This stone brings peace and clarity of mind – its black lines, however, signify that the mind is still at work, focused, not shut off. The healing properties of howlite provide a wave of calm that can talk you down and shift your perspective on tough situations. Like a sponge, it absorbs stress and anxiety and deals with dark energy when you can’t. The stone is a potent healer and auric cleanser, taking some of the burdens off your shoulders so that you can better manage your emotions. Howlite is a crystal of compassion, as well. Finally, Howlite contains the spiritual quality of open-mindedness. This functions perfectly with compassion, as open-mindedness allows all ideas and thoughts to come together inside of us without judgment. As you encounter new challenges, arguments, ideas, and persuasions, you can consult your Howlite crystal, which gently asks you to investigate each of these with gentleness for yourself.
