If you have been receiving the tiger as a symbol during meditation or dreaming, this is a very powerful message about tapping into your inner strength and instincts to overcome life challenges. This spirit animal reminds you to act quickly and passionately and to trust your intuition. The tiger has long been regarded as a symbol of courage, fearlessness, and protection in many cultures and you can use this animal as a reminder to act in spite of fear, take more chances, and to trust your first reaction.
The Chinese believe that it is the tiger, not the lion, who is the king of all beasts. He is seen as the “protector of the dead” and will often be placed near graves as a marker of protection for those who have passed. The tiger often comes to me as a symbol when people have crossed over. When I meditate, I will see a tiger walking a recently deceased friend to the other side, and often there is a feeling of peace and serenity.
The fierce tiger has long been a symbol for me for remembering that if I tap into my inner power and trust, I can overcome anything. In nature, tigers know exactly what they want and they are very direct about getting it; they don’t hesitate, but rather, they move swiftly and with purpose. Usually I find that when I keep the energy of the tiger nearby, I am able to better tune in to my inner purpose and offer assistance to those around me quickly. Overall, the tiger reminds us to be led by the inner spark and when you are moved by this, you will achieve peace.

When Tiger Meets You in Meditation, Ask Yourself?
What life challenge is in your path?
What are your natural passions and strengths?
What does your spirit call out to do?
How can you take steps to achieve this quickly with conviction and vigor?
Can you be more open to listening for when you are being “called to act?”
How can you tap in to your inner power to achieve and then share with others?
In what ways can you be more self-assured and a little more daring?
