I receive a monthly new age newsletter and how neat they wrote of hummingbirds this month:) Is The Hummingbird Your Totem Animal? Sometimes an animal or a bird will mysteriously come into our life and begin to haunt our consciousness. The image of that animal becomes associated with our sense of who we are and where our values come from. Certain species in the Americas have done this in particulary powerful ways: These include the wolf, the raven, coyote, the jaguar, the quetzal, and the eagle. The hummingbird also is a common totem animal. Many people develop a mysterious bond with this tiny creature. In many traditional cultures of the western world the hummingbird has powerful religious and spiritual significance. In the high Andes of South America, for example, the hummingbird is taken to be a symbol of resurrection. This is because each hummer becomes lifeless and seems to die on cold nights, but it comes back to life again when the miraculous sunrise brings warmth.
In MEDICINE CARDS: THE DISCOVERY OF POWER THROUGH THE WAYS OF ANIMALS, Jamie Sams and David Carson say that, for many people, the hummingbird is the creature that opens the heart. When we assume hummingbird consciousness, our life becomes a wonderland of sensuous delights. We live for beauty, delighting in flowers, aromas, fine mist, and delicate tastes. When it becomes our totem, the hummingbird teaches us to laugh and enjoy the creation, to appreciate the magic of being alive, and the truth of beauty. Hummingbirds awaken us to the beauty of the present moment. As they dance the four quarters of embodied existence, they bring us medicine to solve the riddle of duality. They also awaken us to the medicinal properties of plants. In ANIMAL SPEAK, Ted Andrews says hummingbirds teach us how to draw the life essence from flowers. "They can teach us how to use flowers to heal and win hearts in love." Hummingbirds teach us fierce independence. They teach us to fight in a way where no one really gets hurt. They teach us simple courage. Andrews says the twittering, vibrating sounds of the hummingbirds bring us an internal massage that restores health and balance. Hummingbirds also inspire us to protect the environment and to preserve old traditions that are in danger of being lost. When Native American ways were being destroyed by the expanding Euro-American culture, the Ghost-Shirt religion was established to try to bring back the animals and old ways through dancing. The leader of the dance was a hummingbird. Certainly hummingbird magic is available to all who live in the New World. There is something inside the soul of all of us that wants to soar through sunbeams, then dance midair in a delicate mist, then take a simple bath on a leaf. There is something in our souls that wants to hover at beautiful moments in our lives, making them freeze in time. There is something in us that wants to fly backwards and savor once more the beautiful past. Some of us are just hummingbird people. There are different ways that a totem animal can be discovered: In Native American tradition they may make their appearance while one is on a vision quest. They also come in dreams, meditations, and shamanic spirit-journeys. Anglo-Americans and Europeans should remember that their prehistoric ancestors had animal guides and found them in much the same way Native Americans do.

Thank you for the comments on this topic:) and I agree with all of the above for sure... I think we manifest what we need also and what we need sometimes turns out to be exactly what we want! Somnium, I somewhat agree , but its like ordering life and the universe to give you your deepest desires, which if that is possible, than why arent we all living that life we all want?

I think that for me lately one of my most elaborate things I am able to do is wake myself up if I don't like how a "normal" dream is going..and that too me is awesome, also I have the innate ability to go back to a dream to see its outcome, If I am awoken suddenly from it. For myself its not the lucid dreams that necessarily play the key roles in my dreaming abilities now...its more of what I can alter through my waking states which in return alter my dreams..its just so neat and I am happy and truly pleased with the time and effort I put into them, it really has paid off in so many ways.

www.pandora.com/station/play/1902927988264070846Weird I am listening to Death Cab For Cutie The new year...pretty much the same thoughts you just wrote here. Good post and very true...I think from all my experiences I really have dealt with a lot of death in my life, but acceptance is the hardest part and has been for me, oddly today as my boyfriend left for work..I said to him there really is nothing to fear here even death and death is the most natural part of life..so really what is the point of fearing anything...?

Sounds good and I'll get that pretty picture for you too, I almost forgot about it! and btw my best friend since I was about five years old is a pisces...kinda funny:) Thats really cool you get to see such beauty on the coast, I am jealous lol! feel free to add me on face book or even skype, I use often as messenger and it does feel good to meet such cool folks that just seem to mirror your own self and experiences. Happy your here, and feel free to post up anything you feel comfortable with sharing here. Take your time and hope you decide this is a good place to trust in.:)But no rush, ya know I still go on many forums, mostly Tarot ones and recently bought my ticket into the Tarot association of the british Isles. I figured it would be good to get some professionals from the UK and see how they interpret things, so far its pretty cool. I always come back here though,...home and wish they would all come too..haha

I am looking to update the forum's look, I haven't done this in years so bare with me. I would like to know what colors you all would like to see here and therefore added a poll, so please voice your opinions. I love the green theme I have going on but its rather dark and outdated, so let me know what ya think! Thanks everyone! Oh or if you have a theme in mind too that would be cool for Other worlds, feel free to let me know.

Hi Guys Just wanna say THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE! It puts a song in my heart and a smile on my face!!! I'm very excited and have an overwhelming feeling of goodness here, and that all my hard work in this forum has not been in vain after all, which I know it hasn't but, at times I wondered...... I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this forum going to everyone, I think this forum is going to do very well and as it grows I will be looking for more moderators as it is I'm have trouble keeping up with posts, I try to read them all but I know I miss some here and there and I apologize, I have so many projects going on, my book and my blog are two majors. Sooooo on that note I wanted to let ya guys know if I don't reply to your posts for a bit, I will get to it sooner or later:) Keep posting, as I noticed every new post on google gets spidered and more and more links for this forum are showing up on all the browsers/search engines. One thing I do is always search the url manually by typing it in the browser it really helps all the bots out there come to this site more, and I use multiple devices to do this from so the search engines think Im a new person/ISP/IP which a lot of times I am because now a days we have internet provider that rotates your IP randomly. Anyways lol! Sorry If I lost ya, it just helps to put in the url from many different browsers/search engines, I use them ALL! I really want this forum to do awesome, it just has way to much greatness not to, and so much help and people. I am working on marketing/advertising this site as well, thats another major thing that takes up my time these days, I'm trying!!! lol I have to have patience , its hard sometimes, but you guys really help with that.

