1. 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)
2. 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.

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.
