Metaphysical Healing Properties
This solar stone helps one to stay grounded but take decisive action. It assists with vitality and gives one courage to face difficult situations. Tiger’s Eye vibration acts as an instrument for sharpening the intellect and balancing logic. Tiger Eye also helps one to find the space of neutrality within the appearance of polarity; reminding one to stay focused on Truth, the Ultimate Reality as opposed to being pulled into pendulous sway of opinion, bias and illusion. Tiger Eye is beneficial to use when in negotiations as it helps people to find common ground and hence brings about smooth transitions and dealings which are of the highest integrity and serve the good of all involved. Tiger Eye is useful in times where we feel we are stuck; it realigns us with our immediate purpose and empowers us to actively bring about change starting from within and allowing the waves of change to ripple out into our life circumstances.
