told you!” as if all that energy built up and silence was an opportunity for the big reveal. It reminds me of the David Cook song that goes something like, “When you find you, come back to me”. I am still having a hard time with “why me?” This should be about a mom and her son and their family. I feel a mix of guilt and joy.

I’d like to reply to two things that were mentioned in that email. One was how Kim described Erik visiting me. The visitations in a chair in front of the TV were precisely correct. No if’s and’s or but’s, totally accurate. The most intense eye-visual activity and mental telepathy happened from last spring to present in that chair-in front of the TV. Whether it was on or not. The other thing I want to reply to was the whole guardian angel thing. I don’t know how I feel about that terminology. Keep in mind every spiritual system, medium, believer etc. uses different terminology that can mean different things to different people. I certainty don’t feel like any kind of angel or guide. I think I must make a pretty crummy angel. I am just me, trying to make sense of it all. Ever since I was a kid, all those job tests they give kids said I should have gone into the clergy or be a vet. And growing up with evangelical parents I was always devastated with the idea that their God didn’t want me and said I couldn’t help anyone, that there was something wrong with me. I know now that’s not true. I feel like I’ve got to make up for lost time, like I was robbed, and I need to figure out the hows and whys and whats.

I think the following will be a great challenge for me to work out. I am not interested in future telling, making money, or proving anything. I am interested in how to get closer to God, how to live the life I need to live to help people. I don’t want to know the future, I don’t want to know what door to step through. I feel I’ll be ok.

The hard part for me other than fear and belief has not been connecting to Spirit or even channeling; the hard part is figuring out how to keep living to the best of my ability, to do right by myself, others and God. You know, knowing what I know, the glimpses I’ve seen, felt, or read about and yet still go on living in the now…that’s hard!

Elisa, Hugs as always– Erik sends his love.

Anywhoo…

The latest Erik banter: I say, “Hey little brother.” He replies with, “Hey old man”. I called him a brat, and he said almost immediately; “Old lady!”

9/22 11:30am –

Another intense walk with guides. Erik stopped in at the end of it. In my mind’s eye, my guides sat me down, and we talked seriously about the need to remember and try with great effort to meet and fulfill my responsibilities: a large laundry list that was so easy but so hard. All at the same time, I need to remember my recent promises to spirit: To work hard, to maintain, develop and grow my personal relationships, to learn as much as I can about spirit (long list), to accept and work on my new responsibilities, and when the time is right, to move in new directions without fear and with fierce determination. I must do right by my families, old and new. I must strive towards all this while at the same time tackling this with the same intensity I used to pursue obsession and channel it for the greater good.

I was and am totally overwhelmed. I was told I need to keep forgiving myself, that we are all human, we all make mistakes and will keep making them in the future. “We know you keep asking God for forgiveness and keep saying how grateful you are for second chances. Don’t you know, God will always give you a second chance? You will always be welcomed back. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay for the consequences of your actions. If you had gone down that road, you very well could have gotten a fatal disease, been beaten, lost everything and lived a life of pain and suffering, empty relationships and personal strife. But God would have taken you back. You just wouldn’t have been able to help anyone and would have lived only to learn the empathy of pain. But you didn’t so quit doubting yourself and go!”

Towards the end of the walk I was experiencing the renewed guilt of the imagined possibility of losing all this new communication, of losing Erik of I don’t know… just me being a worry wart. Erik came up to me and put his arm around me and said I was being ridiculous. That would never happen, but even if it did, I have to keep on living, and that, that was a lesson in and of itself. Was I gonna sit there paralyzed in doubt and fear and selfish self loathing or was I gonna do something about it? I feel overwhelmed. Living mindfully I guess is where I start.

I just hope I can get on with getting on and not let too many people down. Where to start, where to start. Erik says I need to work on reconnecting to my brother. He’s bipolar and went off his meds because they were making him sick, and he and his wife are expecting their first baby. I feel intense, intense guilt regarding them. I took my brother off the street as a young adult, and we battled his disease and his drug addition and suicidal feelings for a few years. I always felt if I could just fix him, everything would be alright. But it wasn’t until I realized I had to live for myself that we were able to get him help. Now many years later he seems to be doing ok. But since his going off his medication and a death in the family, we’ve had a hard time connecting. I guess it’s little stuff like that I need to strive for while living in the now.

