Throughout my parent site, Sedona Sacred Journeys, you will find many stories about couples who come on these vortex experiences with me but I don’t think I have ever talked about couples in the vortex in general.

Over the years I have seen amazing things happen to couples out there; I would describe it as the energy building connective threads between them. Sometimes couples will walk into my office and automatically sit on opposite ends of the couch! There might as well as be a mote with gun turrets between them! But an hour later they are holding hands in the vortex!

Why do couples suddenly drop their egos and fear on these experiences? I think nature has a way of quieting people and then their natural nice feelings rise up and the first thing they feel is love for their partner. A love that was always there just hidden by a bunch of un-healthy thinking. In the sedona vortex, this warm connection does seem to be created easier. When you are in the heart to heart place any issue or problem can be navigated with respect and nice feelings.

Sometimes at the Eagle Vortex, couples will have a chance to fly into the future and see where they will be in 1, 3, 5 years. The Eagle always sees the big picture. I point out to the couple that their feelings and thoughts in the present create their future. So flying into the future with the Eagle gives them a chance to see what will happen if they keep doing what they are doing. This experience can be very helpful! And most couples really seem to get a lot from it.

On vortex experiences it’s always a partnership; a three-way partnership–between myself, the couple and Mother Earth. My responsibility is to guide couples into these special places in a sacred manner which is to always remember that if you honor them (mother earth), they will honor you. When you conduct yourself like this, things have a way of happening! If the couple is a little closed up, it’s my job to guide them to ways of opening to the present moment thus the vortex experience. It occurs to me as I am writing this that I am also listening very deeply to the couple thus acknowledging them (inside), perhaps an acknowledgment they don’t usually experience. An when people feel acknowledged they open up and feel empowered.

Is a vortex experience a cure-all for a struggling relationship? Absolutely not. But I think the action a couple takes to go on these experiences and open themselves to the magic or sacredness of the world has a way of creating a string of openings. Make sense, brothers and sister? Hmmm–I like it! A string of openings!

Much more on this subject to come!

For me as a Sedona Vortex guide there is a great deal of mythology in Sedona about the vortex energy. But this does not mean it’s not here in Sedona! But the truth is there is energy flowing from the earth everywhere.

“If you honor them, they will honor you!” I always try and keep it simple. When you honor the earth or the trees or rocks by praying or showing your heart, those life forces sometimes respond by surging energy! Some people want to call that a Sedona vortex–that’s cool!

Does it have to do with electro-magnetic waves or other logical or scientific explanations? For me, I don’t even go there, if people want to explore within those contexts–that’s fine–but its just not part of my language or conversation.

Also, feeling this energy is a partnership. There are a few clients who initially won’t feel it and it’s my job as the guide to try and find out why they are not feeling it. People who are dominated by their thinking, certainly will have a challenge with feeling the energy but these are usually people who are living in a great deal of control.
But in the years I have been guiding clients, I would say we are talking about maybe ten percent who don’t have some energy experience out there. But then again, as the Holy Men, taught me: “Just because you’re not feeling it, doesn’t mean it isn’t working on you!”

My vortex experiences are always a moment-to-moment journey. I am out there listening very deeply to what spirit wants for a client. Spirit has way of prioritizing what it wants a client to work on in the vortex and that is usually in an emotional area that will create the bigger shift in a client’s life.

More later!
