Animal Chakras & Energy Healing

What Are Animal Chakras?

Chakras are energy centers in the body that regulate physical, emotional, and spiritual health. In animals, these chakras help maintain balance and harmony, just as they do in humans. When energy flows freely through their chakras, animals feel safe, happy, and healthy. However, stress, trauma, illness, or environmental factors can create blockages, leading to discomfort or behavioral changes.