I feel drained. One good thing about daily meditative walks with Spirit is that it renews me and fills me with hope.

All my love to your family,

Jason

My Netflix DVD last night was the ‘Transporter.” I put it in the DVD player, and I join my spouse in the living room and plop down in my chair, and Erik pops in and hollers, “Finally, something good!” And I say, ” What, a slightly morally repugnant movie w/ cursory tales of redemption, love and rescue?” .. And he said, “Yeah, not the best.” Then I thought to myself, ‘Kinda like the tale of Humanity.’ But, as I like to call him, ‘ol buzzing-hot-ear’ sat down next to me for a good chunk of the movie. He does not stay still for very long for anything. I have to say it’s very bewildering having a disembodied soul do air drums and mime M & M style moves to a movie sound track, or, shout out “Freakin-AWESOME” during an escape scene. He also loved the axe-wielding fight scene. He said, “ninjas with axes!” I think I spent the better part of the movie in shock, trying to keep my jaw off my lap, and the same time struggling with every thing I’ve been going through, asking myself, ‘Why was I allowed to reconnect with my “REAL LIFE” regardless of how small or restricted it is. Why me?’

Someone I greatly respect, Chris Di Nucci from the the Bristol Spirit Lodge Circle, told me I had retained an awareness of Spirit when I was born into this life. I wondered is it because I asked? Because I went looking?

The answer according to my guides it’s all about intent. God, The Universe, Spirit is not going to give you something you are not aware of or don’t want. It’s when you become aware of the possibilities that the possible happens. Only you can decide what you want. It was only after I discovered that a family across time, space and the universe, created by God was a possibility that it was revealed to me as something tangible and real. The very idea of close emotional family and friend bonds in Spirit; Family, could, can, — does exist in forgotten bonds outside this mortal coil has been mind blowing!

Someone just flashed the lights on for a second, and in that brief flash, I saw a surprise party and a room full of people… I need help finding the lights!!

**side note.

Ok, I’ve got to tell you, being told, “Hello…!!, Seeee, I told you!.. So stop being a dum-sh*t” by a spirit is a real wake up call. Here I am having a freak out, (yes, another one) whether or not a guy (Robert) is going to think I am a freak or not, and yet all the while we have so much in common.

P.S. The “peanut gallery” loves to “roll his eyes and groan.”

My Response

Jason, this is so well written! And btw, Erik could never sit still for a movie or anything else for that matter. He constantly paced, arms crossed, around the kitchen island over and over again. Plus, the medium, Felix Lee Lerma, kept saying how he was playing drums on his leg, so that makes sense too. What a goof ball. I love that the personality survives death, don’t you? I guess it depends on the personality, though!

Off to work!

Hi Jason and Elisa!

I loved this! Erik doesn’t like most of the movies I like to watch…too many “chick flix”, and “brainy sh*t” for his taste, as he tells me. :-) You hear a lot of the same things as I do when I do watch something more his speed. It has never been unnerving and isn’t that distracting to me. I love the constant chatter back and forth. A few days ago, I told him and his mate (I call her Jennifer, Jen for short) that at long last I no longer feel lonely. When I said that, I heard an emphatic “thank you” from them and a whole chorus of others. Erik said I’d made a whole lotta souls there very happy…which brightened my day for sure! These conversations feel so very natural…and I can easily find someone to chat with about whatever I want to talk about at a given time…though I mostly converse with Erik and Jen. I’m always asking Jen if she’s keeping Erik in line, and she laughs and says he’s a handful, but she loves it! Erik loves to quip “yeah, you know you love it!” He’s a smarty pants! :-) I’ve mentioned before how he’s protective…but also loving. I always tell them to give hugs and kisses (or the soul equivalent thereof) to each other and all others around them. I always ask for them for myself too, which they oblige…I smile big time when they do…can’t help it! Erik is always around you Elisa, even if you can’t feel him…so when you need hugs and kisses, just ask…you know he’ll shower you with as many as you want…till eventually you’ll be beaming. :-)

Jason, you mention being aware of Spirit since birth…I think it is because you are evolved and prior to getting here you wanted to keep that awareness…which in turn drove you to start looking while here. Good work in finding it while still here!! I believe in doing so you’ve evolved further…I’m always hearing “my light shines bright…far brighter than I could imagine”. I believe the very same applies to both you and Elisa…there are many who are happy with the progress you’ve both made! Jason, I’ll never, ever, ever think you are weird or freaky!! That’s why Erik rolls his eyes…because he knows I wouldn’t…don’t take offense when he does that…he just wants what’s best for you..as do all of those on the spirit plane… :-)

Hugs and love to you both!!

