Sedona: Vortex & Chakra Tour with Chakra Reading & Gemstone

Summary

Chakra readings, vortex walks and Sedona’s spirit energy

You’ll walk Sedona’s sacred sites with a local guide who actually makes you feel welcome—even if you show up late or lost. Experience vortex energy at Amitabha Stupa, try out a Medicine Wheel ritual, receive a personal chakra reading under open sky, and take home a gemstone as your own reminder.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest—my GPS took me to the wrong side of Amitabha Stupa Park at first, so I was already flustered when I met our guide, Lisa. She just grinned and waved it off (“Happens all the time!”), which somehow made me relax. The red dust stuck to my shoes as we walked up toward the stupa—there was this faint smell of juniper in the air, and someone nearby had lit incense. Lisa started telling us about how locals come here for quiet prayers or sometimes to leave little offerings. I didn’t expect to feel anything in particular, but there was this hush that settled over everyone as we circled the stupa. A couple from Phoenix tied a ribbon on one of the trees; I caught myself watching their faces more than listening to the stories for a minute.

After that, we wandered over to this Medicine Wheel—Lisa explained how it’s used for healing rituals by different groups around Sedona. She let us try walking it slowly, which felt awkward at first (I almost tripped on a stone), but then kind of meditative? The wind picked up and you could hear chimes somewhere in the distance. Then came the part I’d been half-dreading: chakra readings. Lisa sat us down in the shade and asked questions that felt surprisingly personal—I stumbled through describing my week (she nodded like she’d heard it all before). She talked about chakras as “the vortexes inside your body,” which sounds weird until you’re sitting there in Sedona with red rocks everywhere and suddenly it makes sense.

Before we left, Lisa handed each of us a small gemstone—mine was amethyst—and said it would help remember whatever we’d learned about ourselves that day. It’s still in my jacket pocket now. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from a “vortex tour” but something about Sedona gets under your skin. Or maybe it was just Lisa’s laugh when I tried to pronounce Amitabha (“You’re close! Sort of.”). Either way, if you want something more than just snapping photos of rocks, this is worth your morning—even if you get lost on the way like I did.
