					<description><![CDATA[<p>This blog consists of images sent to us by our community of nature lovers. But it's winter, and most of the country is spending time indoors right now. So - as we have no new From Our Friends photos to share with you, here are some of mine.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are three views of some HooDoos &#8211; large stone figures that to early settlers of the west looked magical. These HooDoos are from my day off when shopping the Tucson Gem Show to get new specimens for you, our customers and colleagues.The images are of a very peaceful eagle and snake, co-existing nicely in the Chiricahua National Forest &#8211; Apache territory! The eagle and snake are powerful elements in Mexican and Native American traditions, and represent to some the struggle between the polarities of good and evil, to others the forces of the upper world and lower world. Here, in this beautiful and desolate countryside, they have come to a place of peaceful harmony and cooperation with each other &#8211; the goal of all our earthly struggles, a state of balance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My feet took me to a hillside strewn with boulders large and small, and the prevailing stone energy was so soothing that I sought an appropriate place to sit and center. Guided to a large, peaceful boulder, I sat in yogic cross-legged style in a cubbyhole at its base and entered into meditation. Very soon a firm, gentle stone energy drew me deep down into the middle of the earth where I felt comforted and safe, surrounded by many of the stone spirits of that location. When I came back up, all my energies were at peace, and I was filled with renewed strength to go forward.</p>

<p>I had been led to sit at the base of Grandfather—the head of the extended family of rocks that spread out over an acre of land. Grandfather made me an honorary member of his family, and over the rest of that visit and for many years after, I would return, first during the yoga conferences and then just to say hello. A huge photograph of Grandfather now rests over the door to my rock shop.</p>

<p>When a site has at least one strong image in a tree or rock—such as Grandfather—I will usually find many other images, or energies, also present. The site serves as a portal between the two worlds of nature and humanity. The variety of forms in that area depends on the energy it is holding; it could be connected to sites in other parts of the globe, or to a particular aspect of human energy that resides there now or did so in the past. If the spirits find you worthy and in resonance with them, such a place is a good one in which to interact in a communal fashion. The rock spirits of that area adopted me into their family, and over time I got to know many of them. They include a protective grandmother and her mischievous grandchild, a cranky old chauvinistic bird rock and his abused wife, a handsome hero, and elephants, birds, animals, and fish.</p>
<p>There is also an abandoned Native American altar in the area and another one at the base of the hill. The altar at the base of the hill borders a rushing stream and has a snake-energy head, as do many of the old Native American altars. The nature spirits of that area asked me to help them by cleaning natural debris that had settled there. On my subsequent visits, I always made certain to do a bit of altar cleansing, as an offering to spirit. For many years, I wondered why these altars would show a snake with only one eye. Finally a Native American explained to me that one eye indicates the snake has one part of its consciousness on earth and the other in spirit; it therefore serves to transport someone or something from earth to the realm of spirit.</p>

Notice its sleepy energy.</p></div>
<p>As I travel about the country, I am occasionally requested by local spirits to assist in cleaning up or honoring ancient altars that have been desecrated or fallen into disuse.</p>
<p>The altars are very natural ones, made of stone, and having, I have learned over time, snake energy associated with them. Here you can see photos of them, and you can see the snake energy very clearly.</p>
<p>This always puzzled me &#8211; why when I cleaned up the site would I discover one-eyed snake energy. Other than the fact that snakes are revered in most societies for their connection to life force energy and kundalini energy. </p>
<p>Then a colleague, who was brought up on an Indian Reservation, explained the situation. Snake heads are often found at a burial site or altar, one eye open indicating the energy is watching the earth plane and the other eye closed or missing indicating the being is also residing in spirit. That is &#8211; this is a message transmittal point, enabling messages from each realm to be more easily understood and manifested in the other realm. Which is, indeed, the function of an altar. (And also of special life forms such as Ladies of the Woods whose job it is to bring forth, sustain and return to spirit all life in its domain&#8230;see my various photos of these beings.)</p>
<p>The first set of images is from a Christian retreat center in Estes Park, Colorado, and the snake energy is content but sleepy.</p>
<p>The second set of images is from a college property in Pennsylvania, where the energy is more defiant. Here long-ago pioneers had purposely destroyed the altar. Unseen is a stone post holding the altar steady which the pioneers had knocked out of place. The snake energy has been blocked, and the altar spirit is angry about this, hence the red eye. The snake was in essence decapitated, and its head pushed down into the ground.</p>

