Energy Vampires

What are they?

When you think of vampires, do you automatically think of the old Bela Lugosi stereotype, or perhaps Tom Cruise springs to mind? Although similar in some basic level, energy vampires are not like those pictured in Hollywood. Energy vampires, rather than drinking blood, feed off of a person's energy field, often without knowing they are doing so. If you have read "Insomnia" by Stephen King, you will notice the two main characters use other's energies to help them battle the evil Atropos (I think that's the right name).

If there is a person in your life who leaves you feeling utterly drained and exhausted following a visit, or an outing, this person may well be an energy vampire. He/she is literally using your energy to keep themselves going at a fast pace. Often, although he/she won't know that they are doing this, they will experience a brief rush of adrenaline - and though consciously will not put two and two together, sub-conciously it will be realized.

How you can protect yourself:

When you think you have been, or will be, in contact with someone you believe is an energy vampire, you must learn to protect yourself, as lengthy exposure can cause harm to the physical body (all that is reflected in the energy body will be reflected in the spiritual as well as physical bodies). First, you must determine who the person(s) are, and you can do this by simple divination methods. I suggest using a pendulum, dangling it over a picture of the person(s). Call out either vocally or mentally, asking Spirit to reveal who might be doing you harm in this manner.

Once you have received an answer, you will know when to erect a "Mirror Shield" to protect yourself. This is a simple visualisation technique, although for most pagans and witches there are spells or charms that can be worn to activate the shield.

"Mirror Shield"

Take a deep breath. If you can't close your eyes for whatever reason, close off part of your mind to use during your visualisation, while remaining alert to the rest of the world. If you can close your eyes, close them now.

Picture yourself standing in a white room (white being the accepted color of pure energy), with your arms extended outward from your body. Your feet are slightly apart, giving you a stable stance. Now, draw a deep breath, and "see" your chakra energy spinning faster, and glowing brighter at each point. Bring that energy into yourself - you can feel the energy at each point, but it is withdrawn so that it is no longer visible.
