This is one of the most unconventional episodes of Self-Helpless yet, while still grounded in curiosity and respectful skepticism. Delanie Fischer chats with Elizabeth April—author and spiritual influencer—to explore her claims of extrasensory abilities, alien abduction, and ongoing ET contact. They discuss Elizabeth’s beliefs about past life regression, remote viewing, consciousness, the nature of reality, various species of extraterrestrial beings, hybridization, and the Galactic Federation of Light. No matter your beliefs, we hope this episode encourages exploration of mysticism across religious and cultural traditions through a fresh lens. Episode Highlights:  Reincarnation, Past Life Regression, and Akashic Records April's Abduction Story: Aliens, an Implant, and the Aftermath Remote Viewing, Astral Projection & The Astral Body Starseeds, Galactic Volunteers, and Hybridization The Galactic Federation of Light and Human Prophecy Quantum Physics, Perception, and the Nature of Reality Spiritual Awakening, Vibration, and Ascension Diverse Extraterrestrial Life & The Law of Non-Intervention Why You'll Never Look at the Moon the Same Way Again More about Elizabeth April: https://elizabethapril.com/about-us/ ____ Self-Helpless Stuff: A 5-star rating means a lot! ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-helpless/id1251196416⁠ Get free Self-Helpless goodies: ⁠https://www.selfhelplesspodcast.com/⁠ Ad-free episodes now on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/selfhelpless⁠ Your Host, Delanie Fischer:⁠ https://www.delaniefischer.com⁠ ____ Related Episodes: UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon), Anomalous Experiences, and The Limitations of Human Perception with Kelly Chase: https://www.delaniefischer.com/selfhelplesspodcast/episode/2549d24e/uap-unidentified-aerial-phenomenon-anomalous-experiences-and-the-limitations-of-human-perception-with-kelly-chase Rethinking Intuition, Belief, and The Nature of Reality with Vincent Genna: https://www.delaniefischer.com/selfhelplesspodcast/episode/23db0212/rethinking-intuition-belief-and-the-nature-of-reality-with-vincent-genna Inside Cult Tactics and High-Control Groups: Manipulation, Deception & Coercion with Michael D.
