Expression of Emotional Meaning in Animals

What is a chakra, and what does it do to our animals?

Chakras are energy centers responsible for the flow of energy in the body. Their primary function is to exchange the energy or information of the environment with the energy or information of the organism, ensuring that the aura is correctly cared for. In this way, balance is maintained in the body.

Although we represent the drawings in a circular form, they are like funnels that allow information to enter and exit. If they are out of balance or blocked, this energy does not flow properly, and depending on the chakra affected, it will cause the body one type of problem or another.

Each of the seven main chakras (yes, there are many more, up to 88,000, say some ancient writings, but many times we focus on seven chakras and a few more on our four-legged friends) is responsible for an area of the body, including the organs and glands in that area, as well as the emotions related to that chakra.

Our companions lose energy through the chakras when facing emotional or physical suffering.

Each chakra is a nerve center of a particular body area or emotional development. Balanced chakra functioning is synonymous with health. The blockage or imbalance in any of them is synonymous with a physical or emotional problem.

Luckily, many gentle techniques help restore the balance of the chakras and bring our companions health and/or quality of life when we use them, in addition to the treatment they receive if they are sick animals.

Techniques that balance your dog's or cat's energy system: 

Here you have information about each of the methods that I usually use when I want to balance a chakra/s or look for the balance of the energy system to help the animal get out of the emotional and/or physical problem in which it is:

• Bach Flowers

• Tuning Forks

•  EFT (Tapping)

• Acupuncture

• Reiky

• Use of the pendulum in therapy on the animal

There are many more, such as gem therapy and chromotherapy! Vibrational medicine is as broad as the field of information that the mind handles.

Every day, there are more advances in supporting health by balancing the energy system. So it's an incomprehensible subject, which both the students of Bach Flowers and those of the other courses know I love. Using the appropriate technique, the veterinarian or therapist will help the animal recover, combining any of these techniques with any of the classic tools of veterinary medicine, if necessary. All support for homeostasis is health support.

 All the ones I have listed are tools compatible with allopathy ( modern medicine).

In the energy system of dogs and cats, we look at the following energy centers:

 There are seven main chakras, which correspond to the ones you may already know about the human being. There are also 21 minor chakras. As a link between the subtle body and the physical body of our quadrupedal companions, these seven main energy centers or Chakras act as regulators of vital energy, the mental plane, and the state of consciousness.

1. Base Chakra or Root Chakra (Red)

 It is about survival and security. Closely related to fear, anxiety, lack of objective or subjective security, and territoriality. For non-humans, it is essential in terms of connection with the earth and with the material. In them, the relationship of this first chakra is also vital to the first chakra of their human bond. If humans feel many insecurities/fears in their lives, especially cats, they may somatize the lack of humans by showing weakness in their first chakra. In the body, it is related to the intestines, hips, hind limbs, musculoskeletal system, and urinary system.

2. Sacral Chakra (Orange)

 It manages relationships with others, duality, sexuality, and pleasure. It is responsible for perpetuating the species. It usually manifests itself with problems regarding boundaries with humans or others, affective possessiveness (towards puppies and their humans), excessive moaning (emotional cause), etc. In the body, it is related to the reproductive system, intestines, and lymphatic system.

 3. Solar Plexus Chakra or Power Chakra (yellow)

It regulates kindness and awareness of one's power/ability, self-acceptance, and confidence in getting things done. If it is unbalanced, it manifests itself with anger, aggressiveness, shyness, hesitant animal, sadness, and/or lack of desire to play. There is usually a relationship between the emotional imbalances of this chakra of the human who lives with the animal (anxiety, anger, control...). In the body, it is related to abdominal organs and the quality of blood (related to the liver).

4. Heart Chakra or Heart Chakra (Green or Pink)

The central chakra links the lower chakras with the upper ones and involves love, empathy, caring, compassion, and empathy. It is the chakra that seeks the balance between giving and receiving. It is usually extensive in dogs and cats (chest and withers). This chakra may be related to jealousy, possession, separation anxiety, and general refusal to interact with other cats or dogs. In the body, it is related to the heart, lung, thymus, immune and circulatory systems. Closely related to the anterior chakra (solar plexus).

5. Communication Chakra or Throat Chakra (Light Blue or Turquoise)

It manages communication, the thyroid, and the endocrine system. If it is misaligned, it can manifest with excessive vocal communications in dogs and cats, such as meowing and whimpering; he may also be unable to pay attention and ignore you when you call him, etc. In short, there are all kinds of communication problems. Animals that are forced to be unable to express themselves (barking, pulling leash without allowing movement, meowing) may have problems in the organs related to this chakra. In the body, it is related to the throat, ear, mouth, and jaw.

6. Frontal Chakra or Third Eye Chakra (Indigo Blue)

It has to do with the acceptance of self, perception, and knowledge. If misaligned or blocked, the animal is easily distracted or distant. On a physical level, it causes problems such as headaches, balance problems, lack of contact with reality (seizures, absences...), and eye problems. In the body, it is related to the head, the pineal gland, the eyes, and the inner part of the ears.

7. Crown Chakra or Crown Chakra (Violet, Gold, or White)

It is the one that connects with the spiritual or with all that is. If it is misaligned or closed, the animal is depressed and has little connection with those around it. Problems of the central nervous system have to do with these last two chakras (neoplasms in the brain, cerebellum, spinal cord, problems/disease in the meninges or the brain...). In the body, it is related to the brain, central nervous system, and autonomic nervous system. Although I have remarked it in some of the above, and leaving aside our feeling of guilt, there is usually a relationship between the emotional imbalances of the chakras of the human who lives with the animal (on a physical or emotional level) and the imbalances that the animal shows by somatization. At this level, there are more imbalances in the animals that live with us than in the animals that live independently without human pressure.

I hope this information will be helpful to you, as it has been for me in this adventure of helping both pet owners and pets in their journey.
