In the animal kingdoms the hummingbird is the totem of Joy. Whenever a hummingbird comes close to me and I hear its sound and feel its vibration, I do feel Joy. Its colors are so alive, radiant and glistening; so vibrant. Hummingbirds can fly backwards, forwards and straight up so quickly that their flash of color seems to clear away any old, stagnant energy in the air. It’s easy to see why they are the totem of Joy.
Sananda has told me often that if I am feeling Joyful I’m doing my purpose.
Joy contains love, peace, happiness, fun, humor, laughs, creativity, inspiration and is a frequency that strengthens you. Such a small word with a huge impact on our lives.
The thing about Joy it is a gift from Divine Love that is a part of us and always available. It is our presence in the stillness. Joy will bubble up from our beingness when given a chance.
When I first learned to channel higher frequency guides, one of the first questions we would ask of our guides was, “Is it possible to live with Real Joy?” (Opening to Channel, by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer). The guides had many thoughts for us that would help us live with Joy. Because that was a question that always got strong response from our guides, Joy was given an important role in our Spiritual growth and Life Choices. So much so that Sanaya channeled her first book from her guide, Orin, teaching about Joy; Living with Joy by Sanaya Roman.
Take Joy breaks in your day. Joy uplifts, and from that place your creativity will flow.
Some Joy thoughts from the book, Joy, written and compiled by M.H. Clark:
Prepare for Joy and believe in Joy.
“These are the days of miracle and wonder.” Paul Simon
“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” Marianne Williamson
“I thank you God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes.” E.E. Cummings.
So today, savor Joy.
Below, I included one of my favorite pieces of music, Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” It’s even better because it’s a flash mob in a shopping mall in Japan. I never tire of hearing it.
I hope I have given you Joy today.
“The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.” John Greenleaf Whittier

Yes, yes, yes Let’s have a smiley face kind of day! As Elf says in the movie, “Smiling is my favorite.” Thank you, Nina. Love+++++++
There’s a hummingbird feeder outside our dining room window. You are so right, hummers are joy-keepers. Now and then one hovers outside the window looking in at us. They are magical. I love this: “I thank you God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes.” E.E. Cummings.Thank you for a beautiful post, dear NinaHeart.

Dearest Nina…indeed you are fulfilling your purpose of being Joy as that is what I think of when I think of you. Your beaming smile and being dialed into the high road …breathing in and alchemically transforming denser frequencies into ones full of light, truth and love. This came at the perfect time…a beautiful reminder of truth. Thank you for sharing this. I love the line, “PREPARE for joy and believe in Joy.” Also the Ode to Joy in the Japanese mall gave me shivers from head to toe for minutes! THANK YOU! I love you Beautiful Soul! ❤ ❤ ❤
Dear Dela, Thank you. That happened to me too.. I had shivers for moments after I heard the music in the mall. I have watched and listened to that video several times and each time it brings me joy. I’m very happy the timing was right for you. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I feel the very same way about you. Love, Nina
