Sedona Airport Mesa Vortex and Mother Earth’s Message of Healing for Mankind
We visited Sedona, Arizona this week and part of our exploration was to visit some of the spots designated as vortexes. According to a placard at the Airport Mesa, “Vortexes are believed by some to be energy sites that enhance meditation, healing, and creativity. A vortex is not one particular site, but a general area of enhanced energy.”
There are masculine and feminine energy sites and sites that are a combination of both. We climbed to the airport vortex Thursday afternoon. This spot is a masculine upflow area. A masculine upflow area is believed to be good for reflections where soaring to a higher perspective is what you want, and when you want to feel one with the Universe or your faith’s view of the infinite. A masculine upflow area is a good place to find answers to problems from an expanded, outside-the-box point of view. This type of vortex is also supposed to be good for stress reduction and lowering blood pressure.
The moment Dave and I sat down on the big rock slab of the Airport Mesa, I felt a magnetic pull as if I were being plugged into the rock by a magnetic force. I’ve felt this feeling before on what we call “the Intention Rock” on our property by the Chickamauga Creek. It too, has a more masculine feel.
In my attempt to speak with God, I felt God redirecting my attention, inviting me to listen to the Earth. I felt as if there was something she wished to share with me. I got quiet, cleared my thoughts, and put both palms on the rock slab I sat upon.

As I listened, I felt an overwhelming sadness, a heartbreak. It felt like the love, concern, and compassion I have for one of my children who is struggling. I want only the best for my child, yet things are very difficult for her. My Mama heart breaks for my child. Similarly, I felt the Earth longing for better things for her children. A visual popped into my mind of people squirreled away in their homes and offices watching televisions, working on computers, or with their focus on phones. Rarely, if ever, did they get out into the sunshine or into nature.
I sensed the Earth’s immense intelligence. She may not be a human being, but she is a highly intelligent being with a grand role in our Creator’s Divine plan. Instantly, I saw the arrogance of humanity. Humans have been looking at Mother Earth as if she is damaged. Mankind acknowledges we’ve thoughtlessly vandalized and polluted the Earth. Most believe that if we don’t concoct and enact a solution, everybody’s going to die as the Earth is destroyed. Popular viewpoints lean toward the entire solution lying squarely on our collective shoulders. Mother Earth is seen as an object that is helpless, incapable of contributing, much less partnering with us in the process.
A Shift in Viewpoint
Mother Earth, on the other hand, sees us as her children who are suffering. She knows she has the answer for us, but we’re off in our little holes, not receiving or accessing the solution she’s offering. In mankind’s hubris, we view Mother Earth as a victim, something beneath us. In our myopic pride, we think we can ignore our relationship with Mother Earth and then somehow fix her like we might fix a nuclear reactor that has a core breach. We refuse to see her as a partner with our Creator. As a result, we refuse to partner with her or with our Creator.
In our egoic state, we have the audacity to think we are the ones to fix Mother Earth when we can’t even fix ourselves. Using Jesus’ analogy, Mother Earth’s problem is a splinter in her eye and ours is a two-by-four in ours. What we do not see is that we are symbiotic with the earth. As we heal, she heals. If we came to know her, we would automatically love her, reverence her, and care for her the way she deserves to be treated.
If we came to know Mother Earth, we’d listen to her and learn from her. We’d be open to her input on the problems we face. We’d be open to solutions that might seem simplistic or counterintuitive. We’d listen to our Creator and implement His advice – even though it might not be what we want to do and may even seem old-fashioned or unrelated.
Mankind is more in need of Earth’s solutions than Mother Earth needs ours. Mankind is worse off than Mother Earth is. The reason she’s suffering is because we are contentious, irreverent, selfish, and depraved. We cannot see the sacred in Mother Earth because we are oblivious to the sacred within ourselves and in all things. We have little harmony within ourselves or with each other or with the Earth. This disharmony on all fronts hurts Mother Earth. For example, I may experience inner peace as an individual most days. But when my child does not have inner peace, that concerns me and makes me sad. I’m filled with longing for healing and a better life for my child.
The Earth is in pain because of what mankind is doing on her and to her; but, soul wise, she’s good. The Earth is being what she was created to be. She is filling the measure of her creation. Mother Earth is not doing anything outside of God’s laws. We are the ones who daily violate God’s laws and natural laws. Mother Earth chooses to obey God’s laws.
“What manner of a man is He? Even the winds and the waves obey Him.”
Matthew 8:27
The Solution Is Nearby
The Native Americans believed that for any problem presented in nature, nature provides a solution nearby. For example, while stinging nettle has medicinal qualities, it also can cause great pain. Merely grazing against it can send your nerves into hot fiery pain. Growing near stinging nettle, you will almost always find an antidote. In our area, where stinging nettle grows, gallant soldier grows nearby. Gallant soldier is a plant whose leaves will quickly quench the fire of stinging nettles.
In this analogy, we are the stinging nettle, and the Earth is gallant soldier. She offers a salve, a remedy, healing, and solutions. The Earth isn’t something to be fixed. She’s the remedy! And mankind is not all bad and destructive. Like stinging nettle, we have our own medicine to share.
Just being out in nature, seeing the beauty of the Earth, breathing the fresh air, gaining appreciation for nature’s beauty, and accessing the joy and the peace available in nature would greatly shift humanity in a healing, peaceful direction.
Mankind Is No Longer Reality Based
We’re all looking at devices, immersed in a tumult of opinions broadcast through technology. We think this artificial environment is reality, that it is the real world. We mistakenly believe that the nonsense spewing 24/7 out of every man-made communication system, is important, even critical. The truth is that most of it is pure nonsense! It’s toxic; and it’s killing us.
Mother Earth grounds us to reality and to what is essential. When we immerse ourselves in nature and her lessons, we feel peace and joy which enables us to break the shackles that bind us. If we took time to know Mother Earth, we would naturally open our hearts to her and to each other. We would turn to our fellow-beings with compassion and a desire to lift, build, and bless. Why? Because when we commune with Mother Earth, we are influenced by our Creator’s loving wisdom which naturally flows through the Earth!
The Earth is constantly broadcasting, “I love you. Come to me. I can heal you.” This message is the Creator’s message. Mother Earth is perfectly aligned with the Creator. She is living her purpose. All beings who live their purpose and who are aligned with the Divine, are conduits of God’s love, healing, and messages. Mother Earth’s message is God’s message; and His message is one of healing, love, and peace.
As we inundate ourselves with the cacophony of noise available via man-made broadcast systems, we’re drowning out the subtle, beautiful messages naturally streaming through creation.
“All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.”
Alma 30:44
When we cut ourselves off from nature, its beauties, and lessons, we cut ourselves off from our Creator.
Mankind’s fabricated, technological, simulated “meta-verse” is not real. It’s an artificial counterfeit of the great light-based communication flowing through all things, in all things, and comprising all things. The Divine web is infinitely more powerful than any internet. Mankind’s answer is spending less time in man’s echo chamber, less time in the mindset that created the problem, and more time listening to and collaborating with the Earth and the One who created her. As we connect to them, we will connect to our own individual Core Divine Selves. The peace and love we find there will spill over into our relationships. We will begin to respect and treat all living things, including our fellowman, and the Earth with the reverence, respect and the value they deserve.
Healing the Earth is about healing ourselves. Mother Earth is our Creator’s gift to facilitate that healing.
