Stopping Energy Vampires

There is this gal at work I will call Joan whom I do not enjoy working with. She often has problems with customers. She is extremely needy and always seems to want help with some issue or another--especially when you are busy trying to deal with an issue of your own. My least favorite thing about her is when she makes her own purchases. I joke around about sales associates being the worst customers because we make each other jump through every hoop known to man in order to get the best deals. Not only does she do this when making a purchase, but she is indecisive and changes her mind constantly, she takes advantage of whichever associate is helping her, and she tries to negotiate things that are non-negotiable. Unfortunately, when I am working she often waits for me to finish whatever customer I am working with so I can help her. I believe it is because I have more patience and strength than the average person and do not blow up at her.

Joan is an energy vampire. I realized early on that what repels me about her is how drained I always feel after I have spent time in her company. I am not the only person who feels this way about her. All of my coworkers run away when she comes around for just the sort of reasons I described above.

Unfortunately, there are more Joans in the world than I care to admit. They come in all shapes and sizes, and they all leave you feeling drained and empty. The thing is, you don't have to let them take what they want. You can still be nice to them while defending yourself and standing your ground.

One of the first things you can do is ask for spiritual protection from energy vampires. You can begin your day asking to be protected from the potential drain. That said, there are some who are particularly difficult to encounter. When you notice feeling depleted, that is the time to silently ask your angels as well as Archangel Michael, who is in charge of protection, to act as shields.

Another thing you can do is stand your ground. As an empath, I do not enjoy confrontations. However, honesty about how you feel can be helpful in these situations. For example, employees where I work get a better discount depending on how they pay. Store gift cards give you the maximum discount, and Joan likes to use them. However, she often does not have enough money on the gift card when making her purchase. She expects you to put more money on her gift card on a different register so she can proceed with her purchase--which is a big "no-no" and can get the associate performing the transaction in trouble. I had to point blank tell her we were all getting in trouble because of her and that we were not going to do it.

Most of us avoid energy vampires because of the havoc they wreak on our lives. Understand that you do have power when interacting with one is unavoidable. You can protect yourself and even go on the offensive if necessary. You should not feel guilty for acting harshly if it is required to keep yourself safe. Understand you might be one of those occasions where karma is biting them back and treat yourself with kindness. You do have the power to keep your own personal energy safe.

Asking For Protection

Lately, I have felt the need to ask for extra protection. The struggle between light and dark has been fierce. I can feel the heaviness of it, especially in my quiet meditation time. I can see the results in the world around me. Both stories in the news and the fighting I see going on in people around me are physical manifestations of these conditions. At times like this we must all be intentional about protecting and defending the light that surrounds us so the darkness has no stronghold.

In the spiritual realms, darkness and light seek each other out in order to maintain balance. This is the natural order of things and how all things work together for good. However, the world has not seen this balance for a very long time. This is because those who rely on the darkness for the sake of power also better understand how the spiritual world works and how it influences the physical world. They have done what they can to hide this knowledge from the light side of things in order to maintain control.

Those who wield darkness for the sake of power are very intentional in their actions. They use ritual and magic to bring powerful darkness to the physical realms. This darkness is sent to any light it sees in order to suppress and overwhelm it so it has no real effect in the world. This is why we often feel like we are doing what we came here to do but are getting nowhere in our mission.

Protecting self, those you love, and your mission in life also needs to be intentional. Begin each day in prayer and meditation, asking specifically for the protectors of light to be with you and those you love. There is really no right or wrong way to do it. Simply ask your heart to bring to mind all those things that need protection. Requests can be personal or even for the world at large.

The apostle Paul has some advice that runs along similar lines:

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.                                                                                    (Ephesians 6:10-18 NIV)

The darkness is intentional in attempting to gain control. Understand that being intentional about your protection is key to helping yourself effectively complete your life's purpose.

