Absolutely everyone can suffer from energy vampirism, and therefore below we will talk about how to figure out a person who takes your energy and how to resist its effects.

Who is the most vulnerable?

Energy vampires are not able to "stick" to every person. As a "victim" they choose physically weak people who bend under the pressure of a vampire. They catch people with weak immunity, who have a flimsy energy field, but most of all they love emotional people. It is enough to provoke a scandal, bring a person to emotions, and you can do nothing - inflamed and emotional, he will give his energy to the vampire.

How to spot an energy vampire

You may be surprised, but in your life you meet energy vampires almost constantly! This is your boss who makes a scandal at every planning meeting, making you shake with fear or indignation. This is a school teacher who humiliates his students, calling them "talentless", "ignorant" and threatens to give everyone a deuce for a quarter.
A jealous husband is still an energy vampire. If he constantly drives you hysterical with his suspicions for no reason, it is obvious that he feeds on your energy. Even an insolent person who does not give way to old people in transport and thereby provokes them to emotions is a real energy vampire.
You may not have guessed, but your close friend, who repeatedly comes to complain about her alcoholic husband or bad son, is also a vampire. Due to your reciprocal emotions, she feeds herself with energy. Your argumentative friend also suffers from vampirism, who cannot live a day without provoking you to emotional proof of his innocence. And even your child, who “stands on the bridge” in front of the supermarket checkout, demanding to buy him another toy, is also a little energy vampire baby.

So, the energy vampire can be characterized by the following features:

provokes other people to emotions;
secretly or openly rejoices in the failures of others;
likes to criticize others, but does not tolerate criticism in his direction;
constantly complains about fate, not noticing that he himself is the culprit of his troubles;
easily finds those responsible for their troubles - friends, relatives, boss, state;
loves to argue and constantly makes excuses;
finds something bad in any positive news;
constantly clings to the past, rejecting and not accepting anything new.
The energy vampire does not have long fangs, he easily tolerates sunlight, is reflected in the mirror and does not suffer from a crucifix directed at him. And yes, he doesn't drink blood. He just doesn't need it. It feeds on your energy, your life force!
Communicating with an energy vampire, one way or another, you begin to lose vital energy, which means you get irritated, nervous, scream or cry, argue, worry about him or sympathize with him. As a result, after communicating with such a person, you feel tired and exhausted, you feel weak and dizzy. You feel like you've been devastated! Something needs to be done about this! By far, the best way to protect yourself from an energy vampire is to avoid contact with this person. But if he is your manager, colleague or relative, this is not so easy, and in some cases impossible. We need to find another, more suitable way to deal with it.
There are special techniques that, without harm to health and secretly from the vampire attacking you, will help protect yourself from his attacks.

4 Ways to Protect Against Energy Vampirism

1. "Closed loop"
The easiest way to protect yourself from the attacks of the vampire and interrupt the absorption of your energy is to cross your legs or fingers while talking. With this gesture, you seem to close your own energy, blocking its exit to the external environment. In addition to crossing, always keep amulets and other things that bring you fond memories.
2. "Water column"
While communicating with an energy vampire, imagine that you are surrounded by a dense column of water, through which you can hardly see the interlocutor. As soon as you begin to feel weak and dizzy, immediately imagine a column of water to cut off the elusive flow of energy.
3. "Cocoon"
If you know that you will have a conversation with an energy vampire, prepare for this event. Just imagine that the silkworm wraps you in a dense cocoon. You feel comfortable, warm and calm. In this state, nothing can piss you off, and therefore communicate with a vampire from your cocoon, and you will notice that the communication went without a deterioration in well-being.
4. "Waterfall"
And this technique is suitable in the case when you have already encountered an energy vampire, and you need to quickly restore vitality. Get in the shower, adjust the temperature of the water to your comfort level, and relax. Imagine that streams of a mountain waterfall are flowing on your head, that they envelop you, washing away all negativity with their powerful stream. Along with bad emotions, water will wash away all the accumulated fatigue. By the way, if you constantly develop your image, soon you will be able to imagine a waterfall and recover with it, without even getting up in the shower. We have listed the main techniques for countering energy vampires. But besides this, every person who is puzzled by the problem of dealing with such people would like to give a couple of useful tips:
Remember, silence is the best defense! If you suspect that a certain person is depriving you of energy, leading to emotions, simply limit communication with him or remain silent in response to his provocations. When the vampire realizes that he cannot break through your protection, he will fall behind you and begin to look for another victim. Your calmness in this case will become a real talisman.
Stop empathizing. Your coldness towards those people who constantly complain and seek your support will be a worthy response to a vampire. Do not treat him indifferently or cruelly, treat him coldly so that he feels your cold well-being, but no longer shows a desire to be frank about his problems.
Stop being offended by the vampire. Resentment towards a person who feeds on your energy will indicate that the vampire has "sucked" and will feed on your energy for a long time to come. Do not hold a grudge against him, forgive insults and let this person go. Soon he realizes that he is not able to break through your defense and will go home.
Get an energy shield. They can be a special amulet or talisman that any experienced occultist can make. Keeping such a valuable amulet with you, you will be reliably protected from energy vampires!

