How do you protect yourself from people who drain your energy?

Question on Healing:
How do you protect yourself from psychic vampires?

Healing Facilitation Response:
I used to believe in psychic vampires. I do not believe in them anymore. I believe certain people abide at frequencies of resistance to self-evolvement that keep them needing the energy of those around them to feel alive. When those people, whom some would call “psychic vampires” find a resonant frequency in another, they partner with that other person in a relationship that feeds both, though it feels as if one is being victimized and their energy drained.

Without agreement, made either in conscious on unconcsious awareness, in this lifetime or in any other you may have shared in the past, the psychic vampire is powerless.

How do we agree? By deciding to be a rescuer or being told and believing that we are responsible for the wellfare of others, even if it means we must suffer and sacrifice. Some unconsciouly adapt a position as a savior of the world because they were the rescuer or savior in their own family unit.

Another way the drainers of energy partner with us is when we involve ourselves, on an ego level, with an expectation of results. If we feel that our guidance, wisdom, help or support will result in a transformative shift, and that doesn’t happen, we may be so attached to that happening that we keep feeding into the situation with our own personal energy.

It’s a sure bet that you are participating in some way, conscious or unconscious, or a psychic vampire frequency can have no effect on your field.

At various times in my life, I’ve held belief systems that said I must suffer for the good of another; I must sacrifice for the good of the other. It was a challenging journey toward understanding that what I was offering was not suffering or sacrifice but self-righteous taking on of what was not mine to carry.

The way that I learned to adjust my own frequency above the bandwidth of a psychic vampire was to open more and more to Godforce energy in my own field, settle down deeply into my own skin and path, and focus on daily work that would keep me grounded, centered, and available to Higher guidance more and more. As my own field strengthened, the one who would seek to drain energy could not find resonance and so did not even enter my life unless they were at a point where they wished to stop living on the energy of others.

I do not consider myself to have mastered this, or any other, spiritual discipline. I still struggle with keeping my own frequency above the frequency of pity disquised as compassion, obligation disquised as service and shame disquised as responding to conscience.
