Up-flow vortexes also can stretch your bubble of consciousness, like filling a balloon with air. Every place labeled a magnetic vortex is an area of inflow energy. An area labeled an electric vortex is an area with an up-flow energy. Sometimes these labels are used interchangeably to refer to any vortex which further confuses the labeling system. There are some misconceptions about a third labeling system.
Many people refer to vortexes as positive or negative.
However, some observers feel there actually are negative vortexes in the sense of meaning bad or evil sites. These vortexes made people feel incredibly positive. Because it is coming down on you, rather than buoying you up, the energy at an inflow site feels heavier. Further, if people are used to introspective exploration, they do not realize that when they go inward, the first things they bump into are fears, doubts, and uncertainties As a result, if inflow areas are not understood and prepared for, they often are thought of as negative, or even evil. It is tragic to see people come to Sedona and go to the wrong kind of vortex for the spiritual skill they want to practice.