By return, the following can be distinguished:

1. One type fulfills the role of both the vampire and the donor.
   It can both take and give energy.
2. The other one tries only to take away and give nothing in return.

By personality type:

1. Very narcissistic vampires are selfish and narcissistic.
2. Sufferers and aching martyrs.

There are also combinations of several different types at the same time.

All protection methods

1. Do not praise him or give positive approval to his deeds.

Narcissistic vampires are very dependent on approval.

This type is very longs for words of praise and compliments to you.

If you do not tell them absolutely to him, then he can no longer assert himself at your expense.

He stops seeing you as a source of energy.

Any positive responses of approval from your side are food and nourishment for the vampire with your energy. To protect against energy vampirism, do not let him show off and increase his importance in front of you.

At work, if he starts showing off to you, question his desire to assert himself.

For example, you can ask him questions like: Is this a reason to brag? What is so special here?».

To stop worrying about how to protect yourself from energy vampires at work, stop taking responsibility for his troubles and failures.

Don't take energy vampire shoals seriously.

This is his life and his mistakes. You're not going to suffer with him.

This is his and only his problem.. And let him deal with them himself.

Otherwise, by taking on the role of a gratuitous assistant, you yourself take on the role of a victim of energy depletion.

3. Stop communicating with him at all, move away from him as much as possible

If this is some kind of close acquaintance of yours, then everything is simple. You can easily stop seeing him and let him know that you don't need him.

To protect yourself from an energy vampire at work, you will need to limit your communication as much as possible with him.

The maximum that is worth telling him if you work in the same company or office is the formal “Hello” and “Goodbye!”.

If he himself goes to contact you, then tell him: “ I'm busy now, I don't have time, you're bothering me».

All this must be said without negativity and without the slightest hint of aggression.

4. Be active and exercise - it increases the energy level in the body

Your body must experience at least some physical activity.

The benefits of sports

By increasing your energy level in your body, you will no longer think about how to protect yourself from energy vampires at work.

7. Don't believe a single word they say, they love to lie

They are very deceitful and hypocritical people. who do everything for their own benefit. They are not congruent with humans.

I've learned to see and tell when a vampire thinks one thing and says another.

The vampire himself does not even suspect that the interlocutor feels and understands everything. He knows nothing about dealing with people.

They can even talk to you about some kind of spiritual warmth or brotherhood, which is not even in sight!

This naive pretense starts to piss you off.

Anyone will not like it when a person is not himself and pretends to be someone he really is not.

Do not believe a single word of his, and then you will know everything about how to protect yourself from an energy vampire.

The vampire loves to throw names around.

And most likely he communicates with you for his own benefit.

Some people don't know how to send and tell people no.

He will sit on your neck and suck energy until you tell him " Go away!».

Sometimes people make things difficult for themselves.

Your mercy and openness to people in the case of a vampire will be superfluous.

You shouldn't get attached to people who do nothing but take everything from you.

We have a new article on our website about where the methods are described getting rid of attachment and love addiction.

9. Due to “childhood trauma”, you can feel the vampire and his condition from a distance.

There are people who in childhood experienced the psychological trauma of what their parents left.

These people are more sensitive because they are constantly watching other people even more than themselves.

Such people have a trauma that is called "childhood trauma of the abandoned."

Childhood trauma of the abandoned based on the fact that you focus your attention on thoughts about other people.

This focus develops such sensitivity in you.

