I have been working with this gentle white tumbled stone for about four days now. Unfortunately it is not on the healing crystals website, about the best description online can be found here.
I first started using it I believe on Thursday (or could have been Friday!) in combination with my Sodalite because I was noticing a lot of negative self-talk and feelings of anger related to stressors in my life right now, and emotions which may or may not also be related to PMSy type issues also. The first day, it calmed me right down and helped me to enjoy life in the moment and not be quick to anger or have negative chatter in my head.
Since then, I have used the Howlite on it's own, just carrying it in my pocket and also sleeping with it under my pillow. I have remained calm, and have also been able to not react with anger to stressful situations/conversations but still be able to speak my truth when needed. I especially like the calming effect it has at night...where I often toss and turn before I can sleep, I have noticed I am falling right to sleep and sleeping soundly. I am also dreaming a lot, and the dreams seem to be my subconscious working out issues that bug me. They aren't prophetic, and actually don't even make much sense, and are usually pretty funny, but they do seem to be helping me emotionally on some level. I even woke myself up this morning as I was "karate kicking" someone in the face LOL (luckily I was facing away from my husband! LOL) This was especially funny to us because my husband is a black belt and he also "fights" people in his sleep so he has to be very careful not to fall asleep with his hands above his head as he fears he might hit me while we sleep
Unlike a lot of crystals though where I don't seem to need the crystal on me to feel it working, so far with the Howlite I have actually needed to feel it in my pocket or in my hand for the most part to be able to remain calm and centered. For example, we went out earlier and I wasn't wearing anything with pockets so I slipped the howlite into my crystal bag in my purse. While we were out a conversation brought up some upsetting information and I felt myself getting angry and sort of "stewing" about this new information...I did not feel as calm without the howlite in my pocket or where I could stick my hand into the pocket and feel it there. Once I got home and got it back in my pocket I don't feel as angry about the situation. I actually feel a bit dependent on it for the moment, but hopefully that will pass once I sort out a few of my stress issues
Incidentally, maybe this is why when I think of this stone in my mind the emphasis is always on the "howl" (when actually it is named after someone called "How"). heheh
