Hmm.. A few possibilities could be: 

* Something meditative. A face closeup with eyes closed and a
photoshopped effect showing an illumined third eye.

* Picture showing the Buddha way of giving and receiving energy which
you have showed before, right hand held up and out, left hand resting,
receiving.

* I received an image of "The whole world within you", but it's kind of
abstract. Maybe sitting inside an earth/earth crystal, or an entire
world resting in the torso. Or maybe light radiating from the heart
center.. It would probably look nice if you are posed with hands held
out in an open/opening gesture.

* You could also skip the personal photograph all together (since you
already have one elsewhere on the page) and go for something more
symbolic, maybe a chakra lotus flower.. I saw an image in a
meditative/lucid dream once that looked like the 16 petals of the throat
chakra, but it expanded inwards, showing how even the lotuses exist in
infinite depths of dimensions. Kinda looks a bit lika yantra.  Maybe you
have a favourite yantra/mandala. :) 

* Something representing the grounding cord.  Unfortunately that would
probably require some redesign of the page, since a grounding picture
would be tall, rather than wide.

I couldn't view the second link, but the first one gave me a very good
first impression. It feels easier to read than the old page. Pleasing to
the eye somehow.

I will get back to you if something comes up. :)