True, we do not need this sensitivity, since it does not add happiness.

Such people can connect to the states of other people at a distance, feel the state of another person, even if he is not nearby.

Having such sensitivity to feel people at a distance, people with childhood trauma themselves create a need for protection and then they themselves begin to worry about how to get rid of energy vampirism.

These people unconsciously shift the responsibility for their condition to other people.

You yourself can never even guess that this is really happening to you.

This is a very subtle point.

How to get rid of this sensitivity

To get rid of this ability and sensitivity, realize that:

• You don't need to feel other people anymore
• You do not need to know the thoughts and states of other people
• You don't want to know it anymore and be interested in it.

And then the need for protection from the vampire at work and in other places will disappear by itself.

10. Don't react impulsively to him and don't give any emotional feed to any of his words.

So that he doesn't tell you, you give him zero reactions.

This means that he has no value for you and it does not matter what he will say to you.

If he starts to insult you, no need to shout back or aggressively prove something by splashing saliva. After all, he is waiting for this.

No need to give him any emotional responses, and then you will know everything about how to deal with energy vampires.

Otherwise, he will only feel better.

You can simply return his own words to him in response.

More details about this are written in our article on.

11. Be close to him in a closed position: cross your legs and arms, your chest should not be directed towards him

Most closed posture is the one where you cross your legs and arms.

This will make it harder for him to reach out to you.

This position shows a lack of trust and comfort for the vampire on your part.

The vampire loves to find open people as a victim, so it is in relation to him that you do not need to be open.

The direction of your chest

The arrow in the picture indicates the direction coming from your chest.

The best pose against a vampire is one in which the direction of your chest does not meet the direction of the vampire's chest.

Therefore, if you work with him in the same office, then it is better not to sit opposite each other or in front of him.

Shoulder to shoulder and not necessarily close together is a pose that will also feel less pressure.

You can sit at parallel tables or so that the direction of your breasts is directed in different directions.

This way you close your question on how to deal with energy vampires at work.

12. Don't be open and good-natured with him.

Spiritual circles of moral support - places of profit for energy suckers

Usually they tend to circles of people who are engaged in self-knowledge and self-improvement of the individual.

Vampires love to seek out conscious humans as victims.

Spiritual Circles and Healing Meetings are their favorite places.

Why is it so?

Because usually spiritual people and those who embarked on the path of self-knowledge - the most open to others people.

They know how to forgive, let other people close to them.

Spiritual people are less ready and set up for defense and protection from strangers.

This plays into the hands of the vampires.

Don't be nice to him and merciful, and you will close your question on how to protect yourself from energy vampires.

He makes you feel other people have regret for the pain they caused him.

14. Do not feel guilty and let go of resentment for situations related to this leech.

Guilt- this is a good way to take energy for a vampire.

What had to happen happened.

It is entirely your responsibility for what happened. It was you who created this situation and let the vampire near you.

But you don't have to blame yourself for this.

And even more so, you can not feel guilty before him. After all, that's exactly what he's waiting for.

Don't justify yourself to him.

Learn to recognize energy suckers among the crowd, knowing their psychology and behavior.

Let go of resentment and guilt. Don't keep it to yourself.

When you let go of all your anxious thoughts, you will no longer worry about how to get rid of the energy vampire.

What was, was. And this can't be returned.

15. Don't follow his orders, don't let him tell you what to do.

Let him do it himself.

If you work with him in the same firm, and he is the same employee as you, then you can always refuse any of his requests.

For example, tell him: I'm swamped with my work. Do it yourself».

If it is your boss or director who makes a request, then, of course, you need to take a more sober look at the situation and you don’t have to be stubborn.

But always remember that although you respect status, you respect yourself first of all!

16. Don't tell him about your weaknesses.

If a person is an energy vampire, then in order to protect yourself from him, do not tell him about your flaws, fears and weaknesses.

And then he will have fewer opportunities to get close to you, because he will have nothing to put pressure on.

They love to put pressure on your weak points., fears and use it against you.

Don't give up and don't tell him about your weaknesses.

You must know everything about . You must overcome your fears.

17. "Mirror" chip

If he is very arrogant and often makes contact with you, you can respond parody it in a playful way.

For example, his gestures. Just don't be aggressive.

