Sodalite – Mental Clarity Stone

Sodallite is made up of sodium aluminum silicate chloride: it gets its name from its sodium content. It is a rich, royal blue color interspersed with white veins; good quality pieces when polished look similar to lapis lazuli. However, it does not contain the pyrite inclusions found in Lapis. 

Another way to tell the two apart is that Sodalite is more brittle; clear lines in its structure show potential breaking points. It rarely forms crystals and it is usually found in massive granular formations or fillings in veins in igneous rocks. 

One source of rare but particularly fine crystalline Sodalite is the region around the volcano Vesuvius in southern Italy; massive deposits are also found in Ontario, Canada. 


Mental
Sodalite is used to expand the mind and encourage clear thinking; it is also a good stone to work with if you are establishing a regular meditation practice. It helps to connect your physical self to your spiritual self so you can move easily between different levels of consciousness. It also enhances your intuition, that sixth sense that encourages creativity and spontaneity.

Physical/Emotional

Calms the mind and helps with relaxation. Assists the 3rd eye chakra to focus in meditation.

Assists with supportorting the immune system, clearing problems in the throat, sinuses and soothes the voice, especially if the vocal cords are strained. Helps clear feelings of internal conflict or lack of certainty, encouraging self confidence in personal expression.

Healing Effects

Place over the throat or 3rd eye, whichever feels appropriate, to clear negative feelings and increase relaxation in the system. Place over the heart chakra with a piece of rose quartz to create a fusion of intuition and unconditional love

Personal Uses

Meditate with it to improve your ability to let go of everyday concerns and focus on just being.

  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith Archangels and angels are created to serve the Creator and Mankind. In other words the angels are our helpers, they help us, by different kinds of guidance. When you receive guidance, remember to say thank you.  You do not have to elaborate, leave offerings or anything like that as the Angels were created to assist our Creator and us Humans, Be polite, say thank you.  Archeia are the divine feminine Archangels. Most of the archeia are compliments for Archangels.  Remember not to humanize Angels. They are Angels, we are humans, totally different living beings.  The angels do not punish, or force a way of being. Angels assist us with raising our resonance. Angels are not religious, they are love.  You don’t need to worship the angels to accept guidance for you.  All you have to do is say thank you.  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith are the Archangels in charge of the Guardian angels.

Gratitude - Gratitude, thankfulness or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, to the giver of said gifts.  The difference between Gratitude & Thankful  The Oxford Dictionary defines the word thankful as “pleased and relieved.” Both of those are great feelings. ... The Oxford Dictionary defines the word grateful as “showing an appreciation of kindness.” This is where the difference lies; being thankful is a feeling, and being grateful is an action.  When I lived in Colorado, my friend Vicki taught me about being present with my gratitudes. She helped me rewire my brain to help me be open to receive what life had to offer. We started writing our gratitudes/Intentions - keeping journals. As word smiths we were able to write some pretty lines, lines that resonated with us to help us with ...

A couple of weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with one of my colleagues. We were discussing the different rates that some of some of the different energy workers.  There seems to be some who have opinions that rates may be exorbitant with some of the healers, energy workers or mediums. I gave myself a few days to think about the conversation and get clear on what I thought about the differences in rates. My opinion is those with integrity and get results should charge what they feel is appropriate.  The Equal Exchange of Energy - Remember? There may be some rates are so high that the middle class or lessor cannot afford them. What if this energy work is just for those of the upper class? Maybe this expensive energy work is for those people who assist with 'making our world a better place?' I am thankful for this.  Perhaps this energy work will help those who make great decisions for the masses, instead of just for the self. Does that make sen...
