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.

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.

I have had a mandala wind chime for 10 years. It has bells hanging from it. For as long as I can remember the bell in the center of the wind chime has been missing. I always meant to hang something in the center but never did. A couple years ago a Hummingbird started hanging out with me on my porch. She one day perched in the center of the wind chime where the bell was missing. She then started to bring stuff with her, and made a nest. She laid two eggs and one hatched and thrived. It was a beautiful experience to watch this from my front porch. If I had ever filled that space in where the bell was missing I never would have experienced this divine interaction. I now have that wind chime tattooed on me, with nothing in the center. It is a constant reminder to always make space to be filled with love. Since the experience I have been so connected to Hummingbirds. I have since moved a couple times and they always find my feeders. My fiances mothers name is even Hummingbird. It is the divine spirit that we are all blessed to experience. We have so much to learn from mother nature. Love and light, Ari
Love this!!
Hi Tamara and Adorama,
What a wonderful idea for sharing the good that happens in our lives.
Just before Thanksgiving, while I was leaving home to go to work, I noticed a woman lying 1/2 in the street and 1/2 in the road. I stopped and asked the young man standing over her if he needed help. He asked, “Do you know CPR?” Seriously, you think it is the last thing anyone will ask you on any given day. But, this day, a neighborhood walker collapsed on the ground while out enjoying a beautiful day in our neighborhood.
So, sure, I had CPR ten years ago, and doubted myself, but got busy with what would be a long 10 minutes until anyone else arrived. Ten minutes of CPR never has a good prognosis. I got her pulse back twice, then I lost her at the very end.
When the paramedics finally arrived, I moved out of the way and crushed, I went on to work, late once again, sad. For days, I watched the newspaper’s death notices to see if I could find her name and more about her, but I saw nothing. Days later, someone left me this comment. ” Mary is my neighbor. She has walked your streets for 30 years and prays to each house to find some peace in their burdensome lives. She is alive today, surrounded by her family and 23 grandchildren. Even though the doctors during that first hour in the ER told the family, there was no way she would wake up as certainly she has brain damage. She is going home tomorrow to celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary. Thank you for saving her. She means to world to everyone”
The next week, at my door, was a knock and it was Mary. We met again and it was magical. I dont think I saved her so much as she saved me! She has been a silent neighborhood angel all these years, walking past our homes blessing us. Peace and Love to you all that I do not know. May you all find a Mary in your lives
Had a similar experience with a hummingbird. Our feral cat that we fed for 3 yrs but could neva get to come in, found her way to the bottom of out stairs,barely breathin, not movin and pupils dilated. At that point she was almost expired, wen I got up from bendin down to see her there was a hummingbird flyin just above her head . Neva eva seen 1 here before…..
Hummingbirds are representative of our loved ones reminding us they are still around watching over us??
By best fiend, my 11yr.old yellow Lab, passed away early this morning. As I was out by my fence on the phone discussing his cremation arrangements,I looked up to find a humming bird about 10 inches from my face. This little creature flew side to side right in my face for nearly half a minute. Some hours later minutes after my old pal was taken to the crematory I walked to my kitchen window and there again just above through spot I normally fed my pal,was the humming bird once again. He lingered for a moment,then flew away in the same direction as my pal when he left home a few minutes before.
Billy, I just wanted to let you know that I also had the same experience with the hummingbird. The only difference was that my Mom had passed away. Thanks for sharing your story! and I’m sure something spiritual or magical has to do with it.
Same for me. We used to sit on the patio and watch them feed. The day he passed away, 7 flew in at once. One of them flew infront of me and kept looking at me. I blurted out “hi Mowgli” and he flew away to eat. I just saw one today for the first time in a long time. I think he’s letting me know it’s gonna be ok:)
Is something bad or good going to happen
Yes.
I just recently moved to a new city with my boyfriend and in the early morning I had a hummingbird fly in front of me 3 days in a row. A little history- my grandma was absolutely in love with hummingbirds and decorated her while house with them in and outside. A few years ago my grandma passed away due to stage 4 cancer. She has a hummingbird on her headstone. I just wanna believe that these past occurrences was somehow her telling me it was alright that I moved…
I had a boyfriend who always said I was like a little hummingbird…and he disappeared from my life suddenly a few months ago.
The other day I was thinking about him and as this was happening I saw two hummingbirds, clearly a male and female, flew past me. I’d never seen one in person before.
A few days later I heard from him for the first time in 2 months. It was crazy, a sign he was thinking about me too.
Last night memory lane took me to my gran’s house. The establishment is still in tact and operating even though grandmom isn’t . To get to the point, I was greeted in the living room by a hummingbird.. I left the light on so it wouldn’t be frightened. I left this morning & I’m pretty sure the hummingbird can get out through one of the higher windows left open..
I was just visited by a hummingbird on my patio. She stayed for a millisecond and went away. The last time I was visited by one, I was on my deck at my old home that I shared with my husband and our 10 year old son. My husband died in 2009, we’ve moved and now I’m involved with a man for three years and we’re in love. He’s been feeling sick, and here she comes again. Please let this NOT be any kind of sign!
don’t be afraid. from what i’ve read, the hummingbird is a very positive sign, encouraging you to be light-hearted and enjoy your life … maybe because you’ve been too serious about your world in general, lately.
if your love is not feeling well, get pragmatic and figure it out and then resolve it. one thing i do know from experience is never to let a health issue slide … i have seriously battled back from more than one scare and eventually conquered, but time, patience, and knowledge, and follow-through
are essential. get strong and resolved and you will, too!
positive vibes to you and yours!
You seem like a tremendously good person. Whatever the case try the best you can to keep your energy level at a positive light- even if it’s a bit fake- this will provides others around you with a sense of optimism.
Is you’re partner doing better ?
Everyday same time 6-7 pm the same hummingbird comes to me while sitting outside on my front porch. I’ts like it’s saying am here again.
Every day around the same time I get a strange sensation in my stomach like butterflies but u work 3rd shift and today when I was feeling most down a hummingbird came to me at 8
June 27th 2013 was the day I married my husband. On that day during our wedding ceremony as my husband was saying his vows to me I saw multiple hummingbirds flying around behind him, I just figured it was a coincidence since it was September and we had an outdoor wedding. Later after the ceremony as we were talking about the ceremony with each other he told me that he saw multiple hummingbirds flying around behind me while I was saying my vows to him. I feel like it wasn’t a coincidence that we both saw these hummingbirds while we were getting married but I don’t exactly know what it means or what the significance of it is, can anyone help shed some light on this? The strange thing too was no one else saw these little hummingbirds I asked my mom dad brother and my husbands family but no one saw them but my husband and I. I feel like it was very special and everytime I see a hummingbird now I’m always with my husband I feel like it’s a good omen any thoughts? Thanks