Meditation To Overcome Oppression

There has been a great feeling of heaviness during the past month. While I attribute some of it to the usual tug-and-pull of the Christmas holidays (and the often all-consuming urge to spend and acquire), I believe there is much more to it than that. The world has begun waking up in degrees not known for thousands of years. To counteract this awakening, dark ritual magic is being used to send darkness to anything that is light. If you are a lightworker or lightwarrior, you have felt the heaviness. It is time to intentionally break down the chains of this oppression and free yourself and others.

Sit comfortably in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Close your eyes and allow the muscles of your body to relax. Focus several minutes on your breathing by breathing in through your nose, out through your mouth. As you expel breath, make sure you concentrate on expelling any tension, stress, sadness or anger your body has been holding on to. As you breathe in, allow your body to bring in light, love, peace, and joy. Do this breathing until you feel the negativity has been removed and your being feels full of light.

Once this is accomplished, it is time to focus on protection. Envision an impervious white light surrounding you, allowing in strength and positivity while protecting you from anything that wishes to harm. Now is the time to ask for additional strength and protection from your guardian angels. Ask them to help you discern which energies you should allow in and which are better left alone. You may also ask more specific help from Archangel Michael, the angel in charge of protection, who can send additional warrior angels to guard and protect you when it is warranted. Asking for help is important as there are many circumstances where angels are not allowed to interfere unless specifically asked. Feel the shift of energy as your light/spirit body is allowed to shine without interference. Feel the light energy that is now allowed to pass to you, strengthening you.

As you sit in this protected space, allow your spirit body to expand. Understand this expansion you now feel is the unshackling of your spirit. Allow your heart to connect to Oneness, where everything exists and nothing is judged. This is the place you can now ask questions and receive answers--particularly about what you should do next in your activities to bring healing and wholeness to the planet. You are protected and safe, and the answers you need are now free to flow to you.

Any time you feel heaviness, you should take the time to unburden yourself by connecting to your heart in a protected state. You will gain the strength you need to throw off the oppression and be free to do the work you were called to do.

The Power Of The Full Moon

As I sat in the early morning hours of Christmas yesterday, I had some amazing clarity. While it might seem as though it was due to the fact that the usual pre-Christmas frenzy was over, there is a lot more to it than that. Christmas 2015 happened to fall on a full moon. This hasn't happened since 1977 and won't happen again until 2034. Why is this significant? There is power that becomes available during a full moon that is not as strong at other times.

From ancient times, rituals and holidays were almost always performed at the full moon. The Passover of Judism is held on the full moon. In India, the Holy Festival or Guru Purnima is also on the full moon. Originally even Easter was celebrated on the full moon until the Council of Nicaea dictated otherwise. Wiccans hold rituals at the full moon. The full moon is also the time satanists hold their events. None of this is coincidence.

Back in the day when I worked with emotionally disturbed children I would notice more behavior problems on the days that coincided with the full moon. My husband, who was a cop at that time, got a lot more calls to have people committed to the mental hospital on those occasions as well. It was as if the moon was calling them to bring their problems to the surface so they could be dealt with.

As an intuitive, there is definitely much more clarity on the full moon. Putting a question out into the Universe at this time brings almost instantaneous results. It's as though the multitude of distracts and diversions that occur during other phases of the moon are pushed to the side as the full lunar light is able to shine through the muck.

Begin to pay attention to the appearance of the full moon. Focus on the energies that surround you as you take the time to meditate. Ask for extra spiritual protections at this time as people can become more susceptible to darkness. You do not want to absorb too much energy that is outside yourself.

There is power available in the full moon. Learn to harness its energy and allow it to assist you in coming to greater awareness as you follow your divine purpose and BE who you were meant to be in the world.

Protecting Self

Just as there are dark entities, there are entities of light. Many of us refer to them as angels, and their holy purpose is to guard us and assist us in maintaining the light. In recent years I have been more inclined to ignore what I know as I adjusted my beliefs according to what truths come my way. Today, more than ever before, I understand the need to call on these mighty entities for help.

