How To Use Crystals for Deep Focus & Concentration
Does your head spin a mile a minute? Are you studying for exams and just can’t seem to find your groove? Do you work in a busy office and find it difficult to concentrate on your tasks with all the other things happening around you? Or do you just find it hard to reach a state of deep focus and concentration?
If any of these sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place! Working with crystals that support focus and mental clarity is a great way to improve your concentration. But how can you use these crystals in your daily life to benefit from their awesome energies?
Let’s take a look at 3 ways to work with crystals to achieve focus, concentration, and productivity.
Surround your space
Keeping crystals in your office or workspace is a great way to tap into their energies throughout your workday. And as a bonus, crystals are beautiful and make for wonderful decor! Consider placing a concentration crystal on a bookshelf, or even right beside you on your desk—crystal towers and freeforms are great additions to any space.

Morning meditations
Set yourself up for success before your workday even begins. Start your morning with a quick meditation or positive affirmation session to set your intentions for the day. Hold onto your concentration crystal of choice and set the intention for deep focus, concentration, and productivity for the day. Not sure where to start? Try the affirmation “My mind is energized, clear, and focused on my goals” or “I can focus and concentrate in all situations”.
Carry it with you
There is something so powerful about carrying a crystal with you throughout the day. You will be constantly surrounded by its energy and it will serve as a reminder to help you refocus when needed. There are several ways you can keep a crystal with you throughout the day. Grab a touchstone and keep it in your purse or pocket—whenever you feel yourself drifting, simply hold the crystal in your hand to reconnect. I also love crystal jewelry for this purpose. Having a crystal so close to your body also amplifies its energy making jewelry a wonderful way to hold onto your focus.
Wondering which crystals you should use to help you concentrate and focus? Here are my top 5 concentration crystals.
1. Fluorite
When you find your mind is consumed by a million thoughts, Fluorite can help you clear your mind so you can rediscover your mental clarity. It is known as a crystal of clarity, mental acuity, and concentration. If you need to focus, grab your Fluorite and keep it close by—it can help you get through whatever task is on your plate. Fluorite even goes a step further by helping you create—and stick to—a plan forward, making it perfect for anyone who struggles to commit to a singular plan of action.
2. Sodalite
The calming energy of Sodalite is excellent for keeping your mind clear. What I love about Sodalite is that the clarity it creates opens your mind up to logical thinking and problem-solving skills that might have otherwise been buried in a busy mind. Once Sodalite has worked to calm and clear your mind, its connection with the Third Eye Chakra helps you achieve a deep focus and concentration, as well as intuitive guidance you may have never tapped into before.
3. Amethyst
Amethyst is an extremely calming crystal that brings peace and serenity to those who work with it. A powerful Crown Chakra crystal, Amethyst helps you to let go of your racing thoughts, slow them down, and connect with yourself in a meditative state. This clear-minded state is the perfect start to getting into deep, focused work.
4. Smoky Quartz
Ready to focus on your tasks with ease? Then you are ready for Smoky Quartz! Smoky Quartz is a grounding crystal that helps you find balance in your emotions and lets you release feelings of confusion and overwhelm. Once you’ve let go of this negativity, clarity of mind is left in its place. Smoky Quartz helps to quiet a busy mind and lets you start to see things from a more rational perspective—which is perfect for anyone trying to work through a never-ending to-do list.
5. Lapis Lazuli
A powerhouse of knowledge and intellect, Lapis Lazuli is perfect for anyone looking to pick up a new skill or work through a tough exam season. Lapis Lazuli gives you the drive and inspiration to seek out knowledge and understanding. It takes your mental capacity to a whole new level and even improves your memory—it really is a student’s best study partner!
No two people are the same and the same can be said for crystals. You may need to spend some time finding a crystal that helps you with focus and concentration. My best advice is to work with a crystal that you are drawn to—never underestimate your intuition!
Keep Shining, Crystal Lover!
