Recently I received this email from a HummingbirdShaman.com reader who asked about her own encounters and the hidden meaning. This reprint is by permission:
“I was looking on the internet tonight trying to get an idea of the symbolism of my hummingbird experience. I came across your site and wondered if you’d have any input [...]

With a shift in my schedule I decided to relocate for a week or so to the desert. The intent centered around letting go of the alluring draw of my surroundings as an excuse to put aside the writing of my storybook on the Mayan Tzolkin spiritual life cycle.
