I think it must not matter completely how you spin them or in what direction since there appears to be multiple successful ways to do it. Here is what I do:

Imagine your spine is a pole, and your chakras are spinning around the pole with the spine being the sort of equator for the chakra.

I spin mine within my body for normal everyday use. But when I'm doing psychic work, I spin them out in a radius of 1-2 feet. And when I'm trying to connect with the time stream I spin them out really far, maybe 10 feet, until I feel like I'm pulsing with energy.
