Energy Vampires: How to Spot Them and Protect Yourself

Ever felt emotionally drained after spending time with certain people? You might be dealing with energy vampires. Here’s how to protect yourself.

Energy stealers are everywhere!

Have you ever felt emotionally drained after spending time with certain people? Energy stealers are everywhere – they could be your family members, your friends, or even your co-workers. You may even recognize some of these traits in yourself. They’re commonly known as Energy Vampires, and just like their mythical counterparts, they feed on our vital energy, leaving us depleted emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

What does the term Energy Vampire mean anyway?

An Energy Vampire is a person who steals other people’s energies because they live their life in a victim consciousness, believing that everything happens to them. Once people start taking responsibility for creating their own lives and reclaiming their personal power, this phenomenon will not be as prevalent. Additionally, while other conditions can also cause these symptoms besides being energetically attacked, it remains detrimental to your health in all aspects of your energetic being – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

In order for an Energy Vampire to attach themselves to your energy body, they form cords attaching the two of you together. These cords are not visible to the naked eye, but they can be seen with the psychic third eye. When they need a boost, they unconsciously steal your energy instead of using their own! These cords are also like highways and run both ways! That means that you will also receive their energy whether it is positive or negative.

• If they have a headache, you may also develop a headache.
• They are depressed, you may become depressed.
• If they are angry, you may become angry and so on.

Health Issues

As a result you can see, this can be very detrimental to your health. At an unconscious level, you have allowed the vampire or vampires to attach themselves to your energy body through these cords. These cords prevent you from really being the real you! It is imperative that these cords be severed and sometimes a spiritual purification is required for your well-being and also for the growth of the other person.

How do we recognize an Energy Vampire?

Some traits of the dis-empowered energy stealer are:

• Feels lonely or abandoned
• Feels they have been rejected
• Needs constant reassurance
• Never feels satisfied
• Doesn’t like to be alone
• Seeks nurturing or feels they need to be taken care of
• Low energy and fatigued
• They have a poor me attitude
• Is a drama king or queen
• Constant talker that never allows you to speak
• Needs you to be their therapist or rescuer fixing their problems
• The blamer making you feel guilty about things
• Vindictive by putting you down
• A person that is unhappy a lot
• Tries controlling you or your life
• Manipulates you to get things their way

How do I know if I am being psychically attacked?

You may experience:

• Dizziness
• Loss of energy
• Muscle tension
• Mental confusion
• Headaches
• Chronic fatigue
• Sleep disturbances
• Irritability
• Depressed mood
• Physical illness
• Small diminishing aura
• Leaks, holes and/or tears in your aura

I know, you are now thinking that almost everyone is alive! Unfortunately, too many people are simply not aware of their energetic bodies and how they operate. Once people start taking responsibility for creating their own lives and reclaiming their personal power, this phenomenon will not be as prevalent. Granted, other conditions can also be the cause of these symptoms besides being energetically attacked. Nevertheless, it is detrimental to your health in all areas of your energetic being – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

How do I protect myself from this?

First you need to become aware of which individuals deplete your energy and limit your contact with them. But simply not being in their physical presence does not stop them from draining you! You need to release all the negative emotions that you carry within yourself. If you hold anger, hurt, jealousy, etc. inside your being, it is like you are shackled to a ball and chain, holding you hostage with your own creation!

Releasing all negative emotions brings freedom as fear is the robber of peace. Why must I do this? Because any disharmony in our four energetic bodies will cause us to be vulnerable, so that darkness and confusion can enter. Being aware of this is empowering.

Now that you are aware, don’t let fear win. Simply take the steps to protect yourself. Darkness consists of anything that is of a lower/heavier vibration such as anger, fear, depression, jealousy, hatred etc. Angry thoughts directed at you can penetrate your weak and vulnerable areas like arrows.  They take away your clarity and fill you with confusion and drain your energy.

Tools To Assist You

Cord Cutting

Perform this simple cord cutting exercise. You should cut cords on a daily basis, especially during stressful periods in our lives. Make sure to cut cords from our loved ones as well. Remember, no cord attached to anyone or anything is beneficial!

• Take some deep cleansing breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth. Summon Spirit and your Spirit Guides, requesting their aid in cutting all cords attached to your being.
• Visualize Spirit and your Guide’s positive energy swirling around your entire being severing all the cords. Know that no cord can remain intact, and they are returning to where they came from. As you feel the process is complete, thank Spirit and your Guides for their assistance.

Physical Purifications Techniques:

• Burn all relevant photographs or objects holding memories of the person, place, or situation.
• Write down all feelings of frustration, anger, hurt, fear, etc., and burn the paper or bury it.
  • Please don’t give it to the person! Repeat this step as often as necessary.
• Clear all the clutter from every room of your home. Rule of thumb. If you haven’t used it in 6 months, it’s not likely you will! Get rid of it.
• Clean and if necessary, redecorate your home. Bringing nature indoors is wonderful energy!
• Check there are no books in your bookshelves or pictures on your walls that have negative energy. Surround yourself with high vibrational objects, spiritual books, spiritual pictures, plants, fresh flowers etc.
• Smudge with sage, cedar and sweetgrass and invoke the help of Spirit, your Guides, Angels, and your Higher Self.
• Cleanse and purify your crystals and dedicate them to the Light.
• Light candles and use high vibrational pure essential oils.
