Sedona sits at the mouth of the massive
Oak Creek Canyon a cousin of the grand canyon due to its prolific
views. Long before Sedona became a 19 square mile community it served
various native american tribes. Those tribes believed in the mystical
but some of them believed they emerged from below the ground this may
be why many theorize the vortexes found in the area come from our inner
earth.
There are many reasons to visit the region whether your into scenic
sites or the paranormal I highly reccommend taking a pilgramage here.
Granted Sedona is all about the tourism here such as tarot readings,
gift shops, hiking and vortex tours. No matter where you are going to
go here tours take place everywhere. If your looking for seclusion you
will not get it here that is the downfall to visiting this region. I am
not saying you cannot explore some of the more less known about
locations but just be prepared to see pink jeep tours passing you by or
you might climb some rocks only to find a person meditating on them.
I spent many years trying to get up here and its the type of place you
can never visit just one time there is so many places to explore. Over
the years I have read about invisible beings, UFO's, vortexes, aliens
and even bigfoot sightings in this area. I had to visit here just to
see if all the hype is true or if it is the will of others to want to
see something. More or less what it comes down to is the land here is
sacred and has been for thousands of years. I find with sacred sites
there is often something unseen or supernatural force at work.
The beauty of the mesas and wildlife surprasses just about any place I
have explored or investigated. I was a bit disappointed with a few
things surrounding Sedona. I was disappointed that if this town is so
paranormally active why is everything closed at night. If your
UFOlogist forget about skywatching in certain locations as by 4pm most
locations are gated and closed for the night. This also goes with all
the psychic readings and pricey tours. I seen a site that wanted to
charge children 65 dollars per kid and 120 dollars per adult just to
hike three miles something generally most visitors can do without a
guide since most trails are very well maintained.
I have always wanted to smoke a joint overlooking Sedona and I did just
that I had dinner on a mesa then sparked one up pondering my own
theories about this sacred location. Not everything I do as the founder
will be about gathering paranormal evidence. Sometimes for me touring a
location and sharing it with our viewers leaves the mind to wander. We
hope this additon to our site will allow you to do just that.
I do believe certain locations in our world are points of interest or
ley lines much like Cassadaga is rumored to be. I do believe in
vortexes or as some call them worm holes or gateways to other
dimensions. Nobody scientifically understands these types of phenomena
but in theory some believe that they are used by alien races to travel
to and from. Others theorize that vortexes are not gateways at all but
rather unseen energies which can rejuvinate someones soul or even
physique. A theory of mine might be that so many are praying and
applying there energies towards a common cause that this might be felt
by those making pilgramages to such sites. That is at least my theory
that I for now will be focusing on when it comes to red rock country.
You have thousands to millions of souls visiting these vortex sites all
meditating, praying and conditioning there souls. That energy then can
be felt by those who seek it out hope this makes sense.
It is not cheap to visit these locations every single one of them cost
7 dollars or you can just by a pass which is what I did so I could hike
around at various locations. Despite all the shops and businesses
the entire area is surrounded with lush beauty and red cliffs. This is
what Sedona is all about is its Red Rock which at one time boasted
cliff dwellers. There are so many trails that weave in and out of
rock formations and many sites throughout the town you get the best of
both worlds here.
Within minutes to an hour away there are many cultaral sites such as
pueblos......cliff dwellings and even one of the most haunted ghost
towns in all of Arizona. Adventure in this region has NO LIMITS and
anything is possible. Further below is a more in depth history and a
few maps to get you started feel free to enjoy the photos along with
anything else we have to offer. I hope to make a few more
pilgramages here and eventually discover some of the more deeper
paranormal secrets which are said to surround the area. You can
read more about energy grids and ley lines at http://www.crystalinks.com/grids.html It has some pretty interesting scientific data what secrets do all these ancient sites contain?

The human aspect of Sedona history goes back as
far as ten thousand years ago, when archaeologists believe
hunter-gatherers first roamed the area, looking for sustenance in the red
rock canyons. Of course the actual town of Sedona Arizona is a much more recent
phenomenon, and even in the scale of US towns and cities, is very very new.
