It’s important to be mindful of the company we keep around. Look at your surroundings, who are the people in your life, in your circle? Who do you spend the most time with? What are those people’s habits, patterns, words, thoughts, actions etc… in their own life?

Are they the naysayers ( who always have a BUT to add to everything, who are the first to put out why something won’t work etc…), the complainers ( who always have to complain about something, no matter what) the insecure people,( who try to pull you down to their low self-esteem) the blamers (who blame everyone & everything for their problems without ever taking any responsibility for their roles) The ones who like to guilt you, to get what they want or talk you out of what you want. The drama lovers, who always have some sort of drama playing out in their lives, you can always count on them to have drama ( they usually live for it)  the Gossipers,  on & on the list of negative people goes… As the true expression says: “Misery loves company” it sure does!

All these types of  ”vampires” have been unable to find the light within long enough to sustain themselves & produce their own energy. They go around feeding off of others in order to fill whatever void they are unwilling to look at. Some of them are unaware of what they are doing? Others know but choose to ignore what they know.

Think about your relationships & how they make you feel…

Do they uplift you, do you feel energized when you connect with this person or group? Or do you feel mentally & emotionally drained?

Do you feel that you can be completely transparent with them or do you feel guarded because you have fear of being judge by them? Does this person add value to your life or did they take more from you than they give?

I do understand that there will be those people in our lives that we just can’t “let go” & don’t want to let go of. It may be a close family member, an old dear friend who you love, your boss, perhaps even your husband or wife… Yet you can still learn to set  certain boundaries that will help you manage your space  in a way where your energy isn’t directly affected by them.

If you know your going to interact with one of these “vampires” ahead of time you can use some of these tools to help: 

• Visualize a while & purple protective light around. If you believe in Angels call on them to help you enforce this light energy around your shield.
• You can also use your breath as a tool to help you manage. Just breath in & exhale deeply three times & let it go. Become aware of your breath, this should help you get centered & in tune.
• It’s all about MINDSET,  you can teach yourself NOT to react on impulse. I know it can be hard at times (because some people are very good at knowing exactly what buttons to push to get rise out of us). Yet your job is to get yourself in mindset that won’t allow you to go there. You are making a conscious choice to not allow them to take you there. By not reacting, try to change the focus of the situation but if you see that it’s still not getting light then simply remove yourself for a moment from the situation or person.
• Spiritual baths can be used as tool to cleanse yourself & remove residues.
• Spending time in nature connecting with trees & the ground. This will help you get grounded & release any toxicity that you have picked up.

These are just a few tools you could use to protect your energy space from those you can’t really clear out of your life completely… Remember nothing is more important than YOU. Look to those who give you an even exchange of energy, who uplift you and recharge you… Otherwise if you are only surrounded by those who take from you, your most likely to become depleted yourself & fall into their patterns. And before you know it, you’ve become an energy vampire trying to sustain yourself.

Which is why doing the  inner work is so crucial in sustaining ourselves mentally,emotionally, physically & spiritually through it will can access & draw from our infinite inner well…

Love & Light
