Energy Vampires; those who take

http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/how-people-steal-your-power-energy-and-soul<BR>
One of the most untalked about subjects is the subject of how people steal other people's power, soul and energy.
It is more common then you can understand and it goes beyond the realm of the physical dimension with people and extends into the non-physical dimension with non-physical beings.

People on earth have what is called the soul, or personal power. The soul of humans is something that can be taken or given away or stolen. The act of "soul stealing" is a common phenomenon among people in relationships where one person is a dominating or power taking person.

People also have what is called an energy field or aura. A common problem that most people have is that somewhere in life they became dis-connected to their own personal power or soul and because of this they have become dependent on the energy of other people. The term "Energy vampire", or "Psychic Vampire" is often a misunderstood term, but it is basically a person who lives and feeds off the life force or energy of other people. The "energy vampire" person is actually unable to develop their own energy, and in turn they have to go "outside" of themselves to get energy. The main cause of energy stealing or feeding is a lack of connection to ones own personal power or soul, for if you had a connection to yourself on a deeper level you would have no need to use other people for energy. It is extremely common among humans although only a few people are actually aware of it, in terms of having to protect their own energy from being stolen or used by others. On a deeper level, the act of taking or using someone else's energy is based on having power over another person, and it is a lower level of consciousness that people have chosen to operate under.

A common belief is that energy vampires are negative people or use negativity to drain you, although this is not true. Someone can take your energy just by you speaking to them, listening to them speak, looking at them, or being close to them in terms of space, (like if you were to stand very close to another person). It has nothing to do with being negative, it has to do with a person who is on a lower vibration energetically, and just by dealing with them, your energy is taken.

What is even more interesting is most people who take or use other people's energy, do not know they do it. This is because most people do not understand how energy works, therefore t

When a user operates with a giver, there is an imbalance of energy exchanges. What this means is the user cannot give or exchange energy because of his or her lack of power, while the giver tends to "give" energy to the other person which is the user. So this imbalance creates a unhealthy relationship between the two people, as one person takes and the other person gives. As the relationship develops the user can actually steal whole parts of power or soul from the other person who is a giver. These parts of power or soul that are stolen from the giver are usually unknown to them because of there lack of understanding of how the soul functions on an energy level in regards to "Soul Loss". As parts of personal power are stolen they create openings or holes in the energy field. Once a person begins to develop holes in his or her energy field they are "energetically vulnerable" meaning they have power missing from them which in turn has caused them to be open energetically to non-physical beings. The attachment of non-physical beings in a persons energy field is what causes a person to develop lower levels of consciousness, energy, and power. The more power a person has stolen from another person, the more power is lost from that person and the more energetically vulnerable that person becomes.

It is important to understand that we are not living in a world that is made of kind and loving beings, although you may believe you are. The darker truth of life is that this world we live in is made mostly of fear based beings, lower level humans, and dark consciousness. For if we lived in a loving world there would be no need to fight, battle, have power over each other, start wars, or hurt one another.

The fact that humans have lived for thousands of years, and have created nothing but sickness, pain and misery within one another is only an example of how humans operate on a deeper level.

Very interesting read, and something I have pondered for years. Thank you for sharing!

Let's call them —energy vampires?? — the people who only —take?? from you.

Energy vampires can be your family, friends, clients, colleagues, teachers, neighbors, lovers, or even strangers. And they come in all types??_

There is the blamer, who lays blame on everyone else without ever taking any responsibility.
The guilt trippers use shame to get what they want.

Jealous bees can never genuinely feel happiness for anyone else.

Then there are the insecure ones, who pull others down to their level of low self-esteem.

The fun haters seem unable to embrace joy. The bullies stomp on the little guys to elevate their egos.

The Debbie downers, the whiners, the short-tempers, the gossipers, the drama queens, and the list goes on??_

Whatever form they take, energy vampires have one thing in common: They cannot create or sustain their own life force in any positive manner. So they latch on and feed off on others, slowly sucking the life out of them.

No doubt you know people like this. You probably care about them, too. Heck, they may even mean well! They may protest their love and care for you. That makes it hard to get away from these energy-sucking relationships.

In the past, I tolerated energy vampires. I prided myself on being able to get along with everybody, to —suck it up?? and —be the bigger person.?? Maybe I was even afraid to speak my mind, or didn't want others to see me as being difficult or aloof.

Perhaps I just didn't want to alienate anyone.

But all the while, I was sacrificing my own precious energy.

The thing is, relationships are always an exchange of energy. People either uplift us??_ or they don't.

During the last year, it horrified and surprised me how affected I was by the energy vampires in my life. In order to continue to stay and do my best, it became apparent that I??d need to safeguard my physical, emotional, and mental energy from them.

And the same goes for you.

You are the guardian of your own energetic space. And to live a healthy, happy, and positive life, it is absolutely vital that you surround yourself with people who promote the same way of living.

So ask yourself: Who is draining my life energy?

In The Art of Decluttering, I talked about the benefits of evaluating which objects to keep and which to let go. The same goes for assessing the people — the qua

Here are seven ways to cope with energy vampires:

1. Take a deep breath and let it go! There's no need to allow their words or actions to linger and take up space in your heart and mind.

