Energy Vampires

As an empath, energy vampires are a hot topic of conversation. In a nutshell, an energy vampire is someone who (usually) subconsciously sucks the energy right out of you.

As an unaware empath and intuitive, these instances would feel so overwhelming and out of control. I would take on someone else's stuff and process it for them and wear their trauma like a shroud over my energy. It is horrible. My body can get severely affected with migraines, anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues if I don't cut energetic cords and ground myself.

For a long time I would feel like this was their fault for doing it to me.

"Oh I don't want to hang out with that person, they are so draining. They are an energy vampire and it sucks the life out of me."

However as I've developed into things, and understand the energy dynamics more, it it important to realize that you are responsible for your energy. If you are feeling drained by someone, it is because you do not have the boundaries in place to effectively protect yourself and your energy.

It can be a hard pill to swallow.

It was for me.

What do you mean I'm drained because of my own lack of boundaries? Situations and people happen for us not just to us. What is this person reflecting to you that awareness can be brought to?

I'm still a work in progress. We all are. No one has the answers and if you think you do, then you're not listening. As targets are always moving you see. The questions are never the same so the answer will never be the same.

The soul journey is a process. It's not a destination. There is no monumental mountain top to climb you see. It's just a mountain range. With hills and valleys; dips and crests; ebbing and flowing as we navigate through.

All this to say. YOU are responsible for your own energy. Whether it is high or low, full or drained. If it is high vibrational - amazing! If it is low that day, what is the cause? Is it something you can change with meditation, boundaries, or some energy work?

The answer is always inside you.

Sending you so much love.
