Default Erin's Spiritual Readings

I thought it would be interesting to have a thread to talk about Erin's readings. Has anyone else had Erin do a reading for them?

I had a reading a while back, now, and it was really emotional for me. Of course, I am always very emotional, so that is not a huge surprise!

Really, Erin keyed in on some very key points to my transition and she could further relate as a mother juggeling the balance of at home raising of children, and pursuit of work and following a path etc. She just spoke so clearly to the exact place I was in...which was stuck.

I made a big jump after talking to her, and I feel really good about it. It was as if talking to her was the final confirmation I needed to make a big change I already knew I wanted to make. She also helped me sway away from a choice that would have probably not worked out too great.

I did have one area where I am still unsure about. I figure that it was either interpretted by us wrong, or it hasn't played out yet. Time will tell!
But I am eager to do another reading soon.
Maybe as a holiday gift to myself!


I loved my reading with Erin.

It's a little weird that Laura joined the forum today, and posted only one post in this category precisely ...

Julien's post was an example of trolling, which is against the forum posting guidelines.

I don't expect too many people will openly share their experiences of getting a reading with Erin, since her readings tend to be deeply personal. It's sort of like asking people to reveal the details of their private therapy sessions. I'm glad at least one person chose to share though. If all of her clients posted their experiences here, it would seriously blow you away.

Ooo...for a second I thought I did something wrong!
Rest assured I am not a troll! LOL
I have been posting on Erin's comments (on her blog) for some time under the name laura, but I don't usually post much. Typically, I post in support of Erin and her successes.
I went ahead and posted in the intro forum too.
Hope that relieves any concern about the motive behind my post. I was just excited about my reading and I don't mind sharing

I appreciate you stepping forward, Laura, and sharing.

Like Steve mentioned, the readings can get intensely personal. it's like asking someone how their therapy session went. Some people probably don't want to even admit they've seen a psychic/medium.

But hopefully others will post about their readings. I've done hundreds to date. But they may not be on the forums (yet) or they may simply not want to share.

Erin has done a reading for me. I've always had the belief that I was connected to higher beings, like guides, spirits or angels, but I was (and still am) much to nervous to try and communicate with them by myself. Erin was able to facilitate communication in what I felt to be a safe environment.

Anyway, the reading was very interesting and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards, but in a way I wonder if I shouldn't have had the reading. Maybe there's information you're not intended to know, or maybe if you're given certain information you misinterpret it.

That's sort of the problem I'm having now. The main theme of my reading was a hang glider (it was much deeper than just a hang glider but I'll keep the details to myself) and right now I can't make sense out of it.

I don't think Erin's reading was "off" but I don't think that I have the ability to understand the metaphor right now. I'm sure that the meaning will become clear in the future (whether next week or next decade I don't know) but in the meantime it's tearing me apart. Would I have been better off not knowing?

At the time of the reading I didn't have a major crisis or decision to make, I just wanted to communitate with whoever I might be connected to. So perhaps that's the reason for the enigma.

Nevertheless, I think it is absolutely wonderful that Erin can provide these readings. As for my own reading, I'll just give it some time and try not to dwell on it. Maybe sometime in the future I'll consult Erin for a followup.

If you got your reading in the first month or so, at that time I was only doing the metaphors in the email readings. But now you can ask 3 questions and get more specific answers, instead of just the metaphor. You may want to try it again when you're ready.

Thanks for sharing. I remember the hang glider metaphor.

Cool my readings

Hey all, I wanted to share my own experiences with Erin's readings.

I've personally had two readings from Erin: The first reading over the phone and the second one was through email. Although I was very skeptical at first, they were both amazing experiences. I did the phone reading months ago, before Erin started consulting angels and stuff so the quality might be even better now, though that's a little hard for me to imagine.

The first time I spoke with Erin my questions were about my friends and relationships. I wondered why I was with someone for five years who never got his life together, despite my best efforts to help, why I didn't feel inspired by my business partner, and why my best friend was so bad at life, and what my guides were saying about the guy I was dating, etc.

Erin's answers were right to the point. She doesn't need to know much background like I thought she would, she just got right to the heart of whatever issue I asked about. She didn't try to ween tons of information from me, it was like she already knew the answers. The images Erin gave me made perfect sense for each question I asked; I couldn't have asked for a better perspective.

