Energy Vampires - Don’t let them Suck You Dry…Yep! They exist.  They are all around us.  Energy Vampires - you find them at the grocery store, the post office, at work and unfortunately sometimes even at home.  They are people that wear their negativity in their sleeves.  They can suck us dry of energy leaving us drained, angry and depressed.

Most Energy Vampires don’t know that they are causing any harm.  They are usually very unhappy people that live their lives dwelling on self pity, complaining, blaming others, and with a very negative outlook.   Ok. So you can now identify them, but how do you keep them from sucking the life energy out of you?

First thing you have to do is to recognize what is happening.  If you are someone that is working on your spiritual awareness, then your intuition is expanding and you are becoming more sensitive to other people’s energy.   Your spiritual sensitivity makes you more vulnerable to psychic energy suckers.  You must learn to protect yourself.  Below are 3 steps that are crucial to keep them at bay.

1. Define and Guard Your Space – We all live within our own energy field.  It is called the Aura.  This energy field stays with us our entire life and even after we move on.   Your energy field shifts with your moods, your thoughts and your interactions with people, animals, plants, crystals and minerals. Keep your Aura balanced by doing daily exercises that include meditation, relaxation and visualization.  These exercises help keep you grounded and in control of your own energy.  Being in control of your Energetic Space help you block those that try to suck it away.
2. Practice Detachment – Detachment doesn’t mean that you don’t care about others it simply means that you don’t have expectations about them.   Expectation can best be defined as a set up for disappointment.  Whenever we have expectations from others we leave ourselves wide open for hurt, anger and frustration.  We then become very vulnerable and so we are easy targets for Energy Vampires.  Give up attachment to your expectations and you will save yourself a lot of anguish and hurt.
3. Don’t Throw Your Energy at Others –Just like a plant needs water to survive, people need to constantly share their energy others.  The type of energy we should be sharing is love, compassion, kindness and understanding; however, that is not always the case even for some of us in the spiritual path.  When we get angry or we allow someone to hurt us, we lose control of our emotions and we start throwing out negative thoughts, words and actions.  Losing control of our emotions makes us vulnerable and easy targets to Psychic Energy Sucking.

I recommend you keep a sacred spot in your home where you have constant reminders of your spiritual awareness and your intentions.  It helps very much to light candles, incense, use oils to anoint special amulets and practice frequent spiritual bathing of yourself and your surroundings.  Follow these simple rules and Energy Vampires will have to go searching elsewhere for their Psychic Sucking.

Be Well, Be Safe, and
