What is a Yang Spiral meditation?

This is a great opportunity to explore an amazing form of meditation. Known as the Yang Spiral meditation. This is a meditation which is based on the understanding of the power of the Spiral structure.


Yogis have observed from ancient times that the Universe is manifesting the structure of the Spiral on every level. Starting from the molecular level and until the shape of the galaxies. Also, it has been noticed that the spiral structure generates and propagates specific energies that can be channelled through it.


A yang spiral is a special group meditation using two principles as its basis:


A spiral structure, specifically in the yang direction (counterclockwise) in order to boost the solar, emissive power of its participants (as opposed to a yin, receptive energy that would be emphasized in the opposite formation, but of which most people already have too much; it is generally agreed that people much more frequently and profoundly lack this solar aspect within their beings)



And an astrological configuration in which pairs of each sign (male, female) are positioned in order through the Zodiac, beginning with Aries and the subsequent 11 pairs, then repeating over and over a line-up in this order until all participants have joined the spiral.


In this meditation, the participants are holding hands and are arranged according to the succession of the 12 astrological signs of the zodiac. As a result of this arrangement, complex phenomena of resonance take place both with the beneficial flow of the yang energy and with the beneficial aspects of each of the 12 zodiac signs and of the subtle flow of their respective ruling planets. As a result, the subtle aura of each participant is charged with beneficial energy that balances and heals at a very deep level, accelerating in the same time the spiritual evolution of consciousness.


Directly proportional with the size (area) of the spiral and the number of participants, each person can thus have the direct experience of an intense state of bliss. Each person represents then a miniature replica of the Perfect Cosmic Human Being. During this yang-spiral, each participant (regardless of his or her astrological sign) can experience the beneficial aspects of all the 12 zodiacal signs.


From a general point of view, the archetypal influence that comes during a yang-spiral through each of the astrological signs is the following: Aries channels the primordial impulse and endless enthusiasm; Taurus channels the sustained creative effort; Gemini channels the mysterious polarity of creation; Cancer channels the state of passivity and the power of the water element; Leo channels the energy of life and love in its most expansive form; Virgo channels the power of discernment and intuition; Libra channels the power of sociability and the just middle way (through which contraries are harmonized); Scorpio channels the mysteries of disintegration of matter and profound spiritual transformation; Sagittarius channels the duality between instincts and superior spiritual aspirations and the finding of the way to the source of creation; Capricorn channels the process of transcendence; Aquarius channels the superior spiritual states of consciousness; Pisces channels the power to explore the inner world and to reach the state of spiritual liberation.


Participants hold hands in a particular manner, and dynamic music accompanies the meditation. Usually an individual feels both the current of energy that circulates in a counterclockwise direction through all the participants, as well as a sublimation of the energy within his or her own being toward the higher chakras. The meditation will not only "charge" the area where it has been held for some time, but will also have a lingering, strengthening effect on the participant for up to three months.
