We are sentient beings. We feel things. We feel emotions.
We are human, and we are physical beings, and there is so much that affects us.
Each of us has a physical being that we use to walk, talk, breathe, eat, drink, yell, rest with.
Inside our physical entities, we have parts that work. Really, the human form is amazing.
Like other beings on this Earth walk, we are spiritual beings.
I think there is more to this life than what meets the eye. And yes, I believe in the "magical" things, with a faith in our Creator, and that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes I am in awe of the aspects of life that I find are interrelated. I also believe that we can never know the entire Truth about living.
Everyone has a journey, and my journey includes discovering the little truths in my life every day. So this is my way of trying to understand the parts that come under my radar. Your journey includes stumbling upon these words written here in the vast internet today.
Everything has an effect whether intentional or not. Specifically, though, I think that there are ways to assist ourselves, to affect needed changes, to get us over the hump in our growth. There are many healing modalities, many ways to raise vibrations. Some people need outside help, but I tend to focus on the things that I can do myself. And I believe that intention is the key to it all.
Using crystals and stones to help me is one of those ways. But understanding the reasons why that helps is sometimes difficult. There is science to help understand, and a lot of that may actually discredit it all. If we listened to mainstream physicians all of the time, imagine a life of medicines and surgeries. Yes, modern medicine has it's place. But consider that other modalities may help. Remember there is more to living than meets the eye. And your intention to do something to help yourself may actually be the thing that helps.
Some modalities that may raise vibrations and help YOU are Yoga, meditation, chakra healing, Reiki, energy work, prayer; Cleaning your house, reducing clutter, surrounding yourself with specific colors in your home, or wearing specific clothes; taking a bath, or a shower, using herbs, essential oils; grounding, Earthing, nature walks, burning sage.
What helps you? On the most basic level, if it genuinely feels good deep down, it has to help. I'm not talking about fake things here, no illicit drugs or Gucci bags that you must have in order to survive. No little happy pills. Consider other things that may help. If purple hair helps you feel good about life, yourself, living, then by all means, go for it. If you like your bedroom, living room AND kitchen the color red, then do it, paint away. If you like the way a quartz crystal rock feels in your pocket, then do it.
What you intend when you do something may be the key. I intend when I sit and write on this blog to help someone out there with positive energies and positive vibes. I don't just want to sell jewelry. Sometimes I fail and only one person reads what I have written. Sometimes my words are jumbled, my ideas are criss-crossed. Sometimes I fail to keep my schedule on writing. But this is how I think: I am trying. I am putting something out there that is not negative, and that in itself is positive. I am just me trying to make sense of it all.
I intend when I make my jewelry that someone will enjoy it. I intend that it will help them in some way.
I hope so.
Best Wishes, from Me.

