My First Hummingbird Says Hello !
Never-the-less they have been blooming for a month now. I kept wondering if the Hummingbirds would ever find them each time I looked at the flowers.
Well this morning while making pancakes with my daughter I caught one from the corner of my eye flitting around the flower. I yelled so loud in excitement I scared the poor thing. Please come back I prayed. Got my flip ready and continued to make breakfast. Then she returned. Here is what we captured. At one point she hovered at the window and looked at all of us looking at her.
It will be a Breakfast that we won’t forget when we were all graced by the presence of our first Hummingbird. Now when I wash the dishes the hope that I might get a visit makes the task enjoyable instead of a chore.
I looked up the symbolic meaning for the Hummingbird. Because just after she arrived we had a very important phone call that would provide a long a waited blessing for our finances.
Hummingbirds are native to the mountains of South America, early Spanish explorers gave the hummingbirds the name Joyas voladoras,which means “flying jewel”. Hummingbird as an Animal Totem:
- Has the Ability to heal by using light as a laser from it’s mouth
- Has Endurance for long journeys
- Has the Ability to fly into small places to heal
- Brings Joy
- Brings Happiness
- And brings Love
Pure Love and Joy, Celebration of Life, Beauty, Wonder, Agility, Messenger, stopper of time. It represents optimism and sweetness. Being able to roll with the punches is an attribute of Hummingbird.
Hummingbirds are able to hover, fly backwards, and stop in a instant. In slow motion the hovering wing movement turns in the pattern of the infinity symbol.
I can attest that just seeing this amazing little creation…made me smile, filled my heart with joy and wonder.
Thank you little Flying Jewel……

Seeing is Believing…..or is it?
Watch as Erik Weihenmayer experiments with the Brainport Vision Device, a revolutionary new technology enabling a blind person to see with his tongue. Mounted on Weihenmayers head is a small video camera which translates visual information to a credit card-size tongue display. Four-hundred tiny pixels present electrical patterns on his tongue, which Weihenmayers brain then interprets as a visual picture in three-dimensional space. Watch as he uses the device to read words and numbers on note cards, to play tic-tac-toe and stone-paper-scissors with his daughter, and to rock climb.

I find this video amazing. We have all used the expression “I will believe it when I see it”. *Paul Bach-y-Rita an American neuroscientist, a man that I believe applied his intuition and heart more than his intellect to what can be possible. He believed it BEFORE he saw it and as a result of his research and work developed a technology called the Brain port visual device. This device allows a blind person to access the portion of his brain that interprets sight through their tongue. Not surprising his idea was first rejected. However for many, many years he kept on believing, researching, developing this device before seeing. Now others See and Believe. This is exciting to me not only for the lives it has dramatically changed and will change but how our brain is so remarkable.
Can we believe before we need to see what can be possible. Not just thru science and medicine, but through the Spirit. If a neuroscientist had the faith, intuition and insight to believe a man with no eyes could see, why is it any less possible that we can see with our spiritual eyes the possibilities before they become manifest as reality. There are places in each of our brains that when stimulated allow us just like this blind man to move in faith and get glimpses of a realm all around us. Psychics, intuitives, the Masters tell us it is there. We feel it is there, not unlike the blind feel the things and people around them…we just don’t see it or hear it……….Yet !…. We are moving into a time in our history that what humanity has typically thought impossible is possible. Less than 50 years ago men walked on the moon.
Considering this and after watching the video’s, I ask you to entertain today the possibilities for your life. To open your thoughts and mind to the place of inspiration and guidance that can and will move you along to a clearer path of in-SIGHT. Today the images seen by the blind man may be fuzzy, not unlike our spiritual sight. The images for the blind will improve and become crystal clear no doubt as the technology becomes more advanced. Keep in mind the brain does not need to be improved just the devices and technology. Our vision as well will also become clearer by our willingness, awareness, belief and open mindedness to tap into the brains amazing functions, just like a device that lets a blind man see through his tongue. Imagine being able to see clearly the endless possibilities, choices, and opportunities for our life. We too can and must learn how to harness and utilize the vast ability of our brain. To utilize this amazing instrument Our Brain to translate in the here and now what we intuitively know is there. By connecting with our heart, mind, and soul. The Brain Portal Device uses saliva as a conduit to send the information thru impulses on the tongue.
Faith in our ability is the conduit to our ability to see clearly the possibilities, opportunities, and abounding love that surrounds us. If we can thru faith and belief connect into our brains what visions and images might we behold. As this device proves sight is not in the Physcial eye of the beholder. True sight is in the brain and mind of the beholder. Who knows one day there may be a device that activates effortlessly the brain center that allows us to easily see with our spiritual eyes what eludes us and goes undetected. Wouldn’t that be something…after seeing a blind man see with his tongue I don’t doubt it.
Most likely there are many that won’t Believe until they see. I encourage those that want to entertain the possibilities and until science catches up….like Paul Bach-y-Rita “Believe before you see”………………………….. and watch your blessings come into focus.
Namaste………..The Spirit of God in me can SEE the Spirit of God in You…………..Katrina
* Paul Bach-y-Rita was an American neuroscientist, whose most notable work was in the field of neuroplasticity. Bach-y-Rita was one of the first to seriously study the idea of neuroplasticity (although it was first proposed in the late 19th century), and to introduce sensory substitution as a tool to treat patients suffering from neurological disorders…..From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perspective
What’s your perspective on your Life today?
Do you wake up in the morning embracing the day?
When you open your eyes do you react to whats going on with a knot in your stomach letting your circumstances dictate how you are going to feel and be throughout your day?
Even though there may be things that happen in your day that are beyond your control, one thing that you always have control over is your attitude.
Sometimes it can be so easy to let our responsibilities and the pressures of life overwhelm our thoughts in a fearful direction. But Fear Based thinking only bogs us down and steals our joy and enthusiasm.
Fearful thinking makes the small stuff seem so much larger until we are living in constant worry and frustration.
When Fear over takes our thinking gratitude goes out the door. We stop appreciating our friends and family; we start believing our boss has something against us, and we begin to wonder if the entire world is out to get us. If that’s how you feel today, take heart—your life can be different!
There is a remedy to taking off what feels like a blanket of fear which weighs so heavy off your back. This is completely counter intuitive to our natural reptilian brain but to the soul it is good medicine. Faith is the opposite of Fear that is a Divine Code.
You can choose to have faith that a solution is always there. How do we do that when the fear or frustration is so palatable ?
The Remedy for you today is simple it is practicing thanksgiving. Gratefulness. You can’t just think it you have to speak it. When you feel the most fearful about your circumstances. Choose to become aware of the many blessings you already have and to also be aware of the provision yet to come as it always has.
Speak while you look in the mirror, while you pour your coffee…walk you kids to the bus…drive to work…….enter the presence of Divine peace and power by opening up your mouth and just start saying Thank You……..and then start naming what you can be thankful for. Keep thanking until you feel your spirit swell with promise and then keep going beyond until you vibrate with the faith that everything will be alright and that you are loved and cared for.
Now……..go about your day and open your eyes and ears to all the opportunities that will be made known to you that were always there but you were so busy being fearful you walked right past everyday. Try this practice over the next week and let me know what happens…..good, bad, or indifferent.
Renew your mind Renew your life !
