Howlite

Wearing a Howlite bracelet is popularly associated with promoting calmness, patience, and sleep. In the world of crystal healing, it is widely known as the “Stone of Calm” or the “Stone of Patience.

Here is a breakdown of the specific benefits attributed to wearing Howlite, categorized by its effects:

1. Emotional & Mental Benefits

This is the primary reason most people choose Howlite. It is believed to act as a powerful emotional stabilizer.

• Reduces Stress & Anxiety: Howlite is said to act as a sponge for stress and tension, making it a popular choice for people with high-pressure jobs or generalized anxiety.

• Calms the “Monkey Mind”: If you suffer from racing thoughts that won’t stop—especially when trying to focus or sleep—Howlite is believed to help quiet mental chatter.

• Controls Anger: It is frequently used to diffuse anger and rage. This applies to both calming your own temper and shielding you from the anger directed at you by others.

• Teaches Patience: As the “Stone of Patience,” it is used to help the wearer remain composed in frustrating situations or when dealing with difficult people.

2. Physical Healing Beliefs

Note: These benefits are based on crystal lore and are not scientifically proven.

• Insomnia Relief: Because of its ability to quiet the mind, Howlite is perhaps the most famous crystal for curing insomnia. Wearing it to bed (or placing it under a pillow) is a common remedy for sleeplessness.

• Calcium Balance: Metaphysically, Howlite is linked to calcium absorption. It is often claimed to help strengthen teeth, bones, and hair, or help with issues like osteoporosis.

3. Spiritual & Metaphysical Properties

• Chakra Connection: Howlite is associated with the Crown Chakra (spiritual connection) and the Third Eye (intuition). It is used to open the mind to higher wisdom.

• Meditation Aid: Because it clears the mind of distractions, it is considered an excellent stone to wear during meditation to achieve a state of deep silence.

How to Wear It

Practitioners often suggest wearing the bracelet on a specific wrist depending on your goal:

• Left Hand (Receiving): Wear it on your left hand to receive the stone’s calming energy into your internal self (best for anxiety and sleep).

• Right Hand (Releasing): Wear it on your right hand to release your own negative energy, toxins, or anger out of your body.
