I heard the following in the "Purification of the Heart Series" tape #1.

The heart is centered slightly to the left in the human being.  This is why the tawaf is done with the left side facing the house of Allah SWT.  Some of the scholars have said that the heart inclines towards the left and so the purpose for this [anti-clockwiseness] is that the heart is inclining towards the kaabah.

Side note: Also, the Arabic language is a movement from left to right
writing should be towards the heart [the whole purpose of writing is to affect the heart].

w'Allahu a3lam

that article was so awsome! I was amazed to find out that basically everything rotates counter clockwise, from electrons to all of the planets.
