Mystress,
I apologize for hurting your feelings. The poster we sent to the list
was just a suggestion, not meant to offend or to trample on all your
work.
I'll just edit the text and let you apply it where you think it best
fits.
--
Are you experiencing:
Mystical visions?
Paranormal phenomena?
Feeling the emotions of others as
if they were your own?
Psychic sensitivity?
These are often symptoms of the
spontaneous spiritual awakening
known as Kundalini. Mystress can
not only awaken Kundalini, but
also smooth the path of a spontaneous
awakening so it becomes the blissful,
joyous, love experience it is meant
to be.
Are you:
Feeling like there must be more to
life than you've experienced so far?
Awakened and having trouble coming to
terms with your experiences?
Feeling like your spiritual growth has
Somehow become blocked or stalled?
Mystress Angelique Serpent
Shaman, Spiritual Teacher, healer and
Shaktipat Master is bringing her
Wisdom, teaching and amazing energy to
Sweden for the very first time.
Are you looking for a compassionate ear?
Someone who can understand what you are
Going through?
One on one consultations available
Upon request.
Practical advice to mental health and
Healing professionals on managing
Spiritual emergence and emergency in
Their clients.

These are my suggestions for the text sections. The "Fire Serpent
Tantra" portion looks good as it is.
The capitalizing on the indented lines (if they come through indented as
they are when I'm writing this) is an automatic feature of this email
program that I can't figure out how to turn off, so please ignore that.
If you'd like me to cut and paste these into one of the documents you
sent instead, just let me know and I'll do that. Otherwise, I figured
all you'd need was the text and you could place it on the poster
wherever you feel it best fits.
