Sodalite

Sodalite is a stone of insight, helping one penetrate paradox and contradiction in order to form a new synthesis of thought.  It enhances the mental powers of analysis, intuition, observation and creativity and is stimulating to one's latent genius.  It facilitates self-discipline, efficiency, organisation and structure in research and other mental pursuits.  It is an excellent stone for writers, business people, teachers, students, psychologists and those who delve into philosophy.

Sodalite is one of the tones of the deep journey.  It provides insight into the self and a dispassionate assessment of one's motivations, strengths, weaknesses, desires, gifts and patterns of personal destiny.  If one is doing deep meditations or taking shamanic journeys, Sodalite can be an important ally.  It can reinforce one's 'witness' consciousness, making one more able to view and remember the scenes and symbols presented.  It brings a kind of stubborn courage into oneself making it more likely that one will hold on through difficult or painful aspects of the path to the Source.  It stimulates psychic vision and multileveled understanding, sharking the 'aha!' moments wherein one sees the pattern that connects the inner and outer worlds and the events that happen in both places at once.

As a stone of insight and pattern recognition, Sodalite can aid astrologers, numerologists, tarot readers, as well as those individuals who consult the I Ching and other oracles.  It helps one translate the archetypal patterns revealed in the oracles into meaningful understanding regarding the events in earthly life.  It also helps intuitive readers assess the personalities and energy patterns of their clients.

Sodalite can increase one's capacity for intuition.  It increases the frequency and accuracy of one's 'hunches' and gives one confidence in one's inner knowing.  It helps one to let go of the self-judgment that causes 'second-guessing'.  It also facilitates entering a deep meditative state and opens the subconscious.  This helps one recall and heal wounds from the past and receive symbolic imagery from the wise part of the self that communicates without words.

Sodalite evokes images from deep within the subconscious, enabling one to perceive one's core lessons in this lifetime and to understand where one is on the path to completing them.  Sodalite acts as a guide on inner travels - through meditation, dream time, or shamanic journeying.  It aids one in staying focussed on the moment, without having being distracted by past of future concerns.  Sodalite helps one integrate all aspects of oneself into the now, sone one may use all one's learning and experiences to deal with the lesson at hand.

Sodalite can be effective in achieving hypnotic or trance states.  It removes one from the pressures and worries of life and allows one to sink deeply into the subconscious and unconscious minds.  It can be used to help one recall one's dreams or to practice lucid dreaming.

Sodalite helps one perceive where one's path lies.  It acts as a 'signpost' on one's personal journey, helping one become immersed in the experience of spiritual growth, without obsessing on the 'magick tricks' that can go with one's awakening.

Sodalite cultivates detachment from the concerns and worries of everyday life.  It can reduce stress and anxiety by allowing one to see one's reality from a higher, more serene perspective.

Sodalite can be used to help support the regulation of blood pressure, easing water retention and improving cellular hydration.
