Psychic Vampire Takes All Your Energy Away

27

As the name suggests, a vampire is a parasite that takes power, energy or life-force from its victims in order to survive. However, psychic vampires don’t creep in your windows and drink your blood. Instead, they drain you of your energy, sucking it up like a vacuum. And, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve heard the term “psychic vampire”, they can still be attacking you and siphoning off your energy.

It’s important to know that these psychic vampires can’t feed off of you if you aren’t somehow inviting them to. If you are projecting a lot of fear and anxiety, it’s like lighting a beacon that will draw them right to you. If you exude a sense of powerlessness into the world, that’s all the permission that a psychic vampire needs. You don’t actually have to consent consciously, but feeling like you’re too weak to say no to anyone or anything is enough. And they can detect this without you ever saying it out loud.

There is a line between selfishness and selflessness, and most individuals fall somewhere in between the two on the spectrum. But, the closer you are to the selfless end of that spectrum, the more willing you are to give people anything they want. Because you’re more likely to be viewed as a doormat, something to be walked all over, your psychic energy reflects this quality. And you’re likely consenting to giving someone parts of yourself without even realizing it. Your inability to say the word “no” is taken advantage of by someone who falls on the selfish end of the spectrum, assuming that just because you don’t say otherwise, they can do with you what they will.

By means of your willingness to give and to please, and the vampire’s willingness to take, the two of you become connected in a metaphysical sort of way. But, just because you can’t see the connection with the naked eye doesn’t mean that it’s not a strong connection. In fact, it has to be fairly strong in order for the vampire to siphon off significant amounts of your energy. The Hunas have described these connections as “cords” for centuries. In recent years, a therapist from California named Phyllis Krystal wrote a book called Cutting the Cords, which describes the cord/connection belief or the Hunans, and then goes on to explain various ways of “cutting” cords that are harmful to us.

You may be reading this and have the mistaken assumption that all psychic vampires are bad people, or that they are intentionally depriving you of your energy. This isn’t always the case, however. You can develop a deep friendship with someone, only to discover that they’re inadvertently draining you of your energy. In this case, it isn’t necessarily intentional, on either of your parts. You would most likely give your friend anything they needed, giving unconscious consent without even knowing that they could drain you of your energy. And they may not even know that they’re taking the energy from you. But, fear not. There ways to stop the attacks, and to keep yourself from draining other people, as well.

How to stop psychic vampires from draining you of your energy

If you suspect that you’ve been unconsciously submitting to psychic vampires draining you of your energy, one of the first things that you need to do is to very consciously declare that you aren’t submitting to this anymore. You also need to make known to yourself and the universe around you that, from now on, you will only give in healthy ways. This can happen in the form of a spoken mantra, where you state these points clearly, out loud and with purpose. You can then actually participate in healthy forms of giving, such as charity work, volunteering, etc.

The next thing that you’ll need to do is a form of visualization through meditation. While sitting quietly and meditating, ask to be shown all of the unhealthy connections to you. It’s helpful to know who your psychic vampire is, but not necessary. You then need to visualize yourself severing these ties in some way, such as pulling them out, cutting them with a scissors, or whichever way feels right to you in that moment. It’s important to note that you may have to repeat this visualization exercise until you feel that it’s done, meaning that you’ll likely have to do it more than once. But, once it’s done, be sure to forgive and bless all who were involved, including yourself. You should feel relief and a resurgence of energy within a few days.

How to stop yourself from draining energy from others

This is slightly trickier than simply dispelling a psychic vampire. If you suspect that you’re inadvertently draining others around you of their energy, it’s important that you first declare that you have no intention of doing this anymore. Say it out loud, clearly, and with intent. You need to firmly believe that you won’t do it again.

Whether you are a giver or a taker, you will likely encounter this interaction with some degree of frequency throughout the course of your life. Therefore, it’s important to know the signs that you are being drained, or that you are draining someone. Some people who are being drained report feeling dizzy and light-headed, and they often experience headaches or feel faint. But, everyone is different and your symptoms my differ, so you’ll need to pay attention and take note. And, you now have the knowledge to solve the problem in a loving, not spiteful way.
