Sedona.net says, “You may feel a range of sensations from a slight tingling on exposed skin, to a vibration emanating from the ground when you encounter a vortex. Most often a vortex is felt by palpable sensation across the nape of the neck and the shoulder blades.”
Along with these vortexes come your gamut of new-age mystics, tarot card readers, and fortune tellers who’ve set up shop along Sedona’s main roads. Shops sell crystal balls and dream catchers alongside statues of Buddha and Hindu deities, like a bastardized mishmash of non-Christian religions. Buy a dashboard Ganesh, get a geode free! Most of these shops seemed to be owned and run by tie-dyed Caucasians, highlighting a stark absence of Native American influence. If Sedona were surrounded by an ethereal energy, wouldn’t the communities who’ve lived in the region for centuries know the most about it?
