The Vortexes
If you are interested in energy work of any kind be sure to check out the vortexes while visiting Sedona. It is said that these “cyclones of energy,” can be felt emanating directly from the earth through a number unusual rock formations. Each of the four vortexes is said to emanate its own unique source of energy that impacts the visitor in different ways. From boosting self-confidence, to impacting a person’s level of compassion, the energy emitted can have a powerful, positive impact.
