This short clip of a hummingbird in slow motion gives a clear view of the movement of a hummingbird’s wings. It appears that the wings move in the shape of a figure eight, otherwise known as the infinity symbol.
Most of us have heard about the infinity symbol and its connection to metaphysical or universal concepts, but what does it really mean? Is the hummingbird a sign of eternal living, with the infinity symbol woven in every turn of its wings? Let’s explore a few theories:
The infinity symbol is a never-ending loop between two sides. This connects the infinity symbol with yin and yang, thought to be the primal force that creates life in this world.
How do we tie this back to the hummingbird? The hummingbird’s wing movement is different than other birds, and the hummingbird can do manuveurs that no other bird is capable of doing. There are theories in science that the hummingbird is actually descended from dinosaurs, that dinosaurs did not become extinct but evolved into birds. Is there a correlation between the hummingbird wing movement and the concept of infinity?
We cannot help but be fascinated by the hummingbird, the smallest bird that exists today. When we explore their world we see that they are amazing survivalists, and in the spiritual communities around the world they are respected and honored.
The hummingbird’s world moves at a different pace than the human world, which could account for the rarity of sightings by so many people. This tiny bird can beat its wings up to 70 times in a second, and its heartbeat can reach up to 1,260 beats in a minute.
