Walking with Wings

The Hummingbird holds a special place in our shamanic world, serving as a link between the physical worldly plane and the higher spiritual plane.

Greatness is not based upon our size, but on our presence. Be here, in the moment, and experience the lightness of being as you walk with wings.

It’s true: Alliances mean everything. A few weeks back we’d had freezing weather, and its unusual that our temperatures stay below freezing during daylight hours. Even with these drops in temperature there are at least two hummingbirds that remain. As I typed this story I look out the window to see the [...]

Animals Respond to Energy Healing

There is a big difference between working with people and working with animals. People have the power of the mind, which is both a blessing and a curse. We can bring about healing change through focus, and we can also mask situations and live within illusions.
Animals are different. They do not [...]

A Sign of an Eagle or a Symbol of Self?

Making decisions and taking action are two abilities we are capable of and expected to exercise in our daily lives. There are times though when we linger in our thoughts, and postpone choosing our path. Doesn’t our direction come from divine guidance? Shouldn’t the road be illuminated and clear?

It’s been a while since I have posted on the hummingbirds. Changes in my living and working space has created some separation. Most often, though, it is within our heart and our head that we create any division.

The day, like many, has been a roller-coaster of activity. Work that flows, and work that just appears to be busy. Phone calls and emails, and the adventure goes on – trying to hold together a dream by oh so carefully weaving together the pieces that will make it happen.

When Dragonflies Come a Knockin’

Lately I’ve been thinking that as I have been leaving my patio door open during the day that at some point one of my hummingbird visitors will find themselves inside the house.

After a few days away from home I spent a quiet sunday morning at a slower restful pace. The day was warming quickly, and so the option was there to leave the patio door open for a while. It was not long before I heard a loud calling from just outside the door. [...]

Today has been a quiet day, not by choice so much, at least not the conscious side of life. Sometimes we have days when we get so overwhelmed with the inner chatter filling our head with so many streams of to-do’s that its a wonder we get anything done.
