Sedona Mystical Tours: A Day in the Vortex

Sedona Mystical Tours, sounds intriguing, right? A few weeks ago Zach and I set out to do what I like to call a “location redemption”.  That’s when we go somewhere that we’ve been before, back in our drinking and partying days, and experience the place again through our now-sober selves.  If you’re not in recovery it might be hard to understand, but I really love going back to some of the places where I partied particularly hard and made some not-great memories and “redeem” them by having a more conscious, mindful experience as a sober traveler.

Sedona is a famous “new age” destination due to its vortexes.  Crystal shops and psychic readers profiting from the tourists abound.  We sought out the real thing.

Sedona was high on my list for a location redemption.  I’d been there so many times, but I’d never really looked into the vortex phenomenon or any of the many spiritual aspects of Sedona.  Enter Mark Griffon of Sedona Mystical Tours.  I found Mark’s tour company online and knew immediately that having him guide us through Sedona would be the perfect way to finally experience the sacredness of the red rocks.  And I was totally right.  Mark’s expertise and gentle nature make him a perfect guide for seekers in Sedona.  Mark took us off-the-beaten-track to some locations where we were the only people there, even during the crazy tourist season!  Here’s the video we made of our Sedona Mystical Tour experience.

As you can see in the video, we had a truly remarkable experience with Sedona Mystical Tours.  We had started the day feeling stressed and anxious due to outside factors, but after a short while of hiking and feeling the vibration of the land with Mark, we both felt cool, calm and heavily meditated!  It was wonderful.
