The hummingbird and the power of swiftness and flexibility
The hummingbird is one of the most fascinating birds because of its ability to move its body swiftly, change direction quickly and smoothly, seemingly gliding from one place to another. By affinity with this power animal, you can be encouraged to use or develop a similar skill.
When the hummingbird shows up in your life, it may be an invitation to flex you path, perhaps even bending backward or forward, in order to accommodate life’s circumstances. You may be required to adapt to a situation that is a bit more demanding than usual. The wisdom carried by this spirit animal emphasizes flexibility and lightness in your approach to the unexpected.
The hummingbird, a power animal indicative of strong sensibility
By association with the hummingbird power animal, you may have already developed a strong adaptability and are typically quick to respond to any demand. You may also have a high sensibility and feel every nuances of emotions or movement in your environment.
Brought to the extreme, this ability may lead you to emotional instability as you shift rapidly from one feeling or mood to another without warning. The hummingbird totem wisdom could challenge you to figure out how to stand strong while being able to move quickly and fly high, whether it’s through your personal or spiritual aspirations.
How to use the hummingbird spirit guide to lift up negativity
The spirit of the hummingbird is a powerful mean to lighten up your mood when you feel down. This power animal is a useful ally to lift you up and instill more joy and playfulness in your daily grind.
When facing challenges or an environment plagued by negativity, call on the hummingbird to help you bring a positive outlook on the situation and find your way out with optimism.
The hummingbird totem and the wisdom of accomplishing great feats
Don’t be deceived by the size of this spirit animal: Even if the hummingbird is one of the smallest birds, it can travel great distances. Those who have that bird as totem are characterized by their resiliency and their ability to run great distances tirelessly. Inspired by this totem, you will be inclined to accomplish what seems impossible to most while keeping it light and enjoyable.
The hummingbird is known for burning a lot of energy quickly to keep flying and therefore needs to find sources of food constantly. If you have the hummingbird as a totem, you may benefit from resting often and taking time to feed yourself with enough, whether it’s physically, emotionally or spiritually, to keep going.
Dreaming About The Hummingbird
A hummingbird in your dreams is often considered a good omen as it brings luck. The hummingbirds graceful and quick motions are considered a symbol of accomplishing your goals quickly and effectively.
While the hummingbird may be small, it brings the message that even small things can have great power. Hummingbird asks you not to judge something by its size. Even the smallest idea can have great power! What might you have overlooked?
The hummingbird moves quickly here there and everywhere. This frequent and fast movement has been symbolic of freedom. If hummingbird shows up in your dreams, it may be asking you to see if your freedom is being caged somewhere in your life.

heehee ^^ This is so true…but I never knew it would be a hummingbird that represents my weird optimistic personality ^^ The only problem I have is a lot of friends that hate life and are always depressive…I know I stand out but…it makes me wonder if they even know what fun is. I hope I can meet a hummingbird once. And I hope that encounter helps me so I might be able to cheer up my friends.. :3
I am Hummingbird and was given the name many, many years ago.
I love life and when outdoors it is not uncommon for hummingbirds to be around me. I’ve had them perch right next to me as others have flown about in their graceful, swift dance. I’ve held a hummingbird that I had found in my barn. He allowed me to pick him up and release him back outdoors. With these encounters only remind me that I am Hummingbird and hummingbird is always there when you need them. :)
I am also a hummingbird and say the same…I can’t wait to meet another hummingbird, so I’m allowed to have a break and have some one to lean on for some positivity! It will happen!
I didn’t think I was going to be a hummingbird but now I know I am even filled with more energy and feeling more playful.
I have been feeling negative and filled with doubts. I am normally an optimistic person with a can do spirit, but lately I have trouble with self confidence under new circumstances. Today as I was watering my newly seeded garden I was visited by a hummingbird and my spirit felt so uplifted and joyful. I felt like a child. This visit expanded my heart and lighten my attitude. The visit was brief but the affects of this blessing will stay with me. So grateful.
I was moved to share because of several key words in your story. I have a newly seeded garden. I spend several hours per day in the backyard doing brick work and nurturing the baby plants because I live near Palm Springs CA and the desert is starting to get hot in the daytime. If I notice some leaves wilting I cover them with a bucket for a few hours and that seems to revive them. Before I started the garden I only saw hummingbirds once in a while. After the garden a hummingbird visits several times per day while I am outside. I am intrigued that she/he always hovers over the exact same spot in the yard and is very comfortable with me. I always stop what I am doing and give my attention to the hummingbird. It always uplifts me and grounds me. I even ask out loud “What is your wisdom?” I feel the answer is that gardens connect humans with both the Earth and the animals. It also has me wondering if I should dig in that spot because I polish interesting rocks that I find in the yard (which 500 years ago was the bottom of Lake Cahuilla). I have also noticed that she/he eats the puffs of dandelion seeds that I transplanted from the front yard to the backyard because society considers them weeds. My circle of friends knows that dandelions are awesome for many reasons. It reminds me to follow my path and not that of society. Lastly, if I were to describe myself in 1 word it would be “grateful”.
