Spirit Portal

Capacity is not the same thing as simply being able to receive information. As a medium, you're learning to hold more energy, more information, more emotion, more uncertainty, and more presence without becoming overwhelmed, reactive or attached to the outcome.  You can think of it like building a muscle. At first, a small amount of energy or information can feel intense. You may become excited, an...

What can help us as we move through the world right now? For this episode, I brought that question to Spirit with the intention of receiving guidance for all of us navigating these changing times. Three powerful archetypal energies came forward: Raven, Artemis and Kali Ma.  Each carries a very different message, but together they created a surprisingly clear conversation. I intertwined this readin...

In this episode Erika and Dionisia Hatzis discuss the beauty and wisdom of Mary Magdalene—how her gospel and text offers us a path to inner devotion and consciousness. Her teachings confront the mind by framing suffering not as an inherent sin, but as a ego obstacle born of ignorance and desire, and she promotes the power in doing the shadow work, and becoming mindful of what we tend to run away f...

Today I am talking honestly about what it means to live consciously in a world that often feels disconnected from compassion. Why so many highly sensitive people are absolutely exhausted and wanting to give it all up. How we have confused absorbing everyone's pain with being more loving. And why meditation is more than a relaxation technique- it's an ancient practice of reclaiming your mind, your...

Rachel was one of Erika's mediumship students who decided to go pro! Not everyone who studies mediumship decides they want to work as a professional medium, for some it is a path to understanding themselves better, others a way to communicate with intention and understand energy and for some students the path takes you to where you were meant to be all along: a professional medium. This is a fun c...

For years, psychology and spirituality have often been viewed as separate worlds. But what happens when they come together? In this episode, I'm joined by one of my former students, a licensed therapist who shares how learning to understand intuition, energy, and spirit has transformed not only her own life, but the way she supports her clients. We explore how spiritual experiences can be honored...

This episode is super personal. I share about a series of dreams I had in one night that left me shaken and then transformed. I share the symbolism, spiritual insights and profound realizations that emerged as I spent the morning after walking with my guides and integrating what I experienced.  I felt this episode could support someone else going on an emotional internal journey, and even though i...

One of the greatest challenges in mediumship isn't connecting with spirit- it's learning to get yourself out of the way. In this episode, I share lessons from my own development, from phone readings and zoom circles to in-person sessions- each stage taught me a deeper level of trust. If you have ever questioned your abilities or wondered whether you're ready for professional readings, this convers...

This episode ventures deeper into the "Hidden Universe" as a continuation of Part 1. Today, I talk about my experience with the Upper, Middle and Lower worlds and where to meet the fairies, nature spirits and elementals. We talk about the how these elementals may be connected to specific realms, and how they can move freely between worlds. We further the discussion of how to we deepen our relation...

In this episode of Spirit Portal, Erika explores the often-overlooked art of building relationship with the elemental world. Before focusing on techniques for receiving messages, she invites listeners into a deeper conversation about reciprocity, stewardship and presence. Learn simple ways to cultivate connection with nature spirits, trees, plants and the land itself through quiet observation, out...

What if no signs ever appeared again? What if your spiritual gifts never increased from where they are right now? Would you still sit in meditation? Would you still choose connection? Would you still walk on this path, if you there were no fireworks calling for you in a particular direction? What if all it was - was presence? Some of the deepest moments with Spirit are not always the loudest.  Som...

In this episode, Erika explores one of the most common- and most complicated- questions in the spiritual space.... When are you actually ready to become a professional medium? (This can also go for healer, intuitive, channeler, teacher etc.) Moving beyond the idea of natural ability, she dives into the deeper layers of readiness, including emotional maturity, integrity, and the responsibility of h...

Do we over-spiritualize mediumship? Or not enough? In a world where mediumship is often framed as a deeply spiritual path (at least by me!) what happens if that doesn't resonate with you? In this episode, I break down the difference between mediumship as an ability and spirituality as a framework- and why the two don't necessarily go hand in hand.  I also share my own experience of how mediumship...

In this episode, Erika talks about everything from timeline shifts, to dream messages and how to really build your practice as a medium. It's a sort of conversation that explores the unseen connections guiding our lives- through mediumship, intuition and some of the quiet moments that make big shifts in our everyday.  Erika is an evidential psychic medium. She loves teaching others to uncover thei...

One of the hardest aspect for EVERY developing medium (no escape here, folks!) is releasing the ego and understanding the true responsibility of this work.  Mediumship is not about performance, validation, or being right. It is a sacred exchange between spirit and the sitter- and the role of the medium is to become a clear, humble vessel for that communication.  In this episode I dive into what eg...

Let's talk about the spectrum of spiritual, intuitive and psychic experiences we all experience. It's a fun conversation, it is becoming more relevant, and tell me about what you have experienced in your own life!  Erika Anderson is an evidential and psychic medium. She considers herself a lifelong spiritual seeker, and loves studying the realms of consciousness, spiritual dimensions (seen and uns...

Erika shares a reading that she began for herself, but as she starting opening to it, realized that it was actually a message for the collective.  What could the Lioness Courage, Kuan Yin and Compassion, the Raven and Magic and being Untamed with Artemis mean for you? This reading came from her favorite deck, The Wild and Sacred Feminine Deck. Join the free community here! https://spirit-portal-co...

In this episode, I am talking about the most powerful skill in mediumship: Surrender. What it really means to let go of ego, performance, identity and the constant need to be right or special. I explore how ego shows up in readings, but it can also creep into teaching spaces - and why surrender actually makes your mediumship stronger, clearer and more evidential. It is a good conversation about sp...

What if magic is simply participation in a living cosmos?  What if psychic work is the human nervous system responding to a multidimensional reality. What if when you question your own beliefs, you find that you have been conditioned to give your power away, and you decide to uncover and reclaim the ancient origins of your own magic? This episode is a follow up episode to last weeks', where I call...

Today I talk about why so many of the systems we once trusted are crumbling, and why this collapse isn't random. It is part of a much larger cycle of humanity- a rebirth, an opportunity for  remembering. Long before patriarchy and hierarchical religion dominated the world, human societies were largely earth based, relational and rooted in intuition, embodiment and reverence for life.  Power was no...

The language of Spirit and your psychic senses can be developed and fine tuned, just like your physical muscles, skills and abilities.  In this episode Erika turns a class on the Clairs and Psychic Senses into a podcast episode where everyone can benefit and learn how to access and improve communication with Spirit.  Erika Anderson is an evidential medium, teacher and mentor. She has a couple of c...

Today I explore the power of collective consciousness and how shared intention, coherence and embodied awareness have been used throughout history during humanity's darkest moments.  I examine how modern understandings of the quantum field, nervous system regulation, and coherence help explain why intention matters- not as wishful thinking, but a an energetic and relational force that influences h...

Mediumship is sacred work.... and it is also very human! In this episode of Spirit Portal, I speak honestly about the parts of mediumship we don't often talk about out loud- the gatekeeping, spiritual certainty, and hierarchy that can quietly form within spiritual spaces. I explore why some mediums feel they have definitive answers about the spirit world, why certain phenomena are dismissed and ho...

A spiritual awakening opens your eyes, but doesn't do the work for you. In this episode of Spirit Portal I explore the quieter, less talked about side of spiritual awakening: the beliefs, emotional patterns, and the internal narratives that don't magically disappear.  From unlearning inherited ideas about God and religion, to releasing victim consciousness and learning how to show up vulnerable, t...
