Welcome to this soul journey,
Blessings of the Hummingbird.
Today you're invited into a sacred space,
Into this shamanic soul journey,
Guided by the gentle,
Luminous spirit of the Hummingbird.
This is a meditation of lightness,
Of presence,
Of remembering sweetness,
Even in a fast-moving world.
There is nothing you need to do,
Nothing to fix,
Nothing to figure out.
Simply allow yourself to arrive,
Take a moment to settle into your body,
Finding a position that feels natural,
Supported and at ease.
Let the ground beneath you hold your weight,
Let gravity do the work.
You are safe to soften here.
Let's begin with a slow breath in through the nose,
Drawing the breath gently into your chest,
Into your heart space,
And release it slowly through your mouth,
As if sighing away the day.
Again,
A smooth,
Unhurried inhale through your nose,
And a long,
Easy exhale,
Allowing the nervous system to settle.
Let your body now breathe these slow,
Deep breaths.
Imagine a subtle shift taking place,
As though you are stepping out of ordinary time and into a sacred space,
A space between worlds.
I am going to call in the directions and spirit allies now,
To the east,
The place of new beginnings,
Fresh perspectives and awakening.
To the south,
The place of the inner child,
Joy and emotional flow.
To the west,
The place of release,
Healing and deep transformation.
To the north,
The place of wisdom,
Grounding and ancient knowing.
I call in the four directions,
Calling in spirit allies,
All loving spirit allies and guardians are present now,
Holding you in gentle protection.
Calling in the hummingbird,
The spirit of the hummingbird hovers near,
Surrounding you with lightness,
Calm and care.
Take a deep breath in now,
And a slow exhale out.
Feel yourself held within this circle.
Above you,
The sky,
The cosmos,
The unseen realms of guidance.
Below you,
The earth,
Steady,
Nurturing,
Alive.
Within you,
Your shamanic soul,
Ancient,
Intuitive,
Remembering.
Now from the edge of this sacred space,
You begin to sense a movement,
A shimmer,
A flicker of light,
A soft humming sound,
Delicate yet powerful.
The hummingbird approaches.
Notice its radiant colors,
Iridescent greens,
Flashes of gold,
Hints of ruby and violet as the light touches its wings.
Its wings move so quickly,
They blur into stillness,
Effortless,
Precise.
This is the spirit of joy that knows endurance,
The light beginning that knows long journeys.
Feel the hummingbird hover near your heart space,
Not landing,
Just present,
Witnessing you.
Receive the first blessing,
Joy and sweetness.
As the hummingbird hovers,
You feel a gentle warmth spreading through your chest.
This is the first blessing,
The blessing of sweetness,
A reminder that joy does not need to be earned,
That sweetness exists even now.
Allow your memories of simple pleasures arise,
A moment of beauty,
Laughter with friends,
Peace,
Ease,
Presence in this moment.
Let them all soften your body,
Let them nourish you.
The hummingbird teaches,
Life is not only survived,
It is tasted.
Receive the second blessing now,
Resilience and strength.
Notice how small the hummingbirds wings are,
Yet they are capable of crossing vast distances.
This is the second blessing,
The blessing of resilience.
Feel this strength entering your body,
Not as tension,
But quiet endurance,
A knowing that you have already traveled so far,
A knowing that you have survived more than you realize.
The knowing that your strength does not need to be loud to be real.
Let this blessing anchor into your spine,
Your legs and your foundation.
Receiving the third blessing now,
Presence and stillness.
The hummingbird now becomes almost completely still,
Hovering,
Balanced,
Yet aware.
This is the third blessing,
The blessing of presence.
Feel time slow,
Feel the mind soften its grip.
Right here,
Nothing else is required of you.
The hummingbird teaches us,
Stillness is not stopping,
Stillness is arriving.
Let this stillness wash through your thoughts,
Your breath,
Your being.
Ready to receive the fourth blessing,
Adaptability and grace.
Notice how the hummingbird can move in all directions,
Forward,
Backwards,
Sideways,
Up and down.
This is the fourth blessing,
The blessing of adaptability.
Feel rigidity within you begin to dissolve now.
Feel flexibility returning in.
You do not need to push against life,
You are allowed to move with it.
Let this grace settle into your shoulders,
Your hips,
Your sense of flow and ease.
Ready to receive the fifth blessing,
Heart medicine.
Feel the blessing within as the hummingbird now gently touches its beak against your heart space.
Not piercing,
Not forceful,
Just a soft point of connection.
If it feels right for you,
Perhaps you could gently tap one finger on your heart space.
This is the fifth blessing,
The blessing of heart medicine.
Love without heaviness,
Care without depletion,
Compassion without self-abandonment.
Feel your heart begin to glow.
Light,
Open,
Alive.
As we now go through integration,
Imagine the hummingbird dissolving into light and that light flowing into you,
Flowing into your heart,
Into your breath,
Into your cells,
Into your energy field.
You are not separate from this medicine.
You carry it now.
That's right.
You carry joy.
You carry resilience.
You carry presence.
You carry grace.
You carry it all in your heart.
Let your body absorb this fully.
As this sacred space gently begins to soften,
Feel the earth beneath you again,
The room around you,
The steady rhythm of your breath.
Know that the hummingbird flies beside you now as a guide,
As a reminder,
As a quiet ally within.
Whenever life feels heavy,
Remember its wings.
Whenever the world moves too fast,
Remember its stillness.
Whenever you forget sweetness,
Remember the nectar.
Take one final gentle breath in and release it slowly.
Gently,
When you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Carry this medicine with you into the rest of your day,
Your week,
Your life.
Blessings to you,
Dear soul,
On your journey here on earth.
Namaste.
