Another way to get to Cathedral Rock and bypass the crowds is to hike Baldwin Trail in the morning mountain shade. There’s trees and it encompasses the other side of Crescent Moon river which makes for a refreshing foot soak. We went up to the first easy level, facing the sun, and Light Language flowed. People are accepting of others meditating, dancing, praying in and around the rocks.
Bell Rock is one of the famous energy centers. The parking lot for both Courthouse and Bell Rock is the best for quick and easy accessibility. There is no need to climb all the way up the slick rock face to get to the top. The energies are good in proximity.
Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park has free parking. The Stupa encases thousands of prayer scrolls with Prayer Wheels, a wooden Buddha, and a mini-Stupa. There is a medicine wheel that carries vortex energy. It is a wonderful place to meditate and be.
If ever you get to explore Sedona enjoy the grounding, experience and notice how you feel.