Robert

9/24– 8:22am

Last night after I went to bed and was trying to fall asleep. I was drifting off and I feel Erik get real close to my head and says in a quiet soft clear voice, ” If I didn’t love you, do you think I’d go to all this trouble? If I was some evil spirit would you have been lead back to God? Would I have led you to a family of unconditional love and acceptance? Do you really think God loves you any less?” I immediately got up, went down stairs and wrote it down. The shimmer forms followed me down and waited for me to write it down and then vanished. I slept really well.

****7am

This morning on the way to the bus I was elated. A confirming and comforting email from a dear friend greeted me upon waking up. Of course Erik was there dancing around me on the way to the bus stop, not literaly as far as I could tell, but in my minds eye. Ol Mr. Hot Ear laughing away. And walking with him was a woman holding his hand. She softly said, Seee? And then my mind’s eye clouded over, and it was just her face in white fog. She put her face up next to mind and said, “Try to focus.”

A button nose came into being. But when I tried to reach and see more, it got all elongated and distored. And she said, no just let it happen. The nose went away and little, higher cheek bones elongated and appear and then disolved back into nothingness. She had dark silky hair, but loves to change the color.

In last night’s vision it was feathered, and the tips seems fringed with color (purple?) matching purple pants. Big soft eyes, long lashes. I didn’t get the eye color in either vision, but they were blue in the first vision yesterday afternoon.

Then it all blew away in a wind, and Erik starts laughing like a mad man, and then he and the woman pop into a dance hall on a stage and he whips out a Justin Beiber” wig and pulls it on his head like a hat and then sings “You gotta live your life” and then starts screeching, yes screeching in a squeaky high cracking voice, “Baby, baby, baby”.. .all the while he and the woman started, no; deliberately started dancing in a miming disjointed fashion as if it were a bad SNL skit. Erik shouts out, “See! I am cool like that!” Then I numbly stepped onto the bus stop with a strange grin on my face and trying to keep the tears out.

From Robert to Jason

Erik and Jen are very playful with one another! We all converse and tease one another…well, Erik teases Jen and I…and I tease Erik. :-) If I lived with someone, I know they’d wonder what I am laughing so loudly at all the time! Erik now pops in while I’m chatting with others on the phone or typing emails…He LOVES to see if he can make me lose my train of thought, and when he succeeds, he laughs with glee…I never get annoyed…It’s just not possible…heh…

I don’t believe there are any photos of Jen when she was on earth, as I don’t believe she’s been here for quite some time. I don’t get moving images of Jen and Erik like you…it is largely auditory with still images when I choose to see them. I’ve seen Jen clearly. The closest person here on this plane to compare her looks too is Megan Fox…beautiful blue eyes, full lips…petite…Erik just popped in as I’m typing this saying, “my girl is the HOTTEST!”…when she and I chat, her voice is very feminine…soft, soothing, pleasant…she’s also very humble and shy at first. She prefers to keep in the background…which is very much the way I am. I’m so happy they found each other! They are a great match. If you haven’t noticed, I’m a very, very detail-oriented person too…grin. It makes perfect sense that you get a lot of imagery, since you are a big picture guy. I, on the other hand, am big on words, which explains why I get so much verbal stuff.

I hope you and your hubby have to relaxing nights sleep and an excellent day at work Friday!

xoxo to you!

Robert

Email from Jason

I am also attaching this little doodle I drew last night. I was contemplating time and how Erik appears to be in more than one spot at the same time. I am sure it’s scientifically nonsense, but I think it’s an interesting visualization stating that time is precieved differently depending on the viewer. I’ll attach it to this email.

Erik was touching me in different spots tonight. He said I should try sensing where he was or if it might be him from random touches, and I thought of a technique I once read about and tried.

