Send us a textI'm thrilled to share the latest episode of the Endless Possibilities podcast with you. This week, we dive deep into the realms of spiritual awakening and energy healing with the incredible Dr Linda Backman Past Life EXPERT. Linda is a licensed psychologist and regression therapist with over 45 years of experience. She's trained with the legendary Dr. Michael Newton and has conducted thousands of past life and between-lives regressions. Here are some of the fascinating insights and lessons from our conversation:Key Takeaways from Our Conversation with Linda Bachmann:Interplanetary Souls and Starseeds: Linda shares her discovery that many of her clients identify as interplanetary souls, also known as starseeds. These souls come from celestial realms and often face unique challenges adapting to life on Earth.A Journey of Spiritual Awakening: Linda recounts her own spiritual awakening, which began with spontaneous communications from a deceased colleague. This profound experience led her to explore past life regression and ultimately transform her career.Types of Souls on Earth: We Reveals THREE Soul Types that incarnate on Earth: Earth-based souls, interplanetary souls, and angelic souls. Each type brings unique gifts and faces distinct challenges. Which One Are You? The Role of Higher Selves: Linda explains that many interplanetary souls have their higher self as their main guide, providing them with advanced spiritual guidance.Healing Through Regression: Linda's work helps clients understand their soul's journey, leading to healing and a sense of belonging. She shares touching stories of clients discovering their true origins and finding peace.Trusting Your Intuition: A key message from Linda is the importance of trusting your intuition. She encourages everyone to embrace their inner guidance, as it can lead to profound insights and understanding.Curiosities to Spark Your Interest:Spontaneous Spiritual Experiences: Linda's initial spiritual experiences were spontaneous and occurred in her waking state, without meditation. This highlights the unpredictable nature of spiritual awakenings.Interplanetary Souls' Health Challenges: Many interplanetary souls struggle with allergies, autoimmune disorders, and other health issues due to their difficulty adapting to the physicality of Earth.Angelic Souls Among Us: Angelic souls often incarnate to help humanity, embodying love, compassion, and non-judgment. They can be found in everyday roles, spreading joy and positivity.The Concept of Walk-Ins: Some interplanetary souls may enter adult bodies as walk-ins, bypassing the normal birth process to expedite their contributions to Earth.

This week, even more things coming to the Disneyland Resort for the 70th, a sneak peek into the Walt animatronic, a new character coming to Avengers Campus, bananas are invading Disneyland later this month, fire heroes were honored, new seating was added to New Orleans Square, we talk to Artist Jerrod Maruyama, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: More and more keeps being announced for the 70th Anniversary of Disneyland. A new light, sound, and projection moment will be coming to Carthay Circle and Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure. The moment will be set to the tune “Celebrate Happy,” the theme song for the anniversary. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/guide-to-the-70th-anniversary-at-disneyland-resort/ We have some new details about the Walt Disney animatronic experience coming to the Opera House in July. Various media outlets were invited to the Imagineering campus to see the life-sized concept sculpt, and to learn more about the show. Walt's voice in the show will be his own, with clips of his actual voice were painstakingly assembled from interviews. The animatronic itself is very lifelike. The posture, facial structure, and skin texture are “uncanny” according to MiceChat. – https://www.micechat.com/414430-disneyland-walt-disney-a-magical-life-revealed/ Another character from the Marvel Universe will be dropping by Avengers Campus for a limited time. Red Guardian, who first appeared in Black Widow, and is featured in the new movie Thunderbolts, will be meeting and greeting with guests. You can be sure to find him by checking the Disneyland App. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/meet-the-super-amazing-red-guardian-at-avengers-campus/ If you are going to be in Avengers Campus heading into Cars Land, or the other way around in the near future, be aware that the path between the two by Luigi's is closed. This has been done for construction of a new restroom facility to compliment the new additions to Avengers Campus currently under construction. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ May the 4th was this weekend and the Disney Parks Blog shared a recipe from A Galaxy Far, Far Away. The Felucian Falafel and Hummus Garden Spread from Docking Bay 7 may take some planning – with one step taking from 12-18 hours – but is sure to be a tasty treat! – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disney-eats-exclusive-plant-based-star-wars-day-recipe/ Later this month, a fun team will be visiting the parks. The Savannah Bananas, a baseball team similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, will be at Disneyland on May 28, 2025. Special entertainment moments, and themed food and beverages will be on hand to celebrate. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/savannah-bananas-disneyland-may-28/ On Monday, May 5, there was a Heroes Salute Cavalcade to honor the first responders of the fires back in January. The Heroes ticket also kicked off to coincide with the cavalcade. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHGVwxv9H1E A rather abrupt change has come to New Orleans Square. The Port Royal Curios and Curiosities shop, right next to the Royal Street Veranda, has been changed into a seating area for diners. Since the shop duplicated the merchandise which can be found at Madame Leota's “Somewhere Beyond” shop, the old location was not needed. The decor was not updated much, except to turn it into a jazzy looking speakeasy. Tables and chairs are scattered about for guests to get out of the heat and find a place to eat. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ At the Emporium on Main Street, there are a set of windows that are decorated with animated scenes from Disney classics. Some of them have been in rough shape in recent times, but they are currently being refurbished for the 70th. No word on when they will be completed, but work is underway. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ SnackChat: 70th Foodie Guide – Disney Eats: Disneyland 70th Celebration Foodie Guide  – Disney Parks Blog Discussion Topic: Freelance artist Jerrod Maruyama https://www.instagram.com/jmaruyama/

In our final episode, we remember Wesley's unfiltered desire to learn more about the types of people outside of his tiny cultural circle. We also reflect on our theories about his passing, before it happened. Little did we realize how quickly it would actually occur. Rest in peace, Wes.

Visiting churches might not sound like everyone's idea of a great time. Yet the buildings are stuffed with strange carvings, peculiar graffiti, interesting artwork, and even sassy memorials. These church curiosities tell us a lot about what mattered to people in centuries past. They also preserve folklore, legends, and the beliefs of the congregation. From apotropaic marks scratched onto fonts, to stone guardians on the outer walls, churches are a fascinating repository of folk practices...if you know where to look. That's precisely what we're going to do here, looking at gargoyles, grotesques, graffiti, carvings, and even door knockers.  Let's figure out what they have to do with folklore, and what they tell us about our forebears in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
