ENERGY VAMPIRES
Written by Psychic Jill    Write Jill with possible topic idea's

Your phone rings, you check caller ID and groan to yourself, oh no.  It's "them" calling you.  You know, the friend or relative that calls you and dumps on you.  That one person in your life you just dread talking to.  We all have at least one in our life.  We may not use the term Energy Vampire, but that's what they are. 

You're having a great day, everything is going great and then they either call you, drop by your house or corner you in the break room.  It's unavoidable, they're going to trap you and tell you all their problems, never letting you get a word in edgewise, and there's no getting away from them.   The more they talk, the worse you feel.  You may shake your head or get in an occasional, uh huh, but that's about it.  They aren't interested in you or what you have to say, all they want to do is "feed" off of you.  Your muscles tense up, you feel hopelessly trapped, and you know you are in for the long haul.  They're going to zap you.  By the time they walk away or hang up you feel so drained and so tired you just want to lay your head on the desk or lay down.  Your once happy-go-lucky mood was instantly soured by their feeding frenzy. 

They, on the other hand, are happy as clams.  They have just sucked the positive energy out of you.  They walk away happy and content, having unloaded all their karmic garbage on you, reversing the energy flow, and feeding off  of your life force energy.  They may even hug you and thank you.  They just gorged themselves on your aura.  They are Energy Vampires.  You are like the pump at the gas station.  They plug into you and gulp every ounce of balanced, calm energy you possessed.

As sad as it seems, these poor lost creatures usually aren't even aware of what they are.  Some consciously feed off of others, but most subconsciously do it.  They don't mean to.  It is not done with malice or contempt, they are just natural born energy zappers.   Even Buffy can't help you in a situation like this.  You are on your own, trying to survive their attack.  There are some people that are known in a group or a community as an Energy Vampire.  They're everywhere, and they don't just come out at night.  Think about your co-workers, friends, relatives, or a group you belong to.  You're smiling.  Yes, you know who I'm talking about and others in the group will usually identify them as an energy vampire too.  You will talk amongst yourselves and express your feelings about how "they" make you feel. 

What can you do to defend yourself?  When you first get up in the morning do a meditation and surround yourself with White Light.  Some people call this the Christ Light, others call it Universal Light, but it is a protective beam of white light you envision coming down from the heavens and surrounding you, enveloping your whole being.  Some people like to visualize being blanketed and wrapped up like a cocoon.   Some people of the Christian faith like to pray a hedge around themselves.

Second, guard your solar plex area.  This is the area of the stomach in the midriff section. This is the spot where we take in all of our emotions.  It is also known as the third chakra in the body. The best thing to do is to either sit or stand with your arms firmly crossed over this area, with your hands hugging your waist.  When they catch you on the phone the best thing to do is to sit with your hand up to the receiver, palm side facing the phone.  This will reflect their negative energy and prevent them from zapping you over the phone.  Don't think you can avoid their calls.  Sooner or later they figure out you checked your caller ID and they will use the *67 feature and block their number from your caller ID.  Trust me, I have had more than one energy vampire try this trick with me.  It's gets tricky, but pretty soon you don't answer calls that say unavailable either.  At times you just don't want to answer your phone at all.  They usually have a set pattern though, and call at certain times.   Believe it or not, their need to feed off energy is much the same as you or me going out to lunch or dinner because we're hungry.

God love them.  They mean no harm.  They are just usually lost, lonely souls looking for someone to listen to them and enable them.  So you're shaking your head yes now as you read this.  You're getting the picture.  I bet an image of your Energy Vampire is lurking in your mind right you.  You're frowning and cringing just thinking about them; aren't you?

Gotta love 'em.  What can you do?  Ignoring them is not the answer because they don't take the hint and stop bothering you.  Shield yourself.  It is always a good idea to surround yourself and your loved ones with White Light.  Angels come in handy, too.  Call upon the angel of patience for you and the angel of comfort for them.  Pray for them and ask God to give them direction and inner peace and guidance.  Be their friend, but not their entree.