<p>There are our friends who are human &#8211; and our friends from other dimensions. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to say who I am more comfortable with! Like all friends, my nature spirit friends constantly reveal new aspects to themselves. It&#8217;s all part of the fun of getting to know someone!</p>
<p>Several  years ago I connected with an elderly elf chieftain who lives in a cliff high in Rocky Mountain National Park and oversees a valley below. This  year, on my trip to the Denver Gem and Mineral Show, I took some time off to enjoy the golden aspen and dynamic rock formations of that area. I wanted to say hello to the elf, and take another photo of him.</p>
<p>What a surprise! On this visit, I was interested in the world around him&#8230;and found, facing him on the other side of the cliff opening &#8211; the other side of the story! There was a female spirit, looking out over the valley.</p>
<p>This photo just below shows the two cliff sides (that&#8217;s a spot of dust between them, caught in a sun flare. But wouldn&#8217;t it make a nice story to imagine it was a rose color orb of love being sent up to the lady from the elf chief!)</p>
<p>I must say, the lady looks rather aloof to the elf&#8217;s admiration, although she has a very sweet smile. She is staring out into the valley, while the elf is below her looking rather longingly at her!</p>

<p>So on the right is the original photo I took &#8211; available for several years on my website as a <a href="/faery-elder">card</a> &#8211; and a few of this year&#8217;s images of that same area.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unfortunately, that area was so steep, I wasn&#8217;t able to move around and get a better photo of the lady. But she does seem to have a familiar below her &#8211; a dog of some sort? Or an elderly matron? While the elf has, below him, a young man who looks like a captain of the guard!</p>

