sedona

"sedona"起源於美洲印第安神化,實際上是一個位於美國亞利桑那州北部的一個小城鎮,該地被認為擁有許多超自然的,源自靈界的事物.因此,這座城市是印第安人的"聖地",每年都有許多朝聖者和術士前來朝拜.

sedona is a city and community that straddles the county line between Coconino and Yavapai Counties in the Verde Valley of northern Arizona. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 10,192. Founded in 1902, it has become a gathering place for New Age adepts, who believe some of the rocks and pre-Columbian archaeological remains (such as rock dwellings) of the region have a mystical power. Believers in Vortex Healing believe the Sedona area is the home of several vortexes.

該詞由於在審美上有一種空靈與神秘之感，所以被很多企業作為商標或名稱。譬如“東風起亞嘉華（sedona）”；仰光的著名酒店“sedona”等。
