Introducing your baby to your canine companion.

A student asked: What energy tools can I use to calm and harmonize our 5 year old husky mix's, excitement when she’s around our newborn granddaughter?

She wants to perch on the table edge, sniff and is fascinated when the baby arrives.

We hold her harness until she calms and settles down.

What energy tools can I use to assist her to calm herself?

She may be overwhelmed by new energy, new scent, new sounds, and a huge shift in pack dynamics. 

New-borns have a very open, high-frequency energy field.

To animals—especially intuitive breeds like huskies—this can feel magnetic, fascinating, and slightly destabilizing.

They are likely:

• Drawn to the baby’s strong life-force

• Unsure of her role in this new “pack order”

• Excited but also trying to regulate herself

So the goal is grounding and reassurance.

For example ....

Ground Her 

• Place one hand on the chest (heart center)

• One hand over her hips or lower back

• Breathe slowly and deeply for 6–8 breaths

• Intend: “You are safe. You belong. You are calm.”

Dogs entrain quickly to our nervous system—your calm becomes hers. So work on yourself too.

Canine Figure Eight

This is a great go-to for excitement and overstimulation.

How to do it:

• With flat hands, trace a slow sideways figure 8 over the body

• Start at the shoulders, cross the spine, move down toward the hips

• Keep movements slow and rhythmic

• Do this before and after baby interactions

This balances left/right brain and helps integrate excitement without overwhelm.

Triple Warmer Soothing

Triple Warmer governs stress response.

• Stroke slowly from behind the ears, down the neck, along the spine to the tail

• Use long, calming strokes

• Repeat 3–5 times

This tells her nervous system: “.All is well.”

Let her briefly sniff baby items (blanket, clothing) before meeting the baby

This reduces novelty overload and supports integration.

Energy Clearing for the Space

New babies change the whole household field.

Simple space reset:

• Gently clap your hands in corners of the room

• Open a window briefly if possible

• Intend calm, harmony, and shared safety

dogs will sense this immediately.

Flower Essence Support (Optional but Lovely)

If appropriate:

• Rescue Remedy for Pets

• Walnut (for adapting to change)

• Impatiens (for excitement and overstimulation)

  
  

A few drops in water or rubbed into ears.
