TIGER’S EYE
Key words:
Courage, Self-Confidence, Purpose and Strength of Will.
With all the energy shifts coming our way between now and the total solar eclipse on 21st August, we will be clearing almost unprecedented amounts of emotional rubbish. To help you with this use yellow tiger’s eye. Its qualities are:
Protection / Clear thinking / Personal Empowerment / Integrity / Willpower / Practicality / Grounding / Power / Courage / Grace
You will benefit from embodying every single quality on that list at the moment and this type of stone also stimulates all three of the physical body chakras –base, sacral and solar plexus – so it is extremely helpful for supporting your physical body during all the energetic changes and afterwards when your energy system has to stabilise at a much higher level. You need to be really kind to your body while everything is going on… tiger’s eyes can help you do this in many ways, but one of the most useful is the way it helps you relive tension – on all levels.
One exercise you can do which is extremely effective is to use the stone on each of the physical body chakras. If you have three pieces, place one on the base, sacral and solar plexus at the same time. If you only have one, place it on the base, wait until the energy has shifted and move it up until you reach the solar plexus. It is astonishing what happens when you do this and you will feel much, much better. This is because of what the stone actually does.
Tiger’s eye is a subtly powerful stone which brings you the lovely qualities of harmony and balance. It will be extremely useful with so many energy shifts. You will need these qualities to keep you sane during all the changes. They will be coming thick and fast and happening on all levels. It also helps you release fear and anxiety which are feelings you could well be experiencing while you are going through the release process.
Another bonus of working with this stone is that it encourages you to take action (which we will all need to do in one way or another), but it also helps you make decisions with discernment and understanding, without being too attached to the emotions you are experiencing. There will be a lot of them, some of them very, very old. They will be coming up for clearing and you will need to see them clearly to release them properly.
Tiger’s eye helps you to focus your mind on what needs to be done. It promotes mental clarity, and it will help you resolve any problems you encounter at this energetically volatile time objectively, without you having to engage all your usual emotional responses. That is to say it enables you to make decisions from a place of reason rather than emotion. But if you do get dragged down into old ways of thinking and behaving, it can help stabilise any mood swings, making them easier to deal with and clear through your system with ease and grace. It allows you to remain calm and grounded during any transitional period and it will integrate both hemispheres of the brain. This is enormously helpful if you have scattered thoughts and scattered energy. Just use the stone with really focussed intent to get the best result.
The reason tiger’s eye is one of the best stones to use at this time is that the golden colour means it works particularly well at the solar plexus and one of the things the influx of light coming through the Lion’s Gate portal (8/8/17) is going to do is upgrade this chakra. So it would be good if you can get a piece of this mineral and start using it now, so as many blockages are cleared from the chakra before you actually get the light code download stage. It will just make the whole process just a little easier. It releases fear from this chakra at an astonishing rate, when used with a very clear intention.
One way of working with tiger’s eyes is to build a crystal grid – with the intention of re-connecting to your personal power and stimulating your will power. You can, of course, also add other things like a request to remain calm and grounded while you release any blockages which prevent you connecting to your power and your will. Make the request as real as possible and one that you believe is possible. Unrealistic requests are a form of self-sabotage. You will be setting yourself up to fail and you really don’t want to do that, do you?
So, here’s how to do it – and if you don’t have citrine, clear quartz can be substituted because it’s a versatile stone and, as another form of quartz, it will take on any programme you place inside it.
If possible, build the grid on a bedside table so it works close to you all night. If not, as close to you as possible. You can use tumbles stones or points. It does not matter. It is, after all, your clear intention which will get clear results. You do this for 10 days.
- Place your tiger’s eye down wherever you have decided to build your layout.
- Place four citrine stones around it – in the cardinal positions i.e. north, south, east and west. In this formation these five crystals represent change.
- Look at your grid and sit with it for a short while, quietly setting your intention and asking the crystals to help you achieve your goal.
- Go to sleep and in the morning re-connect with the crystals and what you want to achieve.
- At this point you can either leave the grid in your bedroom, or take the four quartz crystals with you while you go about your day, so you are carrying the energy of the layout with you. Do whatever feels appropriate for you.
- Before going to bed, re-set the grid beside your bed if you have taken the quartz out during the day.
- Repeat this for 10 days
During your 10 day period, be open to any changes you are drawn to make – on any level: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. You really will find that you want to go about something in a different way. Don’t think about it – just do it and see what happens. Let the stones deepen your connection to your intuition and guide you to inspired action….
But in a balanced and harmonious way because that is just what tiger’s eye does!
You can repeat the exercise at any time with any intention… just go for it. What’s the worst thing that can happen? You will change, but for the better. And isn’t that what we’re all here for at this time!!
Have fun with tiger’s eye.
Bright Blessings
