I simply adore elephants, they are peaceful yet fiercely protective of their tribe and the very definition of massive power restrained. Because of its massive size and towering height, the elephant spirit animal naturally signifies strength and power. But even with its intimidating presence, the elephant totem can also be one of the friendliest and gentlest creatures in the world, provided you are friendly and gentle with them.

Elephant Symbolism:-

There is no creature on earth quite like the elephant. It’s at once a behemoth possessed of great strength and a gentle giant who carries the wisdom and intelligence of the ages. Because they are so unique, elephants have grown to have deep significance in many cultures, holding deep significance in religions around the world, and sacred power as a symbol, even in dreams.

On a personal level, the elephant represents facing obstacles and clearing them from your path. When an elephant appears in your dreams, it can be a sign that there’s an obstacle in your life that needs to be addressed that can’t be ignored any longer. The animal’s wisdom will help guide you to the right decision and clear the way for you to find good things and cultivate happiness.

Native to Africa and Asia, the animals have special significance there. The Hindu god Ganesha is believed to be a remover of obstacles. He’s the god of beginnings, whom people worship before starting any major endeavor in their lives. In China, the elephant is a symbol of strength and wisdom. Buddha is often portrayed as an elephant, and his mother is believed to have had dreams of an elephant before his birth. The Ashanti people revere elephants as their reincarnated leaders.

Syenite with Sodalite:-

This material is always marketed as ‘Yooperlite’. Now this may surprise you but a Yooperlite’ is actually a trademarked brand of what is officially known as a “syenite rock rich with fluorescent Sodalite”. But if you’re unsure of what exactly it is we’re talking about here, a ‘Yooperlite’, in short, is a special kind of fluorescent rock that will display a strong orange glow when subjected to UV light.

This fascinating discovery is owed to Michigan man Erik Rintamaki, who also holds the aforementioned trademark name. The material was first discovered by Erik along the banks of Lake Superior but has since been found in other locations, mainly in Greenland and China.

Sodalite is not classified as rock, but as a deep blue mineral that is cut and carved as statues, pyramids, and obelisks. Sodalite if often confused with Lapis Lazuli because of the similar colour tones and sometimes sold as the much more expensive Lapis Lazuli by unscrupulous or uninformed merchants.

The name Sodalite reflects this mineral's Sodium content and was named by a Glasgow chemist, Professor Thomas Thomson, who had been hired by the British to identify the stone after they had captured a shipment of it being sent from Greenland to Denmark during the Napoleonic Wars.  Although first discovered and recorded in 1806 in Greenland, it took until 1891 for this attractive deep blue stone to become important in the world of ornamental stones.  It was then that it was found in vast deposits in Ontario, Canada, by Frank D. Adams, during the Geological Survey of Canada.  Later, as it was chosen as an interior decoration for the Marlborough House in England by Princess Patricia who had been visiting Ontario at the time and who had fallen in love with the stone, many began to refer to it as "Princess Blue".  Sodalite has also been called "Canadian Blue Stone" or simply "Bluestone". 

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 judgment, 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.
