What is Animal Design?

Animal design is a fascinating approach to understanding your dog’s unique energy and aura profile. It’s inspired by the concept of human design, which combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakras to create a blueprint of an individual’s energy, personality, and life purpose. When applied to animals, this system can reveal how your dog processes energy and interacts with their environment. By understanding their design, you can tailor your care, training, and communication to align with their natural behavior, strengthening the bond between you and your pet.

How Animal Design Works

Just like humans, dogs have their own energy patterns. Through animal design, we can identify your dog’s energy type, their strengths, and how they naturally respond to their surroundings. Each dog has centers in their body, and these centers are connected by channels, which in turn have gates. Understanding these connections helps in learning more about your dog’s behavior, preferences, and instincts.

Exploring Izzy’s Design: A Case Study

To give you a clearer picture of how this works, let me introduce you to Izzy, one of my four Australian Shepherds. I recently explored her animal design chart, and it revealed some incredible insights about her unique personality and behavior.

The Channel 28-38: The Struggle Channel

Izzy has a channel known as the 28-38, or the struggle channel. This channel is akin to an immune system for her energy, representing a drive for survival. It influences how she responds to threats and environmental challenges, helping her develop essential survival skills. For instance, if Izzy were ever to get lost, this channel would guide her instincts, allowing her to survive in the wild. This aligns perfectly with her natural instincts, helping her interact harmoniously with other dogs and adapt to new environments.

The Channel 1-8: The Inspiration Channel

Another significant aspect of Izzy’s design is the 1-8 channel, also known as the inspiration channel. This individual channel highlights her unique nature and acts as a mutative force. Essentially, it influences behaviors that other dogs may mimic, similar to the “hundredth monkey phenomenon,” where a behavior spreads through a group once it reaches a critical mass.

Izzy often exhibits behaviors that, while individualistic, inspire the other dogs to follow suit. This can sometimes mean they pick up on both her positive and less-desirable habits. Observing this dynamic in my household has been eye-opening, shedding light on how group dynamics and social behaviors evolve among dogs.

The Gate 20: The Gate of Presence

One of the most striking elements of Izzy’s design is the gate 20, known as the gate of presence. This gate gives her an extraordinary ability to remain grounded in the present moment. She lives with a heightened sense of focus and presence, which can be seen in how she engages in daily activities.

For training, this means she excels at tasks that require immediate focus but may struggle with complex, multi-step commands. This hyper-focus makes her calm and Zen-like, unaffected by stressors that might trouble other dogs, such as thunderstorms or separation anxiety. Her presence teaches me the value of mindfulness, reminding me to live in the moment.

Lessons Learned: Embracing Your Dog’s Natural Energy

Understanding Izzy’s animal design has transformed how I care for her. It has allowed me to create a more harmonious household by acknowledging and facilitating her natural tendencies. Her intense presence has been a valuable life lesson, teaching me to appreciate the beauty of living in the present.

When we align our interactions with our dog’s energy design, we create an environment that supports their well-being. Learning about their unique energetic patterns can help us understand their role in our lives and how they communicate their needs.

Discover Your Dog’s Design

Animal design opens a doorway to a deeper understanding of your dog’s energy and behavior. Whether you are curious about your dog’s survival instincts, group dynamics, or their sense of presence, this system offers insights that can help you bond more deeply with your pet.

To explore your dog’s design, you need to know their place and date of birth. While having the time of birth is a bonus, it’s not essential. Through a detailed reading, you can uncover the layers of your dog’s energetic blueprint and learn how to better support their needs. Additionally, I offer connection chart readings, which examine how your dog’s energy interacts with yours. This can reveal deeper insights into your bond and your dog’s purpose in your life.

Final Thoughts

Understanding your dog’s design is like opening a window into their soul. It allows you to see the world through their eyes, to appreciate their unique energy, and to communicate with them on a deeper level. By acknowledging and aligning with your dog’s natural design, you not only enhance their well-being but also enrich your own life.

Every interaction becomes more meaningful when you understand your dog’s innate traits and tendencies. So, take the time to explore their energetic blueprint and enjoy the journey of discovering more about your beloved canine companion.