Sedona Arizona was incorporated in 1988, making it a fresh young face on the
scene. Since then, and into the 1990s and still today, Sedona has gone from an
area of cave shelters for roaming ancient tribes, to a sleepy artists' community
outpost, to a rapidly growing town with rampant development of planned
communities and shopping. Some see the
unplanned expansion of Sedona is its downfall, but the beauty of the canyons and
the red rock can never be diminished, even by ever encroaching development and
increasing human population. The trails are still here, the landscape hasn't
changed, and the rocks are still just as red as they were thousands of years ago
when humans first came here in search of food.
Prehistoric Sedona, Arizona
Archaeologists have long debated just how long humans have been
living on the North American Continent. While some estimate that human life on
this continent dates back forty thousand years, evidenced by recent
archaeological findings, most theorize that the first to wander across the
Bering Straight were the Clovis hunters, twelve thousand years ago, when the
ice-age was coming to a close. With warmer temperatures associated with the end
of the ice age, the mammoth animals began to die out, and smaller animals began
to dominate. These were deer and antelope, and were now sought by human hunters
for food. Groups of humans traveled across the lands, following the small game,
going when the seasons changed, to better hunting grounds, moving with
the animals as they roamed according to the season. The animals were following
the different plants in varying areas, which thrived according to what season it
was. Plants follow the seasons, animals followed plants, and humans followed the
animals.
The men and women, when they were in the Sedona Arizona
area, stayed in the canyon caves, which provided excellent shelter from the
elements and from predators. They left very little for archaeologists to
discover, but at Red Cliffs they left markings on the walls, which tell
us so much about their culture and their daily existence. The Red Cliffs are
about a twenty minute drive northwest of the city,
and show a Sedona history of ancient peoples in the area. There are
markings from ancient hunter gatherers, petroglyphs from paleo-indians, and
geometric markings from relatively more recent peoples, from the archaic period,
which lasted until just about one thousand years ago.
Technological advances came with adaptation to the
landscape, which mainly meant a switch from a hunter-gatherer society to a more
stable, agricultural way of life. As people learned to plant crops and take care
of them, they began to build more permanent structures, to create tools to help
them with their farming, and tools to help them process their food, such as
grinding stones for corn. This occurred in Sedona Arizona in the seventh century
A.D. The agriculture people in this area are called Sinagua by today's
archaeologists. They are called the Sinagua because they lived around the San
Francisco Peaks, which the Spanish called Sierra sin Agua...Mountains
without Water. The Sinagua built little clusters of pit houses at first,
throughout Red Rock Country, and later on, beginning around A.C. 1100, built
pueblos made of red stone to live in. Sometimes they'd build the pueblos into
the red rock canyon walls. They grew mostly corn, squash, and beans. They made
pottery from the red clay, and traded it for pots and jewelry with the
Hohokam and Anasazi peoples, who lived nearby. The villages were
typified by the villages of Honoanki and Palatki, where clans existed and left
their marks on the red rock walls. They depicted humans and animals drawn in
kaolin clay, which is found in the area.
Around A.D. 1300 the Sinagua moved from their pueblos and
canyon alcoves to more riparian areas around Wet Beaver Creek, for example.
These areas were on hilltops and the water flowed year round. Examples of these
villages are Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot. There were about five
thousand Sinagua in the area at this time, in their hilltop period of existence.
They traded with each other via the Palatkwapi trail, which ran north and south,
and along which cotton was traded for items from as far away as Mexico. The
hilltop villages lasted only about one hundred years, and then they were
abruptly abandoned, and it's believed that the large clans migrated to Chavez
Pass and the Hopi areas of Arizona, on the mesas. We really don't know why they
left their riparian hilltop villages, and can only speculate about invasions,
resource depletion, and drought, even though there is no evidence for any of
these explanations. The Hopi people themselves say that their deity told them to
move on, fulfilling the desire that they leave their footprints all over the
earth. Migration was they were supposed to do in order to be good spiritual
citizens.
There was another group of people living in the Sedona
Arizona area around A.D. 1300, and they were the Yavapai people. They
settled in the Verde Valley and were descendants of the Patayan culture
which centered itself in the Colorado River valley. They may have lived side by
side with the Sinagua at one time, since scientists have found camps from both
cultures right next to each other. The Yavapai were hunter gatherers, but had
territories on which they roamed. The subsection of Yavapai whose territory
included Sedona were the Wipukapaya. This translates to people of the
red rocks. They lived in light brushy structures and moved around to catch
game. They also ate prickly pear fruit and green plants found growing in the
springtime. Also gathered by the Yavapai people was agave, which some people
call century plant. They roasted it over a fire for days and considered it a
delicacy. Actually, they used almost every part of the plant, either for food,
for medicine, for face paint, or for woven fibers for
baskets and other light items for daily living. The large roasting pit was for
more than just roasting agave, however. It was the center of life, around which
the Yavapai people gathered at night to perform ceremonies, tell stories, to
meet people and socialize.
