Sodalite encourages being true to self and standing up for your beliefs.  A stone of self expression and confidence, Sodalite can aid in issues of self worth, self acceptance, and self esteem.  Sodalite promotes intuition and a trust in one's own judgement, which can be a great ally in daily life.  Sodalite helps to achieve emotional balance, releasing old conditioning and programming of the past which no longer serves.

A stone of awakening, Sodalite stimulates the Pineal Gland and the Third Eye, and deepens meditation.  Sodalite is helpful for those who find themselves to be over-emotional, due to its ability to focus energy on the Third-Eye and Throat Chakras.  This will allow one to use more logic and intuition, rather than the emotions from an over-developed Heart Chakra.  Sodalite helps to enhance psychic abilities while discouraging any obsession about such abilities.

Sodalite encourages discipline and will in one's personal and public lives, and can be a facilitator of career advancement when used in this manner.  Carrying Sodalite during the day can help one to find efficient ways of dealing with daily tasks and problems. 

Place Sodalite next to your computer to help clear electromagnetic pollution.  Sodalite works with the Throat and Third-Eye Chakras to help and guide one on their spiritual path by opening a window into the subconscious mind, pulling subtle images into the conscious mind.  Sodalite can also be an aid to those studying symbolism and its role in the greater scheme, by helping one to become aware of the patterns that can occur over the course of one's life, and their meanings and purposes.

Physically, Sodalite can ease anxiety and panic attacks, mental confusion, and fear/phobias. Use Sodalite to strengthen the immune system, ease insomnia and balance metabolism.
