    We propose a new approach to the theory of normal forms for Hamiltonian systems near a nonresonant elliptic singular point. We consider the space of all Hamiltonian functions with such an equilibrium position at the origin and construct a differential equation in this space. Solutions of this equation move Hamiltonian functions towards their normal forms. Shifts along the flow of this equation correspond to canonical coordinate changes. So, we have a continuous normalization procedure. The formal aspect of the theory presents no difficulties. As usual, the analytic aspect and the problems of convergence of series are nontrivial.
