Scientific Vortex Information

Pete Sanders' book provides great insight explaining the technical theory and spiritual beliefs related to rock vortexes around Sedona, AZ. Prior to my last trip to Sedona, I researched the geology of the area. I am an amateur geologist and I research and collect samples of the places I visit. Geology, however, was my secondary reason for visiting Sedona this time - my wife and I were initially attracted there for spiritual reasons. I didn't buy this book until I visited a book store in Sedona. I had a chance to review seven or eight other books on Sedona's vortexes and found Sanders' book as the best for me. Peter merged science, history, and spirituality in explaining the vortexes. Even though Sanders is not a geologist - he's actually an MIT-trained scientist in bio-medical and brain science - he did satisfy my scientific curiosities connecting the science and spirituality of the Sedona vortexes. An important point Sanders emphasizes is that people who visit the vortexes for spiritual reasons need to understand the spiritual phenomenon of upflow, inflow and lateral flow. If you are not familiar with these concepts then this book will help you get a good understanding. He also stresses the importance of having spiritual openness and not to be confused with ideas of feeling electricity or electromagnetism when visiting. For the people who are not planning to visit the vortexes soon, this book still provides valuable insight into discovering vortexes in other places (such as a Manhattan high rise). Sanders also makes references to the work he does through the Free-Soul group. After reading this book, his information could peak your interest in learning more about that group. Regardless of whether you are into science, spirituality, or both, I strongly recommend this book to anyone who plans to visit the vortexes in Sedona.