Thats so cool! Oregon must have been cool to see, always wanted to go there myself. and of course you got to see a hummingbird:) They are really cool looking lil birds. thank you, and happy we are all on the same page here with our beliefs and things:) and that sounds pretty fun, whatever you'd like to start feel free to post it up anytime ya like:) I can do some advertising for anything really that would help, even just basic medium work/studies would be something great to start. Interesting, I got goosebumps reading that lol! Its hard to say sometimes whether these things are real at such a young age, I think having such a great memory at that age is pretty phenonomal for sure though. I agree with doing readings for those that demand certain answers and such, that is why I only work with certain people and its very important I think to make it known what type of people and questions you do readings for. Also I feel you on the confidence thing, it took me a long time to build up enough to do readings for strangers with The Tarot, but as I went along I had a lot of fun and told my clients to bare with me as I'm just starting out with people I don't know, and the feedback was very positive. I did couple readings for a bit and I absolutely loved it! It was so much fun! I think that also it is good to put things off and take a break, I did for a while there and I ended up going back to it full force and with a lot more passion for it and confidence. If this is something you were meant to do, it will come back to you. Very cool what you said here, honestly I believe we are multidimensional beings therefore we have many "selves" and I think well the more I really think about all my OBE experiences with feeling other beings and things, I think they were myself. Crazy! but very possible. and I'd love to hear about your past life stories for sure:) I think you coming here is a wonderful thing for you, because we have much in common and the confidence thing I struggled with for years.... shoot I still do! lol but for me its easier face to face than through the net or phone, I did phone work for a while and it was okay but I felt we both were cheated of what could have been made a great deeper connection ya know. I know what you mean about it always being "on" I am the same way, I think it helps my judgement when I really need it, which is ALL THE DAMN TIME LOL, I feel like its very important to be aware of everything around you at all times, cus ya never know these days, so Im always watching my back and front the best I can. I think maybe having a journal will help you, just jotting down your daily impressions as you've done already so I think you are already on it and ready to take on this part of yourself! feel free to message me anytime you just want to vent to someone w/o posting anything, or just to chat:)

I get along with them all for I am earth hear me rumble and shake and create...lol....Taurus with libra rising and moon, I am very well balanced because I have both logic and practical ways among me lol..I think most signs are genuine of course , but I have simplified them also...take virgo...needs to be needed, or Gemini I can not part with myself but cant find that part anywhere I looked everywhere...and aries god my ego sure does shine, or even myslf, Taurus the bull, I am what I have. but its not true for a lot of those signs. And don't forget water signs... I'll go with cancer Im trying mom, Im so sorry to let you down. lmao...

Post by ~¤LilacSky¤~ on Jun 26, 2015 20:06:55 GMT -5
That's very kind of you to say celticnoodle! Thank you! I do agree about this site, it does have many things to offer and I am just so excited to see how it does in the coming months, I have such a great feeling about it, I really do and one day I was working on one of my tarot sites I don't recall which one , but I was hit with a ton of bricks outa no where that my inner self suggested working on this site first, and my reaction was "Duh, I put so much time and energy into this place and all the great people and knowledge here"! So yes I am happy to be really working hard to get this site back to where it once was a unique and kind place people could call home or one of them:) I never really gave up on this site but had many other things going on through out my life and also needed a stable for some of the things I offer online but again I realized this site has it all, I get excellent support from the people who run these boards and I decided to make it a official url instead of using the old one. I took a chance on this but I think its gonna be worth it in the end. originally this forum was derived with three people from a out of body experience site that got hacked years ago, but I like what I have done with it and added a lot of things over the years, because It does represent who I am in many ways, also I like learning about new things, which brings me to let you know you are welcome to send me suggestions or post them if you like as well...I am very open to new things , I was thinking of a medium board to add...since for some reason it has really been making a known place in my life in the last month. So welcome again and I hope ya feel at home here:) and feel free to post whatever you like...I really don't care , I am just as interested in some topics as everyone else here. I try my best to keep up with everyone's posts and comment on them all..but I get very busy sometimes , it happens

Hi there Hummingbird!!!Big Welcome here! I love the name and the bird! I happen to have a gorgeous picture on my phone of a close up of one and they are just too dang pretty for words, Ill have to upload it for ya and you can use it if you like. Reminds me of my mom and all her hummingbird feeders she would have around her house in UP of Michigan, so cool. very cool what you do and I am very interested in medium work, my older sister Sara which is about 14 years older than myself taught me how to really follow my psychic work and actually all of my family are very open minded folks that just keep giving me encouragement and have since I began reading Tarot years ago. My older sis is a nurse and has been taking care of people since a very young age and is now a LPN and has been for years, honestly without her guidance and belief in these things I probably would not have went after learning my psychic ability as much as I did. I would like to here your story of how you became a medium and also your stories of what you have experienced as well. I never saw myself as a medium but the more I think about it, perhaps we all are and can be just as we all are psychic as well. One thing I do want to note here is that I met a medium just a few weeks ago and now Ya'll seem to be coming out of the woodworks and everything else around me lol (internet worm holes) haha It is very fascinating to me and look forward to learning more and hearing more! Thanks again for joining up, it sounds we have much in common and looking forward to sharing these with you!
