thanks for the links, ive never heard of them referred as vortexes before

I have traveled fairly extensively and seen many places of high energy like Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Macchu Picchu, The Lost City of Colombia etc, which have all touched me. I would love to go to Sedona!

For me the most amazing place i have ever visited is an ancient pyramid built on top of a mountain in Ecuador, it is 4000 years old making it the cradle of civilisation in South America. Because of the mysterious way this mountain cloaks itself in cloud and mist it was only discovered in 2002, you will not read about it in any guidebook. Unfortunately grave robbers have discovered the place and go there with metal detectors, the ancient gold artifacts are priceless on the black market, we've had to clean up mounds of rubbish and fill in holes dug by these ****s.

The energy in this place is incredible, i have never felt anything like it, a connectedness with everything, sometimes i still feel connected to there even though im 20,000km away. The legend behind it is that a "great flood" swallowed up the entire land except this mountain. The cloud that cloaks the mountain is there the majority of the day, so its hard to make an ascent when everything is obscured, the cloud will be so thick you cannot see 10 meters ahead of you, but you see whirlwinds of white and sometimes a small tunnel will open up in the cloud above you showing a blue sky while everything else around you remains misty. The cloud will obscure everything until 15 minutes before sunset where it all disperses revealing a sea of clouds out to the horizon, here are some of my pics:
