Animals preceded humans on earth, and help form the energetic foundation on which we exist. Animals embody various specific energies and as such have been used throughout the ages as totems – spirit guides and energetic place holders. Some serve as familiars for a person. A familiar is a life form who accompanies a human as a protector, guide, teacher, power source and friend.

Certain stones are compatible with specific astrological signs. Some people prefer to work with a stone related to their astrological birthdate. Others prefer to work with the stone associated with their birth month; you find stones categorized by month in “Birthstones”

“It all began when a gnome invited me to take photos of some local moss faeries,” Crystal Life founder Atala Toy tells us. ” Next a tree spirit asked me to take his photograph. Gradually I became a photo chronicler of nature’s alternate earth reality – worlds whose life forms intelligently communicate with each other – and could do so with us as well…if we only listened. Enjoy these images of beauty, hope and inspiration.”

Many of you have requested workshops on various topics…but you live all around the world…so we have begun the process of creating videos and audio that fill that purpose.

What are the stones associated with your birthdate? There are a number of classically related stones whose energies are especially compatible with different months of the year.

The cycles of the year…the cycles of the planets…significant calendar holidays…we are affected by many kinds of cosmic energy. This area explores, from the spiritual perspective, a wide range of astrological occurrences from Mercury Retrograde to the equinoxes…

Many years ago Atala drew up a comprehensive chart of the qualities of the seven major chakras, for her own personal spiritual use. She shares this information with you. It covers everything from associated plants, animals, stones and colors to musical tones and number of hours of sleep needed.

We live in a multi-dimensional universe. Once we accept this reality, the rules change. This means that, very pragmatically, we naturally develop a  new philosophy for living. The higher level inter-galactic language is geometric light form and communication is through the spiritual heart (also known as the higher heart and the heart brain). Atala has written and done workshops and videos on this information; some of this information can be found here.

There are so many levels of consciousness co-existing – and sometimes arguing – within our human form. We are a marvel of complexity and yet as simple as being a manifestation of our soul. Being mindful enables us to observe and peacefully work with ourselves and the world around us.

Over the past few decades, children with expanded awareness have been birthing onto our planet in growing numbers. They’ve come in waves, groups of specific types of consciousness entering earth to help the rest of us. These waves have been called the Indigos, Crystals, Rainbows, and so on. Sometimes they need help as well. For several years Crystal Life sponsored a club called Blue Papaya where these youth could find friendship with others like themselves and learn subtle energy skills. Here is information on, by, and for these brave young people.
