Howlite’s aesthetic contrast of black and white is symbolic of the delineation that everything has its place.  Things in the past should stay in the past, and Howlite can be used to release attachments or cords linking us to old emotional pain from this life or past lives.  Imagine your Howlite crystal like a badass flick knife or light sabre, severing those unhealthy attachments and preparing you to process and go forward in peace. 

The wake of such calming can help you be truly comfortable as yourself without the need to pretend to be anything but what you are.
