Sedona Offers Special Energy all its Own

Sedona webSedona Arizona, known for its beautiful red rocks and vortexes, has something of interest to all that come. California free lance writers Anne Z. Cook and Steve Haggerty recently wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times, “Despite its deliberately western connections, Sedona wears a coat of many colors. If you’re a painter, a photographer or a collector, it’s an artists’ colony. To naturalists, hikers, rock climbers, bicyclists and environmentalists, it’s the launch pad for the Coconino National Forest’s pinyon and cypress forests, trails, campsites and peaks. For everyone else who loves this place — poets, folklorists, nature writers, families doing the great American road trip and burned out corporate suits — there’s something that resonates. And if your paranormal radar zings, this is the IT place.”

Since the mid 1980s Sedona vortexes have been promoted as a rich source of spiritual and magnetic energy. Whether you believe in it or not. Experiencing the vortexes first hand may leave you wondering what is out there. Excerpt from the Chicago Sun-Times, “Before driving home we stopped at the Airport Mesa vortex again. As we sat on the summit, an airplane came in for landing, the roar drowning out our voices. But the noise wasn’t enough to discourage a circle of people sitting nearby, touching fingers and determinedly meditating. Close your eyes, breathe deep and feel the energy,” said their leader, a 30-something blonde in a madras skirt, who beckoned us to join her. We smiled and declined. But a bit of the magic rubbed off, anyway”.
