The Dog and Their Nine Chakra Points.

Enhance your dog’s well-being by learning about their 9 major chakra points!

Dogs, much like humans, are deeply connected to the energies that surround them. Beyond their keen senses and intuitive nature, these loyal companions possess a chakra system, comprised of nine distinct points, that play a pivotal role in their overall well-being.

From the root chakra that ground them to the earth to the higher spiritual chakras that connect them to the universe, understanding and nurturing these energy centers can provide a profound insight into the holistic health and emotional balance of our canine friends.

In Sanskrit, the word “Chakra” means “disk” and refers to the spinning energies found within various parts of the body.

They are an integral part of a dog’s energy force and are vital for their well-being.

To function at their best, chakras in dogs need to stay open or balanced.

If they get blocked in any way, your dog may experience physical or emotional problems related to the specific chakra.

Humans are known to have 7 major chakras, but dogs on the other hand have 9 major chakra points.

Colors represent high or low-energy vibrations which help with the healing and cleansing of any negative energies within the dog's body.

Crystal healing in dogs is closely tied to chakra points and can uplift and cleanse the spirit of your beloved dogs.

The first or Root chakra in dogs is associated with the color red. It represents the fight-or-flight instinct, family, safety, and courage.

The root point works the immune system, blood circulation, reproductive organs, and the lower half of your dog’s body – the legs, feet, and tail.

For your dog, this is associated with their pack, how safe and grounded your pet is in their current environment, and their relationship with others in the household.

When opened, this determines how well your dog will listen to their leaders, and when blocked, it may display behaviors that may seem disobedient.

They may even become fearful or nervous because their feeling of safety is disrupted.

The second or sacral chakra in dogs is associated with the color orange.

It represents willpower and is connected to the stomach, intestines, bladder, hips, and lower back.

This chakra point is where most of the human emotions that your dog has to process go, whether it is positive or negative emotions.

When opened your dog has a better chance of understanding what you mean and what you want.

The third or solar plexus chakra in dogs is associated with the color yellow.

It is linked to the self-esteem and self-worth of your dogs. It is connected to the liver, kidney, spleen, and adrenals.

This chakra point is related to the good and confident feelings that your dog feels, when blocked, your dog’s behavior can play out as aggressive, fearful, or even angry.

It is vital that your dog is confident as they become more trustful of you and will also have a better gut instinct.

The fourth or heart chakra is associated with the color pink.

Just as the name suggests, this chakra point is connected to the heart and is all about unconditional love for oneself and others in the household.

An open heart chakra improves the regulation of emotions and helps with breathing as well.

Emotions such as love, compassion, and empathy will be filled within your dog making them care for their pack as well as the hierarchy within that pack.

When closed, negative emotions such as jealousy, envy, and grief can take over thus making them act unpleasantly.

They may start getting territorial towards other animals in the house and can develop separation anxiety towards their humans.

The fifth or throat chakra is associated with the color blue and deals with the throat, mouth, and speech in your dogs.

It has everything to do with communication and clarity, being able to express oneself in a way that is pleasant and understandable.

When blocked, your dog may display excessive vocal behaviors such as barking or whining.

They can even start ignoring you and stop listening to commands. If your dog excessively barks or bites, it may be due to a blockage of the throat chakra.

The sixth or third eye chakra is linked with the color indigo. It deals with intuition and the ability to stay calm in tense situations.

The third eye chakra in dogs is connected to the eyes, nose, brain, and pineal gland.

When out of balance, your dog can be easily distracted or even distant machining learning new tricks extremely hard.

It can also cause physical symptoms such as headaches and blurry eyes.

 It connects to the spirit and divine energy and is very useful when dealing with head trauma or other issues within the pineal gland. This chakra is often balanced with Chevron Amethyst.
 
 When this chakra point is out of balance or blocked, your dog may display behaviors such as depression and can be very sensitive to touch in the affected area.
 
 They will start to distrust humans and be disengaged from the environment around them.

The eighth or sensing chakra is associated with the color silver blue.
 
 It is connected to the five senses that your dog experiences – touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound.
 
 It determines how well your dog filters these experiences and how they deal with or react to the information they take in.
