The beauty of Sedona goes far beyond what meets the eye.
This endless beauty is accompanied by a healing heart. For centuries, Sedona was revered as a place of power and sacredness. It is like a cathedral without walls. This is Stonehenge before it was built. The mysterious cosmic forces said to emanate from the red rocks attract visitors from around the world. These visitors seek out the vortexes.

But what is a vortex? There are swirling centers of energy in Sedona, called vortexes (the proper grammatical form of the word “vortex” is seldom used). These centers are thought to promote healing, meditation, and self-discovery. They are places where the earth is particularly vibrant. After visiting a vortex, many people feel inspired, energized, or uplifted.
A vortex is an energy field of concentrated energy that swirls around in a whirlpool-like motion. Throughout Sedona, there are many vortexes with different types of energy including feminine energy, masculine energy, a balance between both energies, as well as subtle or powerful energies.
In addition, these vortexes are believed to offer healing properties and are popular destinations for meditation, self-exploration, and the development of psychic abilities. In their own words, people who have experienced vortexes have described this feeling:
There are specific locations in Sedona where the energy crackles more intensely even though the entire area is considered a vortex. Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Boynton Canyon are the four best-known Sedona vortexes. They each emit their own unique energy. Energy from some sources flows upward while energy from others spirals downward, entering the earth.

It is not uncommon to see people meditating, practicing yoga, or performing other rituals at vortex sites. Kindly respect these activities. Vortex tours are offered by several companies, individual guides, and healing practitioners. Anyone can also visit on their own. Maps and directions are available at the visitor center for all vortex sites. Come with an open mind and see what happens.
Life can be transformed in Sedona. There is no doubt about that. You automatically experience a renewed sense of wonder when you see the raw physical beauty of the landscape. Let yourself be amazed. Take it all in. A place that inspires, recharges, uplifts, soothes, restores, and much more. A spiritual awakening can be triggered by simply being here. A person does not leave Sedona unchanged.
