Does your animal love a good belly rub? Perhaps they fall on their back to greet you when you arrive home? Chances are you fill them with pure joy, as exposing this delicate and sensitive area such as their tummy is a sure sign that they feel very safe and accepted by you, as their family. They are literally radiating with Solar plexus energy and joy at feeling safe in your company. How sweet!
The Solar plexus is a complex of ganglia and radiating nerves of the sympathetic system situated at the pit of your animal's stomach. Each time you tickle or rub your animal’s belly, you are stimulating the Solar plexus chakra area. It is also known as the Celiac plexus.
This chakra is associated with the colours yellow, symbolising fire and the ‘heat’ and warmth generated by the digestion of food. Yellow is the colour of the radiant Sun and is associated with the balance of energy and brightness and a feeling a sense of self-acceptance.
The Solar plexus chakra governs gut instincts, it is the first place an animal will show signs of imbalance if they don’t feel happy or safe. The chakra is believed to be responsible for accumulation and storing of energy, known as prana, the Sanskrit word which has a number of interpretations in English, including 'life force' 'energy' and 'vital principle'.
The Solar plexus chakra plays a vital role in the functioning of the stomach, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands in animals. A well-balanced Solar plexus chakra means that your animal likely has a strong and very positive life force, radiates confidence, and is well balanced in their energy levels. They also likely have a hearty, strong appetite and enjoy being pampered (yes belly rubs are most welcome!). They are in a contented state of being at most times.
As an experienced animal reiki practitioner and distance pet communicator, some key signs of an imbalanced Solar plexus chakra in animals that I have seen include a lack of appetite, eating disorders and issues with digestion. There may be a breakdown in the body's ability to balance of nutrients and eliminate waste products. You may find your animal is not enjoying eating and definitely does not like being stroked, especially around their belly. You may also notice that they sleep much longer than usual, along with having a general lack of energy. Other signs of Solare plexus chakra imbalance can include excessive fear, and occasionally signs of aggression for no reason.
You can work with the Solar plexus chakra through gently rubbing or holding your hand on your animal’s belly, if they feel comfortable allowing you to do this. Choose to work with yellow coloured crystals, such as Citrine and Yellow Jasper.
In each of my remote animal reiki and communication sessions, I take a soul-centred approach to animal healing, following my LOVE Methodologyâ„¢ and Trinity Techniqueâ„¢ and by working through balancing each of the chakras for your animal.