<p>I love this stone. It is in the Japanese Garden at the Chicago Botanical Garden.&nbsp;Stout rope around a large rock &#8211;&nbsp;an ancient Japanese symbol meaning &#8220;Private area; please respect and do not enter.&#8221; How wonderful to use such an organic image, in such a simple form, to convey a complex message! You can purchase this as a card or print &#8211;<strong><a href="http://www.crystal-life.com/product/rock-boundary/"> Rock Boundary</a> &#8211;</strong> Excellent for a teen-ager&#8217;s room door &#8211; or anyone wanting privacy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love cairns &#8211; those wonderful constructions of stone that serve as way markers&nbsp;helping travelers to find&nbsp;a path&nbsp;through desolate areas. In my travels, I&#8217;ll often photograph cairns some unknown person or persons have created. Areas abundant with rocks seems to naturally call forth this urge of human and rock to work together in community. Sometimes these constructions shift from utilitarian to art.</p>
<p>A few days ago my sister-in-law, Eve Perry, sent me a link to an unusual&nbsp;site featuring&nbsp;the work of an amazing young man, Marty Grab, who has turned&nbsp;cairn building into an art form he calls Gravity Glue &#8211; the art of Rock Balancing. He has honed his work to an extra-ordinary level of refinement and his balancing, while it looks like it has to use glue, uses only gravity.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft wp-image-35623 " src="https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?resize=542%2C325" alt="Michael Graba stone balancing 2" width="542" height="325" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?w=880&amp;ssl=1 880w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?resize=400%2C240&amp;ssl=1 400w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?resize=650%2C390&amp;ssl=1 650w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?resize=200%2C120&amp;ssl=1 200w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-1.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w" sizes="(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>Marty is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. He&nbsp;views his work as contemplative meditations and speaks of moving into the vibration of the stones, sensing their balancing points, and bringing them together in harmony.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft wp-image-35624 " src="https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?resize=567%2C340" alt="Michael Graba stone balancing" width="567" height="340" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?w=880&amp;ssl=1 880w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?resize=400%2C240&amp;ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?resize=650%2C390&amp;ssl=1 650w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?resize=200%2C120&amp;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Blogs-AT/2016/gravity-stone-balancing-michael-grab-3.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w" sizes="(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>Part of his explanation, at his website <a href="http://www.gravityglue.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gravity&nbsp;Glue</a>, includes the following:</p>
<p><em>Achieving a challenging balance requires contemplation of both mental and physical elements in real time; the NOW. You must “get to know” the rocks you are working with.</em></p>
<p><em>I am constantly in awe at the stillness, let alone possibility, of such precarious&nbsp;formations,&nbsp;amidst sometimes very turbulent&nbsp;conditions. For me this reflects&nbsp;our&nbsp;own potential&nbsp;to maintain&nbsp;a still-point amidst the variety of challenges we each face throughout our lives&#8230;.Consciousness affects reality. </em></p>
<p><em>Balance requires a minimum of&nbsp;THREE contact points. Luckily, every rock is covered in a variety of tiny to large indentations that can act as a NATURAL TRIPOD for the rock to stand upright, or in most orientations you can think of with other rocks. By paying close attention to the vibrations&nbsp;of the rocks, you will start to feel even the smallest “clicks” as the notches of the rocks are moving over one another.</em></p>
<p>For a real visual and meditative treat, visit his website and see his numerous creations. You can also watch meditative videos featuring his art, such as this one:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It helps, in times like these, to identify with life forms who have been around a very long time&#8230;and have survived. For me, rock and tree spirits have always proven to be my stable place holders. Rock spirit is especially useful when you have to just dig in, stay stable and ride out a storm. That&#8217;s where we as a civilization are right now. We all have to get to the other side of this pandemic storm&#8230;and stay as stable as possible while doing so. <img loading="lazy" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?resize=1076%2C718&#038;ssl=1" alt="Cliffside - Acadia" width="1076" height="718" class=" wp-image-98057 alignleft" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?resize=200%2C133&amp;ssl=1 200w, https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w, https://i1.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cliffside-Acadia.jpg?resize=650%2C434&amp;ssl=1 650w" sizes="(max-width: 1076px) 100vw, 1076px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>Rock consciousness has been present since earth&#8217;s beginnings. It has seen many transformations and its very origins are a lesson. Some were formed through intense fire that melted and molded them; others through millions of years of pressure. They&#8217;ve seen storms, earthquakes, gentle rain, soft and intense sun. They&#8217;ve endured being cracked, split, worn away by wind&#8230;and it has only made them more beautiful and more unique&#8230;and very peacefully, non-interferingly wise.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/head-texture.jpg?resize=496%2C744&#038;ssl=1" alt="Rock Spirit Acadia" width="496" height="744" class=" wp-image-98058 alignright" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/head-texture.jpg?w=667&amp;ssl=1 667w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/head-texture.jpg?resize=133%2C200&amp;ssl=1 133w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/head-texture.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/head-texture.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/head-texture.jpg?resize=650%2C975&amp;ssl=1 650w" sizes="(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px" data-recalc-dims="1" />I love to sit with rocks and absorb their story, their strength, their message. During this time when most of us are indoors &#8211; and others of us are on the front lines of disaster &#8211; it can prove very comforting to sit with a stone.</p>
<p>If you are a rock collector &#8211; pick a different one of your stones each day, sit with it and absorb its qualities and its story. Or go outside your home, ask nature to find you a stone to talk with and when it &#8220;pops&#8221; &#8211; take it to sit with. It could be as tiny as a pebble&#8230;or very much bigger.</p>
<p>You can also focus on a photo of a rock &#8211; one that inspires you &#8211; from a small specimen to a mighty mountain.</p>
<p>Here is an inspiring rock cliff. It is located on the Maine Coast, in Acadia National Park. There is so much to absorb and learn here. You can sit with this cliff in so many ways. There is the change of color between where the rising sun has turned the rocks red to the grey of the rocks still in shadow. There is the cracked nature of the cliff. Some parts stay strong. Others have fallen off. Yet the disappearance of parts, caused by issues beyond the cliff&#8217;s control, is what has given it character. Each area we study has its own story to tell&#8230;just like us, weathering our own storms. </p>
<p>And then there are the multiple images this cliff spirit, and other nature spirits, have generated &#8211; some of which are recognizable to our human sight. There are a multitude of energies visible here. How many can you see, and how does each energy differ from the other? This is another aspect of this cliff&#8217;s story.</p>
<p>It never ceases to amaze me how life forms beyond our human understanding can work with these ancient, solid materials to express ideas, as though the stone were butter they are moving about. How other lifeforms ARE the object, and over millennia shape themselves to express who they are or what they have seen or what type of energy they embody.</p>
<p>Just like humans &#8211; rocks have many aspects to their character. While humans have multiple personality layers that they learn to reveal or hide, rocks have a solid, limited canvas. As they only have so much physical space , they often create very sophisticated images that slide into each other. Looking at a rock from a different point of view will often cause you to see an entirely different image and energy. </p>
<p>I had a wonderful time sitting on this extended seaside cliff area one morning, from sunrise to midday. The solidity beauty and variation of the rocks, the sound of the ocean waves, the changing light &#8211; it was peaceful and fulfilling to all the senses and I simply sat. </p>
<p>Eventually, as the rocks awoke to the dawning day, they began calling out to me. They had connected to me and my own personal mission, which is to photograph the nature spirits and thus document their sentient nature. They became quite insistent that I make my way to look down this alcove and connect to an energy down below. I finally moved &#8211; and found these wonderful Mayan head and skull images. This area of the Maine coast has a number of images connected to the ancient cosmic Mayan lineage &#8211; which I am connected to and protected by &#8211; and they wanted the energy documented. This area is part of an extensive grid of energy lines (some refer to them as ley lines) that has grounded the Mayan knowledge and kept it accessible to any who wish to connect. This viewing also let me understand why this particular area was so soothing to my soul.</p>
<p>So, this is a sharing on a personal level of just a part of the experiences of that morning&#8230;and how sitting can be so fulfilling. In a time when many of us are being &#8220;forced&#8221; to sit due to home isolation&#8230;it is a practice you might want to explore.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each February I attend the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. It&#8217;s the largest gem show in the world, and it&#8217;s where I discover and bring back many of the unusual specimens you can find at Crystal Life. Each trip I usually take a day off to photograph some area phenomena, this being a major rock area. Here are some well-detailed stone beings I photographed at nearby Mt. Lemmon.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="https://www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/Art - Atala/rocks/Old-Prospector-1000.jpg" alt="Old Prospector" width="373" height="249" class="wp-image-75924 alignleft" />Millions of years of erosion &#8211; along with the conscious intent of nature spirits &#8211; have placed along the side of Mt. Lemmon a large number of extraordinary stone beings known as HooDoos. A local historian explained the name came from white folk &#8211; early pioneers who, when they saw these rocks emerging from the mist, thought they looked like magical beings. The name refers to the use of energies in HooDoo, a form of combined magic that came to prominence in the 1800s, bringing together African American, Native American and European pagan traditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-24659 size-full alignleft" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/art-atala/rocks/20120203-_DSC0495-1.jpg?resize=299%2C450&#038;ssl=1" alt="20120203-_DSC0495-1" width="299" height="450" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/art-atala/rocks/20120203-_DSC0495-1.jpg?w=299&amp;ssl=1 299w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/art-atala/rocks/20120203-_DSC0495-1.jpg?resize=133%2C200&amp;ssl=1 133w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/art-atala/rocks/20120203-_DSC0495-1.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https://i2.wp.com/www.crystal-life.com/wp-content/uploads/art-atala/rocks/20120203-_DSC0495-1.jpg?resize=266%2C400&amp;ssl=1 266w" sizes="(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px" data-recalc-dims="1" />The Mt. Lemmon HooDoos are, to an interdimensional communicator, very much alive and similar to other communities of stone beings I have encountered on my travels. These rock communities have their own internal community structures, which are remarkably similar to those that have evolved in human society.</p>