One symbol used by the Yavapai people was a circle
divided into four parts, which looked a bit like a cross in a circle. When the
Spanish arrived in the late sixteenth century, they thought this symbol perhaps
meant the Yavapai people had already found Jesus, so they did not try to convert
them. They called them pueblo del cruzado, or people of the cross. All
was relatively peaceful with the Yavapai until a few hundred years later, in the
1800s when the trappers, scouts and prospectors arrived. This latter
bunch really did wreak some havoc and broke things up for the Yavapai people,
because they discovered gold in the area, which attracted lots more people. Then
they plowed and fenced in lots of the land, disrupting the migration patterns of
animals and people alike. Conflict arose, which prompted establishment of
a military fort in the area. Camp Lincoln was built in 1865, and later became
Fort Verde. Eventually the Yavapai were run off the land and herded onto
the Rio Verde Reservation. Some years later
they did return to their land, but their way of life was completely altered,
Sedona was a farming community, and Jerome was a booming mine town. Yavapai
traditions had vanished and a new culture of people had arrived in Sedona,
Arizona.
Sedona history dates back a few centuries. Today we can
visit Oak Creek Canyon and find lots to do, and lots of people who love nature
and who have traveled to the Sedona Arizona area to enjoy the outdoors, the
scenery, and the resorts in the area. In
autumn, the leaves change color, and leaf-peepers come from all over to see the
bright colors of Fall. There are lots of people sometimes, reminding us that the
Sedona Arizona area is loved by many people, and it is a valuable natural
resource for all to enjoy. It's also the place of history, where Sedona
history comes alive and the story of settlers and pioneers is the story of
settling of the West by Europeans told in so many towns across the American West and Southwest.
The First European Pioneers
Pioneers & Indians
There was a time, more than a century ago, when Oak Creek
Canyon and all the areas around Sedona Arizona were uncharted, untamed
wilderness, and those European pioneers who first ventured out here had battles
and struggles ahead of them, until the rough edges were smoothed out to make way
for more and more settlers. There were Apache and Yavapai indians here in the
1870s, until they were herded out to the San Carlos Reservation by US soldiers,
to make way for white people to move in on the land and farm it, mine it, and
explore it. The Indians eventually came back, but never again followed their
traditional way of life as they had before Europeans arrived and sent them to
the reservations.
Abundant Natural Resources
The natural resources and wildlife seem abundant and
beautiful now, but back then this was really the case, more so than today. The
creeks were jammed with trout, and deer and bears were everywhere in the
forests, making pathways to the creeks. Plants were lush and bountiful and you
could get berries without much effort, along the banks of the creeks. Gardening and gaming were
prolific, but socializing was sparse. Companionship was difficult to come by in
the early days of settlement and pioneers. Life was hard, and the land, though
bountiful, was unforgiving.
The Community of Red Rock
The first man to settle in Oak Creek Canyon was J.J. Thompson,
claiming land he called Indian Gardens, and building log cabins. He raised a
family here too, and they lived part time at what we call today Uptown. Other
families arrived, settling in Crimson Cliffs, near Cathedral Rock, and other
niches, and the whole area in general became known as Red Rock. It was a
loosely-strung community, with houses far apart, and not much time for
socializing, but a community of farming neighbors nevertheless. The Thompsons,
the Lees who settled near Cathedral Rock, teh Abraham James family at Crimson
Cliffs and the Schuermans in the area as well, put down roots in Red Rock, and
their ranches and farms grew. In 1891 a school was built to educate all the
children these and a few other families were producing, and the area was
starting to look like a real town. They also soon found growing markets for
their produce and their livestock in Jerome, which would become the biggest town
in Arizona for a while, with booming mining operations. They also sold goods to
markets in Flagstaff, further north.
Sedona, Arizona is Born
Munds Trail played a very important role in Sedona history.
