Animal Chakras – Chakra 6 the Third Eye Chakra
Do you know where you fit in with your family, your animal pack, and your community?
Did you ever think about whether your pet knows where he or she fits into your family and your life?
Having self-awareness and knowing where you fit in with your family or pack or herd is governed by the Sixth Chakra.
This chakra is all about self-awareness, in addition to mental and intuitive abilities.
This is such an important Animal Chakra to understand – especially with rescue animals, horses that have been rehomed, introducing new animals to the family, or for any group of animals living together.

A Lion in Winter
A rancher friend of ours called my wife last week and mentioned that a young mountain lion had killed a deer about 100 yards from her home, and several days later a fawn about 50 yards from her home. She has donkeys and horses, so she was concerned the mountain lion might go after one of them. They decided it would be best for now to keep the animals in the corral close to the house to protect them.
She used to have an older mountain lion who roamed the area which would keep the younger mountain lions away. That mountain lion was a good friend of her Pitbull and used to come into her yard and lick the Pitbull’s face as it was laying down. The older mountain lion is known to the nearby ranchers and never bothers their animals. When the Pitbull died a year ago the older mountain lion stopped visiting her ranch in his travels.
The backstory: the mountain lion was raised by an old Aztec Indian who lived in the area. He found four baby mountain lions left by a mother who somehow had died. He raised the mountain lions and this one is the remaining lion of the group. The Aztec Indian passed away three years ago. Our friend is an RN who actually treated the lion on occasion when the Indian asked for her help.
In their brainstorming the problem of the new predator, our friend wondered if I could contact the older lion and ask him to include her ranch again in his wanderings because that might scare off the younger lion. That was last Sunday night. I contacted the lion, asked him for his help, and arranged with him to go to our friend’s ranch at feeding time on Monday morning which he said he would do. He was actually thrilled to be contacted.
On Monday I heard nothing from our friend, so I contacted the lion Monday night to see what happened. He said he went over to her ranch at feeding time, but she wasn’t there. The next day at noon we got a call from our friend who said she left at noon Monday to take her dog to the vet, and that it took all afternoon. That is why they missed each other. Tuesday the lion had just shown up and was stretched out under some Ponderosa Pines, a place he used to enjoy lounging when he visited. That is when she gave us a call and expressed her thanks for the help.
Then the timing hit me. “Feeding Time” for him is not 7:00 AM. His feeding time is mid-day. On Monday he showed up at feeding time as he said he would, but that was his feeding time, not her feeding time. She had already gone to the vet. The lion has been contacted the last few days and he says he is still going over there every day.
I also contacted the young lion and suggested to him that we needed to work together on the feeding problem. He needed to leave the animals in the pastures alone and concentrate on the deer and antelope which roam free and can be hit by cars in the area, so they are a problem for the ranchers.
It didn’t occur to me at the time, but I should have done a conference call and talked to both of them at the same time. I have done that when we had our four rescue donkeys. We discovered animals could do “zoom” calls when our three mammoth donkeys contacted my wife in the middle of the night with a problem. The following evening, I held a conference call with everyone so they all had the same information.
The warmth I felt from the lion was amazing. For three days I had a warm glow in my chest that I interpreted to be the love of the lion for the contact. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. He is 195 pounds pure joy, and a guy I hope I have a chance to meet sometime.
