Howlite flies with soft wings on a calm breeze. Think of this marbled stone like a shoulder to rest on. Honing the element of air’s ability to shift and flow, Howlite brings patience, focus, and clear vision to your headspace. This effect stems from the crown chakra opening to release fearful, repetitive, and anxious thoughts. Howlite makes room in your mind for better visions like goals, ambitious beliefs, and retaining learned information. With a softening of your intellect, you can sleep better and make more intentional actions. This is a great stone for the lifelong student to keep the brain in check by allowing downtime for the soul.

A unique healer, Howlite brings soul energy into both the crown and root chakras. Through these two centers, your emotional healing is brought through both the mind and body. Trauma from stress, anxiety, and negative memories that manifest through physical ailments is softened and transformed with Howlite. To bring in its healing energy, set Howlite in soft lit rooms or quiet spaces. Placed under the pillow, it is an excellent antidote to insomnia, especially when it is caused by an overactive mind. A yoga space, sacred altar, or even in a potted plant fosters a connection to divine emotional balance, clarity, and release of burdens that don’t serve you.

Seeking emotional and mental clarity is all about silencing the voices in your head. The ego makes your fears a reality and drives you to feel bad about yourself. Quiet its voice by clearing the mind with Howlite. This marbled stone works best when the environment echoes its energy. Light candles, switch off devices, and turn off electric lights. Dress comfortably and lie down on a soft surface. Bring the softness of Howlite into your life and it will soak deep into your soul. Set Howlite on your forehead or above your head on the floor. Envision all your negative thoughts bagged up and tossed away into a beam of light. Watch as the bags transform from black to glowing white. Let Howlite hold all your baggage and carry it as light as a feather. Your negativity is nothing but a dream.

Howlite is commonly found with a chalky white exterior and black marble-like veins running through it. However, it can also be found in a crystalline form consisting of clear or brownish color. It is rare to be found as a crystal; which makes the two mines located in California and Nevada precious finds as they are the only ones in the world to have crystalline Howlite deposits.

If you’re looking for a crystal ally this semester, Howlite is one of the best for memory retention and encouraging a deeper desire for knowledge and understanding. An ambitious stone, it will assist students with finding a purpose and drive in their studies.
