Howlite: The Most Underrated Stone Ever!

Howlite — The Most Underrated Stone Ever!

Match the color that you wear to your inner vibrational frequency.

Welcome back to The Schapera Show, where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. This is the part of the show where I, Vivien, talk to crystals and today we are talking to Howlite. While we are all running around oohing and aahing over expensive crystals like Tourmaline and Aquamarine, there is a freely available, inexpensive option that is unbelievably versatile and powerful and it is called “Howlite.”

Howlite has to be the most underrated stone ever. Its appearance is pleasant enough — to me it looks a little bit like the marble we see on kitchen countertops — white with grey veins, but its effect is phenomenal!

Let’s first talk about Howlite’s versatility. It is so versatile, that it gets dyed and sold as: Turquoise, Lapis, Sodalite, Aventurine and Sugilite. There are two aspects to dyeing a stone. The first is to resemble the other stone — so that means the end buyer can be fooled into thinking the Howlite is one of these other stones, Turquoise for example, because of what it looks like. But let’s remember, we all ultimately decide on buying a stone, not because of what it looks like — even if this is the initial attraction — but because of how it feels. And if we look up the most sought-after properties of Turquoise, Lapis, Sodalite, Aventurine and Sugilite we discover that lo and behold — Howlite has those properties too!

Here’s an example of how Howlite is underrated: Melody says in her Mineral Encyclopedia: “Howlite has been used to eliminate pain, stress and rage; hence it is quite nice to have around.” (p.364) I mean really!!! What more can we want — and then all Howlite gets is a “quite nice,” instead of a “pretty darn spectacular!”

So, what are these spectacular properties that Howlite has? Howlite:

• Supports reason, observation and patience, as well as memory and the pursuit of knowledge — thereby supporting the intellect
• Antidotes over-critical behaviors, selfishness, and facetiousness
• Supports emotional balance
• Builds “innate decency,” paving the path to spirituality

Additionally, Howlite can “lessen both rudeness and boisterousness, and can further provide for a reflection of the offender to the offender. It discourages impertinent behavior and encourages subtlety and tact.” p.364

Physiologically, Howlite is also good for balancing calcium and helping issues with teeth, bone and soft tissue.

In summary, Howlite positively affects us physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually — which is why it can be disguised, with mere dye, as a host of significant stones. Bottom line: Don’t throw your dyed stones out just because they are dyed, your dyed stones are quite probably Howlite, a dignified contender.

When I ask Howlite what it wants to say to you all, it is quite clear: “Ask yourself: “Am I being underrated by myself or others? The answer is probably ‘yes.’”

And then, in a very surprising twist, Howlite adds: “There is a saying: ‘The clothes maketh the man.’ This is true! I become appreciated and recognized when I am dyed a different color, because that is when my core traits — my true value — become perceived.

“Choose your clothes to reflect your inner nature and you will enjoy life even more. The principle is to have to your clothes match your inner vibrational frequency so that you both feel 100% comfortable and people can recognize what lies under the surface. One of the best ways to do this, is through the correct use of color. Each color has its vibrational frequency and by matching the color that you wear with your vibrational frequency, you support and enhance your energy.

“In your culture, you tend to all dress the same — like a uniform — depicting that you ‘belong.’ This is OK, but you also need to show who you are. Let your colors and your clothes harmonize correctly with your vibrational frequency and you will be quite gratified at what happens next.”

Well, thank you, Howlite. I am quite gratified to receive such surprising and helpful insights from you, and clearly … next stop is “shopping!”

Thank you all for joining us here on The Schapera Show. Please join us again next month!

Crystals for Dehydration and Electrolyte Balance

 In the last few months, I’ve noticed a recurring theme in private sessions, namely dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. This typically happens after heat, exercise and illness. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance set up an urgency in the session. There is no way we can benefit from healing work when the physical body is compromised in this manner. On a related note, I should also say, that practitioners cannot deliver decent Energy Healing and Bodywork sessions if they themselves are tending toward dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

The first step has to be to rectify the imbalance. When I notice such an issue in an in-person session, I ask the person to sit up and I provide an initial 8 oz of water, and after that, I can resume the session. If it is a remote session, I ask the person to get herself a drink of water.

