What's a Vortex you ask?   To ancient Indian tribes, the red rock valley of Sedona was sacred land only to be used for special rites and ceremonies.   Long ago, they established the locations of focused power, the vortices. A vortex is considered a place of energy and may be either positively or negatively charged and is considered masculine or feminine. These ancient sites are visited daily and a number of the "vortexes" in the Sedona area are within an easy drive and a short walk.   These concentrations of the earth's power have inspired many a visitor's spiritual Sedona experience.   Nearby vortexes include Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, and Airport Mesa.   A search on the web for Sedona Vortexes will turn up a number of sites offering information, maps and even guided tours.
