You are probably saying..."Chakras, my dog?" and
yes, they DO have energy centers and why not? They are energetic
beings!
CHAKRAS Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. They
are centers of whirling energy, located along the center of the body.
There are seven Chakras that govern our psychological properties. The
three Chakras located on the lower part of the body are our basic
survival needs, the four above are more psychological.
The
chakras can have various levels of activity. When they're open,
balanced or aligned the Chakras are considered working as they should.
Ideally, all chakras would be balanced. Instincts would work with our
feelings and thinking. However, this is usually not the case. Some
chakras are not open enough (being under-active), and to compensate,
other chakras are over-active. The ideal state is where the chakras are
completely balanced. This is as true for your dogs as it is for you!
Especially since they pick up and take on so many of our emotions.
There
are a lot of techniques to balance the chakras. It makes no sense to
try to make over-active chakras less active, as they are compensating
for other chakras. To restore the compensation they would become
over-active again immediately. The chakras they are compensating for
must be opened to balance things.
Most
agree that there are seven major Chakras and for simplicity's sake, we
will work with that system for now for our dogs. I do feel that
additional Chakras are located in their paws.
Root Chakra
- Color: red Stone/Crystal: Carnelian, red jasper, garnet, ruby (for
energy) and obsidian, hematite, jet (for grounding) or clear quartz. The Root Chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If it is open and balanced,
your dog probably feels grounded, stable and secure and does not
distrust people. They are confident and feel they have sufficient
territory. If your dog tends to be fearful or nervous, their Root chakra is probably under-active. If this chakra is over-active your dog may be very greedy, a toy or food bowl guarder, possibly obsessed with being secure and resistant change.
Sacral Chakra- Color: Orange Stone/Crystal: Citrine, carnelian, tiger's eye, clear quartz. The Sacral Chakra is about feelings and sexuality. When it is open and balanced,
your dog's feelings flow freely, and are expressed without being
overemotional or frantic. They are open to affection and can be loving
and lively. If your dog tends to be stiff and unemotional or guarded, the Sacral chakra is under-active If this chakra is over-active,
your dog may tend to be emotional all the time. They will be very
emotionally attached to people and may have separation anxiety.
Solar Plexus Chakra - Color: Yellow Stone/Crystal: Citrine, yellow topaz, yellow amber or clear quartz. The Solar Plexus Chakra is about your dog asserting themselves in a group. When it is open, you feel in control and you have sufficient self esteem. When the Solar Plexus chakra is under-active, your dog may be passive and timid. If this chakra is over-active, your dog may be domineering and probably even aggressive.
Heart Chakra -
Color: Green for Healing or Rose Pink for Love Stone/Crystal:
Malachite, emerald, rose quartz, watermelon tourmaline, rhodochrosite
or clear quartz The Heart chakra is about love, kindness and affection. When it is open and balanced, your dog is compassionate, loving and friendly, and you work at harmonious relationships. When your Heart chakra is under-active, your dog may be fearful, cold and distant.I personally do not feel there are over-active Heart Chakras :-D
Throat Chakra: Color: Clear Blue Stone/Crystal: Turquoise, lapis lazuli, azurite, aquamarine, clear quartz. The Throat chakra is about self-expression and talking. When it is open and balanced, your dog will have no problems expressing herself and being understood. When this chakra is under-active, your dog may be introverted and shy. If this chakra is over-active, your dog will tend to bark or vocalize too much, usually to domineer and manipulate.
Third Eye Chakra - Color: Indigo Stone/Crystal: Sapphire, tourmaline, sapphire, sodalite, azurite and clear quartz. The Third Eye chakra is about insight and visualisation. When it is open and balanced, your dog will be intuitive and well balanced between the world of people and that of dogs. If it is under-active,
your dog will not be not very good at thinking for herself, and you may
tend to rely on you too much and might even get confused easily. If this chakra is over-active, your dog may live in a world of fantasy and only play.
Crown Chakra - Color: Violet or white Stone/Crystal: Amethyst, moonstone, sugilite, sodialite, fluorite, clear quartz. The Crown chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. When this chakra is open and balanced, your dog is quite aware of the world and her place in it. If it is under-active, your dog may be one of those that just does not fit in. If this chakra is over-active, your dog may worry too much and not take care of her own needs.
Balancing Your Dog's Chakras
What are you supposed to do NOW? Your dog may fit some of the patterns discussed in the articles and you want your beloved one to be BALANCED! There are a few things you can do quite easily…
Place your Blissful Dog Chakra Kit near your dog's bed, on top of her crate or wherever it will be close. Of course, do NOT let her chew on it or swallow the stones, that would be dangerous and silly to boot!
Use The Blissful Dog Vibrational Essence that corresponds to the issues you are working on. I swear by them and know you will achieve quicker results.
You can also spend more time alone, in a quiet space with your dog. Pet them, even a brief massage and just concentrate on THEM for 10-15 minutes a day. Nirvana for a dog.
The stones are encased in an aluminum tin with a clear cover, sprinkled with sage for purification and placed in a hand painted Blissful Dog velveteen pouch.
Actual stones, tins and pouches may vary from the ones pictured, based on availability. Your stones/crystals will be at least as big or bigger than the ones shown.
This is the perfect item for the dog lover who has it ALL!
