What teachings does Hummingbird have for us? How can Hummingbird help us to open our hearts, see things in a different way, and release the past in a lighthearted compassionate way?
Hummingbirds are migrating birds that travel long distances. Can fly 18-20 hours straight to cross the Gulf of Mexico. They can travel at speeds of 30 mph with their wings flapping up to 200 times per second and are considered the fastest of all birds.
Their wings move in a figure 8 pattern. The figure 8 pattern also makes an infinity symbol. Donna Eden energy medicine figure 8 = in aura moves into your DNA. It helps the energy cross over from the left hemisphere of the brain to the right side of the body and from the right hemisphere of the brain to the left side of the body. Figure 8’s protects personal space which is important if you are a sensitive person. Helps you to articulate words, increases alertness, and helps learning. Infuses aura with joyful energy. Said to replenish the immune system, creates more vibrant and balanced energy, and connects all layers of our body’s energy systems (chakras, meridians, etc.)
When hummingbirds pull up from dives they experience 10 times force of gravity or 10 g’s.
They are very territorial which reminds us to protect our boundaries.
They can see ultra violet light, while we cannot. This reminds us that there is much that exists outside of our limited human perception.
They have a third set of eyelids to protect their eyes when flying at high speeds.
Largest heart per body size than all other animals. (carry big-hearted energy)
They also have the largest brain per body size of all birds. This is useful for them because they remember the location of every flower in their territory and how long it takes for the nectar to refill again. They can also recognize the humans that fill their feeders.
