<P><FONT SIZE=2>My reflections out of a Swedish perspective. :)<BR>
<BR>
Overall layout is good! <BR>
<BR>
"Are you experiencing"<BR>
Personally I think there are a bit too many things here. First thing that struck me was that it may sound a bit cheap or unserious here. Almost as if telling you that if you have head sensations you are having a kundalini awakening. :) Personally I would rewrite it in a way that makes it less a list of detailed symptoms and more about checking wheter the reader is experiencing dramatic and unexplainable changes in his/her life, and then maybe have a few example symptoms. :) A lot of people I know wouldn't take it seriously otherwise.. Which would be a pity, considering the stuff you facilitate!<BR>
<BR>
I would also change "These are the symptoms" to "These may be symptoms of", which would lead the reader more into the mystery of finding out more. And maybe something like "Mystress can bring you onto the path of kundalini awakenening", which would also offer something intriguing!<BR>
<BR>
I can feel the energy behind "Are you looking for a compassionate ear?", but to me it sounds a bit too much like a psychic ad.. >From my own exposure to the swedish yoga and new age "scene" I would rather phrase it as you being someone offering individual guidance and support in spiritual awakening/development. That you are compassionate is definitely good to get in there, but in a different way. :)<BR>
<BR>
"Are you"<BR>
For some reason, my inner voice reacts to "Afraid you are going mad?" As if it doesn't really belong with the rest. The rest is perfect, content-wise, although it's also in my view a bit too much like a bombardment of questions.<BR>
<BR>
In the "Mystress Angelique Serpent" section I would like to see something with relation to Tantra! Because that's what FST is about. I would rather see something along the lines of a tantric guide/master/guru/facilitator or something like that than the part about being an expert in kundalini awakening.. That sounds a bit too academic in my opinion. The stuff I've learned in FST is -definitely- tantra, and giving tantra more emphasis in the whole ad would definitely be a positive thing here. Especially among those already exposed to yoga or spirituality. A lot of people I know here are very intriqued with tantra, especially when I tell them about you being a tantric master/mistress/teacher :) I'd give that more room!<BR>
<BR>
Everybody don't know what kundalini is. So a very short reference to what it is, along with a link or two would be very helpful.. An example. Swami Satyananda refers to K as "The evolutionary force in man".. I am sure you have your own catchy phrases for it. I get the feeling it would help.<BR>
<BR>
Some of these ideas came while typing, others while I was talking with Kimberly about it. She should have credit for most of it. :)<BR>
<BR>
Namaste!<BR>
