Hummingbird Shaman

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.

There certainly is a message from this interaction, and this is how I see it -

The hummingbirds set ‘the tone’, but a part of you that resides over your physical appearance, let’s call it your higher self, took this open doorway that the hummingbirds created, and brought a playfulness and joy
into your physical world. Wonderful! You listened and followed in the game, and it sounds like you enjoyed it, and took it as a wonderful healing as well.

It’s funny, I was reminded just yesterday of my early encounters with hummingbirds. When I was 13 years old I helped at my sister’s fishing resort during the summer. There were many hummingbirds in the area, and they would sometimes get trapped in the boathouse, and try to escape at the windows, which would not open. I would catch them with a fishing net and set them free, never once hurting one. This experience had been forgotten until Sunday,April 20, 2008, when I recollected that time and shared it with someone during a Body Mind Spirit Expo in Portland, Oregon,, and then I return home to find you had written to me that same day of such a similar experience. Amazing, isn’t it? What I find interesting is that you had a pair, not just one. Very keen observation!

You have created such a wonderful loving interaction with these amazing
hummingbirds, and so graciously shared it with your roommate. It looks
like your roommate is still a little surprised by the experience.

I am honored to share with everyone an inquiry regarding a hummingbird moment sent to me on April 20, 2008:

Hi, My name is Y.D., I live in Israel, this Friday I was cleaning my house and left the door open, when I wasn’t in the living room two humming birds flew in, I walked back into the room and saw them trying to get out of the living room windows which can’t really be opened, I called out to my room mate to help me.

I wasn’t sure if I could catch the humming bird without harming it, but then I did holding it in both my hands I walked to the front door and released it, the second one was still inside and my room mate was still trying to catch it, I thought about trying to catch it instead of him, and then stopped I realized that it was no coincidence that two had come in the house, I told my room mate don’t be afraid you won’t hurt it and it is so fun to set them free, and then just like that he managed to catch the second one and set it free. I can’t help but feel that this was a strong message only I am not sure what it means. Can you help me with some insight? Y.D.