2. Recognize when their words or actions are unacceptable. Don't give them permission to leech your energy.

3. Keep things light and change the focus. Learn not to react on impulse; instead, go with the flow, and tactfully bring the situation back to neutral ground.

4. Remind yourself of the purpose of your bond or connection (e.g., why is this person in your life, how are you associated with them?), and know that you are allowed to walk away.

5. Take a step back by putting their words or actions into perspective. Their behavior is a reflection on them, not you.

6. Visualize a protective light around you, like an energy shield. This can help you remain energetically neutral without letting their words or actions cut or affect you.

7. Affirm your self-worth. You deserve to be surrounded by positive, genuine, and caring people who inspire you to be your very best.

Cheers to a happy, healthy, and energetic 2013!

You're welcome 🙂

Have you ever faced negative people before? Do you know how to deal with negative people? If you are regularly exposed to a fair diversity of people, chances are you probably encountered at least a few negative people, with 1 or 2 really negative ones. How do you feel after your encounters with them?
Negative people tend to leave others around them drained, tired and lethargic. No matter what you say, they always seem to find a way to counter with a negative opinion. When they face a problem, they soak themselves in the issue rather than deal with it constructively. They adopt a self-victimizing mindset, complaining about whatever happens.

Even when you try to change the topic to something positive, they have a way to turn it into something negative. They are constantly fixated with the doom and gloom of (their) life. Everything is black; there is no white. In the event there is some element of positivity that enters their spectrum, they are quick to excuse that as a one-off encounter or see the dark side behind that.

To negative people, life just sucks.

Negative people may leave you a bad taste in your mouth like critical people, but they??re not necessarily the same. The natural reaction of critical people is to criticize and pinpoint things they don't like. Whereas for negative people, they usually don't have any malicious intent toward others. What they hold is a disdain toward life in general.

How To Deal With Energy Vampires
If you??re facing energy vampires in your life, what you need is some helping points on how to deal with them:
1. Ground Yourself
The first important step when facing energy vampires is to ground yourself. To ground yourself is to center yourself such that you do not get easily affected or swayed by negative energies around you. Otherwise you??ll get easily sucked into his/her vortex. Think of it as standing next to a quick sand. Be rooted in your own energy first before you engage him/her.
To ground yourself, first imagine the essence of your soul amassing in the center of your body. Next, imagine roots growing out from underneath your feet, deep into the ground. The roots are extremely sturdy and strong — they are anchoring you and your essence into the ground, such that nothing can sway them. Think of yourself as a big and strong oak tree that's firmly rooted in the ground.
2. Shield Yourself
The next step is to shield yourself. This is your second layer of protection, after grounding. A shield is like a bubble around you that separates you and the world; it's an energy barrier which keeps out any forms of undesirable energy from entering into your space. Like a real shield, your shield is a defense tool which protects you from aggressors or attacks from outside. It keeps your energy within you and prevents it from getting sucked by the energy vampire. Read: How to Make a Energy Shield.
A shield is not permanent. The energy of the shield wears off over time, which lowers its ability to protect you. In the face of negative people trying to leech off your energy, the shield??s defense ability can be quickly depleted. The more negative the person is, the weaker the shield becomes. When it reaches a point where the shield??s energy is fully depleted, it will cease to function. To avoid that from happening, you should constantly check to ensure your shield is present and upkeep it where needed.

In Positive Energy I discuss some types of energy vampires to watch for at work and ways to deal with them.

Vampire #1: The Sob Sister
Every time you talk to her she's whining. She adores a captive audience. She's the coworker with the —poor me?? attitude who??s more interested in complaining than solutions.

How to Protect Yourself: Set clear boundaries. Limit the time you spend talking about her complaints. With a firm but kind attitude say, —I'm sorry I can only talk for a few minutes today.?? And go on with your work.

Vampire #2: The Drama Queen
This vampire has a flair for exaggerating small incidents into off-the-chart dramas. My patient Sarah was exhausted when she hired a new employee who was always late for work. One weeks he had the flu and —almost died.?? Next, his car was towed, again!. After this employee left her office Sarah felt tired and used.

How to Protect Yourself: A drama queen doesn't get mileage out of equanimity. Stay calm. Take a few deep breaths. This will help you not get caught up in the histrionics. At work, set kind but firm limits. Say, "You must be here on time to keep your job. I'm sorry for all your mishaps, but work comes first."

Vampire #3:The Constant Talker or Joke Teller
He has no interest in your feelings; he's only concerned with himself. Initially, he might seem entertaining, but when the talking doesn't stop, you begin to get tired. You wait for an opening to get a word in edgewise but it never comes. Or he might physically move in so close he's practically breathing on you. You edge backwards, but without missing a beat, he steps closer again. —One patient said about such a coworker, —Whenever I spot this man my colon goes into spasm.??

How to Protect Yourself: Know that these people don't respond to nonverbal cues. You must speak up and interrupt. Listen for a few minutes- then from a neutral place politely say, —I'm a quiet person, so please excuse me for not talking a long time—a much more constructive tack than —Keep quiet, you??re driving me crazy!??

Vampire #4. The Fixer Upper
This vampire is desperate for you to fix her endless pro