But even once the water has been drunk, there is still more work to do. Firstly, 8 oz of water will be insufficient if the client has been dehydrated and secondly, a glass of water does not provide any of the necessary electrolytes. Consequently, there will be a significant lag between drinking the water and achieving the desired balance in the physical body. Note that when it comes to electrolytes, drinking big quantities of water can actually cause a dilution of the electrolytes, and this is physiologically undesirable.

Fortunately, all is not lost, because crystals can help. The crystal that works excellently with all water-related issues, is Moonstone. For yourself, or an in-person session, take a smooth piece of Moonstone, like a sphere, a lingam or a palm stone, and rub this on the abdomen, chest, shoulders, back, legs and feet. In Crystal Surgery we call this “first layer infusion.”

In a remote session, place the proxy crystal on a “bed” of Moonstone. This is done by putting two Moonstone palm stones down in the work space, and then placing the proxy crystal on top of the Moonstone. Next, use a Moonstone wand to grid the proxy crystal, distributing the Moonstone energy throughout the energy field.

Another stone that can help is Magnesite. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Magnesite, it looks a lot like Calcite, and is chemically very similar to Calcite, except it is less stable. Actually, it is this instability that makes it so helpful to us — because it is releasing desirable ions of Magnesium into our energy field. Among other things, Magnesite helps our nerves, and helps our electrolyte balance.

Another important mineral is Phosphorous. A crystal that is rich in Phosphorous is Apatite. Again, you can either infuse the Apatite into the first layer of the energy field, in the same way as described with Moonstone, or you can grid with it. Apatite has a remarkably calming effect, probably because of the way it induces balance.

Using Moonstone, Magnesite and Apatite, in these ways can be very refreshing, but you, or your client, MUST follow up. Remember that dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are physiological conditions that seriously compromise the physical body and therefore, sensible physical measures should also be applied. If, like me, you don’t want to use sugary drinks with artificial coloring, in the name of good health, find a high quality electrolyte drink to keep on hand, at work, at home and when exercising.

Personally, I think it is a pity to use the time of a crystal healing session to correct a physiological imbalance that a) shouldn’t have been allowed to happen in the first place and b) can be corrected by availing one’s self of the excellent products that are so easily available to us these days. Let’s be more responsible, and attend to our hydration and electrolyte balance on a daily basis — a sure step to enjoying improved health and vitality.

Guest Post: Creating Positivity and Peace – 7 Amazing Crystals for Your Home

Your home is your safe haven, the place you go to recharge and be at peace, so naturally keeping this space safe will become your priority. Sometimes threats in our home are not physical, they can be energetic as well.

Like burglar bars and alarm systems which protect you from physical harm, crystals are believed to have strong qualities that protect your home’s energy and spiritual atmosphere. This guide will take you through seven crystals you could place in your home to generate a peaceful and positive environment.

To get a better understanding of crystals and their spiritual effect, it is helpful if you understand your body in the energetic sense.

Understanding Your Body

Our bodies often play a role in what manifests into our physical environment/reality.  For example, if you are often stressed and plagued by negative thoughts, that negativity infuses your whole life. Think about how thought precedes manifestation: How many times have you thought about either an object or a person, and then very shortly afterwards you see that object, or hear from that person? Yes, it happens to us all the time!

That is why it is essential to monitor your mind, your thoughts and your heart because very often what happens around us synchronizes with our energy. Although you cannot stop yourself from having a negative thought, the important step to take is to consciously and consistently follow the negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

Thoughts are the familiar manifestations of the brain and mind and on their own, thoughts are neutral. However, their quality – whether they are negative or positive, destructive or constructive, depends on our energy. The best-known components of our human energy system are the chakras.