I’m in the Bay Area, 30 mins. from San Francisco, and we have had a pretty cold spring. And no, I don’t have a bird feeder of any kind…
My apartment is on the fourth floor, and I love sitting on the balcony…
Last week, a humming bird was flying around, came INSIDE the balcony, STOPPED right in front of my face, stood there for about 7 seconds staring at me!!!… I just smiled, but I did noticed a happy feeling after the event.
I was so shocked that a bird would come so close to me, and to stop and stare right on my face??
So I called my 19 year old daughter to tell her what happened and how lucky I was..
Well, this humming bird has come to my balcony every day for the past five days!!!..
He/she does the same thing; Stops about a foot away from my face, and just stares at me!.. Almost as if it wants to talk to me, at least that’s how it feels to me…
So I called my daughter today, to tell her that it did it again..my daughter said:
“Mamá!!!..I think it’s a sign!!.. I bet it means something!!”..
Soooo, she made me wonder, and my wondering made me go to google and I just typed this:
“theres a humming bird that every day comes to my balcony where im sitting, he stops in front of my face and stares at me”.
I was curious to know what google would say, and fist thing is this blog & information about the spirit bird that I had NO idea of!!
I am SO shocked at the description, since it’s SO true of what I’ve been going through since last week!!
Is it a coincidence this bird shows up at a time when Im down and feel negativity (I’m a very positive and optimistic person)at the moment???
I’m so speechless, that I decided to actually take the time and share my experience here.
Thank you!.. I no longer wonder :)))
I want to buy a bird feeder to feed the humming birds. I heard you have to have nectar in this bottle thing and they drink it with their beaks.
So Ive had experiences with hummingbirds for years. Everyday a hummingbird comes to visit me. Just last week two hummingbirds flew right in front of me and started talking. My neighbor was 5 ft away and they got in between us. And today one flew on to my shoulder. I have no flowers or feeders in my yard.
9 years ago I decided to kill myself. I got all these books on how to do it and my best friend was over at my house. We were sitting in the den and the patio doors were open. I was very emotional—in more pain than I can convey in words. Just about everything in my life had been removed from my life and apart from that I suffered from morbid depression and had all my life. I had just lost all desire to keep on keeping on if you know what I mean. Suddenly a humming bird flew into the room, circled my head and flew out again. It did this 8 times in a row. Bear in mind my yard had no flowers or feeder. There was nothing bright that could have attracted it. It clearly was there to see me. The intuitive hit I got was that Jesus (and I didn’t really follow Jesus at the time) was saying through the bird, your message has been received. We know what you’re going through and you have too many challenges on your playe; you have suffered enough. From that day on my struggle with chronic major depression lifted and its never returned. Today I view that encounter as a kind of near death experience in which I was told not to leave, but in which I got spiritual help so I had a fighting chance to make good use of my life. My attitude was, I’m just wasting time being here—I can’t deal with all of this at once and stand a chance of accomplishing what I came to do on a spiritual level. I NEVER expected to be relieved of something I’d carried all my life but that humming bird was proof to me that someone was listening to me and felt my need for help was valid. And whoever that someone was they had enough power to change the course of my life by eliminating depression the same was addictions are removed from some people. After reading many other personal accounts, it seems like maybe when humming birds show up, the message they may be delivering from the creator is, “I’m aware of your pain and I’m going to help you.”
Kathy669, I loved your story :))
“it” saved your life :)
You are God’s chosen one :)))
I’m not religious at all, but I’m very spiritual, and DO believe in God, a power grater than my self, or whatever anyone wants to call it.
I watered plants one morning and one let me give it a shower. I was shaking because of the cuteness and its beauty.Blessed am I…!!!!
Ive had numerous encounters with hummingbirds. Had to catch them and take them outside and release them. I couldn’t believe how small they were…like the size of a moth. When im putting my feeders out they dont even wait for me to get them hung. Sometimes I see them hovering at the window looking in at me. They are intriguing.
A few nights ago I experienced the most vivid dream of a beautiful blue hummingbird. He was flying, yet staying in one place. I saw the movement of air rippling from his wings. I met an extraordinary man the very next day. He said an eagle feather fell on his foot the same day. What can this all mean?
My lovely red hummingbird came today while its raining hard so happy he came.
My hummingbird visits me when I’m in need the most of enlightenment today I finally decided to look it up
