“Dream of the Hummingbird”

Intention:

As the day becomes night, the hummingbird enters torpor, a sleep state akin to hibernation. Its heart lulls into a quiet that enables it to refuel itself for the coming day. I began creating this ritual with a question: If a hummingbird could dream within this deep sleep, what encounters would unfold?

The hummingbird is a symbol of vitality and life animated by Spirit. It nourishes itself by savoring sweetness, cultivating and nurturing the ecosystem it inhabits in the process. We can learn so much about life’s rhythms from this modest creature; how to embrace the bittersweetness of being human, how to nurture ourselves through rest, and how to release the confines of time by encouraging harmony with life’s seasons.

Affirmation:

I honor the change within me, That which is both seen and unseen. I welcome it’s mysterious ways, And I will move through the unknown with love.