If he whines, complain back to him intentionally.

If he boasts, parody him as a joke.

Use this chip on him and no longer worry about how to protect yourself from the energy vampire.

It's not for nothing that vampires in movies are afraid of mirrors..

He won't like it. And who tried to please him?

18. Sometimes we ourselves suffer from our thoughts and misperceptions and react to it

Often a person himself creates thoughts about a person that impede and create resistance to the correct flow of vital energy in his body.

The other person's action affects you and is perceived in such a way that it interferes with access to your energy source and the normal flow of energy in the body.

Energy can no longer enter our body normally.

All these sensations and the feeling of exhaustion energy is simply a reaction to the presence of a person next to you.

You have such a subjective reaction to this person next to you. That's how you react to it.

The other may not even see or pay attention to it.

19. Mental brick walls or visualization of rays of light around you do not work.

Why sometimes visualizing a person around a bubble of light helps a person?

These are simply thoughts that give resistance to other thoughts that a vampire might invade your personal space.

Visualization It's all the work of our mind.

Working with your thoughts useless.

Work more effectively on your beliefs and perceptions.

So the representation of all these brick walls for protection - it's all temporary and useless.

Don't waste your time on this.

That's all. Now you know everything about how to get rid of an energy vampire at work or in everyday life.

Consciously re-read all these tips and put them into practice.

Each of us is familiar with the state when, after another communication with some people, you feel like a donor after donating blood at a transfusion station - almost bled and squeezed like a lemon - broken, tired and exhausted.

No wonder - most likely, you talked with energy vampire- a person who feeds on someone else's energy and lives off the energy of the surrounding people.

This happens all the time, so you definitely need to know how to protect yourself from energy vampirism.

Who can be an energy vampire?

energy vapirism is a disease that is spreading widely around in the modern world. Its scale resembles an epidemic. Any person from your environment can be an energovapmir - a picky boss, an evil mother-in-law, an ever-complaining neighbor, an ordinary passer-by, and even ... yourself.

Energetic vampire- This is a person with a negative balance of internal energy. When much less energy comes from natural sources than is consumed, an "energy imbalance" occurs and the energy balance is disturbed. And then a person (in most cases unconsciously) begins to replenish the missing energy in the simplest and easiest way - from his neighbor.

To protect yourself from an energy vampire, you must first recognize him. To do this, you need to understand its methods and mechanism of influence on others.

Types of Energy Vampires

Divides energy vampires into 2 types: solar and lunar. Their methods of "drinking vital juices" from those around them are completely opposite. Also, how different are the methods of protection against them.

solar vampire is an aggressive form of energy vampirism. They openly attack their "victim", by any means trying to bring a person out of balance. A jealous husband who suspects his wife for any reason, a grumpy wife who always “saws” her husband, an evil mother-in-law and mother-in-law who teaches her sons-in-law and daughters-in-law to the mind and mind, a picky boss who “beats” his subordinates, an ordinary boor in public transport - belong to categories of solar vampires.

Once attached to its victim, the solar vampire can continue to receive "his portion" for quite a long time. Whenever you negatively think, speak or even remember about him, through the invisible channel “laid” between you at the first contact, a part of your health (biofield, emotions, nervous and mental forces) will go to him.

After such a "session" you are completely de-energized, ready to "collapse" from impotence or burst into tears.

Lunar Vampire - a passive form of energy vapmirism. They "get" those around them with endless complaints, whining or discontent. These are “sticky people” and “energy leeches”. A neighbor who always complains about her health, a friend who demands your sympathy and support, constantly “whimpering” relatives - all these are representatives of lunar vampires.

From the goal - your energy in the form of your attention, your pity, sympathy or compassion. After contact with this type of energy vampire, fatigue sets in, mood drops, you don’t want to do anything, apathy and drowsiness appear.

It should be noted that lunar vampires are more dangerous than solar ones, since a person may develop a psychological dependence on "lunar bloodsuckers" and contacts will become regular. Which in the end can lead to a constant "leakage" of vitality and lead to various diseases.

How to protect yourself from an energy vampire?

You can and should protect yourself from energy vampirism.

The most important thing is to UNDERSTAND and REALIZE that there is a vampire in front of you, and you are his victim. Because already at the moment of Awareness of this fact, you subconsciously build a powerful defense against it.

