Some habitually unhappy people believe their mission in life is to bring everyone else back down to earth. They rob others of the joy of the moment or destroy a happy mood, sapping the energy of their victim.
Vampires show their fangs by making derogatory comments, pointing out the slightest of mistakes or scowling and grimacing to destroy the positive atmosphere. Unhappy with their own lives, they usually complain about the same things and fears over and over. In the mind of the energy vampire, little ever gone right for them in life.
Setting Boundaries
Avoidance is the best policy, but this is not always possible for if the vampire finds easy prey, they will return. But their energy need and their view of life need not be contagious.
In addition to some practical tips on dealing with these energy suckers, here are three spiritually-based suggestions.
Protection of the Body’s Power Center
During any interaction, even ones that are not face-to-face, such as a phone call or picking up a text message, place a hand over the mid-section or the fourth chakra to protect the body’s power center and lessen the energy bandit’s attack.
Shielding Personal Positive Energy
Positive energy is often viewed as a bright white light from the heavens. It can be a beacon to creatures of the dark or negative beings, but it can be protected. One can visualize pulling this light down through the body, then pegging it into the earth.
To shield the positive energy, one can envision mirrors around it, then, flip the mirrors outward. It's believed that any negative zinger sent by the vampire or any attempt to steal the positive energy will bounce off the mirrors and back to them.
Send Them Love and Mean It
The same bright white light can be sent to the energy vampire once the positive energy is protected. To do this effectively, all of the vampires past indiscretions must be forgiven so the bright white light or love sent to them is pure. Energy vampires feed off of anger, so this must be done with the most honorable of intentions.
The vampire can either accept the gift and change their attitude, or run. It's believed that there is plenty of positive energy to go around, so one can just keep pulling it down from the heavens.
Practice Generating a Positive Atmosphere
An energy vampire can wear out their victim and suck them of their joy. Avoidance is not always possible, but the intended prey can be proactive, thereby diffusing the effects of the energy leech's negativity. With practice, the object of the assault will find their strength increases and the bite will be taken out of the vampire's attack.