Pay Attention To Your Chakras
Pay Attention To Your Chakras---huh???
This is just a basic overview, because I am not an expert, but my point in saying this is that anyone can do this, and benefit from doing this type of thing.
Afterall, we don't have to go running to the doctor all the time. If you do that enough, you will end up worse than what you started sometimes. OF COURSE, there is a time and place for everything, and modern medicine has it's place.
Out of a place of frugality is how I came to discover some of these things I believe in. The idea that there may be something I could do for myself that did not require money is a great motivator. The world is so busy, and there is a bombardment of advertising for solutions to all of life's problems. Just watch television for an hour, cued into the ads, and you will see what I mean. Take this, do this, eat this, don't eat that.
One of the things that has become second nature to me is paying attention to my SELF. Not obsessing, just noticing what was going on. I am not the picture of health, I am not into yoga, but that is not required. Start where you are, incorporate the healthy lifestyles that you choose, make your own decisions.
Energy needs to flow through your body. Those chakras need to be unblocked, opened, freely spinning in order for good health, happiness, joyfulness, and all the great things about living to be present in your life. At least that is what I've read. This idea of energy flowing makes me think of pipes, and I'm not sure if it is really like this, but this is how I visualize it. The pipes are all connected, going up and down your spine, out to all your organs, your limbs, connecting down to the earth and up and out to the sky and universe. The chakras in this set up are Seven Huge Colorful Connectors that run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. At any point in this pipe system, anything can enter in, anything can exit or leak out. What affects one spot in this system, affects the whole system. The idea is to keep this whole system intact as best you can, unclogged, without too many leaks, without too many external intrusions...so that we remain WHOLE. Maybe you can think of another analogy, or visualize it a different way, and I would love to hear about it. I am always learning. Maybe do a search on google "creative visualizations of chakras" or something similar. Start learning about this!
Anything can interfere with this system, our energy system, whether it is something you ate or drank, a fight you witnessed, something horrible on tv, past events in your life that were abusive... As well, anything can positively affect this system, our energy system, whether it is a beautiful sunset, a loving interaction with someone in your life, a good phone conversation, a past event in your life that was beautiful, or caring. You get the idea, right? We don't live in bubbles, and our environment and the people around us have a great impact on our SELVES.
When you start thinking this way, in terms of you being an individual with an energy system all of your own, the next intuitive step is to pay attention to it. Even if you have a horrible past, just start now to pay attention to your own system. There may be a lot that is wrong with it, but if you don't pay attention, things will not ever get better. Get back to yourSELF. In paying attention, there is honor, you are honoring yourself. It's free to do this. It won't harm you to do this, I promise.
There are also online quizzes you can do to find out which chakras are clogged or out of balance, or perhaps hyperactive. I tend to shy away from doing these, as I assume ALL of my chakras are out of whack from 55 years of living and not paying attention.
So how do you do this? How do you pay attention to your chakras, your energy system? Through out the day, just visualize your energy system in whatever creative form you decide. Mine is colorful pipes. No matter what is happening during your day, every chance you get, try to visualize or imagine what is going on inside with you. Take five seconds or more to note how you feel, what sensations you have in your body, how your mood is. Is there a pain somewhere, or itchy/scratchy/uncomfortable feeling somewhere? Pay attention to that for just a moment, to it's location, it's intensity, it's quality. Then send that spot some love. I mean, visualize that your system is running perfectly fine. For me, I visualize my colorful pipes, from red at the base of my spine, moving to orange at the spot below my navel, yellow at the solar plexus above the navel, green mid chest, blue at throat, purple at my brow, to clear at the top of my head. Typing that out, took longer than the whole visualization does. Just imagine, or put the thought in your mind, that there are no problems within, all the energy is flowing through you, from toe to head, you're like a perfect rainbow. Visualize it, intend for it to be so, and it is.
Later, you can do some research for yourself. What chakra is associated with that particular area of the body? Ask questions, and learn. One of the things that I have learned is that chakras respond to color, whether you're wearing the color, or seeing the color, or visualizing the color. Chakras also respond to sound, and there are specific frequencies that are supposed to affect (open, balance, unclog) each chakra. (visit youtube and search on "chakra sounds" and find some you like.) Certain smells can have an impact on your chakras, and essential oils are especially tuned into this. Decide one modality that you are drawn to, or something that is easy to incorporate into your life. Just decide to do something to help your self.
I have a board on pinterest about using color for healing, and I would love for you to connect with me there. My online shop is all about wearing your healing, using color and stones and symbols for healing chakra imbalances, but I am just one of many healing jewelry-makers. Please try to incorporate something intentionally to help your energy flow! Even if it is intentionally picking out a specific color shirt for the day!
It's possible, maybe even highly likely, that you're physically a mess. You have pains everywhere, medical issues and diagnoses. Start somewhere, is my point. Continue with whatever medical plan you have (medications, surgery, therapy), as I am not suggesting that paying attention to your chakras will solve all your problems. What I am suggesting is that paying attention will help.
My next blog article will be about my own short breathing meditation that I use to help with chakra balancing, with particular emphasis on the root chakra. I hope you are able to glean some information from this article, and I would love some feedback and comments! Please stay connected!

Mama Trep's Designs
Friday, November 13, 2015
I create things that I am moved to create.
Mama Trep's Designs (that's me) makes handmade, handcrafted, healing jewelry for body, soul and home, using sterling silver, copper, healing stones, healing crystals, healing symbols and natural elements.
I wanted to give you a little bit of background about me, and maybe some insight as to why I do what I do. This info is also on my shop's profile page, but hardly anyone ever looks there.

Bracelet with Turquoise, Silver, Quartz and Glass BeadsMy First Sale in my Etsy Shop |
I have always made things, and was encouraged
by my parents when I was a kid, who bought craft kits, or let me watch
while they cooked, or sewed, or fixed the car. I was taught to sew,
knit, crochet by my grandmother, and also taught somewhere along the
line that if something didn't work, you fixed it, or made do without it.
I am self taught regarding anything to do with crystals, wire work,
corn husks, soldering, and jewelry fabrication...and am constantly
learning. I get absorbed in the process, and am truly happy doing these
things. I found Etsy and opened my Etsy shop in 2006.
My father is an artist. However, I am not sure if he identifies himself with that. I watched him as I was growing up, repair engines, and take dents out of cars, and later, take plane wrecks and make them beautiful, working airplanes. I grew up around torches, and finally picked one up in the Fall of 2014. In working with wire and metal, I find it is forgiving, it is resilient, and I am stubborn enough not to give up until it is "right." I am constantly trying to do things better, to learn new techniques or improve the process.

Quartz Crystal Pendant, Wire Wrapped Pendant, Clear Quartz Necklace |
There are pretty things in
this world, and my love of sacred geometry drives some of my design
(spirals), as does the natural element (crystals and stones). The beauty
found in nature can provoke an inward glance at self, and in creating
with these elements, I am on a personal journey. Wire wrapped crystals
and stones were the first "product" that I sold, and I have been
wrapping them for over 15 years.
I believe in energy healing, the healing energy of crystals and gemstones, sound and light (or color), and Mother Earth, nature. I easily incorporate this into what I do, the things that I make with my hands, as this is ME. In fact, it is probably a prerequisite for what I do. Recently, I learned of the word numinosity, and how symbols may invoke a response. When I make something, it usually has a special meaning or specific purpose, to raise the vibrations of someone or something in this world.
I am known as Mama Trep, which is a combination name originating from my Yahoo ID, intrepidsoulmate, years ago. The word, "intrepid," means fearless and persistent. When I became a Mama for the second time later in life, some friends online shortened my yahoo name to Mama Trep, and the name just stuck.