I took what I had learned to heart and acted on it. But relationships weren't the whole picture. After all, it's personal development, right? Now my relationships were in check and I was trying to improve myself, but to what ends? What was the point? What was I supposed to be doing? I tried to continue my development but I didn't know what I was working towards. I did the purpose exercise, it didn't make me cry. I wrote down my skills and goals and needs tried to figure out where they overlapped, and that pointed in the right direction, but it didn't give me the full answer either.

So I contacted Erin and spilled my whole life story to her, hoping that somehow she would be able to glean something from it even though I couldn't. I really needed some motivation and some passion! I felt like I was just going through the motions of life with no good reason why, and no end in sight. I wrote her several pages... I guess I had forgotten that she didn't need so much raw data to get a good reading on me lol. Once again, her response was the answer I needed. It was image based, short and sweet; and it led me to a purpose that I can wake up every day and be instantly grateful for: Protect others from harm. It was obvious and I really should have already known, but I just didn't without Erin's confirmation. That was definitly it though. Erin didn't know that I had gotten myself fired from three management jobs over the years for trying to protect employees from what I considered to be unjust corporate action, or that my best job ever was overseeing a group of advanced (level 3) technicians in a very poorly ran call center. I understand now that I always felt like I was protecting my staff, and that's why I gravitated towards management positions. And that I don't feel the need to advance much at my current job because it's such a well run and positive company that no one needs protected lol.

My grandest dream has always been to buy a bunch of acreage and build a rec center type retreat on it, and this really lined up with my new (or recently discovered) purpose too. If I had 1,000 acres, people I knew could always use my place as a fallback, so no matter what happened in their lives they would have a place of their own to visit, camp at, meditate at, or they could live there to get back on their feet if things weren't good financially. They could take the risks they needed without fear. The land could also be open to at risk kids, gifted students, etc. The possibilities are endless! 1000 acres. When I thought about the implications of what it all meant, that I could save up to buy this land, and then build the space into anything I wanted and share it with those who needed it, it made me cry. And when I drove home and looked at the clock it read 11:11 loud and clear.

Anyway, Erin helped me put all this together; it was in me, but I didn't know how it all fit. Now that I do I feel completely different about life; it's a pretty amazing gift.

Thanks Erin.

And by the way guys, she did make me cry when I spoke to her on the phone, caught me totally off guard with something, so if you think you are tough I implore you to make that call =)

Default I'm feeling brave. Maybe too brave. ;)

In the interest of openness and honesty, I have decided to post the entire contents of my reading. I figure that anyone I know who stumbles upon this site would probably consider getting their own reading anyway, so I have nothing to lose.

My questions:
1) I very much want to become an entrepreneur but am not sure when or where to begin. Is this something I should pursue now, or in a few years, or never?


2) My friends are starting to get engaged, but a serious relationship isn't really on my mind (at this time). Should it be, and if so, where should I be "prowling"?


3) Lately, I've been thinking a lot about spiritual beliefs, specifically my Christian background and how it all meshes with... well, everything. But it's not really doing anything for me except causing confusion. I don't have a specific question, but some clarity would be extremely helpful.


Erin's answers:
Question 1: Entrepreneur would be excellent for you. But starting your own business right now wouldn’t be a good idea for you. What they're showing me is that you go to work for a certain kind of company, to learn the ropes, and then eventually you either take over that company, start a competing business, or simply take what you learn from that job and have enough confidence to start your own business. But in other words, go learn from the school of life first, and you'll know when the right time is to start your own business. If you tried to start one now, it would set you back too much because it would fail. Nothing wrong with failure, but the timing on that failure would be really bad.

Question 2: They're saying you're too young to be getting married, but date if you want to. Just don't get yourself into trouble, young man (their words not mine!). Explore relationships but don't get committed to any particular one. They've got big plans for you and your future wife. Get yourself into a corporate environment and make sure the woman you find is mature and responsible and career-oriented.

Question 3: Your guides want you to know that there are aspects of your Christian beliefs that serve you very well. They want to warn you not to throw the baby out with the bath water. But they want to encourage you to explore and even try out other belief systems. They don’t want you to be too attached to any one religion, they want you to hone your spiritual beliefs and leave the religious aspect behind.

