Healing Properties of Sodalite
Spiritual: Sodalite is a stone for Seekers of Truth, and anyone who finds themselves on a Spiritual Journey. It encourages us to uphold our most cherished, idealistic beliefs and to fearlessly take action to bring that idealism into reality. However, if our beliefs harm others or ignore reality, than Sodalite will gently peel away the layers from our eyes and allow us to see more clearly and compassionately. Sodalite helps us to recognize and be patient with where we are on our own Spiritual Path, and to trust that as we continue to progress, more and more will be revealed to us. Sodalite gives us the support we need to be true to ourselves and to accept both our Light and Shadow sides. It can be used to deepen our meditation, awaken our intuition, and communicate with wisdom. Sodalite is attuned to the Throat and Third Eye Chakras and linked to the astrological signs of Sagittarius. It is connected to the element of Wind and vibrates to the number 4.
Emotional: Sodalite dissolves feelings of guilt or shame, whether they come from another person or from ourselves. It encourages emotional honesty allowing us to see the real reason behind our feelings and determine what we need to do to move forward. Its calm and peaceful vibration reduces stress and worries and helps us to be a little more detached and lighthearted, rather than taking everything personally and too seriously. Sodalite encourages independence while also being an excellent stone to use in group work and to help manifest community goals. Sodalite’s energy is soft and safe, so while it asks us to look at the absolute Truth in all things, it does so with a gentle nudge rather than a fierce push.
Mental: Sodalite increases our self-awareness and gives us the tools to find true freedom, by combining our intellectual and logical mind with our intuitive gifts. It allows us to calmly view and solve our problems logically and swiftly, for the Highest Good of All. It also helps us to recognize the unconscious mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns that take us away from our true selves. Sodalite then shows us how to release these patterns and live authentically and peacefully. Sodalite can also be used to treat insomnia and to encourage lucid dreaming!
Physical: Sodalite is recommended for anyone who needs a gentle reminder to go back to the basics. It helps us to make physical self-care a priority, especially the most critical habits like getting enough sleep, drinking enough water and eating regular meals. Sodalite reminds us that our “inner-toddler” needs to be managed and we do ourselves no favors if we ignore our bodies’ basic needs. By doing this kind of self-care, Sodalite can help us to lower our blood pressure, reduce our stress levels, and generally feeling happier and healthier. Sodalite is also an excellent talisman when dealing with problems affecting the throat, especially the vocal chords and larynx. If our voice is hoarse, Sodalite reminds us to take it easy and give our body time to heal itself.
Always use wisdom when considering crystal therapies for healing.
While there are no written records describing Sodalite prior to 1811, there is tantalizing archaeological evidence that Sodalite was highly valued in ancient South America. The Caral Civilization, which boasted the earliest major city in the Americas, was centered in Peru from approximately 2600-2000 BCE. Members of this civilization traded for Sodalite mined in the Andean Altiplano, a vast sedimentary plateau in the Andes mountain range. Fragments of Sodalite have been found in many Caral archaeological sites. The Tiwanaku Civilization of Bolivia, 1500 BCE – CE 1000, likewise trade for Sodalite, which they carved into beads and other decorations.
