Top 10 Energy Vortexes to Visit Around the World
If you're in need of a spiritual realigning or just an overwhelming sense of healing, these are the places to book your next vacation.
Have you ever been somewhere and felt overcome with a strange feeling? Almost like the energy of the earth had been turned up? That eerie, yet comforting feeling is what it feels like to be in an energy vortex.
An energy vortex is a place on Earth that acts as a hub for energy. It holds more energy than any normal place. They're believed to exist at the intersections of ley lines, or lines of natural energy, that make up Earth's electromagnetic field.
Energy vortexes can have certain spiritual properties associated with them and can be highly conductive of spiritual actions, such as prayer, meditation, and healing. These vortexes can bring feelings of peace or can be used to promote self-reflection or physical or emotional rejuvination.
Energy vortexes are located in different areas across the globe. Here's L'OFFICIELS's guide to the top 10 enery vortexes you need to visit.

The Glastonbury Abbey, pictures above, is another main site. It once was a monastery tjat was completedin the 8th century. It's said to be where two highways of energy meet. Glastonbury is said to radiate peace and balance, and the feeling is supposed to travel from your stomach to your heart, to your head, as you move through the different vortexes.
Sedona, Arizona, USA
Due to its glorious rock formations, Sedona is one of the top destinations for a rejuvinating retreat. Known for its great views, incredible hiking spots, and glorious spas, Sedona has all you could need for the perfect weekend of "me time". Sedona as a whole is considered an energy vortex, but there are four locations in particular where the energy is strongest. One of the main vortexes is the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a church that has a huge cross that towers over the red rocks. Marguerite Burnswig Staude, the mastermind behind its creation, said the church was a "spiritual fortress so charged with God that it spurs man's spirit God-ward."
Es Vedrà, Ibiza, Spain
Es Verdà stands tall in the Mediterranean Sea, right off the coast of Ibiza. This giant limestone rock stands 1300 feet above the sea and is rumored to be the tip of the lost city of Atlantis. It's the thirf most magnetic spot in the entire world and causes compasses to lose direction and even makes brids go dizzy. Limestone is considered to hold the maximum concentration of energy, which is what makes its atmosphere so energetic. Visitors leave the rock feeling inspired, creative and healed.
Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England
It goes without saying that Stonehenge is one of the most famous historical sites on Earth. It's believed to date back to almost 5,000 years ago, yet no one truly knows its purpose. The historical site houses 100 upright stones that are arranged in a circle. Some believe that it used to be a burial or ceremonial ground, but no one knows for sure. Stonehenge is the meeting place of 14 different ley lines, making it a powerfully charged space.
Haleakalā Volcano, Hawaii, USA
Hawaii has no shortage of natural wonders, but the Haleakalā Volcano is definitely one of the best. Also known as the Haleakalā Crater due to the erosion at the top, this natural wonder has some of the best spots for watching the sunset. The top of the volcano emits a frequency that matches the frequency of a human heartbeat. This frequency creates a motherly and nurturing feeling, which is believed to be the spirit of Maui or Mother Maui.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
Regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the oldest pyramids. Constructed around 2550 and 2490 B.C. this structure is a mecca of Egyptian history. Like Es Verdà, the pyramid is built out of limestone and was used as a tomb for one of Egypt's pharaohs. Physicists have discovered that the pyramid stores electromagnetic energy in its chambers, contributing to the belief that this is an energy vortex.

The mountain is said to attract people who seek spiritual growth, transcendence, and healing. More than 25,000 people visit the mountain each year to take in its views and feel its energy.
