Finding inner peace in Sedona

This independent New Mexico escort was ready to begin my spiritual journey! I can’t think of a better place to find inner peace. The scenery is breathtaking and the rocks seem magical. Usually when I go on vacations it is to relax and to get pampered. This time I wanted more. I wanted to learn something new and become a better person. Although I will have time later on to get pampered!

I used a local company ahead of time to arrange all of my sessions. I had seven sessions scheduled, six of them were in 2-days. I woke up at the crack of dawn because of the time change and the sun beaming in on my room. I had plenty of time to spare before my first session, so I stopped by a crystal shop to get my aura and chakra chart taken. It was a 25-page computerized print out. It basically said I am a Yellow-Orange which means I am creative, easy going, intellectual, philosophical and optimistic. I really am trying to be open minded about this whole spiritual and energetic thing.

The first session was called Sedona Experience. Before one starts a spiritual journey, you must be balanced. So she spent time opening up my chakras. Chakras are wheels of inner energy located in the body. I subtly open the chakras with most of my tantra-ssage clients. I have chosen at this point not to get my my clients too involved in the spiritual side of tantra. It is too hard to do in an hour.

She used gemstones and a pendulum and said I wasn’t too far out of balance, but indicated my heart and throat chakras needed attention. Afterwards she gave me a decent massage. It wasn’t knock your socks off, but a good massage.

My second session was called Hypnotherapy and Emotional Clearing. Still not sure what that was all about. We did a few exercises then she had me get on the massage table and she used tuning forks and other energetic techniques on me. It did seem she was trying to hypnotize me with her words while working on my body with the forks. I felt weepy and teary eyed, but very relaxed and peaceful.

The good news as I was telling everyone what I do for a living. Or at least about the tantra-ssage. Apparently part of my energetic blockages is in the throat chakra, which is for communication self expression, and talk of truth. My heart chakra for self care was depleted.

My third session for the day was called Meditation and Connecting to Spirit. This was very difficult for me. I have always had a hard time meditating, even with the private yoga instructor in India last summer. We meditated for an hour and tried to find my inner god. I flopped around like a fish out of water. I couldn’t be still. I couldn’t get my mind to stop thinking and slow down. Maybe for 10-minutes I was at peace. I finally had to ask him to stop, I had enough. He asked me if I wanted the truth and told me I was one of the most chemically toxic persons he had run across. I needed to detox and take magnesium supplements. And guess what, the building where the session was located sold these supplements. So guess what I purchased? Maybe he caught me at a vulnerable time, but I do know about toxins in the body and realize I need some supplements. He told me about all the research he had done and how special these supplements were, yet he had no stake in the business. He too made me cry and I was emotionally exhausted. I thought I was a pretty happy person, but I do realize, like everyone, I have some underlying issues that need resolving. This is one reason why I am in Sedona. Finding inner peace and spirituality is something I have always struggled with. Maybe it’s part depression, part toxicity and partly I just have never believed in the normal god that everyone else believes in. I grew up in Texas as a strict southern Baptist and became turned off by religion at a very young age. I guess I shouldn’t confuse spirituality with religion though. I do believe the earth as a special force and energy! I had a nice Caesar Chicken salad for dinner at a lovely steakhouse and slept well.
