About Sedona Arizona

Yoga and meditation in Sedona Legend says that Sedona is one of the “power spots” of the world, and that its red rock country is a vortex of energy. Indians tell us “the towering crimson peaks stimulate sensitivity and are the home of the Great Spirit.” Amid red rock country, people come face to face with themselves and the potentials of their nature. Author Dick Sutphen says psychic energy in Sedona is “greater than anywhere else in the country,” and the increased energy rapidly expands higher consciousness.

In the 1950's, a woman named Page Bryant found energy centers, electromagnetic fields of energy, in the Sedona area: Boynton Canyon close to the ancient ruins of Palatki, on the north side of Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Rachel's Knoll, Airport Mesa, and Chapel Road close to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Similar energy centers have been cited in Stonehenge, England, Machu Picchu, Peru, and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

Sedona has long been used by Native Americans for its healing atmosphere and sacred areas. The Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon area has been sacred to aboriginal people since prehistoric times. The Hopi, Navajo and their ancestors, as well as natives from Canada and Central America would journey here for healing and learning. Join us to discover the unique effect of this vortex energy that is said to accelerate healing, promote clarity and insight, and forward you on your journey.
