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

    1. a spiral structure, specifically in the yang direction (counterclockwise) inorder 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

    The yang-spiral expresses the luminous, solar, dynamic and optimisticenergy. When moving along the arm of this spiral in acounterclockwise sense, it is just natural to reach the center, which

    represents the Source of Creation from which everything that exists

    started and to which it will return. The yang-spiral thus represents the

    circular centripetal movement of returning to the Center.The yang-spiral is related to the movement of spiritual evolution

    leading to liberation from the cycle of reincarnations, while the yin-

    spiral is related to the movement of involution and chaining to thereincarnation wheel, since it gets further away from the Center.

    The spiral is often seen in nature: the snail shell is a well known

    example. The symbolism of the spiral is scientifically funded by the

    mathematical theory of the logarithmic spiral and of the Golden

    Number, or Fibonacci series. This Golden Number was discovered by

    the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (c. 1170 - c. 1240), also

    called Leonardo of Pisa.

    Fibonacci numbers have many interesting properties and are widelyused in mathematics. Natural patterns, such as the spiral growth of

    leaves on some trees, often exhibit the Fibonacci series. A corolary of

    this is the well-known fractal structures and the discovery of fractal

    geometry.

    The yang spiral meditations

    In this meditation the participants (paired up man-woman) 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 beneficent

    influx of the yang energy and with the beneficial aspects of each of the

    12 zodiac signs and of the subtle influx 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 Perfected Cosmic Human Being. During this yang-spiral, each

    participant (no matter 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 attachment;

    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;

    Sagitarius channels the duality between instincts and superior spiritual

    aspirations and the finding of the way toward the source of creation;

    Capricorn channels the process of transcendance;

    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;
