The idea of living near a major spirituality community like Sedona seemed so exciting, even months before I first moved to Flagstaff, Arizona in the fall of 2017; and I still love being in the presence of the breathtaking red rocks and overall nature of Sedona.
I also used to love shopping at crystal stores since I’ve been strongly drawn to them since 2011 (after I left the Army life); I’ve experienced some of their powers in dream state, that I’ve shared within this blog (e.g., crystals like Moldavite, Rose Quartz, Malachite, Lemurian Seed Crystal, etc.).
However, my yearning to be part of this particular spiritual community gradually faded after having some unbelievable experiences for over a year—shared within the About page of this blog (under the Posts About Sedona section)—and being exposed to about a dozen questionable businesses within Sedona that are supposedly related to spirituality.

There’s also a pattern of a lot of Sedona employers trying to get away with giving their employees only part-time positions, as low as 16 hours a week (probably to avoid providing benefits), which I thought mostly applied to major corporations like Walmart.
In addition, Sedona employers often pay employees the bare minimum while having high expectations when it comes to their long list of job duties; but yet, Sedona is a very busy tourist location where many employers make an abundance of money/profit (some of this information can be found online).
The following paragraph is an excerpt from the post, “Further Releasing What No Longer FEELS Light: Farewell Spirituality World That’s Becoming Heavier”:
One too many facades within the business sector of Spirituality—Example: Some (but not all) business people within Sedona deceiving others with services related to the “mecca of spirituality” that are much shinier on the outside than on the inside.
An unconditionally loving and wise old man from Sedona shared with me that there’s not much left of the old school Sedona because it’s now more of corporate Sedona, which resonated with me due to my personal experiences.
I recently experienced, yet, another crystal store that seems much shinier on the outer surface (which is the fourth one so far)–all due to certain managers discriminating who they’re kind to, and/or not caring about their employees, which can explain their high turnover rate; this is unfortunate since Sedona is known to this world as a spiritual mecca.
Yesterday, I wrote a two star Google review for the crystal store Stone Age Sedona—that appears to be a tiny local store on the outer surface, but actually has an international online store on its website. I initially had a good impression of this store, and I even mentioned it within this blog a while back. The following is my first review of a crystal store in Sedona:
