A Reader’s Story of Hummingbirds in Meditation

“Hello, I was meditating the other day and a blue cloud had opened up. When it opened I viewed through and saw a window with a bench pushed up against it. through the window was a tree and with in it there was a humming bird gracefully there flapping its wings 100 miles an hour. as I opened my eyes slowly the vision of the bird was still there. what does this symbolic sign mean? It was such a powerful and strong vision. I did feel warmth and peace as i experienced this.”

Hummingbird Meditation and the Aura of Healing

I find it interesting that you saw the color blue in your meditation. When asked the colors I see when witnessing the healing energy that flows in a hummingbird healing the most predominant color is blue. I don’t believe that any color can or will be isolated though, there are many frequencies that flow as well like the overtones heard when striking a key on a piano, or seeing the aura of light around a lightbulb.

That location within your vision with the tree and the bench, that is symbolic of the space that exists for you to be at peace and reconciled. Isn’t that what we do when we meditate, with reconciliation being the unspoken destination? It is not always about finding answers or defining our own energy, those are just tidbits of our life.

Hummingbird Symbols and a Time of Reconciliation

My queue of questions doesn’t always allow me time to respond right away, and I try to answer questions as I can. As this question finally took its place and I was able to give it my attention, the words of strength were clear. My ongoing curiosity lead me to take another look at the definition of the word Reconciliation. I smiled with agreement with the first line of this definition: “Restore friendly relations between”.  Yes, that is precisely the intent in combining into a story of a hummingbird, meditation, and reconciliation.

The meditation is an action that could also be described as a bridge or a vessel. The hummingbird is a symbol, but what does that mean? When we have a hummingbird symbol or any symbol the meaning runs deep, far beyond the words that could ever be contained in a post or even a book. Stories paint the picture, but leave vast room for us to fill in the pieces in our own individual way.

Hummingbird Meditation and Reconciliation

What about the reconciliation part, where does that fit in? Imagine being within the twilight of morning, that time when the sun begins to rise. The light rises so gradually, long before our eyes can detect the light, but it is there. And this light, as it rises, brings our world together before our eyes. Reconciliation comes gracefully when we are in that accepting place, taking part in the greater picture but seeing it all through our own eyes.

We Are More Than Just Alive

There is more to life than just living, for we are conscious beings by design. But how do we build upon our awareness? The focus on nature and spirituality, whether combined or separated, is actually a pathway to the same place. Let’s look at one example, you will more clearly see why I use nature-consciousness, hummingbirds, and other nature spirits as a bridge to our own spiritual enrichment.

Bring your attention to the hummingbird, just for a moment. The rapid movement of it’s wings, the amazing colors reflected off it’s feathers, it’s tiny presence that is so captivating. This bird does not live in our fast-paced, mentally-stimulated world. it lives in a calmer more aware state. Hummingbirds live in what I call the “twilight” state, and we cannot appreciate a hummingbird, or anything in nature, without shifting our own consciousness into a slower alpha or theta state.

Our Twilight State

This state of consciousness, the Twilight state, is like a bridge between the yin and yang, the night and day, and our own presence within the world. Our mind wants to pull us in one direction, only one, and to live purely in the day-to-day consciousness. We tend to be so practiced in the beta frequencies of the brain that we forget the power and the pleasure found when we simply “tune to another channel”.

In fact, that description says it all. Would you be happy with the internet if you could only reach one website? No, you’d become bored, and would soon stop paying attention. The same applies to our conscious state, and meditation, prayer, spirituality, and nature all give us more consciousness bandwidth. The twilight state, a frequency of nature, and what is known as well as the meditative state or Theta frequencies. Shifting into that state and consciously remaining at that frequency gives us a chance to broaden our range of awareness and have a stronger sense of self while still “being” able to interact with the “world”.

Walk With Wings

I love those times of the day, the twilight times when we teeter between night and day. By bringing my attention to the beauty of the sky and the brilliant colors displayed with the sunrise and the sunset I am able to shift into a more happy consciousness. This is by choice, not chance or opportunity, I create that connection. By placing the calmer, focused and receptive thought into that time of day I am in charge of that moment.

Theta Brain Wave Consciousness

Even with so many times that I have seen it I am still surprised as I look outside, when the darkness has only begun to shift into day, and I see one of the hummingbirds already at a feeder, feasting on the nectar. We are both in the same place at the same time, taking the time to replenish as we begin a new day. My time spent in this mindful state of appreciation, allowing myself to spend this moment in the theta twilight consciouness, only takes a minute. But that moment is the bridge between the every-day and the infinite, so richly filled as thought it were some divine endorsement for the most amazing state of living. I turn and walk away, shifting my attention to the everyday world, but each step carries a tiny spark of that twilight consciousness, and I walk with wings.

There is a passage in the bible when Jesus says, paraphrased, “You can read the sky and predict what will be tomorrow, yet you cannot read the signs of the times”. Many take this passage quite literally, but many of our spiritual texts go far deeper than is initially seen.

Seeing our own reflection. Is there purpose behind the face that we are sensory creatures, seeing the world around us but not ourselves? Some will answer, “I see myself all the time”, turning to their mirrors and other methods of reflection.

Sensory World

If we revisit the idea that we are sensory creatures we will see that our walk in life is a relational space. In simpler words, we have two side: the experiences with the outside world that cause a sensory response, and our perception of those sensory reactions. Take it a step further and we could question the word “reaction”. Is that not the return or repetition of an action? Where does the action begin? Certainly we could say that it is the stimulus, and that would make the world around us as the origin of our life experiences. Let’s go a bit deeper.

Everything We See

Without our own participation, our awareness and sensory abilities, there would be no “reaction”. That would make us the origin of everything we see, sense, and experience. This gives us great power in our ability to create our own life and the wisdom that is drawn from the many moments of our life.

“You can read the sky, but how well do you read ‘the times’?” What is ‘the times’? Is it the world around us? SInce we are aware, and we sense and react, then isn’t ‘the times’ something that comes from within?

Seeing Our Own Reflection

Seeing our own reflection: it’s an act within. As I typed this article I truly enjoyed the play of words. Each time I wrote ‘sensory creature’ I actually wrote ‘sensory being’, but then back-spaced and re-wrote it. The creature reacts, responding to the world around it and playing its role. It is the sensory ‘being’ who is the owner, the origin, and the creator. This is the moral of the story and the bottom line, we are here to be more than a reaction, we are here as ‘being’ so we can Walk with Wings.

“I think it is ironic and funny that just as I typed those words I caught sight of a light to the side of me. My Ipod was suddenly “active”, even though I had not touched it, hadn’t even bumped the table where it rests. The message displayed on the screen was “charged”. I cannot help but laugh, isn’t that the way it is? When we return to that place of our first spark of consciousness, return our attention within, we can be fully “charged”. This is the place where we can combine our energy with our thoughts and make choices that are conscious and intentional. This is what I mean when I say, “Walk with Wings”.”

Walk with Wings

How does all this relate to the Hummingbird and the idea of the Hummingbird Shaman and our ability to Walk with Wings™? Notice just one of the abilities that a hummingbird possesses that sets it apart from the other birds: a hummingbird is able to go to great depth to find what it has been searching for. I was amazed and thrilled to see a hummingbird drink from a flower before the flower even opened!

How do we draw a parallel between the feeding habits of a bird and our quest for fulfillment within our own lives? It is knowing what you seek in the first place, even if the words do not exist. Another thread to add to this tapestry we weave is to make choices that help you achieve your goal, which means the hummingbird may be fooled occasionally by something colorful, but will quickly abandon the false lead and return to its quest for life-giving nectar. Another thread to add to our story is that the value is not always found “right in front of us”, on the surface. Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to find gold.

Can we relate Hummingbird Shaman concepts to our interactions with others?

Have faith in your ability to recognize what lies within, even if it is a little deeper than expected. Even if, through your intent to find the best in someone or something, we too can be mislead. Do not be discouraged, but remember that your time and energy are important. Sometimes we must walk away, with wings, and give that “flower” we found time to rejuvenate itself – we can always return.