You can do this at night before bed or when your alone in a room during the day. It’s a great visualization technique to attempt to feel Spirit energy. #1 First pray to or just ask in your mind, God or the light or whatever, or ask your guides/angels to help you with communication for the greater good in whatever way Spirit or God will allow. #2 When you lay down in the dark Or daylight ect. trying to sleep, meditation and what not. Lay down on your back, put your hands and arms to your side, blanket off. Sheet down. Close your eyes and stare at the back of your eye lids. Breath normal but long steady. Imagine there is someone across the room from you. But you can’t make them out. You have no idea what they look like. Doesn’t’ matter. But if you think of a person, just try to imagine how they make you feel. Bask in that feeling. Take your time. Imagine you can just make out their shape behind your eye lids. The shape is non distinct. The shape is heavy, imagine it coalescing and getting thicker. Like a fog coming into being. In your imagination, will it to come closer,,, and closer…and closer…. Imagine the air feeling heavier around you. Thick. Thicker… Closer Closer….. Imagine that the fog shape is thick and next to you. Imagine that it is hovering right next to your face but not touching. Imagine the shapes outlined from behind your eyelids. As if it is partially blocking the light. Then.. let your breath go still…. and concentrate on your hair follicles. You may have to practice trying to feel your hair with your eyes closed ahead of time. Just be still and wait, thinking of nothing but seeing if you can feel your hair, any where on your body. Don’t ever forget #1. It’s sets the ‘intent’. But #2 can be altered to however way you find works best. I found this to be a good beginning technique to begin sensing spirit touches. Not telepathy, that’s different.

LOL! That sounds sooo much like Erik! he’s such a ham! Jen is just as you describe too…very caring personality…long lashes…cheek bones just as you describe and yes, she does like to change her hair color…when I first saw her, it was deep brown…almost black…she usually keeps it as darker colors…

      3. I can relate to the fear part. When Erik appeared to me, I was scared. It takes some getting used to. Last night I had a lucid dream about my Grandmother Emma. That was VERY welcome. SO wonderful to see her shining face.
      4. My guides have quite a sense of humor too. It must be nice to leave this fettered life and lighten up. I dreamed last night about the miners who are stuck underground in Chile and terrible state of our economy. When I “woke up” (or went back to sleep some would say!), I asked for Reiki energy (Universal energy) to be sent to help these situations and asked Erik to go visit the miners. I hope he can lighten their spirits.
      5. As far as feeling warmth on the left side, Reiki teaches that each body part and side has symbolic meaning. You might ask Erik why he connects with the left side. I know one side stands for masculine and the other feminine. Intuition is considered feminine, and that might be why he’s touching the left. One more way of making a point.

          • I wondered about that too. Since Erik died, I feel him always on the left side: hot and goosebumpy and usually on that side of my face. When I read your part about Erik visiting the miners, here’s what popped into my mind along with a big Erik guffaw: he’s driving a beat up Pacer with a pizza delivery sign/light on top but it says “light delivery” then some random number. I think he’s teasing us about sending him from pillar to post but the hearty belly laugh tells me he loves it.

      17. All of you must be very psychically gifted as I would love to have just 1/10th of the types of experiences i’m reading here. How can you perceive the other side so well? I can only read about it and learn, but I never perceive like this.
      18. I do think that y’all are blessed to be able to be so sensitive in this psychic kind of way.

      26. Wow! This is absolutely amazing! I agree with Steve, I wish I had 1/10 of what you all are able to do…although as Skoshi said, there is some fear attached to that wish as well.
      27. Have to tell you something my husband told me about. I’m not sure if it relates to you and your friend who recently passed but…
      28. My daughter Bella, who is three, I believe sees spirits. She has talked about them being there and has pointed to specific spots. Anyways, my husband said that just a few nights ago Bella told him that a friend or maybe friends had passed away and that they had their dogs with them. Since we don’t have anyone we know (at least not that we know of) that has passed away recently, I wondered if she was talking about your friend. Thought that was interesting…

