For those of you who need to hear this today...
We love them, and we know that time with them can be very very draining.
Learning about the energy vampire, how to recognize them, and then using strategies that will keep you from racing to them, and feeling the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual drain of them, is going to be very beneficial.
While these people don’t often drain peoples energy on purpose (except for the narcissist), there are several different types of energy vampires to be aware of.
Let’s start with the ones that everyone talks about these days.
Chaotic Personalities
These kinds of people are always in chaos. They don’t set boundaries, and so life keeps happening. The best way to handle people who are in constant chaos is to limit your time with them, and honestly, don’t ask them what’s new. They will be more than happy to tell you.
Passive Aggressives
These guys are very good at trying to hide their anger. It’s almost like they have a poker face. You would never know they are angry. They will tell you that they will do something and then either not complete on their promise, or only half do it, which creates an energy zap for you, because it feels like work.
It's a pattern of behaviour. There is a promise which is often broken. They say they will do something, and then, don’t completely follow through on it. They also never answer a question fully.
Victim Personalities
People who are stuck in their victim mentality will often reach out to the empath, to get advice, to have them fix it, even though it never gets fixed, or to talk about their victimhood over and over again. These personalities are not interested in creating change in their lives, because they have become very comfortable in their uncomfortable life. It’s what they know. And so, they stay stuck there. The empath wants to help, wants to do whatever it takes to give them a leg up, and then the person with this personality type, will drain you of everything you’ve got.
The strategy here is to hold them able. Everyone has their journey in life, and you as an empath don’t need to become a victim with them.
Once you have had enough neural input, and constant conversations that are draining your precious energy, you will want to run away, so that you can ground yourself, and then for some reason, we as empaths come back again for more.
And that, my dear ones, makes us the victim too.
Before you leave the house
Ground yourself
Meditate
Breathe deeply through your diaphragm
I have often recommended that you wear a power piece, whether it’s a pair of shoes, or a scarf, a piece of jewelry, or a crystal that you carry with you, so that you are protected from energy suckers.
When you come back to the house after your encounter with an energy vampire
Take a shower and brush of the toxic energy the energy vampire left with you with love and light.
Meditate to one of my meditations - there is one for difficult emotions that you can use.
If an energy vampire visits your home
Smudge your house, and yourself after they leave. Smudge where the person spent time, the windows, the door ways too.
I love rosewater and have been using it for a really long time to clear energies. You can use it in your bath, add a couple of drops into your coffee or tea, spray some rosewater or lavender to create calm.
Talk to me or someone that you can confide in, but make sure that you are not becoming a complainer or a victim yourself.
Remember dear ones, you are worthy of having a life filled with joy, love, kindness, and all the good things that life has to offer.
I am always here for you. Reach out if you want to explore this further.
