Sedona is like Disney World for the New Age traveler. Nestled in the Red Rocks of northern Arizona, roughly two hours north of Phoenix, this setting of crimson and green cradles an assortment of mystical experiences that some might consider woo-woo, while others might consider wonderfully eye opening.<\/p>\n

No matter where you might fall on this spectrum, Sedona<\/a> has emerged as an international draw for the curious, thanks to its eclectic community of mystics, healers and spiritualists. It\u2019s got one ofthe highest concentration of New Age activities in the world, all within a 19-square-mile radius, which makes it a mystical adventure for those with an open mind. Here are ten of our favorite:<\/p>\n

Vortex tours<\/h3>\n

Many attribute Sedona\u2019s spiritual draw to its \u201cvortexes,\u201d or centers of swirling natural energy arising from the earth. Four of Sedona\u2019s best known reside at Airport Mesa, Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock and Boynton Canyon. Companies such as Pink Jeep Tours and Earth Wisdom Tours will take you on exhilarating open-jeep adventures across the Red Rocks to visit these sites, and experience the energy for yourself.<\/p>\n

Psychic readings<\/h3>\n

It seems as though every other person in Sedona claims psychic or intuitive expertise. Perhaps it\u2019s due to the vortexes? The Center for the New Age, near the center of town, is your one stop shop for a psychic reading with one of its onsite readers. Many take same-day bookings. The gift shop is also pretty amazing, especially if you\u2019re into crystals.<\/p>\n

Stargazing<\/h3>\n

Not quite ready to meet E.T.? How about contemplating your purpose in this vast universe under a blanket of stars? Sedona is an International Dark Sky Community thanks to official measures its taken to preserve the purity of its night sky. This makes it an a-maz-ing<\/em> place for stargazing, especially when its alongside professional astronomers while on a Sedona Star Gazing tour.<\/p>\n

Astrology<\/h3>\n

Learn what the stars have in store for you. Be sure to bring your birthdate, birth place and time of birth to have an astrology chart drawn up; many places in Sedona cater to same-day appointments. You\u2019ll gain deeper insight into places of growth, such as love and career. For a more thorough reading, however, make an appointment with someone such as Vedic Astrologer Dennis Harness and provide your birth details in advance.<\/p>\n

UFO tours<\/h3>\n

For an out-of-this-universe experience under the Sedona night sky, take a UFO sighting tour with Melinda Leslie. You\u2019ll scan the sky with military-grade night vision goggles to spot \u201cunknowns\u201d and perhaps hear Melinda share herown account of beingabducted by aliens.<\/p>\n

Chakra balancing<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re seeking life balance but are too lazy to try yoga, book a chakra balancing session. Nearly all of Sedona\u2019s spas offer this on their menus. It\u2019s not your typical massage: Instead of kneading your muscles, the therapist will work at massaging the seven centers of energy in your body\u2014sometimes without touching it\u00a0at all.<\/p>\n

Past life regression<\/h3>\n

Go back in time \u2026 to another time in which you<\/em> lived. Past life regression, an experience many Sedona spas offer with an advanced appointment, is a hypnosis that takes subjects back to a previous life. It can be therapeutic for some, as it can help to explain traumas or prejudices carried into this life. Seek out Michael Brown, a long-time, Sedona-based psychotherapist who\u2019s trained extensively with Dr. Brian Weiss, considered the world\u2019s most respected authority in the field of past life regression therapy.<\/p>\n

\"Aura

Aura photography<\/h3>\n

This could be your most colorful Facebook profile pic yet. Aura photography captures the colors of your electromagnetic energy field, a vibration that radiates out from the body. Each color signifies a specific vibration attached to different meanings. Many intuitives and\/or photographers offer this service in Sedona and will happily interpret what the colors signify for you.<\/p>\n

Crystals<\/h3>\n

Head to Mystical Bazaar or Crystal Magic for a kaleidoscope-like collection of crystals\u2014up to 300 varieties\u2014that might help inspire, heal or keep you balanced. Knowledgeable locals can help you pick the perfect stone. Or, pick the one that speaks to you.<\/p>\n

Shamanic Healing<\/h3>\n

Participate in drumming and guided vision journeys with a shaman healer. Sedona is home to dozens trained in the shamanic traditions, which have roots in the wisdom of indigenous tribes across North and South America. Guides will work with you one-on-one, or in small groups, to foster a spiritual journey of self-discovery.<\/p>\n
