SURF DOG RICOCHET - PAWS-ON HEALING
For even more insight on Ricochet's healing abilities, visit her Sedona Page
where several healers share their thoughts about her.
There is no question that dogs make a difference in the lives of others. And there is no question about the healing power of dogs. Ricochet is just an ordinary dog. But she has been blessed with an extraordinary and powerful ability to intuitively and empathically identify and alert to the emotional and physical changes of the individuals she interacts with. This ability allows for remarkable paws-on healing interventions. Ricochet is a registered therapy dog with Therapy Dogs Inc, a certified goal directed therapy dog with Paws'itive Teams and she has a Therapy Dog title with the AKC.
And, although surfing has been at the forefront of Ricochet's work, it’s not the act of surfing that makes her interactions so life changing. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty magical to watch her instinctively adapt her surfing style based on each individual's disability. And there have been some tremendous life-altering experiences in the ocean. But, it's her powerful gift of intuition that allows her to make such deep heart-to-heart connections. The more she connects with people, the stronger her gift becomes.
I call it intuition, but I'm not really sure what it is. Maybe it's her sense of smell and she's able to distinguish a change in a person's cortisol level (a hormone released by the adrenal glands when a person experiences stress, anger, anxiety, fear, etc). Maybe it's some psychic ability. Or maybe it's some other mystery that scientists haven't discovered yet. All I know, is that it's profound and I didn't teach her to do what she does, I just nurtured it.
Dr Clare Cunningham, led a study that show's a dog's ability to understand humans is innate and isn't dependent on training. She said "As they get to know particular humans, they pay more attention to them and this may mean they can read and even predict human behaviour with more efficiency as familiarity grows."
