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.

I have had hummingbirds come to me several times and they hover by me for what seems like minutes and I have wondered what it meant.
I had the same thing yesterday am anxious to find out the results. I have flowers and bushes for the butterflies and hummingbirds. But this one came within 3 feet of me while I was sitting on my front porch. Stood there fluttering for about a minute then left. Wasn’t 5 minutes later here it come again. The same thing. Flew away never saw it anymore. I wonder what it means?
Just as I was falling asleep and thinking about other things a hummingbird rushed up to my face quickly and therefore started me awake. Does anybody have any ideas what this many mean? Thank you!
It was checking you out hoping you had some nectar to feed it :)
I was sitting on my front porch talking to my God and I asked him to show me a sign that everything’s going to be OK and I look up and out of nowhere here comes a hummingbird looks at me and then turns around and flies away it was such a beautiful blessing an answer from my God that I am going to be OK hummingbirds are beautiful as our God is good.
For the last two weeks, when I stop at a certain stop sign on my way to work, there has been a hummingbird staring back at me, right through my windshield. I move forward and he is still flying staring at me, then he takes off. Today, I didn’t see him at the stop sign, but when I turned the corner and finally got to my work parking lot, there he was, as if we were going to collide. He wasn’t going move, as my car kept moving he stated right in my view, I was afraid I was going to hurt him with my car, but nope, it was if he was saying good morning. then he flew off! I can’t wait to see if he is back tomorrow.
Thank you beautiful angel hummingbird.
Sorry for misspelled words my keyboard isis messing up. Great article!
This is Wonderful! I just saw a humming bird which rally brought my spirit up. I had been feeling depressed & having negative thoughts prior to going outside to sit on my bench. I must mention that I’m in the process of getting my relitive foster license so I can get my nephew whom I love but negative thoughts come up as far as how this is I’m going to make this happen and then I see a humming bird. I thought it was a coincidence & then three others came up then I new it was a sign so I Google it & read this GREAT article. Thank you so much! Much appreciated.Humming birds are little angels.
I was writing a blog post on rebirth, on forging a new life, with a new spiritual direction. As I looked up, there was a hummingbird hovering over the boxwood shrubs beneath our front window. I knew that had to be some kind of sign, as I was vaguely aware of what hummingbirds represented when they appeared. I Googled it, and of all the choices, I picked yours. Thank you so much for the extensive information.
This was EXACTLY what I needed to see! Not even 15 minutes ago, I had a hummingbird fly up to our 2nd story window of our 4 plex apts. and fly stationary (for only a second or two) He/she stared @ the dog and myself before whizzing away. WHY I see this as something more than ordinary is several months back I would get visits from an occasional honeybee/bumblebee; Since honeybees/bumblebees are slowly disappearing Worldwide, I started to “pick-up” the area where we live because there’s a ton of wildlife. I also saw a young buck strolling along the park, street and sidewalk this morning as I was taking my dog for a walk.
I get very disheartened @ the fact that humans pollute and USE so much more than their needs. Trash everywhere… :-( It hurts my heart, truly. I physically can not clean up these areas by myself: the job is too immense for a single person. Seeing the hummingbird lifted my spirit. I’ll continue to seek others who can aide in cleaning up efforts for our neighborhood.
I REALLY THINK and FEEL that if each one of us did our small daily part to keep our home areas, and environments clean and animal friendly @ the exact same time, we’d save thousands of species for our generations to come.
Thanks for the article!
