You Can't Manifest from Maybe #243

There is one sneaky little energetic pattern that might be slowing your manifesting momentum: indecision.  Or maybe you've said yes, but you felt not 100% "in it".

All the affirmations and vision boards in the world can't override a lack of full-hearted commitment.

In this episode, we're exploring the truth that you just can't manifest from maybe.   That half-in, half-out energy?  It's not doing you any favors. That energy sends mixed signals to the Universe—and your Spirit Guides. :/

We’ll talk about the importance of clarity AND commitment, so you can avoid limbo.  You’ll hear why hesitation is often a protective mechanism and how to shift into confident alignment without pushing or forcing.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of hoping, wishing, waiting—and you’re ready to really receive what your soul has been calling in— listen in , so you can find your way into higher alignment.

Christina Wooten: 2:06

there, kindred spirits. Welcome to Modern Life and Spirit Podcast. I'm Christina Wooten, certified psychic medium at SedonaMedium.com Welcome to our episode today. How is your week going so far? I know we've had a lot of things shifting around. In the month of June. We have new revelations coming forward, with this new energy coming in July, which I think we're all welcoming. We're excited for some deeper level of healing. On the personal level, I think we're we're seeking that. I've definitely noticed a lot of shifting on deeper layers, which I am so welcoming into life right now. But I thought I would share with you one of those little inner child joys that just came up for me recently. It just makes me smile. I don't know if you can hear it, but it just like I'm beaming. My whole face is a big smile right now. And it's, it's one of those silly things, but it just connects with that inner child. So I, as a kid, loved the Care Bears, like loved, and maybe I should be more specific, love the Care Bears, but Cheer Bear was definitely my favorite, the one the pink one with the little rainbow on the tummy. And my birthday cakes, even for a few years, were shaped like Cheer Bear. I mean, it was really pretty epic, thanks to mom. And this week, I stumbled across something weird that is bringing me great, great joy, and that is the discovery that there are Care Bear band aids. They are actually shaped like the Care Bears. The individual ones they've got like their cute little tummies. It's in full color. I ordered them immediately, without a second thought. And now this is strange, but I'm just realizing, as I'm saying this, that I'm weirdly kind of waiting around for the good excuse so I can use one of these band aids that I have because they are so darn cute, and they made me smile so much. Anyway, probably not the energy that I want to put out there, but it made me smile this week. I hope that you are giving yourself some little silly, frivolous joys. Also today, we are going to be talking about the power of your Yes, and how that impacts the way that energy flows into or around our lives, depending on what's going on. Want you to think about if you've ever had this experience where you've been dragging your feet on something, and the moment that you finally decide, like you lock it in your mind, you make it official, where you can feel the shift that happens from that. And the next thing you know, just suddenly that the energy changes, you start to get all of this instant affirmation from the universe. So maybe you wrestled with starting something new, with moving, with saying yes to a different kind of healing path. But when you committed, when you really said yes, you fully locked it in, you notice clients start booking, or synchronicities started popping up, or things just started really flowing for you. That's the kind of commitment that we're talking about. And at the same time, kind of on the other end of the spectrum, you've noticed how things that you're maybe half hearted committed to just never come into fruition. They Something about it just doesn't ever carry that juice or that traction, because you said yes, but your energy maybe it said a different story. It told the truth that you never really had the true intention to follow through, to make the shifts, to make the changes, or to take that path further right, our energy is always speaking for us, and so we see from that the power and the importance of our true level of commitment when we say yes to something. I hear a lot of people talk about clarity, but clarity really means very little. Without having commitment, you can have all the clarity in the world, but if you don't follow through with committing, if you don't. Take that next step, you it doesn't matter. Doesn't mean anything. There is an energetic shift that happens when we stop just dabbling and kind of playing in things and really deeply say yes and say yes to what that means, the change and the shifts that it means. And it doesn't mean that we have to know the whole plan. It just means that we're allowing our energy to start to flow and move into that direction. Right commitment carries with it a energetic weight that the universe and our guides and our soul really respond to. It anchors our energy into a specific direction, so it brings things down into the root chakra. And the Root Chakra really drives us forward into our identity and how we are expressing that out in the world. When we make decisions, when we make choices, we commit to something, it begins to move energy in that area of the body. And the lower chakras are what helps us bring things into form, bring things into physical form. So a commitment, when we energetically commit to something and we give it our full Yes, it starts to implant that energy into the root chakra, and that is what triggers all of this shift that you see, your guides, your intuition in the universe respond to that signal. So think about it, you know, you're a rocket on a launch pad. All the systems are ready, ready to go. Spirit is standing by. Your guides are ready. But until you hit that go for launch, red button that's there, nothing moves. Commitment is the final key that tells your guides, that tells everything to start to shift, that you're ready. It's like, that's the let's go signal so you move from the launch pad to things firing up, and it actually moving forward before that time until you commit your energy is, you know, very scattered. No