The 7 Chakras

Chakras are described as energy centers in your body, specifically situated along a central column. In the most commonly recognized chakra map, taken from the Vedic culture, there are seven chakras, namely; the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and the crown chakra. The chakras are also numbered from one to seven, with the root chakra being the first chakra and the crown chakra being the seventh. Additionally, the chakras have specific rainbow colors associated with them: Red for root, orange for sacral, yellow for solar plexus, green and pink for heart, sky-blue for throat, navy blue/indigo for third eye and violet for crown.

Guest Post: Tried-and-Tested Smoking Cessation Methods and Crystals to Use

 

Despite plenty of warnings from health experts, many people still smoke. Maybe you’re one of them, and you want to quit but know it’s a challenging process. Since smokers may use cigarettes as a coping mechanism or a way to socialize, it can be hard to kick the habit. In fact, Tobacco Free Life notes you can relapse months or even years after you quit smoking.

That’s why you may want to turn to more holistic methods to boost your chances of success. If you frequent this site, you may be wondering: can crystals help me quit smoking? The answer is yes! Crystals can boost the effects of proven cessation methods by helping you sustain energetic focus on the outcome you want.

If you struggle with quitting, here are some tried-and-tested smoking cessation methods and the crystal suggestions that could work best with them:

NRTs & Carnelian

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is one of the most highly-recommended smoking interventions by doctors. It uses tobacco-free nicotine products to address smoking withdrawal symptoms so you can quit gradually over time. Oral NRT products include the nicotine pouch, which is placed between your upper lip and gum. Pouches are a popular cessation method due to their wide variety of flavors and strengths. This comparison between Rogue and ZYN nicotine pouches outlines how they both offer flavors ranging from mint and cinnamon to make the transition more enjoyable. Their low to medium strength range also allows users to easily consume lower doses over time. Meanwhile, non-oral NRT products include nicotine patches from market leaders Novartis and GSK, which release nicotine in the bloodstream when worn. These last for up to 24 hours for ease of use.

Since NRT is meant to wean you off cigarettes, Carnelian is a pro-active choice. Carnelian is believed to be a powerful addiction fighter, often used to maintain sobriety. Many people use Carnelian to mitigate bodily issues such as cramps, which is why it can be used to combat smoking withdrawal symptoms. Pair Carnelian with NRTs to successfully curb the physiological cravings that lead to relapse.

Exercise & Peridot

Exercise is one of the healthier ways to overcome cigarette addiction. It is an effective method to reduce cravings, as it distracts the body and keeps it active. It also strengthens the heart and the lungs, which can fight against some of the negative effects caused by smoking. To achieve this, experts recommend high-intensity aerobic exercises that get the blood pumping. Some great activities for these include running, swimming, and cycling. Exercise can also combat some of the aftereffects of smoking cessation, such as weight gain and depression.

This is why you should supplement the benefits of working out with Peridot. We note in our article “Crystal Surgery Meditation to Boost the Immune System” that it provides energetic walls and is associated with detoxing. Peridot is said to support the regeneration of cells and tissues, so it may help your body recover after quitting smoking and in between workouts. It could even potentially boost your metabolism to help with the weight gain quitting smoking brings.

Cold Turkey & Amazonite

Experts agree that cold turkey is perhaps one of the hardest ways to quit cigarettes. Many who have tried to quit have emphasized the mental battle that occurs in this situation, as smokers would have nothing to rely on if they feel any cravings or symptoms. Although difficult, it’s not entirely impossible as long as there is proper preparation. First, it’s important to understand what your smoking triggers are, so you can avoid them. The Roswell Park Care Center lists some of these, including stress, boredom, and drinking alcohol. It’s also best to find an activity that can occupy your time, such as reading a new book or attending a class, as the temptation to go back to cigarettes is the strongest during the first week of quitting.

You can increase your likelihood of succeeding with this strategy by using Amazonite. This crystal is associated with strengthening mental fortitude. It delivers a soothing effect that balances your emotions. It can also increase a person’s tolerance to overcome feelings of boredom and agitation. As such, engaging the assistance of Amazonite could give you the courage and the endurance to quit smoking cold turkey.

Quitting smoking is a challenge best tackled holistically. Try pairing appropriate crystals with these tried-and-tested methods to boost your chances of success!
