Benefits for the body

Rose Quartz alleviates heart problems, regulates the circulatory system, and lowers high blood pressure. As pink is a soothing color, it combats stress, agitation, depression, insomnia, and physical and mental fatigue.

Benefits for the mind

Rose Quartz works on the mind, helping the person accept even the most difficult changes, especially those resulting from an emotional separation: it provides comfort and helps them open up to love, despite past suffering.

It helps us love without fear and alleviates the pain of lacking love, dispelling feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem. Its energy is among the most relaxing and promotes empathy, reconciliation, and forgiveness. It reduces stress and tension in the heart, eliminating anger, jealousy, envy, and resentment towards those who have caused us pain.

It is the stone of forgiveness: for ourselves, for past mistakes, and for others who have caused us pain. In this sense, it helps us thoroughly analyze the reasons behind such wrongdoings, accept and forgive them once and for all, and thus leave them behind.

Benefits for the spirit

Rose Quartz carries out a deep emotional purification, helping to release the limitations that prevent personal growth and, therefore, happiness. Unexpressed emotions often block positive changes, and over time, this can even lead to physical problems.

They block spiritual experiences and self-awareness, and Rose Quartz is the remedy: initially, it helps bring old and forgotten emotions (fear, anger, pain, etc.) to the surface from deep within, and then encourages us to express these feelings, resolving and releasing them once and for all. It stimulates an open heart, generosity, helpfulness, and a positive attitude towards life.

It is therefore a stone that opens us up to the most beautiful feelings, such as love, understanding, acceptance, and gentleness. It is the stone that nourishes all the emotions that pass through the heart.

Chakra

Fifth chakra Vishudha ("Throat") and Sixth chakra Ajna ("Forehead or Third Eye")

Mythology

The name sodalite means "stone of sodium" and it was discovered recently, therefore there is no information about its traditional use. Its classification distinct from that of lapis lazuli is recent, for this reason the virtues of the two stones were confused: sodalite, like lapis lazuli, symbolizes the starry night and the depth of the sea and evokes a divine and magical dimension.

According to a legend told in the area of San Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, a young woman fell in love with a man with a heart of stone who rejected her. Grieved by the rejection, the woman committed suicide. When he found out, he fled crying, realizing he had lost a true love, and from the union between his tears and the blue of the sky, sodalite was born.

Sodalite is indicated for throat disorders such as laryngitis. It has a calming action and can be useful in cases of insomnia and asthma. It soothes pain and inflammation, lowers high blood pressure, improves the functionality of the lymphatic system, and prevents fluid retention.

Effect on the psyche

Sodalite is a healing stone. It promotes idealism and stimulates the desire for truth and knowledge. It allows you to live your life according to your desires while remaining true to yourself. It strengthens the sense of one's identity and the ability of self-affirmation, helps overcome mental patterns and obsolete behavioral models that constitute an obstacle to personal growth, and to accept living in the present without anxiety.

Sodalite eliminates feelings of guilt and allows you to fully enjoy your emotions in complete freedom and with wisdom. It balances the masculine and feminine polarities, Yin and Yang. Its vibrations lighten the "stagnant water" on the physical plane and thus allow to rebalance those who are hypersensitive and react impulsively after having "retained" and brooded over it inside themselves for a long time.

Sodalite organizes and deepens thought, clarifies and balances one's inner voice, which draws from the chaotic and incomprehensible flow of our unconscious. It accompanies the individual in acquiring a deep vision of reality and opening the mind. It contributes to the creation of ideas through words and allows the individual to express themselves with confidence.
