🧬 Your Nervous System Isn’t Just in Your Head: It’s Rooted in Every Major Chakra as an Energetic & Emotional Portal to your Animal Healing (and yours too)

Let’s talk nervous systems and energy centers, because in both animals and humans, true healing starts where science and soul meet.

You may already know that the autonomic nervous system (the one responsible for everything from digestion to trauma responses) is divided into two branches:

• The Sympathetic Nervous System — your “fight/flight/freeze” mobilization system.

• The Parasympathetic Nervous System — your “rest/restore” sanctuary.

But did you know these two branches don’t just operate randomly throughout the body?
They converge in key energy-dense hubs called plexuses…swirling clusters of nerve roots nestled within the body’s major cavities.

And here’s where it gets even more beautiful:

👉🏽 These same plexuses mirror the exact locations of your chakras.

Yes. Every single major chakra correlates with a plexus that bridges the nervous system to endocrine function, from your adrenals to your thyroid to your gut brain.

And it’s not just a poetic match, it’s anatomical.

Let’s walk through this sacred map:

✨ Chakra + Plexus + Endocrine Trifecta

ChakraPlexus/Nerve Center. Endocrine Gland

1. Root (Muladhara) Coccygeal & Sacral Plexus. Adrenal glands

2. Sacral (Svadhisthana) Pelvic Plexus Reproductive organs

3. Solar Plexus (Manipura) Celiac & Splenic Plexus. Pancreas

4. Heart (Anahata) Cardiac & Pulmonary Plexuses Thymus

5. Throat (Vishuddha) Pharyngeal Plexus. Thyroid/Parathyroid

6. Third Eye (Ajna) Carotid Plexus. Pituitary gland

7. Crown (Sahasrara) Cerebral Cortex (not a plexus, but a convergence of neural pathways). Pineal gland

Each chakra isn’t just symbolic. It’s plugged into your physical reality, fed by a nerve stem that spirals toward your spinal cord, drawing from the Sushumna (your central energy channel).

So when the body holds trauma, or energy is disrupted, the corresponding chakra-plexus-endocrine triad is impacted.

🌿 What This Means for Human Health

If you've ever felt a "lump in your throat" or "gut instinct", you’ve experienced this network firsthand.

• Thyroid dysfunction? We often find unspoken truths stuck in the throat chakra … and guess what’s also there? The pharyngeal plexus and your thyroid gland.

• Reproductive hormone imbalances? Check the sacral plexus, emotional repression, and boundary breaches in the sacral chakra.

• Gut issues, anxiety, or autoimmune flare-ups? The solar plexus chakra governs power and safety… and it’s directly tied to the celiac plexus and your adrenals/pancreas.

And trauma?
Stored in the body… but patterned across this map.

It’s why our work inside the NEST Technique™ doesn’t isolate physical healing from the energetic or emotional. The nervous system is the bridge. And your body is smarter than you’ve been taught.

🐴 Now Let’s Talk Animals

This isn’t just true for humans. Our animals share this map, and they show us where the system is stuck far faster than we show it ourselves.

• A dog with adrenal exhaustion and tail tucking? Root and sacral plexus.

• A horse with girth sensitivity or digestive upset? Solar plexus and celiac junction, also the seat of fight/flight response.

• A withdrawn cat that hides or over-grooms? Possibly holding tension in the cardiac plexus, grief, betrayal, abandonment.

These plexuses aka these nerve gathering centers, aren’t just body parts. They’re information highways where stress signals, survival codes, and safety pathways converge.

And if we want to help them regulate, restore, and return to balance…

…we start with the system beneath the symptoms.

🔄 Integration in NEST Technique™

Every time we access a NEST gateway, we are communicating directly with this triad.

We don’t force flow. We remind the system it can return to itself.

We don't override symptoms. We listen for the underlying plexus asking to be repatterned.

And we don’t just stroke or press a body.
We enter the energetic circuitry where trauma disconnected the current.

This is why NEST works. This is why it feels so… ancient and electric.

Because it is.

🎨 Want to See This Visually?

Here’s a brilliant representation of how Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs overlays perfectly with the chakra system — showing how both safety and self-actualization begin in the body, and how physical, emotional, and energetic survival all map back to these neural-energetic centers.

Maslow’s Pyramid of the Hiearchy of Needs with the Human Chakra System

🔁 The Nervous System Isn’t a Ladder. It’s a Loop.

And every chakra, every nerve stem, every endocrine shift is part of the return.

Return to health. Return to safety.
Return to the wild truth inside every body — human or animal — that already knows how to heal.

We just help it remember.
