The power vortexes in Sedona, Arizona, are regarded as places containing mystic energy by New Age believers and were first discovered in the 1950’s. There are a total of four power vortexes, which are located at:

* Bell Rock (masculine energy)

* Airport Mesa (masculine energy)

* Cathedral Rock (feminine energy)

* Boynton Canyon (balance of masculine and feminine energy)

New Age thinking discusses a vortex as being a place containing high mystical power. By meditating in these locations, New Age devotees believe that one will experience both spiritual awakening and physical healing.

These four vortexes, discovered by Page Bryant have since become a popular tourist attraction. So much so that visitor centers offer maps well as guided tours including North American and New Age teachings.

    Thank you for this smorgasbord of spiritual destinations, Amy. My #11 would be Arunachala, India, where Ramana Maharshi spent most of his life.

    MY spiritual epiphany happened when I witnessed what happens to the animals we eat. It changed the way I viewed food and the way I eat. Keeping your head buried in the sand stunts your growth from reaching your full compassionate/spiritual potential. Does your Soul approve of this?: http://www.meatvideo.com/
