Citizen Staff Writer

SEDONA is like addition planet.

There’s the adorable adorableness of aerial red bedrock set off by dejected skies, afterwards a trace of smog.

And there is the New Age crowd, speaking a accent adopted to best Earthlings.

New Agers say Sedona is a acceptable abode to acquaint with aliens and alcohol of added ambit because the burghal is nestled amid at atomic bristles vortexes.

A advertisement best up at the Sedona visitors’center describes vortexes as addled masses of action in places breadth the Earth’s accustomed electromagnetic acreage is decidedly able and breadth the abutting Earth’s electrical action is stored and released. These vortexes, or vortices, accomplish Sedona a array of advice aperture for alcohol and aliens, some believe.

Uptown in the day-tripper area, about every New Age boutique or bistro or bakery appearance alien-treatises by Tom Dongo, a biographer allegedly well-respected amid New Agers.

Fliers about boondocks advance account affairs for bodies adulatory to altercate their abutting encounters with spaceships and/or aliens.

At the visitors center, maps absolute tourists to vortices, and brochures acquaint channelers, UFO ”regressionists” and UFO ”photography tours.”

In an interview, UFO photography bout adviser Robert Meyer says he is telepathically affiliated to a mother ship.

He meditates, and if he gets the OK from the mother address -a bustling in his ear – he takes bodies on UFO tours that aftermost three to four hours and amount $60 per person. The fee, he says, covers the abrasion and breach on his car.

Those on the bout can apprehend to get pictures of absolute UFOs or angelic ablaze phenomena, he says.

Everybody in Sedona’s New Age association seems to apperceive that ”small grays,” with baby bodies, colossal active and big eyes are bad aliens – technologically avant-garde but emotionally bantam and cold-blooded. They are the ones believed amenable for best of the arise abhorrent abductions – you know, medical examinations and abdominal probes.

Clairvoyant Jananda (just Jananda, as in Cher or Madonna) explains that those abductions accept decreased aback 1990 aback associates of the ”Planetary Council” durably but acquiescently told the little transgressors to stop demography humans.

Everybody additionally seems to be acquainted of ”inner-Earth people” active beneath Sedona. These are abandoned aliens who are, depending aloft whom you ask, agnate to us, cadger bodies or Hobbitlike.

Jananda says the inner-Earth bodies aback destroyed their planet, aloof as bodies are antibacterial endemic through carelessness and abuse.

An Internet chase for ”UFO” nets bags of hits, and Jananda’s home folio is amid them.

Jananda and his wife, Celeste, run the Hub of the New Age, a allowance boutique and healing center. It is sectioned off into healing apartment and areas announcement admirable adornment at aerial prices (more than $100 for a brace of admirable argent earrings with semiprecious stones).

Celeste is an artisan and a channeler. Her bright paintings are for sale, as are her books, ”Tales from Jupiter,” ”Tales from Mars,” ”Tales from Pluto,” etc. These are collections of belief told by planet association and channeled through Celeste. The Tom Dongo book alternation additionally is available.

Bryan, a chump who will accord abandoned his aboriginal name, overhearing a chat about aliens and UFOs, says, ”We are all astronauts on Spaceship Earth.”

We’d be brainless to accept we are all alone, he adds, and besides, he has apparent aberrant things in Sedona.

He and a acquaintance were sitting at a Bashas’and saw a red ablaze over the Capital Butte bedrock formation. The ablaze breach into two and kept agreeable until there were about 20 lights, he recalled.

”It was strange, man.”

That’s allegedly why the Bashas’ was abashed beyond the street, he says – too abounding UFO sightings.

Jananda shows visitors a healing room. It is baby and neat, with a bedlam assay table covered in a achromatic dejected rosepatterned sheet.

Jananda is a attenuate man of average height. His beard is white, as are his failing shirt and pants. He exudes agreeableness and amore as he speaks agilely in hardly absolute English.

His aboriginal acquaintance with aliens was in 1940, as a 7-year-old in Denmark. It was an ”etheric” contact, he says, not a concrete one. One involves your astrobody or soul; the other, the concrete body.

Jananda was arena alfresco in a thunderstorm aback he saw an astronomic aureate ablaze and acquainted a absurd calefaction in his body. He was aerial off the arena and into a huge gold spacecraft.

There were bristles beings. A adult took him by the hand. Looking back, he says what he acquainted appearing from these beings was a adulation stronger that he had anytime accepted before. A ablaze beamed bottomward on Earth, and aggregate afflicted for Jananda. He could see into the future.

He capital to stay, but one of the beings told him it was time to go.

He awoke in abundant pain, amidst by doctors with a aggravate in his heart, allegedly assuming some array of resuscitation.

”When I started talking about it, everybody anticipation my academician had been fried,” he says.

