Howlite

Howlite is an extremely calming stone. Placed under the pillow, it is an excellent antidote to insomnia, especially if this is caused by an overactive mind as it helps still the mind and is therefore great for sleep and meditation. This stone strengthens the memory and stimulates a desire for knowledge, as well as formulating ambitions both spiritual and material, and aids in achieving them. Teaching patience, it helps to eliminate rage and uncontrolled anger by absorbing it, and guides you to overcome tendencies towards criticalness and selfishness, which in turn strengthens positive character traits. Howlite releases the strings that tie old emotions to present-life triggers.
