Here's a yogi method for recharging. "If you feel the vital energy in you is at a low ebb and that you need to store up a new supply quickly the best plan is to place the feet close together and the lock the fingers of both hands in any way that seems most the most comfortable. This creates a closed circuit as it were and prevents any escape of prana(life force energy) through the extremities. Then breath rhythmically a few times and you will feel the effects of recharging."

Swishing water around the mouth before swallowing helps absorb more prana from the water faster.

I suppose it would be good to add something positive after these previous posts. An energy vampire can be easily spotted by a cracked smile. Many flicker between cracked energy sucking smile and the plump grateful smile or just a restful face, although some have become so ingrained that the cracks have become wrinkles and what was their attempt and acquiring energy has wound up weakening them and those they took from. When I became aware of this it would annoy me to know what they were doing but I realized that it stems from a weakened emotional state and being annoyed by them only increases that. Now I just send psychic messages informing of what their doing and what is healthier to be doing. I've tried explaining it directly once, and it was not well received(like telling a smoker what smoking does, just sending encouraging energies toward healthier choices seems to work best). Sending psychic vibes seems to work, although it is a process, as there is much dense energy to be worked through, and the hard work of reversing a bad habit.

The other inner conflict I've had around this issue is limiting contact with energy vampires. One because it's such a high fraction that do this to some degree, and that a lot of people with to be limiting contact with and a lot of them are very good people in many regards. Two because the cause tend to be emotional neediness, which part of healing is healthy relations with others. This is part of the paradox of the whole aberrant pattern. Like how trying to save time ends up wasting it, trying take energy ends up driving away the energy that could be given. If one is low on energy and another has plenty, out of empathy the one with plenty may give some energy away. If the one with plenty sees the one low on energy looking for some to take, then it will seek to keep it's energies safe from being taken as a priority over giving to help, as there is no use in the healthy one having it's energy taken and becoming another in a weakened state.

I get the idea no none wants to deal with this issue. It must stem from failure to receive, which must have something to do with male dominance, and the belief that males and females are different, when each contain both polarities and are simply of different constitution. A lack of balance between the two polarities compromising ones ability to receive.

It seems energy vampires don't like the smell of garlic.

I'm an empathic vampire, also elemental, and i think pretty unconsciously psychic except in the last few years I've learned to control that aspect of it.

Are you meaning to make us sound so awful or is this just a defense mechanism?

Do you have something against us.

It's good motivation to maintain purity so I can keep my essence safe. But really learn how to recieve. Taking causes all kinds of imabalances which cause various problems.

I mean to bring awreness to the reality of the effect that taking energy has. I know of three energy vampires whose love partners have died.
