The tiger eye have grounding, centering, and stabilizing properties that can benefit the body, mind and spirit. Like other crystals and stones, tiger eye needs to be cleansed and charged or "activated" before initial use so that it is ready to promote healthy energy flow. Here are some tips for activating your tiger eye and using it for meditation, crystal grids, carrying in your pocket or purse, or display in your home.
Activating Your Tiger Eye
- Cleanse the stone under running water for 1-2 minutes. This washes away any accumulated energies or debris on the surface.
- Allow the stone to dry fully in sunlight or on a clean cloth. Sunlight naturally charges crystals with positive energy.
- Hold the dry tiger eye in both hands and visualize white light filling and surrounding the stone to activate it. You can also repeat a charging affirmation such as "I activate and empower this tiger eye stone for its highest healing purposes."
- Smudge the stone by passing it through the smoke of a burning sage bundle or palo santo stick. This further cleanses the stone of negative energies.
- Place the tiger eye overnight with a clear quartz crystal cluster or point to amplify its metaphysical properties. Clear quartz cleanses and charges all other crystals.

Now that your tiger eye is activated, you can begin working with it during meditation. Its grounding qualities make it an ideal stone to help calm the mind and emotions when held or placed on the body during meditation.
- Hold the tiger eye in your hands with eyes closed while taking some deep centering breaths. Feel its soothing, stabilizing energy.
- Place the stone at the solar plexus or sacral chakra when doing chakra work. Its golden hue resonates with the solar plexus.
- Lie down and place a tiger eye on the sacrum or root chakra to feel more grounded in your body during meditation.