One guide is standing out from the collective energy. She's female, presenting as a blond with golden wavy hair. Ah, I believe she is one of your angels. Sometimes I pick up on spirit guides, but this is definitely an angel. She's smiling and saying, "He's a sweet kid, but it's time to kick him out of the nest. He's got to find his wings and get flying on his own." She has a somewhat maternal nature to her. I think she is going to help you find your "wings" so to speak. I'm not picking up on her name but she is sort of giving me this sign like, "Don’t worry. I've got him. And I won't let anything happen to him." And she thinks you're funny.



The weird thing here is that Erin really didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know (except for that last part, but I'll get to that in a minute) - but by no means did that make the reading worthless. Her answers gave me just the boost of confidence I needed at that time, and situations in my life are actually starting to confirm some of what my guides have been trying to tell me all along. (Example: I'm taking an Entrepreneurship class, and one assignment was to present an idea to the rest of the class; the class would vote on the top ideas, and those ideas are what we plan businesses for. Well, going into the presentation, I thought my idea was spectacular, as did one of my friends, and I delivered the presentation well... but it wasn't even voted as one of the top ten ideas. Coincidence?)

That last paragraph, though, really got me. Erin, what might be some of the differences (if any) to being guided by an angel as opposed to a spirit? I got a lot of comfort from learning that there's an angel out there somewhere looking out for me, even if my Christian background had told me that all along. So, Erin, to you I say THANKS! I'm still looking for those wings, though...

Scott, your wings are already attached to your back. But until you leap out of your nest you'll have no need to unfurl them. When you need them, they'll be there. Your angel will help you. The time may not be quite right yet.

You have spirit guides too, it's just that you've also got this angel who is guiding you. I mean, we all have angels, but the way I understand it, angels help many people, and your guides are largely assigned to just you (unless they are not with you full time in which case they might have time to work with other charges, I'm not aware of that infrastructure yet)

Thanks for sharing.

Default Yes and it was fantastic!

I'll go write an intro in a bit, but had to say that I've had a reading with Erin and it was wonderful.

I've done a lot of work with a friend in the Akashic records, but was feeling like I needed an objective third party to filter the information. What I mean by that is, my friend has a stake in the information I receive and has been hearing me yap about the core issues for a couple years. I wanted someone with no history of hearing me yammer on about my book, my intuition, or the boy.

The information about my book/manuscript was in line with information that I'd gotten from the records. "Let it go, you've learned what you needed to from it, publishing wasn't the point, writing was." I've stopped worrying about pushing it through the hoops and am letting it marinate, making contacts as the show up, but not seeking contacts.

With regards to working on receiving/remembering information, I'm trying. The next few days after my reading, just before I would wake up I would hear, "now remember that and that and that." I've been trying to follow nudges to make a call, not make a call, take the train over the bus... It needs more attention and more space to grow, but I'm trying to pay attention.

The final, but really the first, question was about turning a friendship into a romance. The info that Erin provided "fit" and really popped some things into focus. One of the most important things was that subtle wasn't going to do anything and I would just have to tell him. I did and now I'm patiently waiting for things to unfold.

I would recommend Erin to anyone (and have) it is a great experience.

Off to the intro section now.

I did an e-mail reading, and it was confusing. I still am not sure whether I should take the offered advice or not. But it was regarding a very large part of my life that I'd been going back and forth over for probably four years...

Wait. I need to go re-read it, I think I just figured something out!

Oy, my problem is that I tend to interpret things at least five different ways (benefit of being an English major, I guess). Which I think is a defense reaction to not wanting to believe the clearest interpretation, or wanting to play things safe. I know exactly how you feel, Mnemosyn...

Sorry for three-in-a-row posts, but I do have a question for you, Erin.

Can readings be situational? Because I see two outcomes regarding my reading (the diamond that didn't fit reading, the interpretation of which was that to acheive success in my chosen career, I'd have to lose my current relationship).

1) The reading was accurate for the position I was in previously, where my boyfriend was very depressed and our entire situation was making it difficult for me to persue my writing. However, we moved, and I'm finally back working in a publishing job, and he's happy, supportive and managing his stress much better. Thus, the reading was situational and I shouldn't keep wondering if I should break up with him now that we've got our relationship back on track. You also mentioned that he wasn't my vibrational match -- and if by "vibration" you mean levels of consciousness, no, of course he wasn't; he was very depressed, and not acting himself.

