The 8 Chakras: Uncovering Hidden Influences of Pet Behavior

Learn tips and tricks about pet behavior and the 8 chakras from the world’s foremost animal communicator!

Expert animal communicator Joan Ranquet has spent decades exploring the link between animal behavior and chakras—energy centers within and around the body—and she knows that behavioral challenges can stem from there. That’s because when one or more chakras are blocked, it can manifest as stress, discomfort, anxiety, fear, and behavioral/relationship challenges. Find out more about the 8 chakras, how they impact behavior, and how to support balance and harmony for dogs and cats.

First Chakra: Survival

The root chakra at the base of the spine is associated with security, safety, and sense of self. Blockages show up as insecurity, instability, and extreme behavior, such as timidity or reactivity.

What you can do: Make your animal companion feel safe, do activities that give them confidence, keep a regular exercise routine, stay grounded, and use calming touch techniques like the bladder sweep.

Second Chakra: Exchange of Energy

The sacral chakra is associated with procreation, creativity, and one-on one-relationships. When it’s out of balance, dogs or cats might have separation anxiety, infertility issues, and arthritic hips.

What you can do: Use massage for relaxation and circulation. Also, foster a stronger relationship between yourself and your animal, and encourage healing between the animal and other animals in the house.

Third Chakra: Awareness                                                

The solar plexus chakra relates to self-esteem, confidence, self-assuredness, awareness, and gut instinct. Lack of balance results in separation anxiety, self-pity, and even digestive problems.

What you can do:

• Training
• Confidence-building games
• High-quality diet
• Gut and digestive support

Fourth Chakra: Heart Center

The heart chakra is all about the ability to balance joy and sorrow, so when it’s blocked or out of balance, you might notice deep grief or excessive excitement and enthusiasm.

What you can do: A regular exercise routine can help to expend excess energy and reconnect them with the world.

Fifth Chakra: Center of Communication

The throat chakra represents expression, including vocal, body, and energetic language. If it’s out of balance, your animal might appear overly reactive without warning.

What you can do: Try animal communication techniques, make sure your dog or cat has a purpose, and give them opportunities to express themselves through:

• Exercise
• Creativity
• Bodywork
• Play
• Training
• Relationships

Sixth Chakra: Command

The third eye chakra is associated with enhanced senses, intuition, and instinct, so when it’s out of balance, an animal might experience depression.

What you can do: Try emotional freedom technique (EFT), which can help restore their natural impulse through play, communication, and energy healing.

Seventh Chakra: Trust

The crown chakra gives animals the ability to trust, so imbalance manifests as distrust, isolation, lack of faith, and an inability to connect.

What you can do: EFT, games, bodywork, inviting curiosity, and letting them observe trusting relationships.

Eighth Chakra: Ecosystem/Home

The soul star or aura chakra is related to the body’s energy field and associated with the pack or herd. In other words, this chakra’s balance is impacted by the other energy fields in the home.

What you can do: Feng shui, sound healing, cleansing with sage, clearing clutter, changing routines, and creating a safe space.
