- A lot of people come to Sedona
to tune into this unique
landscape and recharge.
Today, I'm going on a Vortex Tour
that's gonna give me a chance
to tap right into this energy.
(upbeat music playing)
- The word vortex came about in the 80's
to describe some areas
with special energy.
We're gonna go check them out.
(inspirational guitar playing)
- This is the Cathedral,
the Native Americans
use this for a lot of ceremonies.
- Would you be able to tell us,
is there a way to experience the vortex?
- (Guide) Totally.
So just feel the drum.
(inspirational music playing)
(drum and rattle shaking)
- We haven't even made it up to
Cathedral Rock yet and I already
feel different than I
did once I came here,
so, let's keep going.
(upbeat music playing)
- This is the manzanita.
They would have used a little apple
that comes off of it.
So this is, like, their kitchen.
(inspirational music playing)
- Look how beautiful it is.
Our guide just told us
that the Native Americans
used to do their ceremonies
right where we're standing.
So I'm gonna do some meditating
and take it all in and make sure
you do the same when you come here.
So our guide Crystal brought us
to another cool formation of rock.
Over here we have Courthouse Rock
which got it's name from Western movies.
And over here we have Bell Rock
which is also known as Red Rock
and it's known as a masculine vortex
which has some grounding,
fountain of youth
capabilities so if you want to feel young,
this is your guy.
(upbeat music playing)
- So one of the coolest
parts about the tour
is that it's tailor made for who you are.
If you're the type of person that
wants to hear more about
energy and chakras,
she's gonna tell you all about that.
If you want to learn more about nature
or the wildlife, that will happen too.
Just depends on what you want.
(inspirational music playing)
This tree actually reminds me
of my grandmother a little bit.
- Well let me introduce you to her.
She's really one of my favorite ones,
so if you want to go in and
talk to her for a minute.
- I will.
- Yeah, if anyone comes with an open mind,
and they're gonna have a
really great experience.
I got to learn about the geology
and also the meaning of all these,
like, plants and animals so it was
both grounded in science and spirituality
so I think that was a
really wonderful blend.
- Today I got to experience
the magic of this place.
I mean, looking at those rock formations
and vistas had me feeling
peaceful and inspired.
It's no wonder people have been coming
to experience this for thousands of years.
