Background
During one of my outdoor healing sessions, I encountered two stray dogs whose energies revealed deep emotional stories. As Siddha Guru Sanju, I often allow my intuition and inner guidance to direct the flow of energy during Shaktipat transmissions. That day, the universe presented a powerful opportunity to demonstrate how unconditional love and energy healing transcend species.
One of the dogs approached me with an open heart, seeking affection, while another lingered behind, hesitant and fearful, looking for food. Instantly, I recognized the energetic difference—one needed nourishment for the body, and the other for the soul. This experience became a teaching in understanding how Kundalini energy works through compassion, silence, and touch to awaken the heart chakra—not just in humans, but in all living beings. What unfolded was a profound communion between human and animal consciousness, where healing, surrender, and divine energy merged into one field of pure love.
The Encounter
As I walked closer, the first dog came forward with a longing expression. “How are you?” I said softly, extending my hand. Its eyes glistened with both curiosity and trust. “Lie down,” I whispered, and it obeyed, lying on the grass, ready to receive. I placed my palms over its heart and said, “I am healing your heart chakra.”
Another dog appeared behind us, drawn by the vibration. I noticed instantly that while one dog wanted affection, the other’s energy reflected hunger and fear. “That dog needs food,” I said, “and this one needs love.” That is the beautiful difference—the way each soul expresses its need.
The first dog, lying before me, kept asking silently for more. I reassured it, “I’m here for you. Just receive.” But as the second dog circled around, the first became alert. Energies were crossing, each affecting the other. I guided the flow again. “Don’t worry,” I told the anxious one. “That dog carries fear. You just stay here. You need love.”
Healing through Love and Touch
I slowly moved my hands over the dog’s chest. “Come closer,” I said softly. “You need more.” The animal responded, wagging its tail gently, leaning in. “This is heart chakra healing,” I explained. “And through silence, the energy transmits deeper.”
As my hands emitted the subtle current of prana, I could sense the dog’s restless energy beginning to calm. Its breathing slowed, its eyes softened. “When you start healing,” I told the students observing, “you not only ground the energy—you heal the soul. This is how the universe rewards you. Every being you touch becomes a channel of divine energy.”
The dog stretched its legs and sighed deeply, surrendering. “They need nothing,” I said, “other than your pure energy and touch. These hands have healing power only when you respond from your heart.”
I continued stroking its fur gently. “Just surrender completely,” I whispered. “No naughtiness, no resistance. Relax. I’ll make you sleep.” I could sense a deep restlessness in its energy—a turbulence that mirrored human anxiety. “Surrender,” I said again. “What is troubling you?”
The Moment of Surrender
The dog’s body began to tremble slightly as energy released through its heart. “This touch,” I told it, “is very important. You’re healing today.” The restlessness in its aura slowly dissolved.
Then I noticed the other dog coming closer again, its gait uneven. “My reading is correct,” I said. “This one will connect more easily.” I observed that its hind legs were weak, slightly distorted. “He cannot walk properly,” I murmured. “Sit.”
As the second dog came near, I looked into its eyes. There was an ancient stillness there—a masculine energy, pure Shiva consciousness. “He will go deeper much faster,” I said, “because his energy is still and receptive.”
I sat before him and transmitted the energy directly. The dog remained motionless, surrendering completely. “He has softened,” I said. “This is heart chakra healing. Look at his eyes. He has gone inside, totally absorbed.”
I knew then that this was the universal plan. “I cannot leave now,” I whispered. “He needs this moment.” I gestured to the others nearby, “You can relax or observe. See the water in his eyes—those are tears of release.”
Divine Stillness and Samadhi
The dog tilted its head upward, eyes half-closed, absorbing the energy. “He is telling me to continue,” I said. “Surrender more.” I gently pressed my palms on his chest. “Relax, relax, relax.”
The energy deepened, and the dog entered a state of profound stillness—its breath shallow, its awareness turned inward. “I’m always amazed at their surrender,” I said. “They know me. They recognize the vibration instantly.”
After a few moments, I could feel him slipping into a meditative state—a kind of samadhi where his consciousness merged with the energy field around him. “In some time,” I said softly, “he will go into deep samadhi. Just continue this touch. It helps him heal better.”
Using both hands, I balanced the flow of prana through his heart and spine. “Sleep, sleep,” I whispered, “relax.” The dog lay still, only the chest moving gently. A deep peace filled the space.
Then I smiled, saying, “This is the magic I wanted you to experience. I’ve healed over a thousand dogs like this—connecting to them in real time, heart to heart.”
The Flow of Universal Love
After some time, I slowly withdrew my hands. The dog opened its eyes with tenderness, as if awakening from a dream. “You need love,” I said softly. “You’ve received it now.”
I turned to the others and said, “My reading was correct. Out of both, this one responded more. His soul was ready.”
As I stroked his back, I could feel a slight resistance in his belly—a residual pain. “There’s still a trace of pain in the gut,” I noted. “It prevents full relaxation. But that’s okay. Healing is a journey.”
I placed my hand on his head. “It’s okay,” I told him, “relax, relax.” Slowly, the dog’s body softened again. I smiled, “See the love now? Give me your paw.” The dog lifted its paw gently into my palm.
The Joy of Connection
Moments later, the dog stood up, tail wagging joyfully. “Such a beautiful experience,” I said. “He knows he has been loved.” He began prancing proudly, chest forward, head high. “Look at his posture,” I said. “It’s as if he’s saying, It’s my right to be loved.”
I laughed softly. “Good one, my boy.” The dog barked playfully, circling around. I knelt again, saying, “You want to play?” He wagged his tail, half-playful, half-curious, oscillating between stillness and joy.
At that moment, I noticed the other dog returning again, watching silently. “He’s allergic to this energy,” I said, “but he’ll adjust. Every being reacts differently.”
I stood up and said gently, “Come, give me a hug.” The dog pressed against my legs affectionately. “Slowly,” I said, hugging him. “Yes, this is it. Pure love.”
The Return to Nature
Nearby, I saw a mother dog nursing her puppies. “Go to your mother now,” I said, guiding the playful one. It hesitated, wagging its tail. “Go on,” I smiled. “Be with her.”
It took a few steps, then turned back as if to say goodbye. “If only,” I murmured, “we humans could surrender with such innocence.”
The puppies played around, trying to suckle. “Look,” I said, “the mother is better now. See their playfulness—this is divine energy in motion.”
As I stood, the dogs bounded away, free and happy. “I’m blessed,” I whispered. “This is divine play—Lila.”
When they finally ran back to their mother, I folded my hands in gratitude. “Go,” I said softly, “go to your mother. Be free.”
Closing Reflections
In that sacred exchange, I was reminded once again that love is the true language of all beings. Whether human or animal, the essence of healing lies in surrender and trust. Through Kundalini Shaktipat, even animals open their energy channels, aligning their chakras and dissolving pain carried through generations.
Every heartbeat, every breath, every wag of the tail becomes a form of prayer when consciousness flows through it. As I left that place, I felt the same stillness within me that I had seen reflected in the dog’s eyes—the stillness of the universe itself.
This is the real Shaktipat—not merely transmission of energy, but the awakening of love in all living beings.