We have already described the most effective methods of how to protect your energy from external encroachments in our article:

Here I will give only the methods that exist to protect against energy vapmirism (solar and lunar).

• Protect yourself with laughter!

Beneficial and life-giving vibrations of laughter are able to “knock the ground out from under the feet” of any energy thief. Just start laughing in the face of your offender and he will immediately deflate like a New Year's ball! Do not succumb to provocations and, in response to rudeness and rudeness, defend yourself with laughter and a cheerful smile!

• Go away!

Not in every situation you can laugh, you say. If you laugh in the face of a “sunny” boss at work, you can instantly join the ranks of the unemployed 🙂 Here another defense technique will come to the rescue.

At the first sign of an attack, cross your fingers and mentally say: “Get out!”, while inside yourself laugh at some feature of the appearance of your offender. Helps for one-two-three!

• Sorry, I'm busy!

The best weapons against Lunar-type energy vampires are to stay away from them and keep contact to a minimum. As soon as another whiner begins to “vampire” you, refer to your employment. “Sorry, but I don’t have much time, I’m very busy right now!” - do not let amateurs complain for a long time about their "dirty deed". Over time, they will leave you alone and find themselves a "new victim."

• His own weapon!

The existence of energy vampirism has long been denied by anyone. As a rule, a vampire is a weak-willed person with a huge number of complexes. He is sorely lacking his own energy for a full life. Therefore, on a subconscious level, he seeks to take it away from other people. Since the energy vampire is fueled by negative emotions, his actions are aimed at spoiling a person’s mood and provoking a surge of negativity in his direction.

How to protect yourself from an energy vampire at work

Very often, energy vampirism is found in work teams. Therefore, you need to know how to protect yourself from the energy vampire of a colleague or boss.

At this point, the aspen will darken. After this fact is discovered, it is necessary to wash the aspen cross in holy water and after that it can be used again.

Another effective talisman is rock crystal. A stone with a diameter of about 5-7 cm can reliably protect against energy vampires. If you suspect that an unkind person is near you, you should simply touch the natural amulet imperceptibly.

Rite from the vampire boss

If the boss is a vampire, then it is imperative to protect yourself from his influence with the help of a special rite. Evidence of the leader's vampirism is the fact that after a conversation with him, a headache begins and a pressing feeling arises in the chest area.

To put protection, the rite is performed at sunrise.

Turning to the east, you should say the following words:

“I stand, the servant of God (proper name), before you the sun is clear. As you warm the earth with your rays, as you send your grace to all living things, so protect me the servant of God (proper name) from aches, ailments and whining, from slander and the evil eye. I trust in your strength, I ask for protection from unkind people, I conjure Christ God. Amen".

This conspiracy will give confidence and allow you to withstand meetings with the boss in a calm state. As soon as you feel that your soul is restless again, and you feel very tired after work, the ceremony should be repeated.

How to protect your aura and energy forces from a domestic vampire in the family

Sometimes it happens that there are energy vampires in the family. Therefore, the question often arises, what kind of protection to put in these cases. First of all, it should be remembered that energy vampires can draw additional energy not only from people, but also from nature. That is why it is necessary to try to go out into nature as often as possible at any time of the year. With such a campaign, the energy vampires in the family will simply gradually no longer need to be fed from the household. When such a need arises, a family member will take long walks in city parks.

If the vampire is a husband or mother

When a husband is an energy vampire, this absolutely does not mean that he should be divorced. First of all, you need to understand whether he seeks to feed on energy consciously or not. Experts say that 95% of husbands do it on a subconscious level. But if the spouse is a conscious vampire, it is easier to leave him, since it is impossible to remake him.

In another case, you should try to protect yourself from the influence of a loved one on an energy level. First of all, you should never lose your temper, thus responding to the subconscious provocations of your spouse. That is, you need to force yourself to become an “iron lady” who does not show negative emotions.

It is important to fill the house with indoor flowers, they will give the husband the appropriate energy supply. In addition, if the husband is an energy vampire, you need to minimize home time. It is necessary to lead an active lifestyle, as often as possible to be in nature.

Very rarely there are situations when the mother is a vampire. Protecting yourself from energy vampirism in this case is quite difficult. A special amulet will help organize protection. For it, you can use stones according to the sign of the zodiac. Sometimes you can minimize the influence of a vampire mom with a regular pin pinned to clothes in an inconspicuous place.

