The Pancreas is a gland organ. As my former beloved dogs Chloe and Wallace can attest, playing these songs will truly help create a calming, soothing and healing environment for them (and for you).The glands work with the nervous system, the endocrine system, the chakra system, other glands and the organs. Whether you have a newly adopted companion animal rescued from a shelter, or a long-time family member showing signs of separation anxiety, or a group of animals showing signs of situational stress, here is a short list of recommendations. But for this particular post I want to focus on mantra music for traumatized and/or anxious animals. As we know, the benefits of chanting mantra are myriad–ranging from physical to emotional to mental to spiritual.
Allowing ourselves to heal the lower triangle that was developed before we turn 21, we find ourselves loving our inner child, seeing what’s. There’s no accident that most of our 20s, we are doing the true work of self-discovery. Anahata, the Heart Chakra is developed between the ages of 22-28. As 5 Kundalini Mantras to Open the Heart Chakra.
Hearing a sacred mantra and absorbing its high, pure vibrations can also bring about profound physical and emotional healing as well. But in the yogic and Buddhist traditions it is said that merely hearing a mantra can benefit the listener, bringing about spiritual awakening or even enlightenment. If you are unfamiliar with the chant, see Krishna Kaur’s beautiful description below.Obviously, our beloved animal friends cannot verbally chant these mantras along with us (although some dog lovers would argue that barking can be a form of canine sacred chant). The Morning Call or long ek ong kar was the first mantra and sadhana that Yogi Bhajan taught and in remembrance of him, we chant this mantra for two and a half hours on his birthday. Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad.Please join us on Yogi Bhajan’s birthday to chant the morning call mantra. Atmastakam Shivoham Mantra.
There is nothing more rewarding than to witness a nervous, frightened animal relax into a state of peace upon hearing these sacred sounds.This is a Shabar mantra to separate two persons by creating enmity amongst. Now I visit my local shelter almost weekly, to recite mantras to the distressed animals in residence there. I even used mantra to help my beloved dog Chloe during her time of transition (she sadly died this past September). I’ve used mantras to help dogs work through separation anxiety to keep them calm during veterinary procedures and to assuage nervous and/or aggressive behaviors.

The more calm we are, the more calm our animal friends will be.Here’s a link to a free download of Snatam Kaur’s version of RA MA DA SA, beloved worldwide by animals and humans alike:Thus the mantra purifies the whole body and the surrounding.This is a popular mantra in my household–especially given that my doctor actually prescribed to me during a period of acute anxiety. And remember, animals are very receptive beings who pick up non-stop on our emotional states. I also encourage those who work with animals to practice this mantra themselves, because reciting this mantra regularly can help increase and augment one’s healing abilities–especially distance healing.
This grounding component makes Om Namah Shivaya is another good riding-in-the-car mantra for your dog, with the caveat being that it might also might make the driver sleepy. And because dogs are typically very grounded beings to begin with, I find that they respond quite positively to it. In other words, it’s a very grounding mantra. Chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” calms the nervous system, stabilizes the mind, and balances the elements–both within oneself and within one’s environment.
When I chant or play this mantra for dogs, I immediately see its calming effects. This includes the Animal Realm. But for now, I’ll just say that Om Mani Peme Hum is comprised of the Six Sacred Syllables of the Tibetan tradition, and that each of these syllables with a corresponding emotion or realm, and that reciting (or hearing) each of these syllables heals those emotions and liberates beings from those realms. I have so much to say about this mantra and its benefit for animals that I will be writing a separate blog about this in the coming weeks. It is also the mantra that I chant for the animals at my local animal shelter.
Just observe.Another thing I advise is: when selecting healing music to play for your beloved pets, keep in mind that animals are not only more sensitive to volume they are also more sensitive to frequencies, pitches, and tempo shifts as well. Or it might simply mean that they have received enough healing from that song for the time being. If they leave the room during certain songs–or even certain sections of a song–that’s a clear clue that the song is not appropriate at that time. Observe your friends as you play the various songs and see how they respond. It’s heartwarming to witness.There are many other beautiful versions of the aforementioned chants available at Spirit Voyage and beyond, but ultimately it’s the animal’s choice.
Anything augmented with sound healing tools is terrific–i.e. Some music that we humans might find exhilarating–such as the works of Mozart or Beethoven’s Fifth–is actually quite agitating for dogs.Ultimately, when choosing music for your animals, it’s best to opt for music with a consistent pace, rhythm and tone. While I personally enjoy all sorts of chant music, and love a good loud set of drums, my dog does not.Another thing I want to add is that I’m starting to see a lot of CDs featuring “classical music for animals.” But people should be aware that that not all classical music is suitable for dogs.
