The Sweet Taste of Nectar

As a shamanic intuitive reader I have opportunity to see so many amazing qualities in individuals. The greatest part is that its not where we live that matters, or the color of our skin. Our life qualities are not based upon our education, not in the book-learning sense. True wisdom is found deep within our life experience and in the knowledge we hold on a soul or spirit level.

Just the other day I was speaking with a friend in Australia who is also a spiritual reader. She commented that I was “finding the nectar in life”, and I chucked, reminding her of my alliance with the hummingbirds. At that point I realized that in recent times more of my focus on the hummingbirds was directed to their more masculine or yang qualities.

It’s easy for us to focus on what we can do. After all, actions speak louder than words.

Actions, in a sense, can be seen as an outward direction. Actions are also usually based on something concrete and specific. We set a goal, or have an intention, or put our focus on something and then off we go, using some action to “get there”.

There is another side to the coin and that is what we have. We all have a core essence, a state of being, and that state of being gives purpose to our actions. There is also one very important part of our being that focuses on what we are able to receive. Call it by the law of attraction term, it is the resonance you have, that magnetic aspect that attracts to you whatever you believe in.

This is where the hummingbird comes into play. This amazing tiny bird is a fierce warrior, strong and capable for its size. The hummingbird is also able to find the sweetest of nectar and is designed to enjoy what is out of reach for so many others.

Today let’s broaden our scope and bring greater consciousness to our ability to enjoy the sweet nectar of life. There are more ants in this world carrying their heavy loads, but you will always find in the sky above them the hummingbird, enjoying the sweet taste of the nectar.

Open your heart for a moment and relax, and with the blessings of the hummingbird totem please accept the energies of the hummingbird spirit.
