Why Animals Feel Anxious And How You Can Help

Tuesday, 29 July 2025 Written by Anna Merkaba Views: 12408

When I first connected with Buddy for his remote healing session, I could feel the tension in his field before I even began the work.
On the surface, his human had shared simple concerns—he had been startling at noises, guarding the door, pacing the house instead of resting.

It sounded like anxiety. The kind of behavior changes many people see in their pets at some point.

But the moment I tuned in, I knew there was more happening than anyone realized.

What I felt wasn’t just nervous energy.

It was an entire story held in Buddy’s body—an unspoken weight his soul had been carrying for far too long.

A story of loyalty.
Of love.
And of burdens that were never meant to be his.

This Wasn’t Just Anxiety. It Was Emotional Absorption.

Buddy’s healing wasn’t about training or fixing.
It was about uncovering the story his body had been holding all along.

Yes, his nervous system was on high alert.

But the deeper story?

It was one of a heart so attuned to his human that he had blurred the boundary between her feelings and his own.

Animals like Buddy are natural empaths. They feel our joy. They feel our grief. And when we’re carrying more than our hearts can bear, they quietly take it on—believing they are helping us survive.

Energetically, Buddy’s field showed me layers of grief and vigilance that didn’t fully belong to him. There were echoes of his human’s fears—of being alone, of something bad happening, of always needing to stay strong.

It wasn’t weakness.
It was loyalty.
And it was beautiful.

But it was also quietly exhausting him.

The Soul Pattern Behind Overburdened Animals

Here’s something I want you to know:

Our pets don’t just live beside us.
They live inside our emotional landscapes.

When we’re carrying unspoken burdens, they carry them too.
When we grieve silently, they grieve with us.
When we feel unsafe, they become our guardians—even when the weight is too heavy for their small bodies to hold.

I see it all the time in sessions:
Dogs who have taken on ancestral family grief.
Cats who absorb dense energies from the spaces they protect.
Animals who mirror our fears of abandonment or loss—right down to the imbalances in their root and sacral chakras.

Their bodies start to show it.
Joint pain. Gut issues. Nervous-system agitation.
Sometimes even mysterious symptoms that don’t match any physical diagnosis.

Not because they’re broken.
But because they love us that much.

Gentle, Soulful Healing for Your Beloved Animal Companion

Your pet is more than just an animal—they are family, a soul who loves you unconditionally and feels your emotions more deeply than you may realize.

My distant energy healing sessions connect directly with your pet’s energetic field to release blockages, soothe anxiety, ease discomfort, and restore balance at a soul level. Whether they’ve experienced past trauma, illness, or simply seem “not themselves,” this session offers them the gift of peace, vitality, and renewal—while strengthening the bond you share.

Every session includes a detailed written report with the insights, healing work done, and messages that arise from your pet’s soul—so you can understand and support them more deeply than ever before.

Because our animals deserve the same love and care they so freely give to us.

What We Did in Buddy’s Session

Buddy’s healing wasn’t about “fixing” his anxiety.

It was about listening to what his body had been trying to say all along:

“I don’t want to hold this alone.”

“I want to feel safe in my own skin.”

“I want to be loved for who I am—not for what I can carry.”

We released the layers of grief and fear that had settled in his root chakra.
We strengthened his energetic boundaries so that he could love without absorbing.
We called back the parts of him that had dimmed under the weight of responsibility.

And as we did, something shifted.
His field softened.
His body let out a tremor—an involuntary sign of release.
And for the first time in a long while, Buddy’s system felt safe enough to rest.

If You’re Reading This and Nodding…

If you’ve noticed your animal carrying more than their share—
If they seem to mirror your emotions…
If they’ve been restless, anxious, or mysteriously unwell…

This is for you.

Your animal isn’t misbehaving.

They’re not “too sensitive.”

They may just be carrying the weight of loving you so deeply that they forgot where you end and they begin.

And somewhere in their field, they’re waiting for someone to say:

“It’s okay. You don’t have to hold this anymore.”

“I see you. I’ll carry my own grief now.”

“You are free to just be loved.”

The Work I Do With Animals Isn’t About Training or Behavior.

It’s about restoring their energetic sovereignty.

Calling back their vitality.

Clearing the burdens they were never meant to carry.

And reminding them that their greatest gift to us is not their sacrifice—
It’s their joy.

If your heart knows your animal has been holding too much—
I would be honored to support you both in this way.

Sending you lots of love and high vibrations,

Love,