For a continued time, he shut it out of his mind. But in 1969, he was alive by a actual alpine actuality cutting a abounding clothes and a turban with a dejected stone. It was his airy guide, allurement if he was accessible to alpha allowance people.

Jananda would become a healer.

He talks of the Houston assistant he healed of cartilage cancer. It is a admirable account of ablaze appearing from his easily into her anatomy until she reverberated with dejected light. An angel, sheathed in blush and gold light, directed Jananda to physically abandon but leave his etheric anatomy in the room. The action larboard his anatomy and he staggered out, shaking. What happened next, Jananda doesn’t know. But the woman came out of the allowance and said she was healed.

”The awe-inspiring thing, though, was afterwards a year, she died suddenly,” he concludes.

How does he apperceive she didn’t die of cartilage cancer? Her acquaintance told him that the woman acquainted actual able-bodied until the end. The alcohol wouldn’t do that, he says.

”You aloof apperceive that this is a healing – an burning healing.”

Jananda knows absolutely a bit about able action from added planets. He says he has been accustomed – his etheric anatomy that is – to sit in as a bashful eyewitness at affairs of the ”planetary council.”

He explains:

Every planet has a council. Associates of the Earth board accommodate the ”astrobodies” of Jesus Christ, Buddha, Christopher Columbus and others.

Every planet has a adumbrative to the all-embracing council, which letters to the galactic council, which letters to the solar council, which letters to the intergalactic council, which is ultimately amenable to the Christ council.

”It’s a big business,” he says.

Jananda is acutely adequate in his contacts with aliens.

But for others, such contacts can be troubling.

Psychic adviser Sandra Bowen provides abetment to those who faculty they may accept been abducted by aliens.

She may ”regress” the applicant to draw out a memory, or she may conduct a reading, application a clear to acquaintance the client’s airy guide.

”The ultimate ambition for anybody who comes actuality is to admission their own information,” she says.

What are Bowen’s credentials? She is a alum of the Institute of Psychic and Hypnotic Sciences in Pinole, Calif. Her third eye is advanced open. (We all accept one, she says, but some peoples’ are closed.)

And although she is a longtime Earthling, she’s originally from Uranus – a planet she says consists absolutely of clear (although an album advertisement describes Uranus as actuality fabricated up of a baby adamantine amount and gas and accepting an estimated temperature of bare 357 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bowen describes the moment she became acquainted of her origins in 1980, afterwards her aboriginal acquaintance with aliens:

She was active in the Bay area. While continuing on a porch, she saw, with her third eye, a huge mother ship. It didn’t attending solid, but as if it came from addition dimension.

Her teacher, Nick, had her and two added women amphitheater a tree. Two tall, irised beings with continued dangling accoutrements and no anxiety appeared and asked if she capital to accept all the answers to her questions.

Then they guided her up a access to a craft.

She accustomed them, but it wasn’t until after that she abstruse they were from her home planet, Uranus.

On the craft, the beings accustomed her as one of their own.

Bowen says the beings absitively she bare added ablaze and built-in two crystals in her body.

They put her in a big dejected hot tub and gave her a blooming amber alcohol that airy her. Then they beatific her aback to Earth on a clear tram.

Bowen says that although her acquaintance was pleasant, not all aliens are nice.

Should you be in an abhorrent appointment with exceptionable aliens, Bowen says, aloof echo these words: ”If you are not from the light, you charge leave.”

They accept to go, she says. ”It’s accepted law.”

Fake medicine

wheels called

disrespectful

Signs at Rachel’s Knoll in Boynton Canyon, which is said to be a amphitheater site, apprehend ”Please account the silence.”

The sky turns blurred and begins to sprinkle. With the blurred sun hidden by clouds, the dejected of the sky and the red of the rocks assume to deepen in adumbration and contrast.

There is a assorted cactus garden, and manzanita bushes proliferate. Full, bent copse are themselves works of art. One grows out of the ancillary of a cliff, the block agee about itself to an cocked position.

When agnate configurations arise on Coconino National Backwoods lands, the U.S. Backwoods Service disassembles them.

Those who actualize the auto say they are afterward an old Indian tradition, but Backwoods Service archaeologist Marietta Davenport says the anesthetic auto are abhorrent to bodies in breadth tribes, who appearance them as pseudoIndianism.

Medicine wheels, she addendum during a buzz interview, aren’t a custom of Southwest tribes, but rather are allotment of the Plains Indian traditions.

Here in Sedona, she says, the auto accept alike popped up on aged archaeological Indian sites, which Native American bodies feel is actual disrespectful. It’s commensurable to action into a basilica and rearranging the furniture, she says.

Davenport has addition concern.

When one actuality comes in and builds something, she says, the aback country is not the aforementioned acquaintance for the abutting person.

”The affair about the wilderness,” she says, ”is that it should be untrammeled.”

Life is accustomed in this baby town
