Definitely stop and breathe. If you are doing your Reiki I and II through Sacred Mists, I am the person who will be looking at your Assessment. Even if this is not the case, I think I can give valuable advice. First of all, I see the Assessment as more like a conversation than a test. I often ask for more information, or for your own thoughts in furtherance of an answer already provided, and I see neither as a bad thing or as disqualifying the student. On the contrary, I believe it is important that each student share their unique experiences. You certainly should include descriptions of your own experiences. You should go beyond the information provided and do further research if you need to. And you should not be fearful of submitting and then discussing your Assessment. My job is not to disqualify you. My job is to have a conversation with you in order to determine if you are working well with the Reiki energy. I have never once told a Reiki student that they failed, so don't even think that. Ask questions if you have any. There are people here who are happy to help.

I read tarot. I signed up for spell casting. When I hit reality I knew I had to write in and present my situation. So they switched me to tarot upon my request. (I wrote an email) It will help me with my work! Add another avenue to read to someone.