If vampires are children

Children are very often energy vampires. In this case, it should be understood that, as a rule, this is due to the age factor. The thing is that the child always feels unprotected in the rhythmic modern world, therefore, he seeks protection from adults at the energy level. Growing up, children lose the ability to vampirism. Generally, child protection is not required. You just need to spend more time with your child. It is very important that the child attends various sections and circles, this will allow him to quickly gain confidence in life.

How to Recognize an Energy Vampire: Signs and Behaviors

Energy vampires: conscious and unconscious

How does a quite likeable person become an energy vampire? Basically, these are people who suffer from a number of psychological problems and try to transfer them outside, unconsciously project them onto other people, blaming them for their troubles. However, such unintentional vampirism does not solve their emotional and psychological problems, which aggravates the situation even more.
Unconscious energy vampires focused only on themselves and their problems, they do not notice that their words and actions offend other people. They feel and behave like the “navel of the Earth”. They evaluate each situation only from their own point of view, as well as the actions of all the people who are somehow connected with them. They blame others for their misfortunes. They think like this: everything I do for people is not understood. At the same time, they experience anger, pain and try to compensate for the negative at the expense of others.
Sometimes, energy vampire people with very strong egos don't hesitate to "ride" someone like a tank, while using the needs of others to satisfy their own. At the same time, they can act completely unconsciously, believing that they are 100% right.
There are also conscious energy vampires. The worst option you can find. This is a narcissistic person, he knows that in order to move forward towards his goal, he needs to “steal” energy from the environment. He deliberately uses people who are kind, often naive, with pure intentions and a loving heart. Entangles them in a complex web of emotional dependence and uses, as they say, to the fullest.

How to protect yourself from an energy vampire in the family and at work?

Method 1: Don't be naive

Falling into the trap of an energy vampire is much easier than you think. Because these are usually people from the immediate environment - parents, brothers and sisters, wives, husbands or lovers, close friends and even children. The main danger in such a situation with close people always lies in emotional blackmail. You care about this person, but it becomes more and more difficult to satisfy his needs. You need to stop in time and offer this person to try to solve their problems on their own.

Method 2. Express your dissatisfaction openly

Tell this person honestly and calmly that you are unhappy with him, his words make you uncomfortable. You are not satisfied with his behavior. There is a good chance that after this your relationship will noticeably change for the better. An unconscious vampire may well wonder what he is doing. The conscious one will understand that you have "seen through" it, and there is nothing more to catch here.

Method 3. Calmness, only calmness

Never provoke an energy vampire into a quarrel or hooligan actions. Moderate your ardor, remove emotions and pressure. Don't let him "feed off" from you. Be calm, meet any emotional attacks on his part, at least outwardly indifferent. Do not respond to provocations, extinguish all attempts to “start” you with a stone face and a cold heart.

Method 4: Set Boundaries

Set some mental and even physical boundaries of communication with this person. Do not let him "into your soul", do not give out your home phone number or address, meet only on business, do not let him into your private life.

Method 5. Do not give him a reason to blackmail

Do not provide the energy vampire with any important information about yourself - about your past, dreams, emotional attachments. For example, do not talk about your children, pets, family relationships. Don't show him your flaws. After all, these are precisely those emotionally vulnerable places, pain points, which at any moment a vampire can hit very painfully.

Method 6. Always assess the situation soberly

Be on the lookout, because you know what this person is capable of. Count to 10 before answering him. Weigh your every word - it works great, 100%.

Method 7. Offer to take a joint course of psychological assistance

If you feel that you are not coping with the situation, offer to go to a psychologist together. This will be the best solution for you if the energy vampire is a close person. However, it is necessary that he also voluntarily agree to undergo a course of psychological assistance.

Method 8. Breaking the relationship

The latest and most painful way, but it is the only solution if you are dealing with a very strong energy vampire that causes irreparable damage to your health.
Now you know how to protect yourself from the effects of an energy vampire. Just remember that such a state can be dangerous for the energy vampire himself. Anyone in a difficult psychological situation can become a real problem for others, even you. Therefore, take care of your health and evaluate yourself and your actions soberly, and do not be afraid to correct your mistakes.
