Background
A description of the experience
In a circle at the bottom are three hearts out of which three serpents or snakes emerge, each one's head curving around towards the base of the next one's tail. On top of the circle are a man and woman: their bodies are bent at approximately ninety degrees so that together their heads and feet point in the four directions. At each of the four directions is a bird: at the woman's feet (South) is a peacock, at her head (West) a swan, on the man's feet (North) is a crow or black bird, and at his head (East) is an eagle with wings outspread