2) The reading was just plain accurate, and despite seeming advances in my situation, either a) problems will arise in the future where he again is distracting me from achieving my full potential, or b) what I see as success is really just a shadow of what I could achieve without him around. And if by vibrational match, you mean one's permanent personal frequency, then that would mean that we're just plain incompatible.

See, the first outcome sounds like it's coming out of two fears: initiating a breakup, and living without this person I love. Yet the second outcome goes against what I think is my intuition about this relationship: that I can very happily live with him for the rest of my life, that we balance and complement each other.

So I'm very confused. Can readings change as your situation changes? I mean, if that's the case, maybe I should book another reading with you and see if I get the same message. Or am I just afraid?

This is very important. When I do a reading I am reading the energy at the time of the reading. When I tell you that if you do X then Y will happen, that is true. If you go off and do A instead, then Y may not happen. Free will can change your predicted future. One of the purposes of getting a reading is to know if there is something coming in your future that you do want to change, so you have time to take a different path.

Elaine, without tuning back in again, I'd have to say to go with your intuition. If fear of that outcome causes you to ignore your intuition then you're making decisions out of fear, and that doesn't usually turn out too well in the long run.

That answers a question for me, too.

I had a reading with Erin awhile back and she told me that I was no longer a vibrational match for my current career path (I'm working on a Ph.D. in a scientific field). She said that my guides were saying that I should be working with the people I'm helping, and to remember that I am a helper.

Well, it's easy for me to see why I would be a vibrational match for helping people: my main (and not unsubstantial) commitment outside of my doctorate program involves leading seminars to people and helping them get what they want out of life. The more I do of that, the more I seem to be a vibrational match for working directly with people to help them. But - similarly - I've noticed that the more time and thought I spend in my degree field, the more I seem to be a vibrational match for that.

Erin's not the first person who has told me I'm meant to work with people. I'm definitely taking that into consideration when I imagine where I'd like to be ten, twenty, thirty years down the road. But it seems to make sense to finish a degree that I'm already more than halfway through, and to use that in my future endeavors even if I don't stay in scientific research. And in the meantime, I'll have to keep myself a 'vibrational match' for the work I'm doing.

Of course, I say that, and I've been recently very frustrated with things on that front. Recently my boss has been pretty unhappy with me for lack of progress and results, and it's frustrating, because I've been working so hard and redirecting so much of my focus to that end. It seems like just working isn't going to get the job done - I have to be willing to really fight for it - and after realizing that, I'm left with a question about whether or not I am willing to fight for it. Currently, I'm working on a limiting belief I have - that essentially I look at school like it's already going to be a failure no matter what I do - and I think that will make a big difference in all of this.

So, no easy answers. But I suppose life wouldn't be much fun if there were. ;>

Default My reading

At the risk of being accused of my first post here, I want to add to the accuracy of Erin's readings. I had a face to face reading with Erin. I was in Vegas with some girlfriends and several of us had readings with Erin. I have to say that we were all a bit nervous but upon meeting Erin, her presence put us at ease. She has a very compassionate presence.

Erin did not ask me what my question or intention of the reading was. She received an image of a polar bear trying to break open a package of Hostess snowflakes. Her interpretation of the package was that it was career related. I am at a point in my life where I will need to apply for jobs in the next several months; however, Erin did not know this at the time. She also did not know that I was from Canada and hence, the image of the polar bears is very appropriate. She gave me guidance as to the location of the place and what I needed to do to get the position there. (The polar bear image may also be connected to this location as it's near the mountains.)

I am heading to my annual convention next week and will be meeting with the prospective employer at the place that I am applying and the place that my guides, through Erin, have indicated is the place I am to be. I can see the manifestations already.

As for the readings with the other girls, I can only say that Erin gave each of such different and spot on readings. Some of the girls became very emotional after the reading and some were really inspired. Some of Erin's advice has already manifested for one of the girls.

Thanks Erin for a wonderful afternoon!

Hi,
It's really interesting to see other people's readings to see how different they were from my own. Makes me realise that mine is personal to me!

