108-Bead Tiger’s Eye Mala Necklace

Mala Necklace with 108 Tiger's Eye Beads

Tiger's Eye is a variety of quartz containing crocidolite inclusions. These fibers give the stone a distinctive effect known as 'chatoyancy'.

Tiger's Eye has a strong connection with the sun and the solar plexus.

This stone warms, provides comfort, and "burns" away negative influences. It has a revitalizing effect and makes you feel more energetic.

It supports digestive fire, gastrointestinal function, the eyes, the liver, and the autonomic nervous system.

The mala is primarily used for counting repeated mantras, serving the same purpose as a rosary.

Beads made from semi-precious stones, pearls, plant seeds, or Bodhi wood can serve various purposes, such as counting any type of mantra or other prayers, prostrations, circumambulations, and so on. The cord is the same for every mala and should be made of nine strands, symbolizing Vajradhara Buddha and the eight Bodhisattvas.

The largest bead at the end signifies wisdom and the realization of absolute emptiness, while the cylindrical bead above the largest bead symbolizes emptiness itself. Together, they symbolize triumph over all adversaries.

The Mala with 108 beads is used while reciting or chanting mantras. 108 is the ideal number for any purpose.

It is important that our thoughts are pure while we recite or chant the mantra. The mantra is the practical use of secret forces that can help us progress. A mantra is understood as a predetermined sequence of syllables. The effect is achieved by repeating the mantra over and over again; this becomes deeper as you continue to recite it. The sound produced while reciting is essential.

This sound creates a unique spiritual imprint on the person who is reciting. It is said that a mantra is like a human being; there are various stages to go through before reaching the final effect, which is the "Purification of mental impressions". There are various mantras with an intrinsic potential; this can only be personally transferred from the Master to the initiate. These are the so-called "Siddha Mantras". Some malas have two clips with images of the Vajra and Bell to keep count of the mantra rosaries recited.

In Buddhism, the symbolic meaning of these images is "method and wisdom, the masculine and feminine principles". The animal bone represents the transitory state of all beings.

Benefits for the mind

By constantly wearing tiger's eye, states of panic and anxiety are alleviated. It is therefore perfect for those people who quickly fall victim to nervousness, no longer being able to see things with the right clarity.

Some benefits of tiger's eye on the mind are:

It provides mental clarity, thus helping to decide with greater resolve which path to take.

The person wearing it will feel much more confident in themselves, full of strength.

Tiger's eye is also known as the "stone of willpower". For this reason, it aligns perfectly with the energy of the third chakra. The person wearing it realizes that they must take responsibility for their own actions.

It stimulates a sense of stability and practicality. It helps you become more responsive when the occasion calls for it.

Benefits for the body

It is believed that tiger's eye can alleviate pain. By balancing the flow of energy, it gives the body a sense of relaxation that helps soothe the nerves. It is particularly useful especially in cases of headaches, and brings benefits to the liver, stomach, intestines, and spleen. It is also used to alleviate the symptoms of problems affecting the respiratory system, such as asthma, bronchitis, and colds.

Benefits for the spirit

So much is heard about Kundalini, the coiled serpent at the base of the spine, the dormant divine energy on Muladhara (the first chakra). According to some, tiger's eye favors the awakening of this energy. I would rather say that it can support a process of introspection and personal growth lasting many years. A mineral is certainly not enough to awaken the divine energy, which, as it rises along sushumna -the main energy channel of the body, corresponding physically to the spine – leads to enlightenment.

Tiger's eye stimulates the deepest desires. And all in all, it is one of the best stones for meditation. Its golden reflections vibrate with the higher chakras and help to connect with the divine, experiencing a sense of unconditional love. Then desires will no longer appear unattainable, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. It is a stone that brings abundance in every sphere of life.