It was the main route from Red Rock to Flagstaff, and because a much-used
trading route, so much so that in 1902 the government established a post office
here at the request of T.C. Carl Schnebly. Schnebly lived with his wife in a
nice home on the creek between Oak Creek Canyon and Red Rock. The house was
right on the end of Munds Trail, and people stayed at their home sometimes on
the way to trading destinations towards Flagstaff. Carl was the one who applied
to have the Post Office established in his own name, so it would be called
"Schnebly Station". The US Government said yes to the Post Office but no to the
name, which was too long to put on a cancellation stamp. So, Carl used his
wife's name and named the Post Office "Sedona". Thus, the little town formerly
known as Red Rock was now more or less officially called "Sedona". They gave the
name to Sedona but actually left after a few years in town, grieving the death
of their daughter, who died in a horseback accident.
Sedona Grows
The Agricultural Industry in Sedona,
Arizona
Munds Trail became known as Schnebly Hill
Road, even after the family left, and later owners of the farm grew
strawberries, vegetables, peaches, and apples. This was the Jordan family. They
also blasted a ditch form Wilson Canyon to their barn, to carry water to their
farm. Their well was the first water system in Sedona, as well. The Sedona farms
and ranches suffered a lot during the Great Depression in the 1930s. This
prompted them to form a farming cooperative, whereby small farms and orchards
deliverd their produce to the Jordan Family's barn. Then George
Jordan delivered everyone's produce to markets in Flagstaff, Williams,
Clarkdale, and Jerome. Sometimes he even went to Phoenix. They also ran a
produce stoer at the north end of Uptown. In later years, produce from Sedona
would win prizes at the Arizona State Fair and it would feed troups in World War
II.
The Community of Sedona Blossoms
The small town of Sedona worked hard through the years to work the
land and live life as best as possible. They worked hard and they played hard as
well. It was a tight-knit community and Saturday nights were full of rockin'
good times. People would gather from all over the area gathered at the Brewer
Road School for dancing and partying all night long. Men played the fiddle and
accordians and women brought buckets and buckets of food and they all ate dinner
at midnight. Coffee brewed on the fire all night and kept the settlers and
farmers going all night, dancing while the kid slept in the corners of their
school. Things really got exciting, especially for the local teenage girls, when
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers came to
town and joined in the dances. There were two to three hundred of them in Sedona
Arizona at one time, hosed in Barracks. They did things like fight forest fires,
build fences to keep cattle contained, and spruced up campgrounds and made
signs.
The Movies in Sedona, Arizona
Sedona, Arizona and Oak Creek Canyon are known for their
breathtaking red rock landscape and gorgeous scenery. Hollywood loved Sedona,
Arizona as a setting for western movies, and beginning in teh 1930s, many movies
were shot here. Lots of Sedona Arizona people found jobs in the movies when
crews came to town to film the latest western. Some titles filmed in Sedona,
Arizona area in the 1930s through the 1960s were:
Sedona: Arizona's Gorgeous Red Rock Country - History and
Lore
Guest Contributor: F. Ruth Jordan
The Creation of the Famous Sedona Red Rocks
Massive
red-rock monoliths bearing the descriptive names of Bell Rock, Courthouse,
Church House and Steamboat stand as sentinels guarding the town snuggled under
the dominating and awesome Mogollon Rim, the southwestern boundary of the
Colorado Plateau. This rugged, geological uplift, dotted with stalwart volcanic
cones reaching nearly 13,000 feet in height, speaks of eons of cataclysmic
activity. Fossilized sea shells and dinosaur tracks, embedded when the sandstone
was merely mud, leads one to imagine how the area appeared during a much wetter
period and to conjecture on the forces that shaped this magnificent and stunning
locale.
The Ancient Ones Inhabit Sedona
It is
believed that among the first human beings to wander into this breathtaking
setting were those from a sub-culture of the Ancient Ones, (Anasazis)
approximately 1100, A.D. These Sinaguans, inhabited the area for about 300
years, building cliff houses, farming, hunting and gathering native plants for
substance and clothing. Although there are several theories, the cause of their
mysterious disappearance has never been explained to the complete satisfaction
of historians. Sometime, following the Ancient Ones’ departure, other groups
filtered into Oak Creek Canyon and the adjoining Verde Valley. They became known
as the Yavapai and Apache Indians, and continue to be there today. Although
varying ideas of their background and origin exist among scholars, both tribes
were definitely roaming and inhabiting the same places, even using some of the
same farming spots and irrigation ditches developed by those who had gone
before. Remnants of this early civilization can still be viewed by visitors to
the ruins of cliff dwellings which continue to display rock-art carved on the
walls by these first inhabitants.
