The Golden Solar Ray of Tiger’s Eye will remind the user of the higher intentions behind life’s many mysteries and synchronicities.
The main life lesson of the lower 3 Chakras is to facilitate a healthy base for higher Chakra connection.

The animal soul within mankind governs hunger, sexuality, physical security, territorialism, confrontation, and utilization of resources. Tiger’s Eye can help people overcome addiction and self sabotaging behaviors caused by imbalance within the animal soul of the user.
