Ever since I re-posted a post from Raising Ecstasy’s page on Facebook, I’ve been so drawn to hummingbirds. Of course, immediately I was attracted to the phrase, “Ride the energy of your own unique spirit”, but the flock of birds and one colorful, free bird flying alone inspired my next tattoo! I so resonate with the lone hummingbird in the pic! Being drawn to the hummingbird as a spirit animal guide naturally ignited the research of spiritual meanings of hummingbirds.
Spiritual Meanings & How It Relates To Me
“The hummingbird spirit animal symbolizes the enjoyment of life and lightness of being.” Wow, on my spiritual journey and recent outlook on life, enjoying my life is at the top of the list forever and ever! Learning to not take things so seriously, self-sabotaging; getting out of my own way, ebbing and flowing with the universe, asking, believing, and receiving all that I desire in life has definitely made me feel lighter! No fear, no worries! All LOVE!
“Those who have the hummingbird as a totem are invited to enjoy the sweetness of life, lift up negativity wherever it creeps in and express love more fully in their daily endeavors.” With being deep in day 3 of the “May Cause Miracles ” 40 day self-improvement journey, instead of reacting to negativity, which is illusionary (FEAR), I’m learning to see all things, all situations, all people with the lens of LOVE. Witnessing all that I’m afraid of and confronting it with LOVE is all that I’m vibrating at this point in my life. This hummingbird comes right on time for me, another reminder to express LOVE fully!
“By affinity with the hummingbird, those who have this bird as totem may be encouraged to develop their adaptability and resiliency while keeping a playful and optimistic outlook.” I’ve always been a person who can adapt to change easily, adapt to life’s hiccups, and with ease, grow out of my lessons with insight, stronger and wiser. I’ve been through so many emotionally traumatic situations, I’ve learned that ultimately I create every situation in my life, positive or negative. If I thought it, focused on it, gave it much energy, the universe definitely gave back it! Now, I drown myself in positive affirmations. I have no choice but to look at life optimistically! No one else can keep me miracle-minded better than me, and I don’t expect anyone to!
The hummingbird generally symbolizes joy and playfulness, as well as adaptability. Additional symbolic meanings are:
- Lightness of being, enjoyment of life
- Being more present
- Independence
- Bringing playfulness and joy in your life
- Lifting up negativity
- Swiftness, ability to respond quickly
- Resiliency, being able to travel great distances tirelessly
“If the hummingbird shows up in your life as a spirit animal, it may remind you to enjoy life’s simple pleasures and take time to enjoy yourself. The hummingbird’s wisdom carries an invitation to take part in and draw to you life’s sweetness, like you would drink the nectar of your own flower. The call of the hummingbird totem will guide you to open up to love and lightness in your emotional life. When you see your totem, you are encouraged to open up your heart and expose yourself more to joy and love. It might be time to show how you feel to loved ones or people who are close to you. ” So right on time for me! Yes, I practice showing LOVE to LOVED ones, but honestly not enough! I’m also working on showing more LOVE to those who are not in my immediate circle. LIGHT & LOVE to all, I mean that from the heart. Yes, I am willing to see everything I encounter differently! Yes, I am willing to see LOVE! I want LOVE to vibrate in every atom in my body!
