Sedona Arizona
Experience A Modern Day Walkabout!!
Sedona is located in Northern Arizona in Red Rock Country.
Red Rock country is an area of maybe 10 miles square, very beautiful and as you might guess the rocks and ground are red.
Once you are out of this area, the terrain varies considerably. It is approximately 90 miles north of Phoenix and 40 miles south of Flagstaff.
The terrain is not unlike southern Indiana, hilly and it has trees such as oak, maple, sycamore and others along Oak Creek, it is in the high desert.
Sedona is a city of about 11,000 people, it is very small townish,with no industry, it is mostly supported by tourism and most of the people living there are involved in the arts, or esoteric studies.
Almost all of the artists living there are very high caliber and some very high caliber art work can be purchased there, most of which is western art ,as well as things of a metaphysical nature.
A lot of people come because of the esoteric influence.
There are five major energy vortices in the area. Bell Rock, Courthouse Butte, Airport Mesa, Boynton Canyon, and Cathedral Rock. A vortex is a power spot where large amounts of energy is emited from the earth, there are many vortices on the earth, but Indian legend states that there are four major areas, two positive, Sedona and Kauai, Hawaii, and two negative , the Bermuda Triangle and Sussex County in England. They are not positive and negative as in good and bad, but as in a battery, as there is no good or bad, that is only in the human mind.
The area has been seen in many old western movies of the 40s and 50s, the area is still used to film videos, commercials, and ads for magazines.
The Indians that live in the area , their legends all say that they came from a land to the west that sank and that they escaped to the red rock country.
Some of the legends describe seeing the land sink and people getting into boats and sailing east, either that or the people were standing on cliffs and watched the land to the west sink.
Legends state that Lemuria sank four different times, the third of which was 80,000 years ago and the final cataclysm took place 12,000 years ago, which roughly corresponds with many Indian legends from all over the world as the time of a great flood and mass migration of many peoples, our own bible also speaks of a great flood. It also corresponds within the same time frame as the sinking of Atlantis.
All in all it is a very interesting and beautiful place to visit , being within driving distance of the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest, there is plenty to keep someone busy for several days.