      32. Steve, you might want to get a Reiki treatment to clear out any stuck or stagnant energy in your systems. And I do mean systems, plural, as we are more than physical. You could have stagnant energy in your etheric system from a previous life and not even know it. I understand being “clear” makes us more able to access what is actually already around us but we’re not “in touch.” I think that might be one reason why babies and little children can perceive more than adults can…they haven’t yet built up stagnant energy in their chakras/meridians. We know that if we step on a pebble, in order to feel it, there has to be a good connection between the nerves in the feet and the brain. Perhaps a diabetic with poor circulation might not even perceive a pebble. I don’t think the science of this phenomenon is any different…in order for us to be in touch with beings who are vibrating at a different rate, our vibration needs to be as high as possible and all the channels for reception as unblocked as we can manage.
      33. Through Reiki sessions, Reiki masters get unblocked during the process of becoming masters. I have the tingling in my crown chakra ALL the time, and when I meditate, I can feel it down through my skull, and down my throat and up about a foot over my body. Like Elisa says, sometimes the vibration is to the point where it’s nearly annoying. When a chakra is trying to communicate a need to me or get my attention, I get a very definite tingling, pleasant, swirling feeling.
      34. For example, when my friend, Ellen, died, her husband and parents asked me to say the prayer at the memorial service. I pre-wrote the prayer so I could give a copy to her father, who is quite deaf and wouldn’t have heard it otherwise. When I was composing it, my “third eye” was tingling and swirling very powerfully. I believe Ellen communicated what she wanted me to say. Ellen was very beautiful physically and had such a kind heart. She was a real nature lover and very active in our garden club. We did (I don’t live there any more) free projects all over the community to improve it. Anyway, the prayer related things in nature to her, and she had me say, “when you feel a breeze on your cheek, remember my breath on your cheek.” When I said those words, her husband nearly fell off his chair. It really resonated with him.

      38. Just to toss in my 2 cents, regarding the constant positioning on the left, it might also have to do with the simple fact thats that is where the heart is *shrug*
      39. I understand the fear thing also, which has kept me from pursuing much of this kind of thing. Though enticing, to be able to have such a connection and be able to work with and communicate with spirits, it’s also terrifying in that once you “turn it on” you cannot really turn it off. As Jason noted, he is constantly ‘bombarded’ with spirits. Even though Erik seems to be there to help, it still seems VERY overwhelming. I have had very limited experiences with anything like this (had 2 visitations) and the last one rattled me so bad I was obsessed wit it’s “message” for about a week. I cannot imagine having to deal with something like this on a day to day basis. Having to block and shield yourself just so you can get some sleep is kind of nuts. I try to do some astral (?) projection when I go to bed, and concentrate on the ‘darkness’ of my closed eyes, but invariably I just fall asleep and that is that….thankfully. Sure there are people I would love to talk to and have visit or be able to go and visit, but being bombarded with everyone else would be just to much. I think my dad keeps wanting to come through, but I keep telling him to go away, since he hurt me so bad I really don’t want to deal with him. I ask for “those only in the light” and that seems to help..
      40. Anyways, long rant I guess, I need to make up my mind if this is something I want to pursue or just continue to ‘experience’ on the fringes, or “vicariously’ as Elisa says.
      41. Cool blog entries, thanks for sharing =D

          • I’ve tried to do the whole astral travel too, Tom (I call you “Stellar Tom” to my family) and I just conk out. I’ve heard that there are ways you can shut things off, techniques channels use, for example, but I can’t remember any of them. It may be as simple as saying, “Please leave. I need my privacy now.” But what do I know?

