Spiritual & Physical Benefits of Howlite
-
1Howlite balances and enhances your Third Eye and Crown chakras. The Third Eye and Crown chakras are 2 of 7 energy centers in the body that are believed to be responsible for our ability to see the bigger picture and live in the present moment. Because howlite promotes a clear consciousness and helps us overcome mental obstacles, it enhances our ability to tap into our Third Eye and Crown chakra, bringing us closer to our highest self.[1]
- Howlite’s connection to the Third Eye chakra (associated with infinite knowledge and spiritual wisdom) is thought to make it a particularly useful crystal in helping people remember details of their past lives!
- Much like the Crown chakra, which helps us to feel inspired and positive, howlite acts similarly by clarifying any negative energy that might come our way, making it easier to focus on the good rather than the bad.
-
2Howlite calms the mind, body, and spirit. Howlite is a powerful stone known for its ability to banish negative energy and level turbulent emotions. By promoting feelings of calm, users of howlite find it easier to move past negative emotions like anger and fear, allowing them to make better decisions and communicate effectively without the influence of clouded judgment.[2]
- Howlite douses the flames with a cool, calming energy stream when emotions get heated. Fiery feelings are no match for this crystal’s incredible ability to level one’s emotions, making it beneficial to have on hand in stressful environments like work.
- Howlite is one of Gemini’s birthstones, so those who fall under this sign may find it especially effective in calming down after an argument or looking past one’s own feelings to make better decisions.

3Howlite is believed to have physical healing properties. This bone-colored stone is thought to provide several health benefits, such as promoting calcium production in the body, leading to a stronger skeleton, healthy teeth, and luscious hair. Additionally, howlite is believed to ease insomnia by helping users get more hours of quality sleep.[3]
- Howlite is also a crystal you can use to remind you to stay hydrated. Because howlite needs water to flourish and grow, it is believed that this water-loving crystal radiates energy that can influence you to drink up!

How to Use Howlite
-
1Put howlite under your pillow to promote a restful night’s sleep. If you have trouble getting to bed easily or often find yourself kept awake by an overactive mind, howlite is the perfect stone for you. Place your small howlite crystal under your pillow or on your bedside table to activate your howlite’s incredible ability to ease the mind and lull you to sleep with the help of a calm conscious.[4]
- Enhance the power of your howlite by charging it with a positive intention before placing it under your pillow or near your bed. Hold it in your hand and affirm, “I fall asleep easily and always feel well-rested when I wake up.”
-
2Hold howlite during meditation to enhance your intuition. Navigating the countless decisions that each day brings can be overwhelming. If you’ve been feeling confused about how to move forward in your career or personal life, meditating with howlite in your hand or on your body is an excellent way to clear mental blockages and get you closer to understanding what it is you need from life to be happy.[5]
- Sit with your legs crossed, back straight, and your eyes closed. Hold your howlite crystal in one hand or hold it to your forehead to connect with your Crown and Third Eye chakras. Then, take 15-20 minutes of deep breathing to meditate on how best to proceed in your unique situation.
-
3Keep howlite on your desk to promote focus. With so many different tasks at hand, it’s easy to zone out and get off track! If you could use a productivity boost, set your howlite crystal on your desk or in your office space to stop those distracting thoughts, and focus on what matters.[6]
- If you find yourself starting to daydream or dwell on an unhelpful thought, look at or touch your howlite crystal wherever you’ve chosen to display it in your office space to re-center yourself on whatever you’re meant to be working on.
-
4Wear howlite jewelry to encourage positivity and calm the mind. Howlite is an incredible catalyst for positive thinking because it mops up negative thoughts and promotes clarity of mind. Wear howlite jewelry to soothe your mind and soul from the day's stressors.[7]
- If you get anxious throughout the day, touch your howlite bracelet, ring, or necklace for support and a reminder to stay present.
-
5Carry howlite to regulate your emotions and better communicate. Carrying a small howlite crystal in your purse or pocket is an easy way to work through turbulent emotions and better communicate your feelings to others without getting too worked up. If you have a conflict that’s causing you to lose control of your emotions, like a disagreement with a loved one, or a problem at work, howlite is the perfect crystal to help you calm down and see things more clearly.[8]
- If you feel yourself slipping into an unwanted emotional state like anger or frustration, take your howlite from wherever you’ve stored it and rub it in your hand. Doing so will distract you and calm you in a way similar to meditation, without the hassle of sitting down for an allotted amount of time without distractions.

Cleansing and Charging Howlite
-
1Refresh your howlite under running water. Cleansing your crystals couldn’t be easier! All you need to do to refresh your howlite and get it ready for use is run it underwater in your sink or bathtub for around a minute. A good shower is all it takes to send any negativity your crystal might have picked up straight down the drain.[9]
- You can even rinse your howlite in bodies of water like creeks, rivers, and the ocean.
-
2Purify your howlite with a sound healing bowl. A sound healing bowl uses sound vibrations to cleanse the energy of whatever’s near it. Place your howlite in the center of your sound healing bowl, then tap the bowl with a wooden stick or mallet to cleanse your crystal.[10]
- You can use a sound healing bowl to cleanse other special and emotionally significant items, like jewelry.
-
3Charge your howlite in the moonlight. Supercharge your howlite’s energy by leaving it in the moonlight overnight. As a bonus, the moon’s energy is thought to empower your crystals with calm, intuitive energy![11]
- A full moon is a particularly powerful night to leave out your crystals for charging.
