About this tour
When Ben from our team hiked out to a red rock vantage in Sedona, the experience pivoted on belief more than spectacle. You'll trek to a quiet spot overlooking three iconic formations, then sit for Reiki hands-on work paired with Himalayan singing bowl soundwork. The tour opens with education on vortexes and chakras, followed by grounding meditation—all customisable depending on your prior experience with energy work. It's a 3-hour commitment in Coconino National Forest, properly permitted and run by Spirit of Sedona Tours. The real pull isn't the rocks themselves (though they're striking), but the space to sit still and see what lands.

What to expect
Ben's day started with a gentle uphill walk through red rock country—nothing strenuous, more a meander to reach a sheltered clearing with sightlines across the landscape. Once settled, the guide ran through vortex and energy concepts without preachiness, then moved into a guided meditation and grounding session. The real meat came next: lying back on a camp chair, blanket over you, while someone performed Reiki (light touch or hands-off, your choice) whilst singing bowls hummed nearby. The vibrations are tangible—less mystical, more physical—and the whole setup felt unhurried.
What caught us was the lack of hard sell. You're not herded through woo or forced into belief. The guide met people where they were, whether sceptical, curious, or committed. The setting matters too: the rocks are dramatic, and the quiet amplifies the bowl tones. Budget time to sit and absorb rather than race through.
Good to know
If you're energy-curious or just after a meditative morning in nature, this lands well. The customisation angle (pre-call, participant form) means you're not shoehorned into a generic script. Camp chairs and blankets make it comfortable, not a rough sit on earth. Works for mixed experience levels and all fitness brackets.
This isn't a scenic tour masquerading as wellness—if you want hard rock scrambling, book a hike instead. Weather exposure is real (Sedona sun and wind); bring sunscreen and a layer. Reiki relies on openness; hardened sceptics may feel out of place. The group vibe matters; you're lying vulnerable near strangers.
Water isn't included (bring your own). Red Rock parking pass costs $5/day extra. Gratuities aren't included. Groups are typically small. Bring sunscreen, a light jacket, and an open mind. Kids welcome, but infants must sit on an adult's lap. Service animals permitted.
