In this episode of the Enlightened Animal Podcast, I explore the concept of animal design, drawing parallels to human design. I discuss how understanding an animal's energetic and aura profile can enhance the bond between pets and their owners. Using my dog Izzy as a case study, I delve into the specific channels and gates that define Izzy's energy, survival skills, and presence. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and accommodating an animal's unique traits to foster a harmonious relationship.   Takeaways Animal design helps understand your pet's unique energy. Each animal has a way of processing energy and interacting. Understanding your pet's design strengthens your bond. The struggle channel influences survival skills in dogs. Izzy's individualistic nature affects group dynamics. Presence in animals can teach humans about mindfulness. Recognizing an animal's needs enhances their well-being. Pet chart readings can reveal deeper insights. Understanding energy dynamics can improve pet training.