Discovery of Beautiful
Sedona
Although the Spaniards passed near by in the late
1500s and the Mountain Men "barely stuck their toes" into the northern edge of
the territory during the 1800s, J. J. Thompson was the first "white man" to
actually settle here. In 1862 he began homesteading, upstream from the current
town, in the breathtaking chasm of Oak Creek where, even in today’s "tech world"
a certain aura of wilderness and tranquility remains. A fertile patch of ground
with spring water for thirsty plants became a site for the raising of his crops,
the same spot previously farmed by the Singuans and Yavapais.
More Pioneers Arrive and Sedona is Named
A
few years later other pioneers moved into the canyon and surrounding territory,
including T. C. and Sedona Schnebly who arrived from Colorado in 1901. When
names for the planned post office were rejected by the U. S. Postal Department,
T. C. and his brother, Ellsworth, submitted the name Sedona, who was the first
postmistress. And so it has remained for over a century. One of the Schnebly
granddaughters refers to her grandfather as the town’s "First Chamber of
Commerce President." Even in early years when horses were the mode of
transportation, he would stop and talk with any person he didn’t recognize as
living in the area. He invariably brought them home for tea and Mrs. Schnebly’s
gracious hospitality was likened to present day "Bed and
Breakfast."
Schnebley's Road
Another
contribution accredited to the Schnebly’s was the first “real road” built up the
mountains to Flagstaff. It was an arduous journey, be it wet and muddy, or dry
and dusty. None-the-less, a road which wagons could actually maneuver was a
great improvement over bringing everything down zig-zag trails so steep that
they were referred to as ladders. With some slight changes, it is still
navigable in the 21st century by most vehicles.
An Agricultural
Paradise
Cattle ranchers, orchardists, and artists were
among those who continued to find this bit of paradise, to settle down, and to
make it home, bringing with them diverse skills, talents and dreams. Gradually a
community formed, a school was opened, and a Sunday School organized drawing
folks into joint activities and plans.
Sleepy Sedona Becomes
Famous
Among memorable happenings in Sedona are: the filming
of numerous movies, a majority being westerns, and becoming the location of the
founding of one of the country’s most successful art organizations: Cowboy
Artists of America. Sedona now boasts a wide variety of cultural opportunities;
tours and excursions, including those to Indian ruins; Sedona Arts Center,
housed in a former apple packing shed; Sedona Heritage Museum, located at Jordan
Memorial Park, registered as an Historic Farmstead and depicting “life as it
used to be;” numerous outdoor activities, biking, hiking, horseback riding,
birding, tennis, etc.; along with all of this, enormous choices of shopping,
dining, and many types of lodging, including exquisite
resorts.
From Hopi Ancestors to a Bustling Tourist
Mecca
Palakwapi, the Hopi word for "place in the red rocks,"
has emerged into a town with stop lights and at times more people than the
streets can accommodate. Even so, it still fills one’s senses with awe when
viewing the picturesque red cliffs accented by trees of deep green framed
against a backdrop of azure sky. Sedona is, and always will be, unique,
inspiring and breathtaking!
The Beauty of Sedona Designated
#1
Sedona, sitting at the edge of the babbling brook of Oak
Creek, is known throughout the world as a unique place that has become a tourist
mecca. A recent survey in USA WEEKEND Magazine called Sedona "The Number One
Most Beautiful Place in America!"
About the Author: Author F.
Ruth Jordan (Jackson/Van Epps), author of Following Their Westward Star, was born and raised on a farm in
Sedona, Arizona. As an adult she lived and worked among the Navajo and Hopi for
a number of years. After returning to Arizona State University to earn her
masters’ degrees in education and counseling, she began teaching college courses
in Arizona history and conducting historical tours of the State. She started Following Their Westward Star in 1992, as a memorial to her
father and to her beloved aunt, Helen Jordan, whose paintings illustrate the
book.
Many
people visit Sedona to explore its metaphysical dimensions, especially
its vortexes.
Page
Bryant coined the name “vortex” in 1980 for areas in Sedona that
have highly concentrated energies conducive to prayer, meditation and
healing.
Although
the idea of a vortex in Sedona is relatively new, Sedona has been known
as a sacred place long before that time. For hundreds of years, Native
Americans have performed ceremony in Sedona, and some tribes continue to
this day. “Sedona as a
whole is a vortex, with the energy spread throughout it like a bowl,”
says adventure guide and author Dennis Andres in his book "What
Is a Vortex."
