Learn to recognize an energy vampires and how you can manage them. \u00a0Energy\u00a0therapist shares some simple ways to keep yourself free of other people’s negative energy and rise to your\u00a0true magnificent self.<\/p>\n
Every day, we are exchanging energy with people whether it\u2019s from our morning bus ride, work meetings, or at home with our loved ones. Sometimes these exchanges can leave us feeling energized, happy, carefree, and excited to take on the world. Other times we may leave feeling depleted or depressed. In some instances our own life circumstances is to blame for these funky moods. However, we also tend to pick up negative emotions from others we\u2019ve come into contact with. These transmitters can be anyone from our family to friends, or even strangers on the bus.<\/p>\n
We generally embrace a positive, energetic exchange, like the excited and passionate energies shared at a football game. In fact, some people exude love, acceptance, and nurturance. A dear friend of mine is a psychotherapist and I\u2019m always amazed at how strangers would uninhibitedly ask her for hugs. It\u2019s awe inspiring how people willingly reveal to her their deepest fears. It\u2019s all because they sense her candid energy, which has proven to be a guiding light for those in need.<\/p>\n
In contrast, all of us can relate to the fussy person that always seems to be in the grocery store line, the whiner at work, or our Debbie Downer and Negative Nancy friends. These folks are inherently prone to devour our energy leaving us feeling depleted after connecting with them. Some of us may be resilient to these energy vampires<\/strong>, but those that are energetically sensitive have a tougher time. They can feel funky after just sleeping in a hotel, sitting in a chair, or by simply being in the same room as a stranger with lots of negative energy.<\/p>\n As a really sensitive person, I used to be fearful and wary of these exchanges. Consequently, my guard was in Homeland Security code orange status. Over time, I learned that these fearful states only attract more low vibration, or negative energy. During my interview with energy therapist Dewey Meyer<\/a>, I was able to increase my understanding about energy to an even deeper level.<\/p>\n In the end, it\u2019s important to realize that we\u2019re all, in one way or another, an energy vampire to someone. This doesn\u2019t mean that we should accept being a victim to those that are energy vampires. Instead we should be careful not to stand in judgment.<\/p>\n The guide below presents information from my interview with Dewey, my own personal experiences, and the best advice I could find from other folks along the path. This guide provides techniques to protect and calm your systems from internalized fear and realize that love is the ultimate protection.<\/p>\n Here are a few steps to deflect energy vampires:<\/p>\n The term \u201cenergy vampire\u201d comes from the idea of a person that sucks the life energy from you. Energy vampires may be your family, friends, clients, colleagues, teachers, neighbors, lovers, or even strangers. Those classified as an \u201cenergy vampire\u201d are normal, goodhearted people. Often, energy vampires aren\u2019t even aware that they have the capability to telepathically drain you of your energy .<\/p>\n Energy vampires feel empty as if a part of them is dead; they lack life energy. As a result, they desperately seize all of the resources they can get a hold of from others around them so that they can sustain themselves. This is typical behavior of a person that feels as if the whole world revolves around them. They lack empathy and are incapable of seeing things from another person\u2019s perspective. Sadly, an energy vampire falsely believes that the only way to come back to life and have their needs met is to feed off of the life energy from those around them.<\/p>\n According to Dr. Bruce Goldberg and Jen Nicomedes Stone, there are many types of energy vampires. Below are a few.<\/p>\n A form of psychic vampirism happens through sex when the partner feeds off of the sexual energy projecting from someone else.<\/p>\n Paranoia is a result of those who have been betrayed. The typical profile of a paranoid type is someone who lacks trust and is prone to fight with others and blame someone else for their problems.<\/p>\n Super sensitive and withdrawn, the ethereal type feel ungrounded in their bodies and distant from the world.\u00a0 They are generally indifferent people that find no interest in interacting with others.<\/p>\n The insecure type comes across as helpless individuals that like to pull you down to their level of low self-esteem. Their main issue is a generalized sense of inadequacy and a fear of rejection and abandonment. They insist you do things for them and expect for you to take care of their every need.<\/p>\n Passive aggressive folks want to do things their way and don\u2019t like being controlled or having their space infringed upon. Freedom is a high value for them. They live in the now, and never plan or think about the future. Despite valuing freedom, passive-aggressive types lack autonomy and are constantly involving other people in their lives. Often passive aggressive will make requests of help, but when you give them advice you\u2019ll find that most of your suggestions will be wrong and that you are of no help to them.<\/p>\n Robot types are inauthentic or \u201cnot real\u201d. Their fa\u00e7ade is seemingly unflawed and beautiful as the appearance of perfection is their main goal. They never complain about the world because appropriateness and being “politically correct” are more important than being real.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0 Summary of various types of energy vampires found at : http:\/\/www.drbrucegoldberg.com\/EnergyVampires.htm<\/a><\/p>\n The guilt tripper uses shame and guilt as a way to get what they want.<\/p>\n Here are some ways to test whether you have been attacked energetically:<\/p>\n VIDEO: http:\/\/youtu.be\/T0Ap_RFxZ6I?t=10m33s<\/a><\/p>\n Just like any predator, energy vampires want easy targets with bountiful energy and weak defenses.
