I really enjoyed my weekend in Sedona, AZ. One of my highlights was the Airport Mesa Vortex.
What is a vortex?
A vortex is considered to be an area on the earth where energy is projected out. They tend to be energized and spiritual places on the planet. Sedona has a few different vortexes.
Airport Mesa Vortex
The Airport Mesa vortex is the easiest of the vortexes in Sedona to get to and does not require any hiking. I did need to climb up to the top of a hill, but it is a very short walk. The parking area is only a short drive from the center of Sedona so it does tend to get crowded. If you want to be the only one there, you typically need to get there very early. I woke up early (can you tell?), arrived at 6:30 and the parking area was already full. I waited about 10 minutes for someone to come down from the top and I was able to park. Upon hiking to the top, I found it very crowded and far from peaceful. There were 35+ folks meadering about and having conversations. I found a spot, laid down and meditated attempting to block out the sounds of everyone and feeling the energy. |
After some time, I sat up and found myself conversing with a nice gentleman. He said he came that morning at 4 a.m. so would be able to be there alone. He mentioned it is the only time you can be alone up there. He then started to leave and I went back to meditating.
I laid there, meditating and attempting to be in the moment despite the business of the place. Not 15 minutes later, I opened my eyes and found myself there completely by myself!! It was a magical moment!!
Here is a 360 degree panorama of the Vortex after everyone left!
