Majestic
Mystical Magical
Sedona
There was magic
and blessings from the very beginning of this trip. The intention for this trip to Sedona was to
plan a retreat focusing on integrating the divine masculine and divine feminine
in our hearts; the union of both within us to be whole and complete.
Once I arrived
at the airport, I breezed through security which never happens. Apparently, I was on an express security line
where we weren’t even required to take our shoes off! OK – now that never happens either! At the gate, while I was waiting for my soul
sister, Victoria, I updated information on the Sacred Moon Fertility Facebook
Page. There was overwhelming momentum on
Facebook about the fertility and crystal singing bowls work. Then, Victoria arrived.
Traveling
together on a plane was new for us – we were really excited about it. New adventure – new journey forward – taking
our purpose and work to new heights to serve humanity. Magic was upon us as she arrived – there was
a black cat at the gate that was traveling with us on the plane and if you know
Victoria, black cats are her thing and definitely a symbol for magic! We saw the weather and saw rain forecast in
Sedona which is a symbol of the divine feminine. The air crew made an
announcement and referred to the pilot as a ‘she’ – yeah! Victoria and I took one look at each other
and said ‘Go, Divine Feminine!’ Everyone
on the plane was relying on this beautiful strong divine feminine to get them
to their destination safely and gracefully.
We both were all about that! : )
Upon arrival to
Phoenix, we went to get our rental car.
We decided to upgrade for $13/day – hello…we had to…13 is a number with
magical significance. 
When we arrived
in Sedona, we decided to tap into the wisdom of the oracle deck cards Victoria
brought with her and I pulled the card,
ABUNDANCE (Harvest*Grateful*Overflowing).
The message of the card is to count
your blessing; goodness prevails; you are full and have all you need. Isn’t that the truth! If you know me, Sedona is my happy
place. All I need to feel nourished and
full is to be in Sedona. I’m always
grateful for the opportunity to come back to feel complete and refreshed and
renewed. We decided to begin our
journey with a Sedona sunset on top of Airport Mesa. A Sedona sunset is one of my favorite things
to see and experience.
The next
morning, before heading out to see what Sedona had in store for us, I pulled
the following card: Serenity (Acceptance*Peace*Trust). The message of the card is to make peace with your situation; allow tweaks
& adjustments to better your pathway.
We headed out to Bell Rock in the morning for a hike. Bell Rock is considered to have Divine
Masculine energy. Of course we would end
up here first considering we had so many Divine Feminine symbolisms
yesterday. We need balance. I have visited Bell Rock twice before and
each time I have had a different experience.
Well…this time too was different.
Victoria and I climbed and veered off to the left of the rock. I enjoy
hiking and climbing but not when the trail is very high and wobbly. I am not afraid of heights but what I
realized when I hiked beyond my normal limits is that I didn’t trust my legs
and feet to climb safely. Each time I
arrive in Sedona to hike, I always stretch myself to another comfort
level. But, it wasn’t until this time
did I realize that my distrust in my physical body specifically my legs was the
cause of my limitation. Somewhere along
the way in my life, I started to distrust my legs to support me. I sat on Bell Rock with Victoria and I
realized that my legs had failed me before – either by tripping or falling
which I normally don’t do. I realized those
times that I did fall or trip were pretty significant falls that I still have
kept with me so when I do hike on anything that is not flat I am weary and very
cautious. So, as the card message above
stated, I am finding myself on Bell Rock making peace with not trusting my legs
– my physical body – my temple.
After a healing
hike on Bell Rock, we headed to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. We spent some time there praying for our
loved ones and giving gratitude for our journey individually and being
together.
The other part
to my card pulled earlier was to allow
tweaks and adjustments to better your pathway.
We decided to conclude our magical day with a Shaman. We hiked to a creek – yes, another hike but
this time with a new appreciation for my legs who are my loyal companions. We did a water blessing to the Great
Mother. The Shaman played sacred
instruments -the drum and flute- and he sang sacred songs as we lay at the
creek for healing. During this time of
sacred sounds, I saw images of the bear, wolf and coyote. The Great Mother gifted me a green sparkly
crystal and a flute! I guess I’m
supposed to start playing the flute. LOL
We climbed into a cave and meditated in there. I went out of my comfort zone
and stood a little outside the cave for a picture. It was a conscious connection
to being friends with my legs to support me.
Victoria was proud of me!
The place is
called Wind Cave. The cave is a symbolic
representation of the divine feminine womb.
