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. One woman described such an experience when she went to Bell Rock, an up-flow vortex area, to erase a hurt from her past.
Spiritual skills employing introspection receive turbo-boost at an inflow vortex.
Inflow energy helps people go within more easily. Sites labeled as feminine vortexes have a pattern of inflow energy. In contrast, our stereotype for the male gender matches the outward, aggressive surge of up-flow energy related to masculine vortexes. Out- flow vortexes are places where the Earth releases energy so these areas are energizing. The energy boost of these vortexes work directly within our body, and indirectly on our minds.
