Howlite Pendant~JSSHOWL1

Sterling Silver Howlite Pendant~JSSHOWL1. Instead of representing death or loss, Skulls represents the important Buddhist concept of emptiness. In Buddhism, emptiness is considered to be a quality of the universe. This means that phenomena we experience has no inherent nature by itself; instead, we attach meaning to what we experience. It’s basically saying all events are neutral- but we choose to magnify them in our minds. They can also symbolize humility, reminding us that everything outside the skull is vanity. They can also represent humanity, unity, and diversity, because other than subtle differences and size, they are pretty much identical regardless, of age, sex, or race. Howlite is one of the “attunement stones” which link the user to higher spiritual consciousness.  It opens and prepares the mind to receive the energies and wisdom of attunements. It is a lovely stone to use when needing to reduce anxiety, tensions and stress.  It can be used to facilitate awareness, encourage emotional expression and assist in the elimination of pain, stress and/or rage. It can calm and soothe the emotions, slow the overactive mind and help to achieve a deep and restful sleep.  It can help to access/retrieve wisdom during the dream state and bring it back into consciousness upon waking. It brings mental awareness, both to current and past-life issues, and facilitates a calm communication of these issues. 43mm x 21mm x 7mm.
