A chakra spirit animal embodies the qualities of the chakra that it is associated with. Did you know that one of your chakras is naturally more active than your other chakras?
Your most active chakra determines your chakra personality type and your chakra spirit animal.
Your chakra spirit animal will show you what your strengths are, and how you can best contribute to the world. It will also show you your weaknesses and how you are at your best.
What Is A Chakra Spirit Animal?
A chakra spirit animal embodies the qualities of the chakra that it is associated with.
Each of the chakras has a chakra personality type associated to it (if you don’t know your type, find it here).
For each of the chakra personality types, the associated chakra spirit animal is our inspiration and our teacher. It can teach us what our strengths are, and what we need to look out for to be our best selves.
Letยดs also look at the qualities of the animals of other chakras. It will help us to understand them and fully appreciate them for what they are.
Each chakra personality type and chakra spirit animal has a place in the ecosystem. Together, all types and chakras provide a balance that cannot be achieved by one of the types alone.
How To Find Your Chakra Spirit Animal
To find your chakra spirit animal, find out what your chakra personality type is. You can read my post Which Chakra Personality Type Are You? to find out which type you are.
One of the seven chakras is your most active one. That is your main chakra personality type. Below you will find which spirit animal is related to your chakra.
The 7 Chakra Spirit Animals
1st / Root Chakra: The Ant
Chakra Personality Type: The Builder
Element: Earth
Keywords: discipline, order, patience
Strengths:
There is no one better at patiently working toward a goal than the ant. The ant is all about community and its contribution to the greater good.
When others give up, the ant keeps going. It does not know any different.
In stressful situations, you are able to stay grounded and support others to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You know that steady wins the race and that hard work pays off.
Weaknesses:
When the ant is not in balance, it is at risk of overdoing what it’s good at.
Be wary of not getting overly rigid when it comes to following orders and rules.
If you feel overwhelmed, step away from the situation and spend some time by yourself. Meditate.
2nd / Sacral Chakra: The Butterfly
Chakra Personality Type: The Artist
Element: Air
Keywords: transformation, lightness, colorful
Strengths:
The butterfly is the symbol of transition and transformation. It pops up by surprise to overwhelm the world with its beautiful color.
It flies from flower to flower and never stays in one plays long. The butterfly is free, light and enjoys every moment.
You are able to bring joy, laughter and positivity to the lives of others. Allow yourself to shine and everyone will benefit.
Weaknesses:
The butterfly is fragile and, although it might not seem that way, also needs some source of stability.
Create a place of calm for yourself in the form of a daily routine. This can be anything from a meditation, a work out session or cooking.
Try to focus on one thing at a time, before you get too overwhelmed and focus on 10 things at once.
3rd / Solar Plexus Chakra: The Ram
Chakra Personality Type: The Achiever
Element: Fire
Keywords: Focus, determination, persistance
Strengths:
The ram knows what it wants and goes for it. Once the ram is on course, there is no stopping him.
He is a true warrior and a leader.
You can be an inspiration to others and help them take the lead in their lives. When others feel lost, you can be their strong anchor.
Weaknesses:
The ram can be a rock and a leader for its relatives, but when things don’t go the way he wants, he runs the risk of getting aggressive and insensitive to others.
Be aware that there is more to life than only ambition and reaching your goals.
To feel complete, you need to make time for your relationships and learn how to let your guard down.
4th / Heart Chakra: The Wolf
Chakra Personality Type: The Caretaker
Element: Earth
Keywords: guardian, protector, caring
Strengths:
The wolf understands the importance of the wellbeing of the pack. The pack is at its strongest when all its members are healthy and happy.
The wolf is a caring guardian for its next of kin.
You also understand this. Therefore you love to dedicate your life to caring for others and making a contribution to the greater good.
Weaknesses:
Because not all things always go as planned, it is also important to learn to let go. The wolf knows to pick its battles and when to preserve its energy.
Know that not everyone is as strongly driven by emotions and relationships as you.
Shine your caring light and accept that the universe will guide you toward what is right for you. You donยดt need to force anything. Donยดt expect others to act or see things in the same way you do.
5th / Throat Chakra: The Lion
Chakra Personality Type: The Speaker
Element: Fire
Keywords: Roar, leader, courage
Strengths:
The lion needs to roar and the world needs to hear it. He is a natural leader.
He knows exactly where to go, what he wants and how to get there in the most efficient way possible.
You also possess this natural authority. You can be a great inspiration to people with your clear vision and ideas on which direction to take.
Weaknesses:
The lion only shows a part of himself to most others. He might seem intimidating to some, and little know his true feelings.
Be aware that strength also comes from friendship and relationships with others.
Use your skills to influence people in a constructive way without getting manipulative.
6th / Third Eye Chakra: The Hawk
Chakra Personality Type: The Thinker
Element: Air
Keywords: birds eye view, focus, distant
Strengths:
The hawk oversees it all. Where others are zoomed in on a small detail, the hawk is the only one with the birds eye view.
The hawk doesnยดt miss a thing. He noticed small changes and understands how this impacts the whole situation.
You also have this ability. You understand things that others cannot. Make sure you get your views out into the world in a constructive way. The world can benefit greatly from your insights.
Weaknesses:
The hawk can get suspicious of others taking what is his. That is not necessary, there is enough space for everyone.
Know your strengths and see them as your contribution to the world.
Donยดt get short or arrogant toward others because they cannot understand things in the same way that you can.
7th / Crown Chakra: The Unicorn
Chakra Personality Type: The Yogi
Element: Spirit
Keywords: Divine, unique, mysterious
Strengths:
The unicorn represents the deepest wisdom there is. He is the most mystical and divine creature of all. No one even knows for sure if he ever really existed.
The unicorn is able to let us see what we couldnยดt see before.
Your strenght is your innate understanding of this divine wisdom, and your exceptionally strong intuition.
Weaknesses:
The unicorn is out of this world. He is a distant creature that none of us can touch.
You are as unique as the unicorn, a rare kind in this world. That is your strenght and gift to others.
Understand and accept that the wisdom you possess is something that most people will never be able to understand.
