Energy on the Go: A Guide to Crystals and Practices for the School Year

August 26, 2025

As a new school year begins, it's the perfect time to set intentions, create routines, and surround yourself with tools that support your well-being. Your backpack carries more than just books, pens, and laptops. It holds your energy throughout the day. Infusing it with intention will support your energy and empower you. Here are our tips for turning it into a sacred traveling space for support and strength!

Focus & Concentration:

• Our favorite crystals to enhance mental clarity, to sharpen our awareness, and stimulate creativity are Fluorite and Carnelian. Store these in your laptop case. 
• Rosemary essential oil or our Focus blend can boost concentration and help with memory retention. Add a few drops to a Lava bead or crystal on exam days.
• Write your intentions at the top of your planner each week to stay focused on your goals. 

Calm & Stress Relief:

• A Lepidolite keychain can be attached to your backpack to soothe your emotions and balance your body, mind, and spirit. Store a worry stone, such as Howlite, in your pocket and gently hold or rub during times of stress and anxiety. Amethyst tumbled stones are also a favorite to keep nearby for their calming energy.
• Add affirmation cards to your backpack. For example, "Even if things feel big, I feel peace inside me." 

Speak Your Truth:

• Add a crystal such as Sodalite or Lapis Lazuli  to help open and align your Throat Chakra to better perform for presentations, conversations with educators, or simply speaking up to classmates. These crystals support clear, confident expression. Carry these in your pencil case or planner pouch.
• Elite Noble Shungite can be utilized directly in water to protect against EMF and support your immune system. (See our instructions for use in water.) Fill up your water bottle daily!

Ground & Protect: 

• When over stimulated by crowded hallways and school buses, noisy classrooms, or emotional days, reach for a grounding crystal such as Hematite or Black Tourmaline. They will align and center your energy and deflect any low lying energies. Carry a tumble or a small palm stone in the bottom of your backpack to help root the energy to the Earth.  
• Essential oils such as Eucalyptus and Pink Grapefruit provide a boost to your immune system. Use them diluted in carrier oil in a roller bottle or our Shield Essence Cleansing spray and oil blend to stay healthy.
• Orgone is an energy transformation tool that can absorb negative energy and transmute to positive. Attach a keychain to your backpack and set an intention for protection. 
• The Evil Eye symbol has been used for centuries for deflection and strength. Store your crystals, pencils, or other important personal items in an Evil Eye pouch. 

Our Back to School crystal kit is the perfect tool to carry in your backpack as well! We curated this kit to attract prosperity, soothe emotions, and bring in optimism. Remember to regularly charge and cleanse your crystals. Storing them in a Selenite bowl overnight will quickly remove stagnant energy and restore a smooth flow of positive energy. We wish you the best school year filled with peace, focus, and strength!