matter how much you think about it, it stays in the realm of thought, and it doesn't engage those lower chakras, which are what help to bring things into form. And I know that you have seen it happen in your life, those things that you, on some level, didn't really want just kind of, you know, have a tendency to fall apart. Maybe you said, Yes, I will do XYZ, but you really just didn't want to, and you didn't put the energy in, and nothing really shifted as a result. And you know nothing happened from it, right? And then there are those times where you feel this really strong driving force, yes, and it just opens doors around you. We know that commitment is like the juice or the gas that gets things moving and going. But a lot of people just find themselves staying in that non committal zone, like trying to be responsive to life rather than leading and moving forward, because that's more comfortable. Maybe it's a fear of being wrong or a fear of the consequences of the actions that you're taking. It can be, you know, you're doing something out of obligation and you're not really wanting to do it, so you never fully commit to doing it. It can be perfectionism, I know that comes up all the time where you just want to have it all figured out first. So if I just take one more course, if I just create one more spreadsheet, etc, etc, then I will feel secure. But of course, you know, we never really get there right to that full sense of security, because we know that there's there's no guarantees, right? There's no guarantees to what those outcomes can look like, so the delay just kind of continues and continues and continues. There's people pleasing, you know, what if? What if other people don't understand, or what if my partner isn't supportive, or what if my boss isn't going to give me that extra time that that needs. It's like sometimes we start to say no to ourselves, as if we're acting like the universe, not even asking fully for what it is that we want. We're just envisioning that we're going to get that no right, and then envisioning how we need to massage and finesse and people please, to get what it is that maybe you're looking for. But it's so important not to pre say no to yourself, you hold your role right, that other person can hold their responsibilities in their role. You don't have to hold all of that at one time. One perspective is enough. There can be past. Disappointments or trauma around failure or abandonment. There's so many reasons that kind of keep us in that in between place. Committing to something is scary. Making a decision can be scary. It requires a lot of trust. It requires trust in ourselves, in our capabilities, in our intuition that our feelings are really guiding us in the right direction. It requires a huge amount of trust in the universe to deliver those resources that we need to pull it all together. We all spend too much time hanging out on the fence. So there's nothing wrong if you're kind of a perpetual fence sitter. Sometimes, you know, we're in that mode of gathering data, but at some point, staying in that limbo state becomes a real drain. You can end up staying in Old Energy for far too long. You can end up in that transitional kind of purgatory place where everything feels stale and you just start getting more and more sick and tired of the same old stuff. We've all been there where secretly you're abdicating your power in the back of your mind. You're thinking that I'll be led if I just kind of keep delaying and keep waiting, that somehow the universe is going to send me this memo and I can just respond to it, and, you know, not be afraid of the consequences. But rarely does that happen. Rarely does delay lead, you know, necessarily to the answer. Usually we just end up depriving ourselves of our own life force because we're not where we need to be. We're not doing what we need to be doing, and as a result, we've taken ourselves out of the flow, out of universal life force, energy. We've fallen out of trust, and our energy starts to pull away, until we change our course, and that is not a fun place to be. There's a huge shift that happens when you really say yes and you mean it, so you're in alignment on all levels of Yes, I'm ready for this energy starts to flow to you. So all of that energy you felt kind of deprived of because you haven't been in alignment, suddenly it's reversed, and all that energy is flowing back to you. There's a shift in your life force energy. You're feeling more alive. You're feeling more animated. You're you can notice it in your body, because your chakras are getting more energy, which in turn is helping to fuel your physical body more you might start to see people and resources show up, or start to see synchronicities just instantaneously coming in, and decisions become a lot easier, because now you're actually in the flow. You aren't straddling all the possibilities and trying to hold space for you know, every single one of those options, you've chosen a direct path, so you shift from trying to beginning to embody because your energy is starting to speak that language. So that feedback that I'm talking about might be if a healer decides to fully own their gift, so they finally say, I'm ready, I'm here. I'm going to do it. I'm going to follow my calling, even though I'm scared. And suddenly referrals just start flowing in. You know, really, they didn't tweak anything outside. They didn't change the website. They didn't change where their advertising, they didn't change, you know, their business card. It was an internal shift. And suddenly things started showing up in a different way, or maybe you are saying yes to a relationship. You finally committing to something, and the dynamic opens up, it starts to deepen, and you see big changes there. We get that instantaneous sort of feedback that's responding to what we're doing internally. It's the internal energetic shift. And here's something that I know I'm going to want to clear up in advance. Commitment doesn't mean that you have to have the full plan or know exactly where it's going to take you, what's going to happen, how this resource is going to come into play. That's not really your job. Those steps will make themselves known to you as you move along the path. The commitment energetically is to just take the next one. I'm open and I'm willing to explore what this means for me, and this is where trust comes in. The how is going to reveal itself