Hummingbird Meanings

Here are a few clues that let you know if the hummingbird is your totem or spirit guide:
1. You are high energy. You rarely sit still, and appreciate activity that leads to results that benefit your community, family or the world.
2. You’re mindful of your resources. You don’t tolerate waste well – that includes wasted time.
3. You can be incredibly sensitive and intuitive.
4. You socialize well, and get along with almost everyone. However, you prefer quiet moments. You likely enjoy working by yourself too.
5. You like your independence, and don’t mind traveling or taking on new adventures by yourself.
6. The environment, conservation, and preserving nature is important to you.
7. Others marvel at your ability to get tons done effectively and within (often under) a budget. In fact, when a big project needs to go off without a hitch, and done exceedingly well, you’re often the go-to person for the job.
8. Attention to detail is one of your greatest assets.
9. You appreciate order, but you also appreciate many aspects of chaos found in nature and the world.
10. You have strong opinions of your own, but you respect and value the viewpoints of others.

It’s an auspicious sign. It indicates that it’s time to reflect upon things you are grateful for. It’s also a sign to stop procrastinating and start getting busy on whatever you’ve been putting off in your life. Very often a hummingbird visitation might be a message from a loved one who has passed on. Remember too, that hummingbirds are all about spreading life (they are natural pollinators in nature). Therefore, when a hummingbird visits you, it might be a prompt to go out and spread your light, love, gifts, and joy to the world.

As mentioned, hummingbirds are symbolic of life, energy, joy, survival and resourcefulness. Spiritually speaking, the hummingbird asks us to attend to matters of the soul. They encourage us to cultivate our spirit either through prayer, meditation, study, or contemplation.

If you are dreaming of hummingbirds, it’s going to mean something different to you than anyone else. However, some general interpretations of hummingbird dreams include:
1. It might be a message to move from one phase of life to another. This could be a physical move, or moving into a new emotional or spiritual move.
2. Hummingbirds in dreams often indicate it’s time to seek out more magic and inspiration in your life. This is particularly true if you’re having hummingbird dreams during a dull, stagnant time in your life.
3. A hummingbird dream might also be an encouragement to find joy and creativity in your work. This is especially on-point if you’ve been working way too much. Dreaming of hummingbirds reminds us that while work is a necessity, it doesn’t have to be drudgery.

It’s very likely. In many myths and cultures, the hummingbird is believed to be a messenger of spirits that have passed into non-physical. There are tons of reports from people reporting that they have sighted hummingbirds shortly after a loved one passes away. If this is happening to you, ask. Ask your loved one in the spirit realm and even ask the essence of the hummingbird if it is visiting you on behalf of someone you’ve lost in your life. You’ll be surprised that a) You’ll get an answer and b) what the answer is.
