The Story of the Twisted Tree

Sedona Arizona is known in part for their energy vortexes.  Apparently there are certain areas where there is a high concentration of energy.  Learn more about the vortexes here.  On my recent trip to Sedona my mother and I traveled to two of the vortexes.  The picture above was taken at the Airport Vortex, and we later hiked to the Bell Rock Vortex.  They say that you know when you are near a vortex when you see the twisted juniper trees, like the one above.  

After leaving the first vortex I felt a feeling of sadness and anger come  over me.  It was subtle at first, but got increasingly tangible as time passed.  I felt depressed and upset, though I didn't know why.   We went to the next vortex and hiked around for an hour and a half or so.  Upon returning to the car I started to feel ill.  Waves of nausea came over me and I also felt anxious and weak.   I felt ill until we visited an herbalist who gave me various tonics to calm down.  He said that I seem to be very sensitive to the energy and my body was overwhelmed.

The whole experience was quite odd, and while I went into the vortex experience a bit skeptical, I came out a believer.

Lady Luck

Sometimes, you just have to take a risk.  The reward is always more sweet.

The Little Things

Even in a place of such overwhelming beauty as Arizona, it is the details that can be the most beautiful.  Keep your eyes open, you  never know what wonder you may see.

From the Desert

I'm in Arizona!  It is so beautiful here and the weather has been just perfect.  I am sitting out on my Aunts' veranda by the pool as the sun rises overhead.  In a few hours we will depart for the Grand Canyon, a sight I have never seen, so of course there will be lots of photography to be had.

I finally got my luggage this morning, a little short of 48 hours after landing in Phoenix.  It has been a headache, to say the least, but I'm glad to finally have my things.  Beware when flying Delta - I've had trouble with my baggage almost every time I fly.

Hope all is well in rainy chilly Boston (sorry, I had to rub it in a bit), and anywhere you may be reading from.

Fondly
