Quick Q&A on the Readings

In the past several weeks I’ve received some questions about the readings and I thought I’d share the answers with everyone in case someone else has the same one. You can also get more answers in the Readings FAQ.
Does a person’s energy stay with you after a reading?
Yes, to some extent. If I’m doing several readings in a row then I have to zip the connection closed so I can open it to the next person’s guides. When I’m done for the day, I do a meditation to thank all the spirits, guides, and higher selves I’ve worked with for the day, and to close down my connection so I can rest peacefully and not continue to get extra information while dreaming. If you got a reading from me and have a quick follow up question, the best time to get an answer is within an hour of me doing the reading. If you ask me after that then I have to go back in, open myself up, reconnect, and it takes a lot more time.
Why is there a limit of 3 questions on the email readings?
It takes me about 15-20 minutes to answer just those three questions because I’m typing instead of speaking. With a phone reading, which is 20-30 minutes, I can usually answer 7-15 questions. In the email readings I also sometimes get important information that my sitter didn’t ask for which I am compelled to pass on, and that takes extra time too. So I offer 3 questions because that’s about how much time I have.
What is the most important thing I can do to prepare for a reading with you?
If you are getting a phone reading then you should have a pad of paper, a pen and some questions written on that pad. That way you can be sure you get a chance to ask all your questions. Also, you should make sure your energy is as high as possible. When your energy is low, it is much harder for me to tune in. When your energy is really high, I get amazing and more detailed information. If you can do a quick 5 minute meditation to prepare for the reading that will benefit you. If you are getting an email reading, just think carefully about your questions before you send them. Try not to reiterate anything you already asked. Try not to be too general (“what is my purpose in life?”) and try not to be overly detailed to the point where all I can give you is a yes or no response. A little background is good but do not go overboard. If you are meeting with me in person, do the same things I suggested for a phone reading.
Are we allowed to follow up with you after a reading?
Due to significant time constraints I seriously regret that I’m unable to continue a reading once it’s complete. I love hearing feedback on the reading, but don’t ask me any more questions. I simply can’t take the time to answer them with so many others waiting for a reading. You are more than welcome to book another reading with me if you have more questions. I have several clients who book a reading with me every week. Just write down all your questions and when you feel ready, get another reading.
Do you ever get inaccurate information coming through?
I think every psychic and medium sometimes misinterprets something they’re hearing from the spirits. Sometimes a guide will show me something that means one thing to me and something entirely different to my sitter. In those cases I simply tell my sitter what I’m seeing and ask them if it means something to them.
Are you able to tell me about my spirit guides?
When I connect with your guides they come through as a sort of collective energy so I don’t pick up on specific and individual energies. But if I ask, then one or more of them will separate out from the group and present themselves to me and tell me in what specific way they are guiding you. I didn’t know I could do this until I tried, so thank you to whoever asked it first. Since then, I’ve gotten better at discerning the guides.

I think that is very interesting to delve into the purpose of the individual spirit guides! Very cool

I have a comment on the inaccuracy possibility question. (LONG, sorry!)
I had a phone reading with you about a month ago. At that time you gave me an impression from my guides that a breakthrough would occur in a specific way, and you framed it as, “sitting on a park bench, that I’d be pondering, watching ‘it all go by’. I knew at the time this breakthrough was specific to marketing my products, which you confirmed.
I even said to you, “so, what, should I just go sitting on park benches until I get my grand AHA?”
Well, I had a lot going on at the time, way too much to be babysitting the park bench breakthrough, and knowing that these things tend to present on their own time frame.
So that was a month ago. And this past Saturday morning, my family had cleared out to the park for their usual touch rugby group. I sat at my kitchen table in the morning. It was a beautiful morning. My kitchen table faces out to a very large 4-window slider which lets out to my second story deck, which puts me at eye-level with the top branches of one of my lovely cloistering thornless locust trees.
Ok, so I’m sitting there, entranced, watching a hummingbird dance around this tree, not thinking of anything at all, just watching it all go by (hehe) and BLAMMO! an old idea I had came to my head in such a crazy multi-dimensional fashion, that i started laughing out loud.
I truly believe that was my park bench. My kitchen table looks like a park bench. My yard is like a grotto and a park put together and I was certainly just in a watching, pondering, non-specific mode of meditation. And the image/comcept that came into my awareness was out of *bleepin* left field, and was also brilliant!
SO, the accuracy thing seems to need to have room to take shape on its own. The words in the reading *can be* limiting if you get too stuck on them. You have to intend that they show up in their own way in their own perfect time frame.
Hopefully, this incident will inspire someone else to give a reading a try & to have faith in greater forces at work. The precision comes in a different fashion than mere words…
P.S. Why a hummingbird would ever come to that particular tree is unusual, and it curiously stayed there for quite a while. But, I realized later that hummingbirds were an important bird to my late and dear mentor grandmother, whom I have always felt was guiding me from the other side. Thanks grandma!

Did I effectively impart how amazingly awesometastic the idea was that unfolded to me?
It started a ball rolling that day that didn’t end until after midnight. In that time I created plans and physical product and strategy, research, and other things that would take me weeks to months for my clients, or for myself, even! I was in the most amazing creative time warp I have ever experienced. So from here, I have a very solid foundation to now execute my plans, and the best part is it is all a product/subject that is the ONE thing that makes me want to bounce out of bed every morning!
Extra bonus: my family cooperated famously and were elated to be busy on a fun-day with dad, too!
So thank you, Erin, your gift and my patience and belief made our reading very well leveraged! The way you described what would happen and how makes total sense to me now.

I’m so glad that you had your aha moment, Stephanie. You bring up an excellent point. It’s possible you were meant to sit on the park bench and get the idea but when your guides saw you weren’t going to be at the park, they found another way to bring it to you. Remember that I read the energy at the time of the reading and things don’t always work out exactly as I am shown. But they do tend to work out in some way. Excellent point you made!

Erin, thank you for Quick Q&A. Have you had any practical experience with Remote Viewing? If you haven’t, but know what it is, it would be very interesting to hear your opinion about it.
August 7th, 2006 at 10:41 am
I have heard of remote viewing but never done it (to my knowledge anyway). I am interested in trying it, though. That’s something my development circle and I will be working on in the coming weeks.
