You may have heard of the term ‘Psychic Vampires’ and it’s unlike the fictional characters of Vampires who suck the blood of their victims portrayed in films etc. There is a connection however, in this connotation the ‘Vampire’ is sucking and leeching something and it pertains to ‘Psychic’ energy.
We all know about these characters, we have all met them from time to time, the relative, the work colleague or the friend. I use the term friend loosely as a psychic vampire is not a true friend.
Psychic vampires suck the energy out of others, some may not be even aware they are doing this, but I maintain if they had any sort of conscious they would realise and not do this to others. The so called friend, who dumps all their tales of woe on to you, more than happy to tell you all about themselves and all their problems. They are very needy characters in general and self centred, so wrapped up in themselves, who think the world revolved around themselves.
A healthy relationship is a two way process, there is give and take from both parties, equally they can exchange problems but equally they support and listen. Psychic vampires don’t listen, they seem oblivious to anyone else, so happy to dump all their problems on someone else, but don’t listen when that someone has troubles of their own.
When we are going through problems there is often a lot of negative energy attached, negative energy pulls us down and exhausts us, it affects our psyche, our aura causing it to shrink back and this affects the efficacy of our chakras, compounding further stress, immune and health problems. So if a psychic vampire comes along with their tales of woe they dump all this negative energy on to you. I’m sure you know and have experienced this, the so called friend dumps all their problems on to you, you listen, the so called friend feels better having got rid of their negative energy on to you and you are left feeling exhausted and drained. There is a natural series of laws within the Universe where there is a constant source of energy exchange. e.g. the psychic vampire dumps negative energy onto the listener at the same time leeches positive energy from the listener, so they go away feeling the better for it and you the listener has had all your positivity sucked from you.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t exchange problems and don’t listen, far from it, but there should be a sharing, a give and take on both sides.
So what can we do to protect ourselves? Well various crystals around us can help (There is a section on psychic protection elsewhere on this site giving details) and we can form a protective barrier around ourselves psychically, by visualising we are surrounded in a sealed bubble of golden light, but this has to be kept up constantly and sometimes the psychic vampire is leeching so much even this doesn’t work. We can try giving them a hint, more often this doesn’t work as they are wrapped up in themselves, or tell them politely, and even this sometimes doesn’t work, so what can you do? When it gets to this stage, the relationship is in danger of becoming toxic to you, its draining and exhausting especially if you have problems of your own, so the only way is distancing yourself from the psychic vampire. Sometimes if they have any conscious that will jolt them into realising what they are doing, if it doesn’t and this won’t work with particularly self centred individuals, the only thing left to do, is to make a clean break and walk away from this toxic relationship for your own good, for how can you deal with your own problems or help others if your health and well being is being affected by the sheer exhaustion of the psychic vampire leeching all your positive energy.
