Effect
Sodalite offers insight into yourself and helps you be true to yourself. It promotes self-acceptance, self-respect, and self-confidence. It helps break through limiting thought and behavior patterns such as self-defense mechanisms, fears, and phobias. It promotes a desire for freedom, idealism, truth, and the expression of your opinions and feelings. Sodalite strengthens logic, rational thinking, and objectivity, uniting these with intuition. The stone absorbs electromagnetic radiation from sources such as computers and mobile phones and stimulates deep, insightful meditation. Sodalite can also be used effectively in groups to enhance harmony, trust, and solidarity. Physically, the stone helps with complaints of the throat, neck, larynx, and vocal cords (particularly hoarseness). It has antipyretic, antihypertensive, and cooling properties, promotes a balanced metabolism, and stimulates fluid absorption.
Care
Sodalite can be cleansed and charged in all ways.
