I often shift perspectives in my interdimensional healing work and in life in general. I have never seen a vortex with my naked eyes, just through my third-eye as images in my head.
Most of how I think is through image reception. Over the years I've gotten very good at interpreting images into spoken and written English.
Next time I look (with my 3rd Eye) at any of the vortexes I visit I will look for the clockwise and counterclockwise spin.
Your story of the tree prompted me to remember how a redwood tree had a vortex in the living room of a house where I lived for a year and a half. I will add this story to this series.
Thanks for your wonderful descriptions.
