This might not be the best forum for this. I wanted to post it somewhere in here [LL] but just not sure of the best forum. It's an article I've written about the people who feed off your energy. It's more about emotional well being than myth or magic.

I've encountered a few in real life and in forums.
Good article. I read yours. Knowledge is power and there are a lot of vulnerable people out there.
i've noticed the more gentle you are the larger target you become, so it's important to spot the "psychic vampire" before they involve you in their trickery.
Then you get the delusional types who make things up to feed off your energy.
I don't invite them in any more, because as soon as you talk to them they think you want their attention and they tax you energetically without you realising it. Avoid avoid avoid them, in my experience.
I also did some energy work with on line people and pretty much cut any spikes of thought energy coming out from them.
Nothing that they can say or do can cause an emotional reaction. That is what they want.

I came back to your article QC, very well written. I would like to share it on facebook.

Hey I didn't realise who you were, I know now!

I just spent the last half hour reading your blog. So awesome!

This is the best book on the subject I've found:

Psychic Sheild by Caitlin Matthews
http://www.amazon.com/Psychic-Shield-Personal-Handbook-Protection/dp/1569755353

We are all tangled in a psychic web. Energy/Psychic Vampires often arent consciously trying to do harm, but just don't mesh well with certain others (part of life!) and it becomes an energy drain for both parties. I've noticed this numerous times and don't think the people were trying to do any harm, but they just didnt like each other for whatever reason. OR one didnt mind the other, but one party disliked the other....and thus projected onto the other...

Also don't forget that you can think someone is disrupting your energy, when it's really that you don't like them and think negatively about them - and it's really you disrupting your own energy field with your thoughts about them, & it's easier to say that it's THEM and not you. When it's actually stemming from you. If you know what I mean.

I've had that happen a couple of times.

I'd also like to add that it's not really energetic cords you are cutting off from them, but more from yourself - cleansing your OWN energy field.

People can't do anything to you without your consent - and that includes you trying to "heal" them.

You can protect yourself from anything you imagine might be there, but what it all boils down to, is that it's usually all in your own mind. That's the first and last place healing (or cord cutting) begins and ends.

Wish people well and move on after working on yourself. They still may wish ill for you, but it will be lessened because you have learned how to protect yourself, your energetic field will be strong and in your mind, "it's over". That's a HUGE part of it all. To not delay bringing an end to things even though others might want to continue with drama.

Disentangle yourself from it as best you can & try to bring a peaceful resolution.

They may not accept, but guess what? They don't have to.

If they hang on to the negative energy, it's best to just cut off all contact and avoid when at all possible.

I just called in on my way to bed so I'll answer properly in the morning, it's already 00:48 and I have the school run first thing.

Sunchild ~ Yes it's me and feel free to share. Glad you liked the blog. Just starting another for animal totems and hoping to have that ready by the end of the week. I've still got trees and flowers to do too but will end up giving the plant life a home of it's own. All of it is divination/soul work based. I did study some herbalism but not enough to write about it.

T ~ I have an oracle deck by Caitlin Matthews, I used to love working with that.

Oh, i didnt know she had a deck! Will have to check it out.

This thread made me realize how adept I've become at not playing into people's games, no matter how hard they try to snag me (though, I do still get caught sometimes - i can now shake it off easier).

Was thinking back over the years, and growth processes....
this place, being a biggie in helping me in that department!
and how things have really changed in my life. What would have bothered me years ago, is able to slide right off my back now.

And that's part of breaking a cycle/cutting a cord that you never wanted attached to you anyway.

Just remembering what is real, who you are, your heart's intention and letting the people who think otherwise, do so. I mean, you can't stop them!! Or convince them otherwise, so why bother? Let them, sit in their negative soup and stew. It's their choice.

Eventually they always wake up and realize it wasnt the way they imagined it to be. And start working from within.

I like your article, by any chance are you familiar with the works of Michelle Belanger, the self proclaimed Psychic Vampire?



Its mostly about her own research/findings as regards PsyVamps & their culture, quite interesting -nods-

There is a free, all be it incomplete version of it here...

The Vampire Codex http://www.sacred-texts.com/goth/vc/index.htm

(Its missing the books Forward, and various anecdotal story's, epilogue and so forth). Nonetheless for someone interested in Psychic Vampirism its worth a look

Personally speaking, the vast majority of "awakened/aware" PsyVamps I know, have little interest in feeding from the "Gen-Pop", and much prefer a closed group with other awakened ones...

Each to there own I guess...

Ooh great! What I totally loved was the deep simplicity of your articles. I've seen so many blogs and articles that have not caught my attention due to over examining and over explaining, assumption based nonsense. You my dear, hit the nail on the head. If cant be said simply I believe people start making stuff up to suit their own imagination. I sent your blog to my sister to shed light on a family member.
Because its kind of interesting when everyone has the same experience with the one person. The common denominator in it all.
Look forward to your Animal Totems!!