I asked about my purpose as I have always been aware that 'helping others' was what I wanted to do, but I was struggling to define it more. I was working in training and coaching which were mostly about helping others through talking but my interests were moving towards working hands on with people's energy systems. I didn't tell Erin any of this before the reading. The answer I got to my question was:

"They're telling me that you have a great sense of humor and an ability to raise other people's energy. For now they want you to notice the effect you have on people and start to see it as a gift! Your reason for existing will be found when you do this."

What I didn't tell Erin before the reading is that I love healing others by raising their energy vibration! I feel so privileged when I am permitted to work with someone's energy that I think I should be paying them for the experience (lol). This has really helped me feel confident I am headed in the right direction.

Wendy, I think I know the sad event you're referring to. It came up in the reading very very quickly so I knew it was of utmost importance and urgency. I honestly wasn't sure how to handle the information I got. If you want to send me a private message related to the event I would be grateful.

I had such a great time reading for 4 people in one sitting. All of your readings were so different, the energies and focus so different. It was interesting for me to see 4 different women at roughly the same age but going through four different life lessons. It was a gift to me as well. I also discovered that 4 in a row is a little taxing on my voice.

I'm glad you guys are sharing your readings. As I've told Steve, I've been to all of the readings so I know how much my abilities have grown, but the people I've read for have only been to one.

Thumbs up Another reading experience...

I, too, had an email reading from Erin, and I thought I'd share it here. One thing I would suggest to those who are considering getting an email reading is to make sure that your questions are specific enough to get the answer you're looking for, since you don't really have an opportunity to seek clarification. This was something that I found in my reading: it was a bit vague in the places where I really was seeking guidance, but that said, I did get answers to my questions. I just haven't settled what they really mean. Also, a note about my experience in sharing my reading: I shared Erin's email response with my roommate (who is probably best described as a skeptic), and her thought was that while the reading was something that could be faked (given the nature of my questions), she could get the sense of something deeper going on ... so much so that it caused even my skeptic roommie to consider getting a reading for herself.

*Whew* That was a lot of preamble... without further ado, here's the reading...

Quote:
Okay let me start out by sharing a metaphorical image that your guides are sending me.

You're entering a large college library with your books in your hands. This library has four floors. As you step inside you are at the same time comfortable being in the library and also overwhelmed by it because it has so many floors. The sense I'm getting is that although you are comfortable being a student, and being in school, that you are also feeling a little overwhelmed by the thought of graduate school (signified by all those floors above you).

What your guides want me to tell you is to definitely stay in school and go the whole nine yards. Although it may seem overwhelming right now, you are going to be so happy that you stayed to the end of your degree, in the long run.

They're telling me that if you stop going to school now that you will eventually regret it and never go back either. If you have the opportunity to go to graduate school, take it. Don't interrupt your learning cycle.

I'm unclear as to what field we're looking at here, but they're saying you already know. And it looks like a PhD program, not just a Master's degree. They're telling me to urge you to go all the way to your PhD and not stop at the Master's level. They are showing me that you will work and make money along the way, but that your graduate level training is going to serve you so well in the future, in more ways than one. With a relationship, with money, with friends. In other words, if you decide to stop going to school and start working you will be on a much different path than you intended for yourself.

Still, you have free will and can ultimately change even the spiritual contract you made with yourself before you incarnated. So that option is yours as well.

They feel like you need a break, but they want to urge you to get right back in the saddle and stay in school (I sound like a public service announcement!). It's really the right path for you. Don't let anything stop you. No hurdle is too big for you to jump to get yourself into a good graduate program.

And yes, Erin. You did sound like a public service announcement.

I will close off by saying this: going to grad school is still something that I'm not 100% sold on, but a lot of that comes from the fact that I really don't know what I'd want to study. The guides were right, in that I do have an idea of the field I want to study, but that doesnt mean I know where I want to go within that field. It's a broad field, and it's the specificity I'm having troubles with. But as I indicated earlier, all that says is to make sure you're actually asking the question you want answered!

If anyone has questions regarding my experience, let me know. I typically stick to Steve's forum threads, but I'll try to check in on this thread every so often, too.

Thanks for sharing that.

I will second that if you send me a vague question and I can't ask you for clarification then there is only so much I can do.

Some people send me questions that read: "Should I do what I'm thinking about or would it be a mistake?" I'm not a mind reader. And neither are your guides.