<p>Among the energies here are groups of elders &#8211; rather stern or majestic beings who usually have near them what they term their &#8220;familiars&#8221; &#8211; life forms who protect or attend them. Other personalities include the lovers, the arguers, the happy go lucky somewhat dumb beings, the warriors and the ordinary &#8220;middle class.&#8221;</p>
<p>When looked at from within their frequency range &#8211; e.g. you have to take the time to adjust your human sight to their rock frequency &#8211; most of these beings have very recognizable features, including at least one eye (the other may be missing, indicating they are messengers, part in the physical and part in spirit), a nose, a mouth and a very discernible, distinct personality.</p>
<p>The HooDoos on Mt. Lemmon have a number of beings very similar to stone people I have communed with in other locales, such as the Southern Illinois Garden of the Gods, the HooDoos of Bryce Canyon, Utah and the HooDoos of the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona. I find this interesting, as it indicates a commonality of energy that pervades the stone world, no matter where these beings live. Just like a commonality among humans no matter when they live.</p>

<p>These Mt. Lemmon stone beings are ancient, having been birthed by volcanic eruptions spanning 35 &#8211; 25 million years ago. They exist in communities named &#8220;sky islands&#8221; -environments that rise up out of the desert floor, covered first with  grasslands and at higher elevations with evergreen trees. Geologists state these rocks are volcanic ash which fused into welded Rhyolite tuff, with subsequent erosion creating the tall spires and columns. This is different from the Bryce Canyon HooDoos, who are limestone based.</p>
<p>An interdimensional communicator would say that over 35 million years the consciousness of the rock formations gradually evolved into distinct personalities, capable of communicating with each other and with us. If you need to learn patience and endurance, and how to weather the storms of your life, sitting with such ancient beings can be very helpful!</p>
