I’ve heard that Energy Vampires are really extremely negative people. A mentor once reminded me that as I use personal development as a service to many, there are those who practice forms of personal mastery to only help themselves. They force others into servitude. They literally “suck” or sap your life energy leaving their “victims” exhausted and feeling really unhappy or even depressed. Here’s my encounter with a couple today…
Energy Vampire Restaurant

Energy Vampire
Energy Vampires are real (scream)! There they were lurking in this restaurant. On this very hungry Canada Day holiday afternoon, my buddies and I trouped in to get some bites of fast Chinese food. We love eating here after personal growth sessons.
Unfortunately, it took such a long time to fill our order this afternoon. And it was some time before I realized it, but something or someone was feasting on us. After about fifteen minutes, we were all feeling absolutely exhausted and grumpy. After the first few bites of food, a young lady was suddenly nauseated.
In a corner sat a middle aged couple, sad and angry looking. They appeared to be in some kind of meditative semi-trance looking at these fresh, lively ladies who had just walked in. We all kept looking at them and felt extremely sorry for them. They simply became our very negative and sorrowful conversation. Creepy. What gives?
One of my mentors, once told me that with years of mental development in various modalities of personal development, one’s mental discipline is much heightened. That is a part of personal mastery. I most certainly felt that my mental acuity was telling me something was awry. There’s that voice telling me to high-tail it! Was this the voice of the soul of me?
I have been tutoring these buddies of mine for some time about self growth. I became their ‘teacher’ once again and shook them all out of their trance-like state and packed the food.They followed my lead unhesitatingly.
Nature’s Rejuvenating Positive Energy
Once outside, one and all, we took in several deep breaths as though we had just been asphixiated. The fresh air is so sweet. The bright sunshine simply blew away the dark cobwebs from our minds. But our legs were still shaking like we had just sprinted several kilometers. Adrenaline was coursing through our blood, hearts thumping.
My mentor’s teachings suddenly went into overdrive and I took the troupe for a walk. They all readily agreed. It’s amazing how quickly mother nature can restore our well being. We very quickly felt so lively and happy again. It’s like the darkness receding before a very bright light. We had a wonderful and mostly hilarious picnic in the nearby park.
Extremely Negative People are Energy Vampires
They lurk in the darkness of the mind and strike when you least expect it. They will suck the positive energy out of you before you even know what is eating you. Well, draining your energy really.
Recalling the events of today, I can say of my experience that some energy vampires are truly negative people. In the restaurant the couple were exceptionally creepy. They must have such a powerful negative energy that literally sucks energy out of people nearby.
We all have people in our lives who are just so negative that they seem to just drain all of the positive energy the moment they or we walk in a room. I’m sure you know or have experienced drama queens or kings and the grouch who puts a damper on everything. What about those who think they are so omnipotent they swamp you very being and always come away exhausted?
You know these people who would say something like, “Oh, that will never work,” or “You’ll fail for sure.” And they go on and on and on about failure so tiresomely, you want to either throttle them or run away screaming.
The Best Defense is Change of Energy
If you’re scared, no worries. Of course you can always put some distance between you and him or her. If that doesn’t work, there other ways to deal with them. You can overcome every energy vampire situation.
The best defense is of course a more powerful rejuvenating energy. You’ll want to change your energy. We get that from mother nature. The sun is great. Go for a walk. Change your physiology. Sing your favourite song. Dance. Have fun with friends. Train and develop your personal mastery of living well.
My mentor on this subject has even told me of even more powerful people whose life is based on energy sucking methods to control and gain life energy…but that is another topic altogether. He has demonstrated to me that pure, rejuvenating, natural energy with your very own will, can overcome the most powerful of these energy vampires.