after the Yes. So energetically, you just say, Yes, this is where I'm headed. This is what I'm committing to. Then you get the response about what that looks like. That's where some of those synchronicities can come in. That's where some of those resources can come in, where people send you an email or message, hey. Say, I love to talk to you about XYZ, and you're thinking, perfect. I was just looking for someone. I've asked my guide several times, you know, Okay, I'm ready for this in my life. Can you please send me someone who can help with XYZ? And it's been amazing how quickly things will just show up. You know, they're not going to do all the work, right? But suddenly the guidance comes in, and within, usually about a week or so, I have some direction there, so that can be something. Make sure that you ask your guides for help as well. Once you've made that commitment and soul aligned commitment, it feels steady in the gut, right? Your mind might be freaking out, a little bit nervous, still trying to figure out the plan, nervous about how those resources are going to come forward. But inside, there's a calm and there's a sense of direction, really, you might feel that in your solar plexus too. So here's what I want you to think about, just right now. I want you to see what comes up intuitively. We want to kind of get out of the brain a little bit, kind of take some deep breaths, set the tone here, and I want you to see what comes up in response to this question. So what are you led to? Where are you drawn? A lot of times we know the answer instinctively, so we're just going to allow that to reveal itself or to come forward. Where in your life are you half in and half out? Just pick one area where you've just maybe been on the fence, or you've been kind of circling over and over and over again, you haven't made a decision. Where are you half in and half out? You now, once you know what area of life that's impacting you the most, you probably know why it's been hard for you to make this decision, or why you've been kind of, you know, sitting around and not following through, and maybe why you're listening to this podcast today, right? It's so important to to really put faith and trust in our soul, that our soul knows the way when you commit to truth, when you commit to what is real for you, that is going to be supported, and that's really the only thing that's being supported, right? Because you can say yes to someone, and internally you're really saying no, and the universe is going to respond to that. It's going to respond to that no, that you're giving out, even though you said yes, it's going to know that that isn't authentic for you. So your truth is going to be supported Now, if you're struggling because you've been circling for a really long time, one of the things that has really worked for me in the past is the word willingness. So I'll say something like, I'm willing to see this decision in a whole new light, or I'm willing to see this decision from spirit's eyes, or I'm willing to shift this energy in a positive way. And really mean that you don't have to, you know, know exactly what that means, but mean that you're willing to see it shift in a positive way, and you'll be amazed at how things do start to move, you'll have new insights. Awakenings will come forward. Sometimes. For people who have a lot of intuitive messages and dreams, you might get some messages in your dreams as well. So really pay attention to those. When you start asking those types of questions, but telling yourself and letting you know, I'm willing to change my mind about this, I'm willing to see the truth of the situation that starts to get things moving. If you've been feeling really resistant, and if you're scared of commitment, and what that means, or feeling like you know somehow commitment maybe takes you out of the flow. Just remember, commitment isn't that you're locking yourself into a prison. You are always allowed to choose again, but sometimes the only way to really know something is to commit to it, to try it on, to see how it feels to really be in it. That's how you build trust with yourself and your path. That's how you understand something. That's how we grow. You can always shift change and respond to the energy that's being presented to you. You're infinitely supported. Your Spirit guides are always standing by. They're ready to help. They're gonna help you get to that next chapter. Okay? But here's the thing. The universe responds to clarity, and anything less than a full body Yes, it reads as a no, and you'll be supported in that also right spirit is never going to force you. But when you say yes, when you truly say yes to something aligned, the support rushes in. The doors open, the energy flows, the life force comes back. Your guides cheer. They want so much to see you living fully, to explore the gifts that you've been given, and to create a life that really reflects the energy of your soul and the beauty of your soul. So maybe this here is your push from the spirit world that says it's time, it's time to make that decision on something that you've been dragging your feet on and don't settle for the I'm just going to say yes because I feel like I'm supposed to say yes, or now is the time that I'm supposed to make this decision, really keep searching until you find that true, yes, within yourself, because the settling it, you know, doesn't do anything for you. It's not really going to help you. You're not going to manifest based on it. You know, the opportunities are not going to come. You're not really shifting any energy with a fake Yes. So wait for your true aligned, yes, but keep exploring to find it. Allow yourself to ask the important questions, to do new things, to try new things. If you've been trying certain things and they're not working, try new things. Keep bringing new energy in welcome new perspective that is going to help you as well, to be able to get out of that rut, to get out of some of that resistance, and move forward with your yes, I'm wishing you clarity and commitment and love and support and compassion for yourself, for where you have been, maybe dragging your feet a little bit, but I know that it's time for some fresh energy. I know that it's time for that life force to come back into your life, for you to feel that uplifting energy that you've needed, and I'm excited to see how that manifests for you. Much love, many blessings. The
