The Hummingbird and Plum Blossom

In Native American culture, a hummingbird symbolizes the Nectar of Life, a symbol for accomplishing the impossible and will teach you to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances. Hummingbirds have much to teach us about self-discovery and healing awakening us to the beauty of the present moment. They also offer us a connectivity between the spiritual plane and our worldly experiences. There is something inside the soul of all of us that wants to soar through sunbeams, and then dance midair in a delicate mist.

The plum blossom is a distinctive and unique flower because it blooms in the dead of winter, while there is still snow on the branches of the parent tree. The plum blossom is a metaphor for strength, resilience, and the ability to overcome adversity. It calls us forth to find the beauty and gift in the barren winter times of our life.

I invite you to contemplate and meditate on what the symbols of the hummingbird and plum blossom mean to you and your life, how they speak to you, particularly on where you are now and what your desires, goals and visions are for your life.