Nice, I like it!

And I live it~

And I have learned...after half a century of being the one sucked on~

A Pisces nurse..

However, eventually we do learn to re-cognize who is feeding on us and who ful-fills us, but it behooves all of us to not let any of these type near, as we, obviously do ourselves harm, and not so obviously do harm to them as the feeding will never stop, unless we do not provide nourishment.

Thanks for posting!!!

Every single person is capable of using another persons energy, especially people who are simply ill/sick. This does not mean they are all Psychic Vampires

You also have to factor in the 4% of 7 billion (280 million) people who are Psychopaths, which only a fraction of those are Psychic Vampires...

PsyVamps have a bad rap lol...

Vamps can also make some of the greatest healers on the planet due to their ability to manipulate energy systems -nods-

Sorry I didn't get back to this yesterday, I had to get some astrology done and it took forever.

@Sunchild, I think avoidance works well for many things

@T the deck is actually a different take on tarot [I had to check] it's called The Celtic Wisdom Tarot ~ huuge cards and she renamed the suits and majors but a nice deck if you can get hold of it.

I agree that we can often get caught up in saying "it's them" instead of checking out our own involvement. I don't think most people realise what they're doing either...and we have to acknowledge that we're the ones letting it happen and we can just as easily stop it.

@Lei_kuei ~ I'm not familiar with her work no. I write mainly from experience. I'm happy to study proper psychology, astrology, tarot and a few other things but the "energetic" stuff comes from 15 yrs in the field so to speak.

@Hippichick ~ A Pisces nurse? LOL, I can only imagine.... I reckon you'll have attracted more than your fair share of feeders. I do think the nurses have it harder than the docs because the docs are allowed to keep more of a professional distance. They're psychically primed to have tougher boundaries.

Love this explanation.

I'm very weary of labeling someone an energy vampire. It's important to empathize and feel compassion for them first. There are ways of dealing with people like that without bouncing their negative energy back to them and perpetuating the problem.

haha when I read the article, it reminded me of some of my co workers...! Who ask me to take their shifts constantly. I really did see one of them once and tried to quickly go the other way out of their presence.

A lady who lectures at DragonCon each year is a psychic vampire and teaches that it is a good thing.

I have heard many definitions of a "Psychic Vampire", as to what it really means I am probably yet to find out....?
So far it looks like everyone has a different perception.

Apparently they need energy and either "feed" with consent, without consent, or aren't aware that they are feeding.

I think their main problem is that they have some sort of self inflicted energy wound, that just causes them to constantly try and fill that void

They could probably be fixed, although if it meant losing their extra strong energy siphoning abilities I'm not sure if they would want to part with it, cause its very very useful in sex

I just feel somewhere in their ancient soul past, that they took a shortcut to power, and their self inflicted void is the result...

Well, Ive read alot about them, listened to what people who claim to be psy-vamps have to say, and know a few of them personally -nods-

So its always been in my best interest to be informed on such, or at least try to be... I'm merely speculating as to their issues, based off of known knowns... and known unknowns - Rumsfeld Win!

If you have a specific question, Ill try to answer -nods-

Great, well written, fully explained article.

Yin, I agree!

The intent behind the act of the individual drawing on another person's energy is important. There are those, sociopaths and psychopaths who are now "cyberpaths" (aka: trolls), whose "intent" is to cause emotional harm and in some extreme cases both emotional and physical harm. They are the true "Vampires". Those whose intent is to simply receive attention, acknowledgement, or to satisfy some emotional "need" based on an intense inner level would, in my book, be considered a "leach." A vampire bites with the intent of harming you, where a leach latches on and sucks based on an inner "need" to feed whatever that inner need may be. I do believe we are to attempt to help those "when we can." In some cases, helping someone is to do nothing and do it without feeling and/or expressing negativity in any way. In other cases, someone may need you and you may be able to help them. It all depends on the individual situation and how strong you are and whether you have the ability to take on such emotional energy and work with it to make it better. Not everyone is that capable emotionally. It's a tough thing to do.

I know someone who is drawn to these leach type of individuals and I believe it is because she has this inner need to be helpful and to be recognized for something good and great, as if she must prove this to herself. She is a very good person - very thoughtful and helpful. She, however, extends too much and then suffers physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically from it at which point she spirals down in each of those areas. She then angers quickly, gets irritated, etc., all without realizing that it was her own choice of action that brought her to this dreadful place. This is when SHE becomes the vampire and her draw on you is the negativity coming out of her. THIS, in my opinion, is the kind of vampire you must back away from for the short term, until they re-energize and get their senses back. The negativity they thrust out creates a vortex that will SUCK YOU INto their negative cycle for which you will repeat it by extending like energy outward and suck in others. By backing away without the release of your own negativity, you rise above it and recognize it for what it is. By doing this, you break the cycle of negativity. Once the storm passes, you then decide which direction you'd like to go.

Again, that was a great article. Thanks for the link!
