I was sitting on my porch Sunday, just enjoying the beautiful sunshine, and there were 4 hummingbirds that kept coming in pairs to dart and weave around each other and the feeder, eat, and then buzz away in the direction 
they came from. One pair had the brightly iridescent feathers and the ruby throat. The other pair were VERY tiny and mostly shades of brown.
I saw a picture once, of a woman with sugar water in a red plastic bottle cap and there were hummingbirds eating right out of her hand. I always thought that was really neat and knowing that I had some bottle caps, I went to retrieve a red one.
I stood with my face a mere 10 inches from that hummingbird feeder and held my bottle cap up near where the other feeder holes were, trying to sort of “blend in” which in retrospect is really stupid. LOL!
They kept coming down near me and buzzing around as though investigating and then off they’d go. None of the 4 wanted to eat from the cap OR the feeder as I stood there.
That got me thinking about my vibration.
I know my dog senses how I feel and what I want from my energy, so of course these birds would too. I took a couple deep breaths and loosened up a bit. They came back, made their rotation and off they went again.
Hmmmm….
Still no feeding. I did an quick inner body scan to look for tension. There’s something about ME that’s keeping them at bay.
I don’t need to make them come, I need to ALLOW them to come. I need to create an environment pleasing to them and allow them to be attracted to it.
Then I thought of Ho’opono’pono (?) and as I stood there consciously relaxing my body, I started to repeat in my mind “I’m sorry, I love you, Please forgive me, Thank you” and I smiled a big warm happy smile.
After about 30 seconds, the red throated pair came down and dodged and weaved around each other, chirping and twittering and both landed right on the feeder, 10 inches in front of my face. I watched, transfixed, as they slid their long beaks down into the fake flower chute and then withdrew flicking their tiny tongues in and out of their beak tips, licking off the excess sweetness.
Off they flew and seconds later, with the chant still repeating in my mind, the other pair came down and both landed on the exact same flowers, RIGHT in front of my face. Not on the other side, away from me where they might feel safer. RIGHT in front of me where I could snatch them right out of the air.
They no longer seemed bothered by me in the least bit.
I ended up putting my bottle cap down and just stood there, nearly touching the feeder and allowed them to buzz around me. At one point, I was afraid they’re run into me the way they scoot around as though riding an invisible wave. I had to force myself to stand still.
Then they flew away. When they came back, they buzzed around me as though investigating again, and then flew off.
“Why aren’t they playing and eating anymore?” I wondered.
Then I realized, it was my thoughts of fear at being hit by one of them.
I stood there and thought about it a moment. The only thing I’ve ever seen a hummingbird run into is a window, and I KNOW that’s because they see through it and don’t realize it’s there. They don’t run into trees or bushes or whatever. They know what their doing. Nature knows what it’s doing. Their dance is perfectly choreographed and will automatically adapt to my being included.
And with that, I took a deep breath and relaxed and allowed them to come back and allowed them to do their dance for me without anymore interference from me or my energy.
They were so beautiful. So graceful. Stunning!
I found that I was really enjoying the way I felt as I stood there totally in awe at the splendor of life and purposefully and consciously “Allowing” it to take place before my eyes. It really put me in the flow.
SO!
Consciously creating your life is like letting hummingbirds buzz around your head.
There are some near misses. And the nearer the miss, the more exciting it is because it’ll always BE a near miss. You’ll always be okay. It’ll always work out right because it’s a perfectly choreographed dance and will automatically adapt to you being included.
Nature knows what it’s doing. God knows what it’s doing. Take a deep breath, relax yourself, plaster a BIG smile on your face, find something stunning to look at and ALLOW life to unfold for you.
