Hummingbirds bring joy.

May 2018

“Hummingbirds have knowledge of how to use flowers for healing. This includes their fragrance, color, and herbal qualities as well. They can teach you how to draw the life essence from them and create your own medicines - as in the case of Bach flower remedies and other flower elixirs. They can teach you how to use flowers to heal and win hearts in love.”

My daughter brought me this wounded hummingbird today. She plucked it out of my cat’s mouth. He’s still alive and I’ve been watching him slowly die. I gave him some reiki and he perked up for a while and there was a flicker of hope only to then see him fall back into an altered state. For the kids I made it into a lesson on hummingbirds, but for me I felt this sensation in my heart. I nestled the bird in my heart space and tried to just listen. The above quote feels right for me, a blessing for the flower essences I make.

A reminder to be joyful and lighter along the journey, how fragile life really is, and how we are all so interconnected in everything we do and experience. This little heart beating along with mine. I wish I could save him but am grateful for the time I got to spend in awe examining this sweet sweet being and sharing with my kids the importance of this bird.
