The entire region has been tested with various scientific instruments and methods for over a decade.
For example, scientists have used portable EEG devices and magnetometers in the area and there appears to be clear connections made between the vortex energy and human brainwaves.
The composition of the geology includes high levels of iron oxide in the sandstone and limestone. Add to this some volcanic basalt embedded with high quantities of quartz and you have a potent landscape for magnetic activities.
Specifically, these three excerpts from a USGS report about an aerial survey of the Sedona region found magnetic anomalies throughout the entire area:
– “The Precambrian crystalline basement is the most likely source of the broad magnetic high in the Sedona area. The long-wavelength nature of the magnetic high indicates that the source of the anomaly is buried.”
– ” The latites (containing 5-20% quartz), extruded from volcanic plugs tend to produce intense, somewhat ‘circular’ magnetic anomalies.”
– “Geologic structures, such as faults, often produce small magnetic fields that ‘distort’ the main magnetic field of the earth”
In addition, the quartz crystals themselves also emit magnetic forces. The result is likely a combination of these factors.
