Movement and Rotation

The chakras are constantly in a state of rotation.
This is why they are called "chakras" which in Sanskrit means "wheel".
It is their rotating which attracts energy and draws it in or gives it off, depending
on the direction of rotation.

The chakras rotate either to the right (clockwise) or to the left, depending on sex,
thus enabling the energies of man and woman to complement each other. This is
because the chakras that turn to the right in a man rotate in the
opposite direction in a woman, and vice versa.

Every clockwise rotation is primarily male, or, in accordance with Chinese teaching,
Yang, in nature, meaning that it represents will power and activity as well the more negative characteristics of aggression and force. Every counter-clock wise rotation is female or Yin in nature, and represents represents receptiveness and agreement, as well as the more negative characteristic of weakness every area of life.

Knowledge of the rotational direction of the chakras can play a role in several forms of therapy. When using AROMA THERAPY for instance, you may wish to apply fragrances in circular movements corresponding to the chakra, or, if you are working with gemstones,GEM THERAPY you can again follow the direction of the energy center in question.
