Sometimes considered mythical, these ancient cultures contributed significant knowledge and lessons to our modern world. At Crystal Life, we accept these ancient cultures as having really existed, and we explore their offerings.

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. You’ll find them here and on our YouTube Channel – Crystal Life Technology. You can watch the videos here…and also sign up on YouTube to receive notices of new videos as they are posted there.

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. You can also work with stones associated with the astrological sign under which you were born: stones associated in this way can be found in Astrology Stones.

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.

The chakras are the body’s energy centers. There are seven major chakras and millions of chakras of all sizes throughout your body. Stones, energetic qualities and other topics of interest re the chakras. 

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.

Sacred geometry is our human term for the light forms some humans can see, and which underly our physical world. These light forms are what consciousness looks like as it starts to cohere into form. Here at Crystal Life we work with these light forms to help you enhance your well-being. 

Spirit guides are those life forms who become part of our lives to inspire us. They may be religious leaders, loved ones who have crossed over, our team assembled before we birthed on earth, angels, animal totems, nature spirits…and so on. They are real. Some people choose to work with their guides consciously while others simply know that someone somewhere is protecting them.

Every month we share the favorite products of our staff.
