How Reiki Unintentionally Healed My Border Collie's Arthritis

My Reiki practice all started with a limp. A year-long limp that broke my heart every time I saw my sweet 7-year-old Border Collie struggle to walk. She’s a beautiful dog, full of energy, and the thought of her in pain was unbearable. It wasn’t just a minor limp—it was bad. The vet diagnosed her with severe cartilage loss, and in 2022, they told me that she'd never be the same. No more running, no more playing, no more jumping to catch her frisbee, and only very short walks. For her, this was a death sentence. She howled at her toys to be thrown. It was painful to watch her so bored.

I tried everything—pain meds, supplements, and physical therapy. We even tried gold injections. But no matter what, she continued to limp. I was desperate, and I couldn’t bear to see her suffer any longer. That’s when I picked up a book called How to Energy Heal Your Dog. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was willing to try anything at that point.

I read the book, skeptical but intrigued. It talked about energy healing—concepts I had only heard of in passing but absolutely did not believe in.

But I was desperate, so one evening, I sat down with my dog. I took a deep breath, placed my hands gently on her bad paw, and just started to send her love. No fancy technique, no rules. I just closed my eyes and connected with her heart. I focused on the purest intention I could muster: I love you.

I held my hands there for about 10 minutes, just sending her everything I had.

The next day, something incredible happened. She was walking without a limp. I almost didn’t believe it until my husband commented that she hadn't limped all day. One year later, she still doesn't limp.

I can’t explain how it works. But what I do know is this: Energy healing is real. It healed my dog. Today, she runs, plays, jumps, and catches her frisbee without hesitation, pain, or any limping—the very things the vet said she'd never do again.

Intrigued by her healing, I read many more books and eventually stumbled upon Reiki when I was desperate for my own healing.

Reiki is more than just a technique. It’s a powerful tool that taps into the energy field surrounding us all, aligning body, mind, and spirit to promote healing. It works through intention, belief, and the focused energy of love. I can't explain how, but I know that Reiki is real—and it healed my dog.