      46. I’d like to apologise for not replying to any of the posts before. I normally tend to be kinda private and shy. I’d also like to apologise for this post being kinda messy. Spelling and grammer are often a challange.
      47. I’d like to thank Tom and Elisa for posting the last two replies. It’s a poiniet reminder of something I would like to take notes on in my personal research. To document in my experiences. That being specifically here:
      48. -Energy merges and left side communication.
      49. –note, uncertain as it pertains to me, but I’ve read that that is always the position that spirits take during a blending. It may very well have to do with organ placement, I just don’t know. And in mediumship it is always facilitated with the permission of the medium, their spirit team, and the approaching spirit. That is why it is only a part of the body. The medium simply steps aside and the spirit team facilitates this. It is never a possession or obsession. Those terms pertain to lower level spirits without the permision of a spirit team and guides and always are a result of a person who has allowed their spirit or vibrations to fall low.
      50. -Fear; a great battle of mine. Mostly it is rooted in human ego and selfishness as it pertains to these experiences. Due in large part to my religious background, and family situation. Not fear of spirits or communication. I am not quite ready to give the gory details of my personal history as to why that is quite yet. But it’s not fear of spirits. Additionally it’s difficult to talk about this sort of thing because I fear rejection do to people’s religious beliefs and the fear that they will turn hostile to me and reject me. But currently my belief system is a combination of Spiritism and Spiritualist. Of which I am Spiritually in the closet, as my family is made up of evangelicals and atheists. I have no fear of spirits. Them I understand. It’s people I fear. Emotions I fear. God has helped me raise my spirit, behavior and moral stance, my vibrations if you will. I never engage in mental Spirit communication without first deliberately connecting to God and my Spirit team. Ever. Period. They contacted me to turn my life around to be able to make connections. If you don’t maintain a higher vibration or connect to God/Spirit first, you run the risk of contact with bothersome spirits. I could go on and on, but that sort of talk is all over the Internet. The only Spirits that contact me outside of this, are my spirit team/guides/angels if you will; and they will ONLY talk of things Spiritual, and are quite serious about the progression of souls. Getting them closer to God.
      51. Honestly, Erik is the only Spirit I’ve encountered that just wants to hang out and chat with me. Even Jen his girlfriend only wanted to talk to me to help me learn something. Erik is constantly telling me to connect with God and my guides. Every time I have an emotional melt down or freak out over something I ‘see’ that’s the first thing that is said. That Erik says.
      52. But yea, your right. I can’t turn off my eyesight. I can ‘tune it out to a large degree and ignore stuff. But that, and feeling their energy, I’ve not been able to tune out. I will tell you, I personally believe almost all visual manifestations are because they want it. Not because I am special.
      53. Mentally turning off the talk, that’s easy. I can go into it more later, but for me it’s the exact opposite you sometimes read about. You’ll find a lot of stuff online that says to hear your guides you need to still your mind. For me it’s the opposite. I hear through active engagement of talking in my head. It’s like I am talking at them from the center of my head, and they reply in the upper front above my eyes. If I go all still, empty and silent, “THEY” say I am blocking or ignoring them or telling them to hush. They say communication is facilitated through the firing of communication/talk neurons. Not the void of silence.
      54. Oh, and I always, always, before I initiate communication, I go through a meditative prayer. The words do not matter one i-ota. I use them to help remind me, as a way to visualise my connection technique. I do this before bed too. I thank God and Spirit for various things, I talk about any rights or wrongs in my life that need fixing or taken care of. I pray for those in my life, and those who’ve gone before. I thank God for gifts and communications, and guidance he’s given me. And I ask that if it be in God’s will or Spirits, for the greater good to accept any communication from those who are with him in the light of Heaven for the greater good. Then I run through various mental exercises for energy cleansing and shielding. Then I just dig in and start chatting away. Or mostly being talked to, by my guides. It’s my rule- I try never to break.
      55. Erik broke that rule. He thinks I am too wound up. I quote right now, “DUDE, she is such a SPAZ!”. “laughter….”
      56. Another thing, Guides, Angles, and all mid to upper level spirits are VERY respectful of us. If I tell them give me space they do back off. I think a lot of the visualization I see is actually Erik pacing back and forth waiting for me to calm down. When I am having a little selfish temper tantrum I’ve not been the best at reconnecting to God and Spirit. I often like to have a pity party where no one else is invited.
      57. Well, enough of that for now. I just want to reiterate that the keys to Spirit communication for me; is belief that it is possible; making your life- so that the life you lead matches your moral, ethical and spiritual, or religious values; That will keep your vibrations up. And lastly connect to a higher power be that God, Spirit, the light whatever. And ask, ask for communication only with those in the light with God, for communication, teaching and guidance for the greater good. I go into it more online. I realise it sounds awfully and horribly preachy. But it’s just my personal experience and doesn’t have to mean didilly squat for anyone else.
      58. OK, be nice and go easy on me guys. I am a total newbie and kinda got some raw nerves. I am still doing the baby steps over stepping stones. I check in every few days. I’ll try to post in the forum some too as time goes on. Peace and Love to you all, -J

