Sedona Vortex Tours

The special beauty of Sedona is undeniable. It is the most beautiful place on the Colorado Plateau, which is in turn the single most beautiful natural feature in North America -- and home to the greatest concentration of National Parks and National Monuments in the U.S. Travel more than 15 miles east or west of town and the red rock cliffs quickly vanish.

In addition to being a place of profound natural beauty, Sedona is also a sacred place. In fact, it's the single most visited pilgrimage destination in North America. Many visitors to Sedona are seeking to experience something that must be felt rather than seen: Vortex energy!

The most common question first time visitors to Sedona ask... "What is a vortex?" The simple answer: "vortex" is a scientific term that refers to spiraling energy. A vortex can be created in any substance that flows, such as wind or water. Tornados are an example of a high energy vortex that everyone is familiar with.

Sedona's Vortex is not caused by wind or water, but rather by the energy emanating from the land itself. For those with high levels of spiritual awareness, it's easy to feel this energy in Sedona.

Did Native Americans consider the Sedona area to be sacred?

Is the Sedona Vortex real or just some New Age hoax? While the Vortex is essentially a spiritual phenomenon,
it can also be understood scientifically by considering the geology of the area. Looking at the bigger picture, Sedona sits right at the base of the Colorado Plateau, a huge chunk of the Earth's crust that has been rising for millions of years. Originally rising to a height of almost 15,000 feet, the Colorado Plateau is one of the greatest geologic uplifts in Earth's history.

The town is also due south of the San Francisco Peaks... and connected to this massive volcano by the geologically active Oak Creek fault. There are actually over 600 volcanoes surrounding Sedona, some erupting molten lava as far back as 9 million years ago; others as recently as 1000 years ago. The largest of these, the San Francisco Peaks, are considered to be sacred by the Hopi people, who claim the mountain is home to the Kachina spirits.

Sedona is also located between Montezuma's Well and Boynton Canyon. These two sites have been considered sacred by Arizona tribes for thousands of years. Montezuma's Well is said to be the "Place of Emergence." Geologists now tell us that the bottom of the well contains a geologic mystery. It is a place unlike any other on Earth, where spring water turns layers of silica into a swirling pattern of concentric circles. If Montezuma's Well is the Place of Emergence, then Boynton Canyon is their Garden of Eden: the place where First Woman lived with her son.

Millions of visitors to Sedona have reported remarkable experiences here. What can be said with absolute clarity is that the land around Sedona induces anything from a heightened sense of awareness to feelings of profound spiritual enlightenment. When the experiences of all these people are considered together, it seems certain that something very special is going on in Sedona.

Add to that incredible celestial displays -- some of the most frequent and convincing UFO sightings ever reported -- and you have one of the most truly intriguing supernatural places on earth! Many locals are now convinced the Vortex is really a portal between our dimension and a higher level of consciousness.

Nowhere else is there such a concentration of Earth's power and beauty as in Sedona. The entire valley is one large vortex, and there are numerous sites around town where visitors can connect and interact with it. The Sedona Vortex seems to act as a subtle amplifier, magnifying and accelerating whatever energies you bring to it. For those who are ready to connect with the spiritual mystery of life, Vortex energy can flow through them in waves of pure joy and blissful connectedness. Others feel nothing at all. For most visitors to Sedona the Vortex is a more subtle experience, but often one in which their own intuitive ability is augmented, allowing them to gain unexpected insight into their own lives. That's what makes Sedona the ideal location for a spiritual or healing retreat.
