HEALING BENEFITS
Minerals have the ability to support our healing on all levels, from the physical to the spiritual. When working with in the realm of the spirit, sodalite is an excellent choice. While many guides suggest blue minerals are best for opening the throat chakra, sodalite works even better to clear the mind and open the third eye.

Like other blue minerals sodalite has anti-inflammatory and cooling properties. It is a very grounding stone which makes it ideal for working with your third eye or intuitive center. In order to develop or intuition and psychic abilities we must be able to ground ourselves, this is the first step in that line of work. Sodalite helps to accelerate the process of tapping into our clairvoyant intelligence.

If you are in a state of confusion sodalite holds a high vibration of truth that helps to cut through the noise. This is not always a comfortable reality! If you are a teacher or work with groups sodalite can be very beneficial to everyone involved by deepening their spiritual development at whatever stage they are currently in. Sodalite can also be a big energy stimulator and is great to keep handy when you have a speaking engagement or need support with self discipline.

In addition to grounding, sodalite clears the mind so that we can tune into our wisdom and inner landscape with ease. Working with our mind can be tricky. It’s important to be able to distinguish what is a real thought and what is an emotional fantasy or a past hurt that has been activated.

Sodalite assists in processing challenging emotions and helps to keep thinking balanced when you’re going through difficult experiences. Keeping sodalite close by while working through past trauma has been a huge support to me. To increase the healing properties of sodalite use it with clear quartz.

I need all the grounding I can get these days this combination has been a huge help with healing and purifying.
