Sedona, a place where sacred power has been residing since ancient times
This time we'll be introducing recommended hiking trails in Sedona, which is also famous as a power spot in Japan.
Sedona is a resort area known as a power spot that appears when you drive north from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) in Arizona.
Surrounded by red soil known as Red Rock Country, Sedona has long been worshipped as a sacred place by Native Americans.
Many people are attracted to the invisible power of Sedona, and many people visit the area, captivated by the power that Sedona possesses, and Lee Peter continues to follow suit. Research has shown that the earth's magnetism is high, and this is probably why it gives the human body something like power as invisible energy. . There is a hypothesis, but the reality is unknown. There is definitely something in Sedona that is invisible to the eyes, and the only way to feel that power is to actually go there and feel it through your body and mind. Thinking that you've been deceived, visit Sedona once and try to feel it with your five senses. You may feel a sense of happiness and healing effects you have never felt before.