If you ask "should I go to college or just get a job" you will get an answer. But if you want to know what you should do in college or what kind of job you should get, then you'll get a much better answer if you ask it that way.

Phrase your questions well.

Ok, my turn. I was pretty excited by the reading I got from Erin. Although, I'm still not sure what I should do with it. Here's part of it (as an intro, the first question dealt with a problematic relationship, the second was about my newly discovered awareness and parenting. Third question was about spending less time at my "job" and more time discovering my purpose / enjoying my family.)
Here's an excerpt:
Okay let me start with a metaphorical image they are sending me. You're in a forest, in a clearing, but there are no paths leading out from this clearing. Instead, if you are to progress, you're going to need to go straight up into the air. You're going to need to fly. Once you're up there, you'll be able to see where you are and the direction you need to go. And they're telling me that you won't be descending back into that forest, you'll be flying more towards the mountains, like a bird. This is good, don't fight it. The thing holding you back from doing this, however, is your son. He seems to be in the clearing with you. And if you shoot up into the air, you think you need to leave him down below and you're unwilling to do that. Okay I think this relates to question 2 and 3.
I love this. It makes me think that I should be working on improving my vibration / awareness / intuition and that will help me see the obvious perfect solution. I like to think that my guides want me to progress in this way. But I don't really know where to begin.

You've got some red and green in your third eye chakra, which should be indigo/purple. What this says to me is that you are trying very hard to listen to your intuition but you're frustrated. Clouding the issue is love energy. You want to do what's right for your family. Your fear/ego is keeping you at work, when you really want to spend more time loving your son.

I also like this... I HAD been working on developing my intuition and I WAS getting frustrated. I don't know anything about chakras though? Any reason I should take some time to learn about them?

More than anything, your guides want you to connect with them directly and to trust the intuition you've got. This will free you a little bit and get you going in the direction you truly want to go in. Do meditations to reconnect with your higher self. Meet her in the "garden" or a room or a celestial temple and have a chat with her. Trust your intuition more; spend more time doing what your intuition suggests.


As for parenting. Take a spiritual approach to parenting. What is your son's mission/purpose? Why is he here? Why did he choose you as his mama? What can you teach him? Honor that. Honor his soul. Teach him about how to live, remembering where he came from.


I think the part about parenting is beautiful. This really gave me a nice list of ideals to strive for as a parent.

The part about connecting with my higher self, well this is something I am also working on... Althought it's not easy to find time for meditation.
Overall, this reading gave me a great feeling when I read it. I'm still not sure how to get out of the clearing though.

I know this may be a bit of a tangent off the thread, but it seems a good place/time to ask anyway.

Has Steve done an article on how to phrase your questions well? It seems to me that the better/clearer one phrases their questions, the better the answers received, in any area of life. But that's about as far as I've gotten on the subject - it would be quite helpful to see something aiding in that almost artform.

Default Follow-Up: The Questions

Just realized that I hadn't included my questions, so people could see what I was talking about in my earlier post. Here they are:

Quote:
After graduation, should I go to graduate school, or find full-time employment?
If I should be going to grad school, what area of study should I pursue?
If I should be heading into the working world, what field of employment should I be pursuing?
So, as you can see, it's not that the questions were particularly vague, but rather that they didn't really reflect what I wanted to know (even though I thought they did at the time I submitted them). Basically, make sure you're asking what you think you're asking.

I had an email reading done that was helpful in many ways. I am at a point where I need to make a career path choice and the advice she passed on to me certainly seemed wise. She also told me I would be happy in a "a city/town that is more rural. It's beautiful and rich with foliage and trees, not all urban". I've been looking for jobs to apply for since then (my industry moves very slowly with job changes) and so far the one job that seems to fit my professional qualifications the best is in just such a place. (We'll see how it works out - but I'm confident I'm a good candidate for the position.) I'm still trying to work on some of the other advice (unsolicited, but very much appreciated advice, I might add) that the spirit guides passed on through her. I re-read the reading every now and then to remind myself of some of the things I need to do for myself. Like watching sunrises and enjoying rainbows.

It was useful - I'm considering making a reading an annual birthday present to myself.

Default Erin's reading

I had a lovely reading with Erin also. The information she brought forth was helpful, clear and reassuring. Equally enjoyable for me though, was having the opportunity to share and connect with this loving woman.

Thanks Erin.

Pam
