Barbara Brennan in her book "Hands of Light" clearly sets out several spinning patterns of the chakras.

CLOCKWISE, 6" diameter
Open and harmonious with clear perception of reality.

CLOCKWISE, ELLIPTICAL, RIGHT 3" diameter
Open. Active/receptive split with active side of personality more developed than receptive. Perception of reality biased towards active, masculine or yang side of dualism.

CLOCKWISE, ELLIPTICAL, LEFT 3" diameter
Open. Active/receptive split with receptive side more developed. Perception of reality biased towards receptive, feminine or yin side of duality.

CLOCKWISE, ELLIPTICAL, VERTICAL, 3" diameter
Open. With some upward displacement of energy toward the spiritual to avoid interaction with people.

CLOCKWISE, ELLIPTICAL, HORIZONTAL, 6" diameter
Open. With some compacting and holding down of energy to avoid energetic interaction with people.[/b]