We were also supported by the element Air (Wind Cave) which represents
transformation. Yes…there was change in
the air for us.
The following
day before we headed out to experience more magic, I pulled the following
cards: Faith (Ancestors*Memory*Eternal), Enchanted (Fragrant*Mystery*Believe) and
Prosperity (Abundance*Attract*Spell).
YES! YES! AND YES! The morning we
experienced was beyond words…we attended Sunday service at Unity of
Sedona. What a wonderful and inspiring
place.
What a wonderful
way to start the day. We were energized,
inspired for action and re-connected to our purpose.
M-A-G-I-C-A-L!!!!!
M-A-G-I-C-A-L!!!!!
More magic
continued to follow…before we headed out the following day, I pulled the
cards: Divinity (Wise*Inhale*Delight), Earth (North*Powerful*Spell), and Hope
(Brave*Courage*Faith). These cards
have been spot on this entire trip so there was no reason for me to think these
cards would not uphold their promise! We
explored Angel Valley!!!!!!!!!!! Do I
need to say more? : )
Buffalo, a true
Shaman, shared ancient wisdom and stories with us as he took us to Boynton
Canyon (a vortex) where the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine come
together. We continued to Mystic Vortex
(a 360 view of Sedona) where the Divine Masculine (Father Sky) and the Divine
Masculine (Mother Earth) meet. He also
took us to Buddha Beach in Cathedral Rock (a vortex) where he shared a native
story about Cathedral Rock’s pillar formations.
Buffalo concluded the tour with a sacred Medicine Wheel ritual. He also gifted us with sacred ancient Sun
chants. Buffalo created the sacredness
of Sedona in this 3-hour bundle custom tour Victoria and I asked for. It was perfect…nothing was missing…well…maybe
more time but you can never have more time in Sedona according to me as most of
you know! Our retreat planning was
unfolding perfectly as we were concluding our time in Sedona.
We decided to celebrate our trip’s magic by balancing out the energy of giving by receiving… taking care of us – solely for us. We attended a Therapeutic Yoga with Yoga Nidra class…aaahhhhh…exactly what we needed! Then we headed out to dinner at my FAVORITE restaurant in Sedona, Mariposa! Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish. Of course! We wouldn’t have it any other way…to end the trip with embracing the beauty that comes with change or transformation.
When you are
driving to the entrance of a place and see a Rainbow Bridge to welcome you, you KNOW you are in for some serious MAGICAL EXPERIENCES! There were two labyrinths, Mother Mary and
Baby Jesus surrounded by a rose quartz
altar, a healing Heart Light, an Angel Grid, Meditation Room, an Archangel
Raphael Room, Angel Vortexes, Chakra vortexes, and much more…surreal…
Victoria and I
spent the entire day at Angel Valley meditating, journaling and exploring the
space. We were inspired and creative
juices were overflowing as we were planning for our future retreat. We tuned into the angelic energies and asked
for guidance as to how best serve our retreat group. We were gifted with healing meditations and
empowering activities.
One more full
day left in Majestic, Mystical, Magical Sedona.
Victoria and I both knew we were far from experiencing the best yet…we
can feel it in the air…in our experiences…in our guidance…how Spirit led us to
one place or person after the other from the very minute we stepped into
Sedona.
Before we headed
out to our Jeep Tour, I pulled the following cards: Relax
Waning Moon (Release*Protection*Banish), Nature Air Element
(East*Strength*Spell), Luminous Full Moon Blessing (Charge*Envision*Spell),
Radiant (Glow*Optimism*Light).
Really? I have to smile after I
pull these cards, grab my bag and head to the front desk to be picked up by a
wonderful Shaman named Buffalo.

Sedona is a
sacred destination. I have found that to
experience what Sedona offers, I have to be willing to let go of structured
plans and ideas. To experience Sedona, I
need to be willing to be quiet and be still so I am able to listen to Sedona’s
guidance and direction. I have been
there 4 times since August 2016 and each trip was different but not less
magical. Sedona knew what I needed and
when I needed it.
I like an
itinerary when I travel but Sedona has taught me that its itinerary is FAR MORE
SOUL NURTURING than mine. Sedona has
taught me how to listen to its energy so I can follow the path carved to experience
MAGIC AND BLISS!
Sedona offers
magic, healing, peace, and purpose but we must be willing to be open to listen
to Spirit’s guidance and direction. That
is exactly what Victoria and I did and now have an itinerary gifted and blessed
to us by Sedona for our upcoming yoga retreat in April 2018!
The details are below. Hope you can join us.
