Back to school marks a period of transition for everyone. The lazy days of summer have come and gone, and we begin the time of learning, growth, and hard-work. Luckily, we have just what you need to survive the school year, whether you are the student, the teacher, or the parent! Keep reading to see our top picks!
For Everyone
Cleansing Spray: Our cleansing spray is the perfect tool to keep energy fresh and moving! Since there is no burning required, it is great for classrooms, dorms, apartments, or the home!
Sodalite: Sodalite is my go-to when it comes to the mind. As a stone of focus and clarity, it can assist with studying for those big tests, or simply making it through homework time. For teachers, this is a fantastic stone to keep in the classroom to help support learning and staying on task. And for parents, Sodalite can help to keep busy schedules straight in your head!
Amethyst:Â Amethyst is one stone I think everyone should have. It has a long history of use for meditation, but in the frame of back-to-school, it is a great option to promote peace and calm. Typically this time of year means not only added stress for students, but for parents and teachers as well. Whether you are facing down a project, lesson plans, or a day full of extracurriculars, Amethyst may help ease stress so you can remain calm, cool, and collected.
For Students
Tiger’s Eye: I remember quite well how difficult it can be to stay motivated throughout the school year, especially as we approach holiday breaks or the end of the year. This is where Tiger’s Eye can come to the rescue. This stone is a powerhouse of determination and willpower, helping to push through the things that are a little harder to tackle.Â
Lepidolite: Similar to Amethyst, this is another stone to promote peace and calm. As the projects, homework, and exams pile on, it can easily feel overwhelming and impossible. Lepidolite is here to relieve anxieties and sooth stress so you can focus on the work ahead.
For Teachers
Flower Agate: Not only is Flower Agate a beautiful stone, but it is also one of my top recommendations for the classroom. Not only does it bring energies of inspiration and creativity, but also supports inner peace, growth, and nurturing energy, which are all essential to a successful classroom!
Desert Jasper: Desert Jasper is all about adaptation. When pep rallies, meetings, or field trips throw a wrench in your lesson plans, this stone is here to help you navigate the changes. Beyond that, Desert Jasper may help alleviate stress and promote balance.
For Parents and Guardians
Obsidian: Yes, obsidian is a protection stone, but it is also one of the best grounding stones there is! Between surprise fundraisers, late nights spent on homework, and finding that permission slip in the bottom of the bookbag, stress levels for parents can rise quickly. Obsidian is here to help you channel that excess energy away so you can best support your student.
Red Jasper: Red Jasper can also be used for grounding and protection, but it earned its spot on this list for its connection to strength and leadership. Your student looks up to you, and as much as they learn at school, they also learn at home. Taking positive charge and setting good examples is key for both you and your student!
