Between Takeoff and Landing: Honoring the In-Between

There are moments in life when we feel like we’re hovering in midair…wings stretched wide, engines humming, but no clear runway in sight. We’ve taken off. We’ve climbed. We’ve soared through turbulence and found patches of peace. But instead of landing in that beautiful future we’ve imagined, we’re circling. Over and over. Waiting.

From the outside, it might look like nothing is happening. But ask any seasoned pilot, and they’ll tell you: a holding pattern isn’t failure. It’s strategy. It’s wisdom. It’s the dance between destiny and divine timing.

Just like planes sometimes can’t land due to stormy conditions, unseen debris, or congestion on the ground, our own manifestations can experience delays. Not because they’re not real. Not because we’re doing something wrong. But because the circumstances haven’t aligned yet for a safe, stable arrival.

You may be flying high with a dream so vivid you can taste it. A relationship, a career, a home, a new version of yourself. You’ve mapped it out. Felt it in your body. You’ve followed the signs. And still…you’re circling.

I know this pattern intimately. There was a season in my life where I felt so close to everything I’d been manifesting. I had the vision board, the scripting, the aligned action. I’d recorded the hypnosis tracks, meditated with candlelight, and said "yes" to becoming the woman I saw in my dreams.

And yet, everything felt suspended. I wasn’t moving backward, but I wasn’t landing either. It was maddening at times, like being able to see the city lights from the sky, but never getting clearance to descend.

But then I started to soften into the wait. I began to treat the circling as sacred. I stopped asking “Why am I not there yet?” and started whispering, “What’s still aligning for my highest good?”

And in that surrender, I noticed things I couldn’t have seen while rushing: red flags I would’ve missed, skills I needed to refine, energies I still needed to release. And eventually, like clockwork, the moment came. I was invited to land. Not chaotically. Not in desperation. But gently, with divine readiness.

What if your holding pattern is holy?

What if this is where your wings strengthen and your senses sharpen? Where your intuition gets louder and your faith roots deeper? What if the tower hasn’t called you in yet because your landing strip is still being paved with gold?

When the timing is right, you’ll descend effortlessly. The fog will lift. The lights will line the path. You’ll hear the voice in your soul say, Now. It’s time. And the wheels will touch the ground with the quiet thunder of destiny fulfilled.

Until then, let the clouds hold you. Let the sky school you. And trust the process.

Because circling doesn’t mean you’re lost.

It means you’re important enough to wait for the right arrival.

How Hypnosis Helps

Hypnosis can be your co-pilot in the clouds, helping calm the nervous system, reframe the “waiting” into wisdom, and connect you with the inner guidance that always knows you are still in flight, not in failure. Through subconscious alignment, you don’t just wait, you expand into who you're becoming on this sacred runway we call life.

Reflection Questions:

1. What am I learning while I circle?

2. In what ways might life be preparing a softer, more aligned landing than I originally imagined?

3. How can I find peace in the pause, trusting that my desires are not denied but only divinely delayed?

The Incubation Portal: You’re Not Doing It Wrong

As a hypnosis expert and transformational guide, I often remind my clients and students of this truth: just because you can’t see the crack doesn’t mean the shell isn’t thinning.

Manifestation has its own rhythm. Its own sacred temperature. Its own divine timeline. Like a chicken egg resting under the steady warmth of the hen, your deepest desires are incubating in a field of invisible precision. From the outside, it may look like nothing is happening. But inside the shell? Life is reorganizing. Energetic blueprints are updating. Your next reality is forming.

In our fast-paced world, we’ve been taught to worship immediacy: fast results, instant gratification, visible evidence. But that’s not how nature works. That’s not how healing works. And it’s certainly not how manifestation through hypnosis works.

If you try to crack the shell before it’s time, you won’t birth your vision…you’ll break it. You’ll get fragments instead of flow. Because readiness isn’t just about how badly you want something, it’s about whether your system can hold and sustain it.

Hypnosis Is the Inner Incubator

This is where hypnosis for manifestation becomes essential. Hypnosis isn’t here to force outcomes. It’s here to regulate the internal climate so your dreams can thrive.

Through hypnotic trance, we calm the part of the mind that panics in stillness. We soothe the nervous system that equates silence with failure. And we speak directly to the subconscious, repatterning beliefs, activating aligned frequency, and deepening trust in divine timing.

Hypnosis creates the warm inner nest where your future self can be rehearsed: safely, somatically, and successfully.

You’re Not Blocked…You’re Becoming

So many of my clients come to me saying, “Liz, I must be doing something wrong. It’s not showing up.” But here’s what I know:
You are exactly where you need to be.
You are in motion, even when it feels still.
You are manifesting with precision, not delay.

You are inside a timeline recalibration. You are selecting realities. And some realities require more gestation—not as punishment, but because they’re powerful, precise, and worth every sacred second.

Embodying the "Already Done" Frequency

The version of you that already lives the life you’re calling in? She’s not checking the clock. She’s not begging for signs. She’s calm, grounded, magnetic. Through hypnosis, you become her now. You allow your nervous system to rehearse ease. You embody the vibration of “it’s done,” and that shifts the frequency from lack to alignment.

Stop tapping on the shell. Stop doubting your process. The egg knows when to crack. So does your soul.

This is not inaction. This is sacred readiness.

3 Hypnosis-Backed Reframing Questions to Support Your Hatch:

1. What if my current stillness is sacred, not stagnant?

You are not late.
You are incubating.
And when it’s time, the crack will come—on time, in alignment, and in perfect resonance with the life your spirit already knows is yours.
