Question:  Why do our spirit guides feel the need to drop us on our asses so painfully in order to teach us the error of our ways? Surely there is a less painful way to learn.
Answer:  The guides would ask you why you feel the need to resist your path so stubbornly that being dropped [...]

Last year, to clear my Ask Erin inbox, I decided to post a bunch of quick answers to quick questions.  I’m going to do that again.  These are questions I can answer easily but don’t really warrant their own blog entry.  I figure a quick answer now is better than a long answer never.  So [...]

Question:  I know you’ve previously stated that a reincarnated soul chooses their own parents, but do you (as a soul) ever get to choose the soul of your potential children?  Do souls get together and plan like that, or is it much like real life and you just end up with who you end up [...]

Question:  I’ve really enjoyed the readings you’ve done for me, and I really want my mom to have a reading with you.  Do you think it’s alright if I purchase a reading for her as a gift?
Answer:  People ask me variations on this question all the time so an answer is obviously in order.
When it’s [...]

Question:  Are you able to read for everyone no matter what state of mind they are in?  Or is it harder to read for people with a lower vibration, like people who are depressed, suicidal, or anxious?  What about people with dark energy?
Answer:  When I’m doing an intuitive reading, the energy of my sitters definitely [...]

Question:  I would like to be able to talk with my deceased mother.  How do I do that, and how do I know if it’s real?
Answer:  When someone dies they leave their body behind and their spirit, soul, consciousness, or energy (however you want to refer to it) lives on.  They move to another plane [...]

Question:  Do my spirit guides select a person for me to fall in love with?  If so, do they have to get some type of agreement from her spirit guides?  And how do they make sure we find each other?
Answer:  I believe spirit guides do play a role in many relationship meetings, but not all [...]

Question:  How do you raise your energy when you’ve been stepped on and emotionally trounced by another person, and your self esteem is so low that you can’t even imagine ever being happy again? 
Answer:  I think everyone goes through periods in their lives when they feel stepped on and emotionally crushed.  Sometimes the emotional pain [...]

Question: I have read that when you astral project you protect your room so that low vibrational negative beings can’t get in.  Can you tell me how you do that, and can I use the same technique for my house?
Answer:  I will tell you how I did it, but my method is not the only [...]

Question:  Have you ever channeled a deceased celebrity like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe?  If so, what did they tell you? 
Answer:  Isn’t Elvis still alive?   But seriously, I have had some limited contact with celebrities who died but it doesn’t happen often at all.  The first was Nicole Brown Simpson, O.J.’s wife.  It was [...]
