Do Pets Really Have Auras? What Gurus Say

If you have a pet, then you understand what I am saying, that odd, almost mystical sensation of how they can pick up on you. You don't need to talk. Your dog looks at your face and automatically picks up on your sadness. Your cat, normally standoffish, immediately snuggles up beside you on the chest when you are ill. A parrot will begin squawking at just the moment you are spaced out, bringing you into focus.

Spirit guides would say to you, it's more than a gut feeling. They believe that our animals bear and react to auras, the intangible energy forces that radiate from all living beings. And if you think about it, it does make sense.

Picture being in the sun. Surrounding you is heat you can't grasp but feel. That's how gurus explain an aura, a radiance, an energy field, changing with your mood, your health, even your thoughts.

When you're happy, it shines more brightly. When you're tense, it pushes in on you.Now here's the interesting part: gurus think that animals not only possess their own auras, but they can also tap into ours. Compared to us with our stress and ego looming over us, they are present. Their vibration is lighter, cleaner. Which could be why being near them is so soothing.

Consider dogs, for instance. How they defend, adore, and leap into our realm no wonder gurus aver that their aura exudes protection and loyalty. Cats tend to be more "mystical cleaners." They are meant to absorb negativity, keeping homes in balance.

Birds? Their song is reported to increase the vibration in a space. And elephants and cows in India are worshiped not only through habit but because they're said to have grounding energy, profoundly peaceful, soul food for human beings. One guru summed it up beautifully: "Animals don't carry what we do anger, pride, fear. They just exist. That's why their energy heals us."

We all have someone in our lives with this type of story. There was one woman who shared with me the story of her Labrador, who did not leave her side when she struggled with depression for months. "He wasn't playful anymore," she explained, "he just stuck to me like glue, as if he was carrying half my weight."Another friend laughed at how her cat would always curl up in the same corner of her home, the same corner she eventually began storing her incense and prayer candles. "I think she knew it was the 'energy spot' before me," she said.

And if you have ever spent an afternoon with horses, you know the reality of this: they reflect you. When you are tight, they prance tight. When you are relaxed, they unwind, as if an echo of your presence. These are not accidents. They feel like evidence of a secret connection.

This is the part that fascinates people the most. Gurus often say animals can actually perceive our auras. Not in a mystical, glowing-halo way, but in their own sensory language. That dog who growls at someone you’re uneasy about? The cat who immediately curls up with a stranger who turns out to be incredibly kind? Gurus would say they’re reading the person’s energy field, not their body language. And those instances when your pet looks into an empty corner, staring as if seeing something invisible? Spiritual authorities assert that they may possibly be seeing what we cannot.

Science, of course, does not speak of "auras," at least not yet. But it does acknowledge that animals are amazingly sensitive to what we so easily presume. Dogs, for example, are able to detect chemical changes in the body and even seizures prior to their occurrence. Cats respond to exposures to minute changes in their surroundings. Horses have immediate reactions to human heartbeat and emotions. Perhaps we don't have to juxtapose it as "aura" vs. "science." Perhaps they are two descriptions of the same event: animals sense what we do not.

You don't have to be scientific or religious to feel this connection. You simply have to sit and observe. Sit with your pet in silence. No distractions, just you and them. Notice the change in the atmosphere.Meditate alongside them. It's incredible how frequently pets will creep toward us when we are relaxed. Observe as they react to new individuals. You will find that they are sensitive to more than we give them credit for. Keep their world filled with goodness, no yelling, no chaos. They soak it up, just like us. And of course, touch them. All parts, all scratches, all snuggles are exchanges of energy.

Even if you can't quite manage to believe in auras, you definitely believe in what you've experienced. That feeling that your pet is something more than an animal they're an energy. They don't just reside in our houses; they reside in our emotional spaces, reflecting back to us our own feelings, smoothing out the rough edges. When your guru tells you that your cat guards your home's energy or your dog heals your soul, perhaps it's not always meant to be read literally. Perhaps it's merely a poetic way of saying something that we all instinctively know deep in our bones: that the love of an animal transforms us.

So, do pets really have auras? Science might not give a straight answer. But ask any pet parent, and the stories pour out. Dogs that comfort without being asked. Cats that know when you’re unwell. Horses that mirror fear and calm in perfect rhythm.

Call it instinct. Call it energy. Call it aura. What it does matter is this: pets resonate with us beyond rational comprehension. They observe us, they earth us, and they sometimes heal us. And perhaps the real aura isn't some sort of radiance moving through the atmosphere, but that intangible connection between a soul and its counterpart.
