The Grace of Reiki

The other day, I had an unsettling experience. I was at an outside market in Arizona. One place sold large quartz crystals. Some were immense. I said to the gal, “How on earth do you manage to move these from place to place?” She scowled and said, “Haven’t you heard of a forklift, lady?” I was taken aback by her attitude, so decided to make light of it. “Good one.” I said and lightly touched her jacket’s sleeve as I walked passed. She hollered at me, “Don’t touch me!” I started to say sorry, but couldn’t get a word in. “I will answer you questions about these crystals. I will sell you these crystals,” she yelled, “but that doesn’t give you a right to touch me!” I moved away, as she reached for some hand soap (antiseptic??) and some paper towel. I don’t know what she did with them because I hastened to the back of the shop, stunned.
But then I had a calmness come over me.I know that we are all ONE. I sent Reiki, to her higher self and moved with it’s grace through the rest of the day.
If this incident had taken place before Reiki was such an important part of my life, I would have been angry and devastated.
I will be forever grateful for Reiki teachings.
Many blessings!
