Many cultures over the years have used Sodalite to bring courage and calmness. It’s our turn now with the energies of September ramping up… below are some random notes about the stone which I was guided to use for the blog. Read them and see which ones are useful for you at this time – and don’t be surprised if it is all of them.
Sodalite is a very underestimated and underused stone! I was just going to write a piece about how Sodalite can help with a mercury retrograde, but when I really started thinking about it – blimey! It’s the stone for just about everything that is happening now… make sure you get a bit and use it!
And remember – if you set an intention before you start working it will be very beneficial. Clear intentions after all do get clear results! And this is what we really all need right now as we practice being in the eye of the storm which is all around us at the moment.
Affirmation for Working with Sodalite
I open my intuition fully in the present moment.
Using sodalite by holding it – what could be simpler!
-
If held in the left hand – it will bring a sense of companionship and comfort, easing whatever emotional state you are in at the time you hold it.
-
If held in the right hand – it will draw out and dispel negativity and clear it, but it will also require cleaning afterwards.
Using Sodalite on the Chakras
-
Brow – it opens and activates the chakra, beginning the process gently, by clearing any fears around the issue of seeing. It reminds you there is order to the universe and that it is safe to look. It can also be used on the brow (with intention) to dispel illusion.
-
Throat – it helps release emotions caught in the throat, especially tension and uncertainty about what you should say.
-
Heart – it can be used on this chakra (with intent) to release any fear or worry trapped inside it.
-
Sacral – it activates this chakra, bringing a sense of peace and grounding.
Using Sodalite at the Brow Chakra
Place the stone on the brow chakra and ask for help with any of the things listed below.
Please do not ask for them all at once!!
Work with one thing until you get the sense you have finished (and this may take more than one session, depending on the amount of negativity which needs to be shifted) and complete it before moving on to the next. If it is a difficult issue, I would suggest working on the levels separately i.e. physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.
- It opens the brow chakra, stimulating the chakra and the qualities associated with it.
- It connects you to your intuition. It can also help you access fine levels of intuitive information and promote the understanding of these concepts.
-
It stimulates self-confidence
-
It promotes self-trust, self-esteem and self-acceptance.
-
It helps you see the truth in any situation and helps you be true to yourself.
-
It helps you to stand up for your beliefs.
-
It brings your shadow qualities in to the light to be dealt with without judgement so they can be dealt with
-
It helps with communication on all levels, and can help you speak more compassionately about yourself.
-
It allows you to use your inner vision rather than your outer vision to see the path you are you are seeking or the path you are on more clearly.
-
It brings a much deeper understanding of and a much deeper connection with your spiritual self.
-
It promotes wisdom and knowledge and helps you communicate you own wisdom and knowledge in your own unique way.
You can also use Sodalite on the throat and brow chakras together. Place a piece on each chakra and this will help by giving you access to your subconscious mind, allowing the transfer of subtle images from the subconscious into the conscious mind. It will also help you to become aware of the patterns in your life, especially ones which occur over and over again, sometimes presenting in different ways so you do not always recognise them. It will enable you to see their true meaning and purpose. It will also enhance your ability to express more fully and easily what you find when sodalite takes you into a deep medative state.

Using Sodalite to Calm your Mind
-
Relax and focus on breath
-
Connect with your Sodalite and set the intention that you would like its help to clear your mind. Then place the stone at the brow chakra. It will help open the chakra as well as give you relief from thoughts that are over-analytical or over emotional. It will also give you an opportunity to see things from a different perspective.
-
While working with the Sodalite to release any thoughts which are plaguing you, feel the energy of the stone fill the brow chakra and then radiate out into the aura, sending soothing, calming energy through your while energy body, clearing away stress and bringing balance to your emotions.
Long Term Work with Sodalite
This can bring beneficial changes in your attitude towards yourself. It helps you to become more objective and less critical about your life and the way you live it.
Ask your stone to help you with this in the most appropriate way and for your highest and greatest good, then carry the stone for as long as you need to. It could be days or weeks, depending on how easy it is for you to release negative thought and behaviour patterns.
If the stone is a necklace, having it next to you skin will be the best way to access the energy of the stone. If this is not possible, touch the stone from time to time, and think about what you are intending to do to re-enforce your intention to release negative ways of thinking and reacting to things which happen in your life. If it is in a pocket or pouch, take it out from time to time and do the same.
Well, I think this will probably give you some idea of how useful Sodalite can be at this transitional time – go and get a bit immediately if you don’t have any!
But, then, of course, in all this madness, you have to make sure you find the time to work with it.
