The Sedona Vortex Experience

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 that Sedona's “towering crimson peaks stimulate sensitivity and are the home of the Great Spirit.”  Amid red rock vortex country, people come face to face with themselves and the potentials of their nature. Author Dick Sutphen says psychic vortex energy in Sedona is “greater than anywhere else in the country,” and Sedona's increased vortex energy rapidly expands higher consciousness.

In the 1950's, a woman named Page Bryant located several major electromagnetic fields of vortex energy in the Sedona area: Boynton Canyon vortex, close to the ancient ruins of Palatki; Bell Rock vortex; Cathedral Rock vortex and Airport Mesa vortex.  There are said to be additional vortexes on Schnebly Hill and Chapel Road close to the Chapel of the Holy Cross as well as in many other areas in Sedona. Some say that the whole of Sedona is one giant vortex or swirl of powerful energy. 

Similar vortex energy centers have been cited in Stonehenge, England, Machu Picchu, Peru, and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.  From as early as 1936, there have been writings suggesting that ley lines (grid lines deep within the earth) are “lines of power” linking prehistoric sites and sources of cosmic vortex energy within the earth. The crossing of ley lines in Sedona is said to create a heightened vortex energy field much like the power of the meridians in the body.

Sedona has long been used by Native Americans for its healing atmosphere and sacred sites. 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. Their sacred ceremonies and offerings of prayer have blessed the land with greater spiritual energy.

Join us in Sedona 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.  Our Sedona Spirit Yoga hike and retreat leaders will assist you to access the peace within and use the amplified vortex energy to help clear any blocks to your full self-expression.  You can use the hike or retreat experience to release the past, heal any old wounds, and open your heart more fully. Our expert vortex yoga hike leaders take you to Sedona's most majestic vortex sites and guide you to quiet your mind, deepen your breathing, stretch your body with gentle yoga, launch intentions for the future, and expand your full aliveness in the present moment. You may choose to engage in a transformational Sedona vortex hike experience with yoga or without any yoga poses.  “Yoga” is actually defined as the union of mind, body and spirit, and that oneness is achieved when you unite your soul essence with Mother Earth in these Sedona power spots.  You can choose to use the Sedona vortex energy to transcend your mind’s limitations and become more fully who you are.
