If you have the accompanying crystal,
Please follow the prompts.
Today,
We're meditating with Tiger's Eye.
You do not need to have the crystal to gain the beneficial properties,
But it is meant to enhance the experience of your meditation.
If you so choose,
You may hold the Tiger's Eye in your non-dominant hand if you are seated.
If you're lying down,
It's recommended to place the Tiger's Eye either two inches below your navel or above.
You may even place it on your third eye for a more stimulating meditation.
Close your eyes.
Find a comfortable seat where your back is supported.
If you prefer to lie down to support your spine,
Please do so now.
Begin by deepening your breath.
As you breathe in,
Visualize the air filling you all the way to the root of your spine gently and slowly releasing when you've reached the tip,
Slower than you're used to.
No need to strain to deepen.
Just continue to notice and elongate with each breath,
Going deeper in and elongating out gently.
Continue this in and out.
Each time,
Feeling your body being supported by the ground or the structure behind you,
In and out.
With your next inhale,
Bring to your mind's eye a tree.
Perhaps your favorite tree is a child or the one that you find yourself sitting at your nearby park or the one that is fantastical and large,
Ethereal from the books you might have read when you were little.
See yourself walking up to it,
Touching it,
Feeling the knots and riches,
Sharp but earthy and grounding.
It's earthy energy touching you back,
Saying,
Hello old friend.
You decide to sit down.
As you sit down,
You feel its weight and earth support your back from where your bottom is supported by the roots,
All the way to the tip of your spine where your head floats.
There is even a space perfectly shaped for your head to rest comfortably on the tree.
As if it's made for you,
As if you sat here every single day and it's gotten to know your body.
As you settle,
You reach into your pocket and there is a warm,
Gold-banded brownish stone,
Smooth to the touch.
Holding it in your hand,
The tree pulses through your spine and around your body.
You start to feel as if you're melding into the tree itself.
As you begin to feel the sensations of the stone in your hand or on your body,
Sunlight peaks over the horizon as it begins to set.
You are bathed in a warm glow from this ray.
You close your eyes,
Feeling it pour over your face,
Focusing especially on the point between your eyebrows,
On your forehead.
The sunlight feels as if it melts down your neck to your shoulders,
Dripping down your arms.
Sunlight continues down,
Beaming past your chest,
And strongly settles as it reaches your belly button and lower belly into your hips.
With this glow sensation brightly being grown in your belly,
A strong feeling of capability rises up.
An understanding and deep knowledge of who you are.
With this sensation,
You feel the clutter,
Worries,
Doubts,
All being swept away with this slight breeze happening.
You hear the tree's leaves rustling as if it's sweeping it away.
You are left with a strong clarity of what is yours.
The scattered information,
Ideas,
Details,
What-ifs,
Doubts are becoming irrelevant and are slowly being picked up patiently,
Being swept into a neat little pile,
And being tied up.
And what is left is an easy-to-carry package with your name on it.
The package itself is inspiring and feels exciting to carry because it's exactly what you need,
And you can choose to pick it up and set it down whenever you decide.
It's clear,
Focused,
And fierce.
Like a tiger,
And like you.
You breathe in the sunlight a few more moments before the ray of brightness focuses elsewhere,
As it begins to set even further.
When the sunlight is no longer directly on you,
You still feel the sensations in your body rooting even deeper into the tree,
But you feel lighter.
You look back down and see the stone.
It feels warm and grounded.
You think it and place it back in your pocket,
Knowing that sunlight and this fierceness is carried with you throughout whatever you choose to do with your day.
You also thank the tree for the earthy support as you stand up to leave.
As you are ready,
You may start to feel your fingers move and toes wiggle.
Feel the energy reach all the nooks and crannies of your body as you circulate these energies.
Circle your head and eventually slowly open your eyes.
Welcome back.
If you choose to carry Tiger's Eye with you as a touchstone for this meditation and throughout your day,
Know that this crystal's energy combines earth energy with the energy of the sun to create a high vibrational state that is incredibly grounded.
It assists in accomplishing goals,
Recognizing your inner resources and promoting clarity of intention.
It grounds and facilitates manifestation of the will.
The Tiger's Eye anchors change into the physical body,
Differentiates between wishful thinking and what you want and what you need.
It aids in collecting scattered information to make a coherent whole.
It is helpful for resolving dilemmas and internal conflicts.
It heals and strengthens any issues of self-worth,
Self-criticism and blocked creativity.
It aids in recognizing one's talents and abilities.
Enjoy your day.
