Mythology

The name sodalite means “stone of sodium” and it was discovered recently, so 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.

Effect on the body

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 relieves 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-assertion, helps overcome obsolete mental patterns and 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 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 “repressed” and harbored 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 subject in acquiring a deep vision of reality and opening the mind. It contributes to the creation of ideas through the word and allows the subject to express themselves with confidence.
