Howlite Laughing Buddha~CRHOWLLB

Howlite Laughing Buddha~CRHOWLLB. The Laughing Buddha emerged from Chinese folktales of the 10th century. The original stories of the Laughing Buddha centered on a Ch'an monk named Ch'i-t'zu, or Qieci, from Fenghua, in what is now the province of Zhejiang. Ch'i-t'zu was an eccentric but much-loved character who worked small wonders, such as predicting the weather. Chinese history assigned the date of 907-923 CE to Ch't'zu's life, which means he lived considerably later than the historical Shakyamuni, the true Buddha. One of the best feng shui locations for a Laughing Buddha is close to the front door so that you can see it as you come home. Laughing Buddha is considered to be a patron of children. Laughing Buddha is used in feng shui to bring good luck, abundance, happiness, success, good health; any feng shui bagua area can benefit from the sparkling energy of the Laughing Buddha. 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.  Keep a piece of Howlite in your pocket to absorb anger and negative energy.  Meditating with it can help one to connect with the higher realms, allowing for greater communication of higher frequencies into the higher chakras, to be assimilated by the unconscious mind, which helps one to slowly remove the veils blocking truth.  It strengthens positive character traits, removing selfishness, rude behavior, and greed.  29mm x 30mm x 19mm
