And how about becoming more lucid? To relax and calm your mind? To finally overcome those fears that hinder you?
For every problem, there is always a solution. In this specific case, it is called “sodalite”!
Indeed, this magical-colored stone has a large number of virtues that we will gladly share with you!
In this article, you will also find the history of sodalite, the ways to take advantage of its power and our combination advice.
Training
La sodalite is a mineral composed of sodium silicate, aluminum and chlorine.
Usually royal blue in color with white veins, it can also take on green, pink, yellow, red or even purple hues. (1)
This semi-precious stone is most often found in Greenland, Canada and Afghanistan. There are also several deposits in France and Italy.
Although very hard, the sodalite is a relatively fragile stone, which makes it quite difficult to carve.
It sometimes happens that this stone is confused with the lapis lazuli, due to their similar colors.
To differentiate them, remember that the lapis lazuli presents small very pronounced yellow spots. The sodalite, meanwhile, has larger white veins ; it can make us think of space!
History
Sodalite was discovered in Greenland in 1806. It is the chemist Thomas thomson who, in 1811, analyzed it for the first time. (2)
This astonishing bluish stone is then baptized sodalite; soda for “sodium” and lite for “stone” (lithos in Greek).
Little known to jewelers, it met with little success until 1901, when the princess Mary of Teck discovered her during a royal trip to Canada.
The Welsh princess then falls in love with this stone in the colors of night; she had a large quantity delivered to decorate her palace in London.
On her return to England, she organized a huge social ball in the same palace, which is now richly decorated.
The success of the evening is such that sodalite quickly becomes fashionable with the British nobility.
Ornaments, jewels, lucky charms, this gem is the court happiness… and the wealth of jewelers !
It will only take a few years for all of Europe to discover this magnificent stone … and its amazing virtues !
Emotional benefits
Peace, relaxation and relaxation
Considered a stone of wisdom, sodalite is an excellent choice for a calm and zen atmosphere.
The waves emitted by this stone are suitable for both calm and more nervous temperaments!
In any case, the mere presence of this stone will serve to calm the atmosphere.
By keeping your sodalite close to you, enjoy an inspiring, restful and pleasant environment, anywhere and anytime!
Likewise, since you will be relaxed, this stone will help you fall asleep more easily, but it can also greatly improve the quality of your sleep.
Clairvoyance, awareness and lucidity
Sodalite has the particularity of being related to the third eye chakra. This chakra, once opened, grants us lucidity.
In this way, we better understand what is going on around us and in the world, but we also see it more clearly in our mind.
We become aware of our actions, of our behavior, but also of who we really are. (3)
We look at things with objectivity and realism.
This stone is ideal if you want to discover yourself more in depth and go in search of yourself.
With the help of this stone, we more easily identify the bad waves around us.
It is therefore easier for us to protect ourselves against malicious people.
Be aware that the effects of sodalite are strong enough to spread throughout an entire room.
Do not hesitate to place it where you think that behaviors are not always healthy and where you would like a general awareness !
Diffusion of positive energies
This effect complements the previous point.
In addition to clearing negative energies and causing us to question ourselves, sodalite develops empathy and mutual understanding.
It strengthens our self-esteem as well as our esteem for others. We are becoming more united, more ready to give our trust. (4)
We are more aware of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, which enables us to act accordingly.
We understand the reactions of such and such a person, and that brings us closer to them!
Ally against fears and phobias
As a worthy stone of calm and gentleness, sodalite is a solution to phobias, fears and nightmares.
Its calming power makes us relativize things, and find the source of our fears. Sodalite will quickly become your precious ally.
Moreover, I strongly recommend this stone for a child who is afraid of the dark or who has nightmares at night.
Its color is often appreciated by the little ones, and its reassuring effects are well suited to their life cycle!
If you feel a sudden fear or encounter your phobia, take your sodalite in your hand and squeeze it really hard.
Its powerful and reassuring energy will help you regain the upper hand quickly.
Physical benefits
Eye Protection sign
Also in conjunction with the third eye chakra, sodalite is very beneficial for eye health.
Lithotherapists believe that this stone can soothe eye irritations such as conjunctivitis.
It is also considered that it decreases the risk of deterioration of vision, whether linked to old age or eye fatigue.
Treatment of eczema
Sodalite is very effective in fighting skin allergies.
