Let's talk about Energy Vampires. 🧛♂️
You don’t have to believe in woo woo stuff to know that Energy Vampirism is real and understand how it works.
Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transmuted.
Humans are not outside this law. We, too, are energy. And we carry certain frequencies with us.
Every time we have an interaction with another human being, whether it’s physical touch, a conversation, making eye contact on the subway, a text message or email, or even watching someone on a screen, there is an exchange of energy.
Have you ever noticed that after talking to or being around a certain person you consistently feel either uplifted or drained? That’s caused by whether that person is either fairly exchanging energy with you (balanced - people can charge each other like a battery), or siphoning energy from you (unbalanced).
Yes, there are some people who know how to do this and do it intentionally. But most Energy Vampires probably don’t even realize they are one. (There's actually a lot of subtle witchcraft and spell work people unwittingly engage in without realizing, but that's a topic for another day.)
Energy Vampires are drawn to social media, and I typically block or mute the ones I come across. You guys should see how extensive my mute list is. 😂 It’s nothing personal for the most part, some of them are people I actually kind of like or think are nice, but they don’t realize how exhausting their energy is. Blocking, muting, and setting boundaries is merely a reflection of something I’ve learned over the years to protect myself, and it’s served me well.
I always find it a bit amusing when people boast about being blocked by someone as if it’s some kind of scalp they’ve collected. Whether the person who blocked you is an asshole or not, you’ve only proven you have no chill and made yourself too obvious. It’s the difference between being a sniper and an idiot firing off their gun on the 4th of July and getting arrested.
Another reason it's important to understand Energy Vampirism is so we can keep ourselves in check. Like I said, most people who do it have no concept of it and don’t even realize they do it.
Unknowingly taking in a bunch of energy might sound like a good thing, but not all energy is the same. I don’t have a perfect term for it, but think of it as “dirty” energy, you don’t always know where it’s been or what it’s carrying. It’s kind of like going around making out with everyone you meet. You could be picking up energetic lice and spiritual mouth herpes.
Absorbing a bunch of unclean energy can have a detrimental impact on your health; physically, mentally and spiritually.
I recommend paying more attention to your energy levels and how you feel every time you have an exchange with other people, and use those observations to set boundaries and protect yourself where you can. 🩷
