Do you have an energy vampire in your life? Someone who just drains you when you're around them? It could be at work. It could be at home. It could be in your family. It could be a friend. Well, I am going to teach you exactly how you can protect yourself from these energy vampires, so that you don't wind up drained or taking on any negative energy that doesn't belong to you.
We've all encountered them at some point, an energy vampire, especially if you are an empath or an empathic sensitive person, and you tend to take on energy, or you tend to be very compassionate. These people will prey on that energy and literally feed off you, like a vampire sucking you dry, where you feel utterly exhausted after being with them—mentally, physically, emotionally. You might even take on some of that negativity that they might be putting out there. But you can protect yourself from this. There are amazing spiritual tools that you can use to assist you.
The first spiritual tool that you can use to assist you is one of my favorites, and it is crystals and gemstones. There are so many crystals and gemstones that come from the earth energy that have different meanings, spiritual purposes, and there are those for protection. Now, there's a lot of them; any type of black stone is usually very good for protection, but my favorite when it comes to energy vampires is black tourmaline. Black tourmaline actually will take on the energy for you and protect you and shield you from taking on energy from someone else or from allowing someone to drain your energy. So you can carry this stone with you—a small tumbled stone. You can wear it as a necklace, ring, earrings, bracelet—setting the intention, programming that crystal to protect your energy, to keep you from taking on energy that doesn't belong to you, to absorb it on your behalf, and also to keep you from being drained and giving too much energy out. I love black tourmaline for that purpose, and I highly recommend it. If you are using it, you want to cleanse it, because remember it's taking on the energy on your behalf, so you do want to cleanse it periodically. You can use any type of smoke clearing, whether it's Palo Santo, wood sage, frankincense; you can use incense; you can use sprays; and you can use selenite crystals, which clear the energy of other crystals but does not take any energy on.
Speaking of clearing energy, the second thing you can do to protect yourself from energy vampires is clear your own energy after being with them. Now, I like to clear my energy every night, even though I protect my energy during the day. I still like to just clear my energy at night of any energy that I might have taken on, any negativity within me that has creeped up. I just like to clear it, and there are so many different ways you can clear your energy, but especially after being with a person who you know drains you, who you know is an energy vampire. So one of my favorites is a selenite wand. You can get, um, a small piece of selenite in a wand form; you can get a larger one; you can get a sphere—whatever you want. And I take that wand and I literally run it around my aura, and I just do it in sweeping, combing motions, and as I'm doing it, I'm just literally saying to myself, "Clearing any energy that doesn't belong to me; clearing any negative energy; reconnecting with my higher self." You can use a salt scrub in the shower; you can take an Epsom salt bath; you can use a spray; you can sage and smoke yourself—anything that you want. But be sure to cleanse your energy, because you don't want to be holding on, and you also, if you do happen to get drained, you do want to rebalance and restore yourself. So clearing your energy is key when you are around these people, especially if it's something you can't control, like it's someone you work with. Which, by the way, if that's the case, I would have selenite at my desk as well as black tourmaline, and anytime I'm in contact with that person, I would be clearing my energy and I would be protecting my energy with that tourmaline.
Number three: I talked about protecting your energy, and there's a lot of ways that we can protect our energy. One of my favorites that is super simple and actually works comes from an amazing Energy Medicine teacher and bestselling author, Donna Eden, and she calls it the zip up. I will link below to her talking about it in a video, but basically what the zip up is is you're protecting your energy. I've actually seen this demonstrated with people who do muscle testing, where they would have somebody look at them almost like in a negative way, and you would muscle test them, and their and their arm would go down and they would be weak. They did this exercise, and then the person would do the same thing, and their energy was strong, meaning they were actually protected from it. So how do you do it? Basically, the zip up runs kind of from your pelvic bone up to your bottom lip, and it goes through all of the chakras, and it also goes through the central meridian of your body, so energetically you're protecting yourself. So what you do is you pretend you have a zipper and you have a key that can lock that zipper, and you're going to start at your pelvic bone and you're just going to go up to your bottom lip and lock it. You're going to do it a second time, running up to the bottom lip, locking it, and then you're going to do it a third time, running up to the bottom lip and locking it, and then throw away the key. I know if you've never heard of this, you might think it is cuckoo. A lot of things that I teach might sound cuckoo, but they work, and this is energy, and it works, and it takes nothing to try it. So try the zip up for protection.
The fourth thing for protection is actually calling in higher help to protect you. I do this every day without fail. In fact, below you can get, for free, a PDF of my personal prayer and commandments to the universe, directions to the universe and to my higher self for protection. Every day I created this for myself; I use it for myself every day. And so if you're looking for protection, whether you're going to be in contact with an energy vampire or not, this can help you, and you can get that prayer and direction free below. I highly recommend trying it; it has worked wonders in my life since I started using it, because I am also very empathic and sensitive to the energy around me. So that's another option for protection for you.
So there are things we can do when we are sort of forced to be around people who we deem as draining or as energy vampires. There are ways that we can protect our energy, and everything that I gave to you is very simple, is very easy, and does not take a lot of time. Everything I teach is simple spiritual tools that we can do, that we can use, and that are easy enough that we actually will use them. So try all of these, see what you think, see if you notice a difference, see if you feel a difference just in your everyday life, but especially when you're around those people that you are deeming as energy vampires. Leave a comment below; let me know if you've tried any of these techniques. If you do something else, leave that comment below as well. I always love to hear what other people are doing, and I will see you in the next video.
