Reiki is a gentle, painless, non-invasive and stress-free experience for animals and I was fortunate enough to have the use of Reiki during a time when my Dachshund, Oliver, needed it most. He had gone out the door to do his business and when he went down the step he let out a loud 'yelp'. I knew something was wrong in that instant and after gently picking him up and assessing the situation, it was evident that a trip to the emergency vet was in order.
After several x-rays and what seemed an eternity, the vet finally called us in to report the findings. Oliver had slipped a disk and surgery was in his future to the tune of 5K. As any of us know when faced with this kind of decision, it was a difficult one to make. Oliver would not be undergoing surgery and I was devastated.
Armed with painkillers and anti-inflammatories for Oliver, we made the trip back home. That night while lying in bed, Oliver next to me, and after having some time to settle down, I thought to myself, "why aren't I doing Reiki"? So, I turned the Reiki energy on and for the next two hours Oliver received the healing energy of Reiki.
The next day one of my husband's co-workers mentioned a veterinarian in the Wisconsin Dells who did chiropractic on dogs. I made an appointment and drove the hour long trip with Oliver in the seat next to me. The vet assessed Oliver and then brought out an instrument that resembled a glue gun. After several minutes the treatment was over and Oliver seemed to be somewhat better.
I also made a crystal healing grid for Oliver which included a pet mandala, quartz crystals, rose quartz, and hematite. I set the intention for Oliver's healing and then activated the grid. I believe that using the grid also helped in Oliver's recovery.
Over the next several weeks I continued to do Reiki on Oliver and we travelled to the Dells for his weekly chiropractic treatment. After about a month there was noticeable improvement and he was walking on his back legs without any difficulty. Best of all he was free from pain!
I continued to do Reiki but one night after just a few minutes, Oliver looked up at me, got up and moved down the bed. I followed him and layed my hands on him. He again looked up at me, got up and walked away. I tried one more time to lay my hands on him, but he moved once again and at that point I knew that he was done with Reiki!
I believe that between the chiropractic treatments, the crystal grid and Reiki, Oliver's back mended without surgery and without an extended recovery period. I am truly grateful for the Reiki energy and for the healing that it brought Oliver.