Nonetheless,
the term “vortex” has taken hold because it helps to explain
people’s experiences of well being at the sites that Bryant
identified. Some scientists, such as Pete Sanders, Jr., believe that
scientific string theory can help explain what happens at vortexes in
dimensions beyond ordinary perception. In
his book "Scientific
Vortex Information" he says,
“Even though we cannot measure those dimensions yet, you can still
experience them because you exist in them.…and so do the vortex sites.What is happening at the vortex sites is energy flow in those
deeper dimensions.You have
the inner ability to measure, feel, find and tap that energy.”
What
is the definition of “vortex”?
The term vortex
refers to its less common definition:
“A place or situation regarded as drawing into its center all that
surrounds it.”In other words, a vortex is a site where the
energy of an area is concentrated.Because Sedona as a whole is known to be a spiritual power spot,
a vortex site in Sedona is a place where one can feel Sedona’s
spiritual energy most strongly. Page Bryant, a medium, came up with the
term while she was investigating sacred locations in the area.
What
are the commonly identified vortexes in Sedona?
The commonly
identified vortex areas are
Airport
Mesa. Closest to the Uptown area of
Sedona, it offers panoramic views.
Bell
Rock. Adjoining the Village of Oak
Creek, it has an easily identifiable bell- shape formation.
Boynton
Canyon. Still a site for annual Native
American ceremonies, this vortex is off Dry Creek Road in West
Sedona and offers the longest hike of the four main vortex
sites—up to three hours round trip.
Cathedral
Rock. Located on Lower Red Rock Loop
Road, it is the most photographed site in Sedona.The cathedral-like structure rises above Oak Creek.
“We consider
these four areas just a fraction of the energy sources and sites that
you can tap in Sedona,” says Sanders. Other special places to connect
with the sacred energy of Sedona include The Chapel of the Holy Cross,
Schnebly Hill, West Fork and the Amitabha Stupa.
Are
all vortexes the same?
Opinions differ.Some people say that all vortexes are equal in their ability
to amplify energies; others will tell you that there are different
qualities at different sites.Pete
Sanders identifies some sites as upflow vortexes (where energy rises out
of the earth); others as inflow vortexes (where energy flows into the
earth)
Upflow vortexes,
such as mountains, mesas and pyramidal-type typography, are useful when
one wishes to view life from a higher plane, to develop a more universal
perspective or to send a prayer or affirmation out into the world.
According to Sanders, upflow vortex sites make people feel positive,
exhilarated and rejuvenated. “They literally unwind you and help you
tap that universal oneness and harmony,” he says. Bell Rock is an
example of an upflow vortex.
Inflow vortexes,
such as valleys, canyons and caves, are good for introspection and
spiritual problem solving.“If
you want to understand and/or heal something from your past or go inward
for past-life memory, those skills will be enhanced in an inflow
vortex,” says Sanders. Boynton Canyon is an example of an inflow
vortex. According to Sanders, most of Sedona (excluding cliffs and
mesas) is a huge inflow area because it lies in a valley cut by Oak
Creek.
How
do I find the vortex spot when I get to the site?
There is no
“x” that marks the spot.The
entire area is considered to be a vortex.This makes it much more accessible.A visitor can decide to linger at the base, take a gentle walk or
climb to the apex.
How
will I experience a vortex?
Each person will
experience a vortex differently.Possibilities
include
new insights
intense feelings of joy or
release
sense of wellbeing
a physical healing
new or heightened spiritual
awareness.
After working
with nearly 5,000 people, Andres has observed that Sedona encourages all
kinds of shifts and that vortexes are real.“But unless you trust your own ability to sense,” says
Andres, “it may be difficult to tell what, if anything, is really
happening.”
Why
doesn’t everyone feel the same effect?
Everyone is
different and so are their experiences.While one person might see colors or energetic swirls, another
might simply feel more supported and uplifted.
What
can I do at a vortex?
Sitting quietly
and experiencing what the site has to offer is the simplest and most
direct way to interact with a vortex.Meditations, breathing exercises, ceremonies and visualizations
are additional ways to experience Sedona’s vortexes. In their books
Andres and Sanders offer suggestions that have helped people explore the
vortexes’ unfamiliar energies.