In the same way that it protects the eyes, its proximity to the skin helps prevent irritation.
This stone has purifying and healing characteristics; it can therefore greatly help in the recovery of your skin!
Of course, the use of sodalite does not replace medical advice. It should only serve as a complement to conventional treatment.
Throat pain relief
When faced with a sore throat, there is usually not much to do!
Although the majority of these conditions go away after a few days with the right treatment, the pain that accompanies them can be particularly bothersome.
It turns out that sodalite is directly linked to the thymus chakra, itself located in our throat.
Thanks to this proximity, sodalite soothes ailments and calms unpleasant sensations. It is not uncommon for the pain to subside after just a day!
You will naturally be less tempted to cough, and the healing time will be shorter!
How to prepare it?
Cleanse your sodalite
As soon as you receive your stone, it is important to reprogram and purifier.
In fact, it is very common for stones to be “mistreated” between the time they are still in their natural state and the time you take possession of them.
In addition, when not maintained, sodalite massively absorbs negative waves, since it is a energy carrier stone (normally positive).
I therefore strongly recommend that you repackage before any use.
Here is the procedure for purifying your sodalite:
⦁ First of all, think carefully about what to expect from your sodalite. What benefits do you want it to bring you ? What changes would you like in your life?
By knowing exactly what you want, you will naturally reprogram your stone!
⦁ Then you just have to place your stone in a container of demineralized water. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, but no more. Sodalite tends to lose some of its color when left in water for too long.
⦁ Finally, don’t forget to dry your stone well, for the same reasons as those mentioned just above.
And There you go ! Now your sodalite is perfectly purified.
Charge your sodalite
Now it’s time to give your stone its full power!
To load it, there are several possibilities:
⦁ The first is to expose it to the moonlight for an entire night. Be sure to remove it in the morning, because this stone does not support the sun’s rays. (5)
⦁ The second, more efficient, is to drop it on a cluster of quartz or amethyst. It works even better if they are geodes. This is my favorite method, and I highly recommend it!
⦁ You can also combine the two methods, if you think that the moon is not shining enough or that your cluster is not of good enough quality. It is, in my opinion, a royal choice that will guarantee you a sodalite full of energy.
You are now ready to enjoy the countless benefits of your favorite stone!
How to use it ?
Sodalite being a very widespread stone, both in jewelry and in lithotherapy, it will be easy for you to find your happiness.
However, there are several ways to use this stone depending on what you want from it.
If you already have an idea of the benefits you are craving, then it will be easy to make up your mind!
However, to help you in your choices, here are our tips:
⦁ To combat or prevent sore throat and eye pain, the pendant remains the best option, given its proximity to the chakras concerned. Also go for the pendant if you want to improve your clairvoyance.
⦁ To fight against a skin allergy, the best thing to do is to keep the stone close enough to the inflamed skin, without it touching it. A sure bet is to attach it like a locket.
Located in the middle of your belly, sodalite will be able to transmit its regenerative waves to your entire body!
⦁ Regarding relaxation and emotional benefits, I invite you to keep your gem as it is. Put it wherever you want to enhance and lighten the mood.
Never hesitate to take it in your hand when you feel the urge: it will give you its beneficial energy!
However you wear sodalite, you will assimilate its strengths. So don’t worry about the methods!
The most important thing is that you always feel comfortable.
Combinations with other stones
Sodalite being linked to the “third eye”, it can be very interesting to combine it with other stones of the same chakra.
It’s a great way to complete its benefits, especially emotional, without risking a wrong note!
Lapis lazuli
This magnificent stone from the East is traditionally called “the stone of the wise”.
It too is strongly linked to theintuition as well as reflection and realization. It’s a excellent ally in the face of impulsiveness or naivety.
It may be advisable to couple the lapis lazuli with sodalite, if you are in the process of personal development.
With these two powerful supports, you will naturally be led to take big decisions for your life, but they will always be notified.
Perhaps the starting point towards a great success ?
Amethyst
Amethyst is the stone of calm and peace par excellence. She also embodies gentleness and joviality.
If you wanted to use sodalite for its soothing properties, then this combination will suit you perfectly.

It can therefore contribute, with sodalite, to making an atmosphere much healthier… and more zen.

Angelite is commonly considered the stone of communication.
Although it is still little known, this stone is formidably effective in certain situations, especially when it comes to teamwork.