Thomas Blackshear, Watchers In the Night

Law of attraction gurus will tell you that you will attract what you think about. While I believe it is important to focus on the changes you want to see in the world, ignoring darkness will not overcome it, will not make it go away.

Those who are truly light beings will get squashed by the darkness if they do not ask for protection (and ask on a regular basis). The darkness is literally out to obliterate the light. There are actual rituals and spells that are performed by humans who have been taken over by the darkness that hold very real power over those who try to express the light.

This is why it feels like you take two steps forward, four steps backward, every time you do something to help yourself and others. Whenever serious light breaks through, dark entities are called to smother and put it out.

Take the time every day to make sure you have the protection of angels. This will take care of your emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. You should be aware that other steps need to be taken to protect the physical body. Food and pure water are particularly important here. Also, it is important to stay away from activities that can put holes in your aura (your protective light body), such as drugs, drunkenness, and promiscuous sex with people who carry dark entities.

If you desire to be a force for light in the world, protecting yourself from the evils that attack is a necessary part of life. Know that help is always available to you in the darkest of situations, but you have to consciously ask for it.

Protecting The Spiritual Self

There are many things we do every day to protect ourselves from potential harm--things we do so frequently we no longer have to think about doing them. We watch out for erratic drivers when we are on the road. We try to stay out of high crime areas we know to be unsafe. We even avoid people we know we could potentially fight or argue with to stay out of harm's way. We do these things because our experiences and our five senses have helped us understand the dangers of each. The thing is, these actions help protect our physical bodies, but what can we do to protect our spiritual bodies?Connecting to our intuitive selves allows us to explore a whole new world of self protection.

Darkness and problems exist on many levels. The bible (which I reference mainly because I was brought up Christian) hints at the subject:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12 KJV)

There are times when unseen entities seek entrance into our human minds and bodies. Certain actions we take can create holes in our physical and spiritual selves that allow these outside influences to come in and take over.

Understand there are numerous actions we can take with our physical bodies that can harm our spiritual selves. For example, using many different types of drugs (not just illegal) can create openings and allow this darkness in. Becoming drunk (especially to the point of passing out) can have this same effect. Having sex with people whose energy frequency is low and who have been infiltrated by these dark entities makes us vulnerable to these same dark energies because sex is a high-powered energy exchange. Even activities that involve excessive emotions, like pride and anger, can open you up to like-minded spiritual energies.

What can you do to protect yourself? Connect to the divine within your own heart and ask whether or not the action you are contemplating will open you up to harmful energies. Simple enough, but it does require time connecting. The more time you spend in connection, the easier it will be for you to determine the answers.

Protecting your spiritual self is a matter of conscious choice. Understand that, in this unconscious world, your actions do matter. Choose wisely.

Asking For Protection

I feel pressed this morning to add a word of caution on this journey we're taking: set the intention of asking for protection, preferably both when you awake in the mornings and just before you go to sleep at night. (Note you are not limited to these two times, but can ask for extra protection anytime you feel the need.)

In this world of energies, there are both positive and negative energies. Know there are energies that like to feed off other energies in vampire-like ways! In order to keep and maintain the positive energy you have, it is important for you to protect it!

Know there is no right or wrong way to do this. The most important part is for you to set the intention to draw protective energies to yourself. If you see these energies as angels and demons, ask the angels to enfold you in their protective wings and keep the demons away. If you view energies as light or darkness, envision a circle of light surrounding you, allowing all light energies in but keeping all dark energies at bay. (Some of my friends like to see this light as a protective violet colored light. Go with whatever works for you.) The whole point is, set the intention to be protected in all ways physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Intention is what sets the whole energy chain in motion.

The times (and energies) are changing rapidly. It is important to protect what you have so you do not need to make it all up at some later time. Your gifts and talents are needed in the world today!!!

Protect what you have, and ask for the extra protection you need to keep your energy on the higher vibrating path!!!
