Why should you learn about the Animal Chakra system you ask?

The chakra system is made up of a series of energy centers throughout the body that play an important role in an animal’s overall health & well-being. When imbalances or blockages occur in these energy centers, it can result in physical, emotional, or behavioral issues. Pinpointing and addressing these can bring the animal back to a state of balance and optimum health.

While there are said to be many more chakras in & around the body, the animal system is made up of 8 major chakras. Let’s start at the top & take a look!

CROWN CHAKRA (SAHASRARA)

The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head

It is associated physically with the skull & brain, cerebral cortex, central nervous system, and pineal gland

The Crown relates to the “life force connection”

Imbalances can manifest as grief, depression, disorientation (cognitive dysfunction), fear, separation anxiety, or general stress/tension.

THIRD EYE (AJNA)

Located on the front of the head, just above the eye

It is associated physically with the pituitary gland, ears, eyes, nose, and fur/skin

The Third Eye relates to insight & telepathy, the way animals communicate with each other. This particular chakra is usually very developed in most animals

Imbalances can manifest as concentration issues, hair loss, hearing loss, hyperactivity, skin allergies, or post-traumatic pain

THROAT (VISHUDDHA)

Located directly on the throat

It is associated physically with the throat, thyroid, hypothalamus, & vocal chords

The Throat relates to all aspects of communication & expression, as well as truth and wisdom

*Balancing this chakra can help with communication between you & your animal as well!

SOLAR PLEXUS (MANIPURA)

The Solar Plexus is located on the middle spine