      62. Hey Jason!
      63. Honey, this is your safe place to land. You will not be attacked, devalued or undermined in this space and you have the love and support of many. Don’t worry about your family. It is not necessary to “come out of the spiritual closet” to them because it will only cause confusion and pain. What is important is that you seek out the company, love and support of like-minded people where you feel safe and honored. Your “family” is quite large and not necessarily biological. Understanding that genetics does not require commitment (to the beliefs and ideals of others) on your part is a step in the right direction of finding your place in the world by living your Truth. This means living without fear. Those individuals who do not operate at the same vibration you do will soon fall away from your life experience. You can feel love in your heart, wish them well and not invite conflict and discomfort into your life.
      64. On to more interesting stuff! I also use a chant/prayer to guarantee the “quality” of the energy/entities I am channeling or receiving information from. I was getting some weird, interfering garbage on occasion before I learned the following technique:
      65. Before connecting with guides, deceased loved ones, etc., I do a brief grounding then say or chant “Ahn Nur (On Noor)” – meaning God’s Light in ancient Arabic -3 times then call upon Heavenly Father (Alah) and Heavenly Mother (Azna), my highest Guides and Angels and any other guides or spirits of 100% pure light that wish to support my personal and spiritual growth. As I begin the chant, I imagine pure white light/love/energy pouring down into my crown chakra, connecting me with the highest vibration of the Divine.
      66. By the way Elisa, Erik has been showing up consistently since my connection with him last week so I’ve just been adding him to my “invitation list” on an as-he-wishes basis. :)

          • Ditto, Shannon! You’re so loving. I can’t wait til Jason reads this comment. And I love that Erik visits you. I hope he behaves. He pulls stinky pranks on Jamie all the time. I think he kind of has a crush on her. He used to get lots of platonic crushes on women all his life. It’s like he gets totally smitten with them.

      74. Yay Jason! I’m overjoyed to see your reply on the blog! :-) I’ve no doubt Erik has already said “See! What did I tell you!” He did that to me when I had doubt about what he’d been prodding me to do. Now I no longer doubt myself and can’t wait till the time is right for my lifework to begin in full force! You are so very loved Mister! :-)

      78. Oh! Thank you Shannon and Elisa. Shannon, those words of yours felt so nice. The past few day’s I’ve had another breakthrough in dealing with all this thanks to Erik, Robert, and Elisa. I think I am on my way to being 100%.
      79. It sounds like we have a lot in common. I am thrilled to hear that our ‘connection to Spirit’ techniques seem to have so much in common.
      80. I think all of us who channel should write out in detail how we connect. Because people don’t quite understand just how easy it is. Everyone of us has a slightly different way of doing it. Which causes a lot of doubt and insecurity. But the basics are all so similar. From my experiences and what I’ve read our brains are hardwired to connect. I know people think all this visualization is just crazy, but it works. You just have to believe it does. It’s that simple. Knowledge that it exists, then the practice with intent.
      81. Your description of light pouring down is spot on correct.
      82. You know what I am gonna do. Over the next few days I am going to post a new thread in the forum detailing my connection/channeling technique.
      83. I am also thrilled to hear lots of others are getting connected to Erik. I am going to start posting in the forum more. So we all can compare notes. Robert and I have been comparing notes as to some of Eriks more quirky antics. For instance, has anyone else run into the fingers in the nose pig face from Erik? Another fav. is the cocked head, bulging eyes out and sticking his tongue at you.
      84. He also loves to jump in and play with you while your listening to music. For example; Yesterday I was writing to Elisa and I got to a part in the letter where I was describing an Epiphany I’d had regarding where I was at in life. All of a sudden the Lady Gaga song, “Just Dance” came on the radio and my minds eye flashed over and I had a vision of him and Jennifer jumping in front of me, dancing to the music and grinding their booties in the most, ummm. shall we say ungraceful way. It was quite shocking and made be bust out laughing.

          • The pig nose and bug eye/tilted head is all him for sure. In fact, I think there’s a pig nose picture of him with Michelle. He’s behind the share she’s sitting in. If you can’t find it, let me know. I bet Erik is so happy to have such wonderful friends.

      88. Hi Jason,
      89. Great idea about posting channeling techniques! There are as many techniques as there are people in the world so maybe the blog family will give it a go and start consciously connecting. Of course you’re right about being hardwired to connect to Spirit! How else are we to find our way home? I think the biggest hurdle for most people is understanding how subtle the energy can be so it’s easy to think you’re making it up or to disregard it altogether.
      90. By the way, those “words of mine” are from the heart and therefore from Spirit. You are truly loved unconditionally and completely accepted just the way you are. I am honored to have connected with you.
