Grounded in Sedona

Sedona, what can I say! What attracted me to the area was my interest in forbidden archaeology, information from Pleiadian channeler Darryl Anka (Bashar), and the need to get lost in nature. The experience of the area can be summed up in one concept, sensational, where the vast expanse of mountainous terrains leaves each individual with a subjective feast of the senses that becomes totally obliterated when described objectively.
What initially set Sedona apart from its neighboring terrain is its distinct red "rocks", the adobe colored soil that permeates the land. The question was constantly repeated, "what makes these rocks red"? Finally, answered by one of Sedona's tourist flyers, "the red color found in most of the layers is hematite, or iron oxide, a mineral found in great abundance in sedimentary rock". Recreation Guide to Your National Forest, Red Rock County - Coconino National Forest - Sedona, Arizona, United States Dept. of Agric.

The flyer further stated that you're essentially observing 80 million years of sediment deposition, prior to the time of the T-Rex when Sedona was immersed under water. At this time, life (plants, amphibians) was simply beginning on land. Id. Hence, utter amazement on how Sedona maintained its red rocks under wind and water erosion for 275 million years, something not found surrounding the Sedona vicinity.

At the site, you're constantly surrounded by this red coloring. Wherever you turn you'll find this red mineral. Outside of nature, hematite is typically found in its black magnetic form often made into jewelry. However, it's my understanding that you will find a deep blood red color within the black hematite akin to the red color of Sedona's sedimentary rock. In fact, hematite is derived from the Greek term haima, meaning blood. wiki:Hematite.
In crystal enthusiast circles, Hematite is a powerful "grounding" stone. Held in your hand or some other form of skin contact is said to help assist in creating a cooling/calming effect that will assist in clearing your mental clutter. This can definitely describe my own subjective experience of Sedona, especially after hiking through areas known to be spiraling vortices of energy (Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock). Each hike left me feeling with a euphoric Now presence with a desire to just be in the moment devoid of impertinent thoughts. 
Hematite is also associated with the root chakra, Muladhara, red in color and connected with grounding. At the seat of the kundalini where she rests, the root chakra is associated with the element of Earth. Through my own meditation practice, I often imagine being rooted from the perineum and folded legs into the Earth where I attempt to extract her blessings. Moreover, through Merkaba meditations, your own personal negative energy can be flushed out through the root chakra where the Earth acting as your mother tends to negate and pacify your negative energy. Hence, Sedona could possibly have a stronger ability to magnetically pull on your root chakra given the amount of hematite surrounding the area. Simply a possible explanation for the grounding experience.

Lastly, hematite is also believed to assist in balancing the yin-yang magnetic energies within the body found through acupuncture meridians. Through the yin-yang concept, it is interesting to note that certain vortex areas of Sedona are believed to carry either a masculine (yang) or feminine (yin) energy, if not a balance of both. 

Nonetheless, the euphoric grounding feeling was felt throughout the terrain, including hanging out on the balcony of our hotel. I didn't realize the strength of mental clarity that I experienced, nor the calm, until waking up in my bed the following day of our return, where I then faced the plethora of thoughts arising from the material world. Still I cling to the pictures, memories, and blessings that I hope will last a lifetime, or at least until my return.
