Energy vampires thrive and survive on other peoples energy. They can not sustain their own energy level so they must feed off others energy to keep them functioning. Some know they are doing this and use it to their advantage by using others time, energy, emotion, by unloading their problems on you on a regular basis, while doing nothing to really help them self or by picking arguments, creating tension in order to feed off the energy the interaction creates.
Others don't really know they are doing this, they believe they are helpless and a victim of the universe. They ask for help and when you give it, nothing is ever is really accomplished because after your efforts are given they do not sustain momentum, unless someone else is doing it for them. A good motto here is....Be willing to help those, who are willing to help themselves ! They may not do it intentionally but none the less they do it.
These are energy vampires. There are many more examples of the types but in the end, they ALL thrive on your energy and anyone else who will give it to them. They are the chronic complainers, the pessimistic the manipulators, the narcissus's, the gas lighters, the ones who like to argue or twist your words, the ones who talk negative about you, the ones who want you to do their work, they are the ones who bring you down intentionally or unintentionally. Energy vampires are every where. You meet them almost every day. They can be your neighbors your parents, customers, co workers, friends, in laws, strangers, even your own children !
Now just because they take your energy does not necessarily mean they are bad people and you should cut them out of your life. There are ways to help deal with these people once you can identify them. You can use simple visualization techniques to place a protective energy shield between you and the other person or persons. Visualizing white light surrounding you or an impenetrable shield of protection, stopping all lower vibrations from connecting with you.
You can carry crystals or gemstones in your pocket that help with clearing up negative energy directed toward you. There are protection stones, transmuting stones, there is a stone for everything. When it is appropriate you could even give them your stone to help them with their struggles.
You must be clear about your boundaries with these people. If you do not have appropriate boundaries on how you will allow other people to treat you.... now is the time to get them. Speak them and mean it. Do not let others take advantage of you or engage in arguments that only serve to feed them your energy, time and attention.
Limit your time with these individuals and do not, do for them them, what they can do for themselves. Helping is always good but be sure your helping and not enabling them to use you or think they are not capable themselves.
Do not engage in power struggles and walk away when you find yourself being pulled into an argument or a lower energy conversation that will really do no good or accomplish anything.
Everyone in our lives need help from time to time, a shoulder to cry on, and ear to vent to, and harsh words are even spoken from time to time, but when this is a regular thing, something is out of balance and if it's not corrected... that is when you are left with symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, frustration, resentment, even with a short term head aches, aches, tension, or upset stomach and just an overall feeling of being drained, when prior to your time spent with them you were fine.
Using protection is as simple as asking Spirit to place a bubble or wall of protection around you that will stop you from absorbing anyone's negative energy, and to stop others from taking your energy...... period !!
These people are everywhere and most of us have to admit we have been an energy vampire at some point ourselves, but now that you know how to identify one, you can take measures to avoid the loss of your energy , through someone else taking it without your permission and you can be mindful not take someone else's !
