Further Exploration into Hummingbird Medicine:
It’s time to examine the true nature of joy and how you’re using it. In this particular situation, Hummingbird appears out of nowhere to ask you two simple questions:
“What are you finding joy in? and Is it life-affirming?”
You can take joy in many different things – the soft touch of a baby’s skin or a rough roller coaster ride. One is not better than the other and enjoying one does not preclude enjoyment of the other. It’s a matter of choice.
Your heart could be asking you to let go of the need for “perfection,” or having there be “only one right way.” What if you could lighten up and instead go for joy and follow it to its heights?
Hummingbird could also be calling your attention to how easily joy can become twisted. Reconsider what you find joy in. Some people create competitive situations in their lives because they enjoy improving their performance. Some enjoy being right, solving problems and appearing intelligent, yet in order to have these experiences, someone else has to be wrong, or the situation has to be filled with problems and ignorance. Notice how people who love to complain seek out things to complain about. Look deeply into Hummingbird’s Circle and ask, “How might I be creating unhappiness for myself? Is this what I really want? Am I willing to let it go?”
Some people actually enjoy having problems because they enjoy getting the attention. Could you be indulging in this inadvertently? If you are, it might be useful to notice how this temptation sucks the joy out of everything around you. You can choose to focus your joy differently.
Sometimes, we humans turn things that could be joyful into conflicts because we over-complicate them. Following a path of pure joy is also a path of simplicity. Hummingbird says, “Keep it simple.” Gaze at her Circle once more and ask your Soul: “Am I over complicating this?” If you are, how can you simplify and make it joyful again?
