Energy Vamps|Protect Your Energy II

October 26, 2014 by hellnotesforbeauty | Leave a Comment

Energy vampires come in all forms, read my first post about it here to learn more.  The framework of an energy vamp is very varied.  They mold perfectly and subsist in toxic relationships and vicious cycles of ruination among the people they interact with daily.  Ultimately, it is up to you to pay attention to the signs they give off and begin to notice the shift in your energy when you’re around these types of people.  When at the crux of life, take time to attain a centered and balanced connection with yourself.  Letting go of attachments can help you realize that self discovery begins with counting on yourself for the right answers.  Self realization forces you to begin to shed your pseudo-identity and start the decluttering process of eliminating toxic relationships and unnecessary negativity.

You begin to realize that a lot of people around you are there to keep you from seeing the real you.  The truth of the matter is that if they are continually stuck in a stagnant state of being, it isn’t in their best interest for you to ascend and become a better person.  There are many reasons why you evolve and often time may outgrow friends, relationships etc. as a result.

Below are some tips I try to incorporate into my daily life and use to help me discern people and situations.  It’s all within context and balance.  Being aware and conscious of the people around you does not mean to be distrustful and paranoid of others.  On the contrary, its the opportunity for you to be open to others, to not only help you but themselves too.  By not feeding into a friend’s negativity can perhaps help that person realize that the energy they’re vibrating with is not conducive to your relationship.  One of you have to be the better of the half and address destructive tendencies.

Intuition

Intuition is key. Often time we tend to ignore our “gut” feelings or the thoughts that crosses our mind around certain people or situations.  Headaches and feeling drained can be signs you’re dealing with a person who is feeding off your energy.  Cultivating self trust, love is crucial to keeping these type of people at bay.  Often time our energy fields are depleted or corrupted and energy vamps can feel the vulnerability from a mile away.

I use Amethyst to help strengthen my intuition and energy overall.  It helps center you and clears your mind to see through the distractions.

When you deviate from your  inner core you end up battling conflicting thoughts and doubt which are usually rooted from constant reliance on the approval or opinions of others.  Believing in yourself is the first step to developing intuition as it will help you distinguish from those who are truly there to help you and those that are just around to see what’s not so good with you.

Cleanse

Energy cleansing can be done in many ways.  Cleansing your thoughts of doubt, fear and anxiety is important to keeping a state of tranquility.  Cleansing can also be in the form of cleaning house per se of things, people and relationships that no longer serve you.  Check this post out on some common household items you can use to cleanse your energy and cipher.

Meditation

I’ve been getting the hang of meditation for these past couple of years and although it’s not something I do daily or have regimented, I’m always aware to make sure I make time to be alone with my thoughts frequently.  This allows me at least twice a week, to not only consider valuable advice people or the universe may give me, it also allows me to filter out the noise and make effective decisions for myself.  When you feel yourself going at a fast pace or too many opinions running rampant it’s best to meditate on what it is you’re going through.

Take a moment, turn off your phone and have a moment, 5 minutes, time it if you have to, but be conscious of who you are and what your voice is trying to tell you.

Some people like to meditate on objects but I find that I prefer to meditate on my breathing.  I prefer this method because I’m able to notice tense, anxious and nervous energy throughout my body.  I tend to have a lot of anxious energy in my shoulders so when I meditate on my breath, I feel how all those points begin to release.  Sitting up and breathing out, I feel bones crack and muscles relax.  My mind drifts of course but I refocus and I feel that ease over my body. So I chase that feeling when meditating and leave the mundane in the fog.  Its a sweet escape that only requires a few quiet moments.

Disengage and Visualize

Don’t feed into negativity.  It’s what feeds the never ending cycle of self destruction. Energy vamps do not consider you or themselves for that matter. Vampires are constantly on the edge looking for a reaction from you from a negative stand point.  As the saying goes “killing them with kindness” can drive people to misery.  Ignoring and simply releasing people from your life without judgement is the key as it is their main purpose, to feed off your reactions.

Visualize where you want to be and see yourself in your mind’s eye.  See yourself with the people who share your same goals and who have their own thing going on which helps build upon your endeavors.

Summer Skin Prep Dry Bushing is one of my favori Summer Skin Prep 

Dry Bushing is one of my favorite skin care routines and not only is it topically beneficial to remove dead skin, reveal soft skin, and treat cellulite, but also has many health benefits overall.  One of the most important health benefits of dry brushing is the ability to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues and organs that fights infections, bacteria in the blood and other toxins and is a essential part of the immune system which supports the body's defense against viruses, bacteria, infections and supports the body's natural detoxification processes. The Lymphatic system consists of Lymph fluid which is a water like substance made of white blood cells, among other immune fighting cells that protect against bacteria and infections in the blood.

One of the most efficient ways to detox is through the skin and dry brushing stimulates blood circulation which is needed for proper detoxification. Another way to stimulate the lymphatic system is by sweating with some form of physical exercise since the lymphatic system has no central pump to move the fluid through the network as efficiently. So regular exercise and stimulating techniques like dry brushing and massages help the body maintain strength and balance to support the immune system.

I dry brush 2-3 times a week or every other day with a natural bristle brush you can find at most holistic wellness stores and sites near you. 

All you need is 5 minutes before you shower for smooth soft skin with the added health benefits.

How to Dry Brush 
Start at the soles of your feet and brush upward to the stomach, toward the heart.

For the stomach, work in a clockwise direction.

Use firm, small strokes upward, or work in a circular motion.

When you get up to your upper body, start at your hands, up to your arms toward the heart.

Lightly and delicately brush your chest area toward the heart.

Make sure your motions are slow and gentle so you don't tear, scratch or irritate the skin.

You can learn more about dry brushing at the blog. Link in bio ✨

Self Initiation The word "initiate" simply means Self Initiation

The word "initiate" simply means to start.  The moment you start to search for truth in any way, shape or form, you have actually started on your path of initiation. From then on, your initiation deepens in direct proportion to your efforts. Remember, input=output. There are many stages in any person's spiritual path. Each experience in a person's life journey is an initiation in itself, as certain realizations are made. Again, these are personal realizations and are dictated by your own progress and level of advancement. These, levels, have nothing to do with with the grades and titles adopted by "tribes", "covens", "spiritual house". An initiate advances by becoming aware. -Phillip Cooper

It is very important to build a personal relationship and foundation with the concept of what "spirituality" means to you.  Spirituality does not mean you have to be subordinate to anything or anyone outside of you. It does not mean that if you interact with your spirit guides or spiritual gifts that you will be "cursed" for doing it "wrong".  There is no right or wrong in your spiritual development, there is only truth, your truth.  Just because something is different does not mean its wrong, just that what works for me, may not work for you.

Many people nowadays rush to "initiate" into a religion, tradition or following without first honoring their own individuality. Not saying that a community is bad, just that each individual that makes up that whole should have some sense of their individual strengths.  If everyone is the same and no individual variations are displayed then you're technically in a cult when often times than not, the "leader" is demeaning, withholds information and manipulates others on the basis of the followers perceived weakness.

You are an individual.  There is no one else like you in existence, so it naturally follows that there is only one path for you to follow. Your Own.  Your path leads to truth, not someone else's truth, but your own truth concerning your magical true self and your relationship with the universe.  No teacher could ever lead you to truth. All that can ever be done is to show you the way.
Ancestral Perspective In order for you to be bor Ancestral Perspective 

In order for you to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, etc. If you go all the way to ninth great grandparents, that’s 2,048  ancestors. If you go a little further to 12 generations, you have 4,094  ancestors.

Your DNA is from those 4,094 people that lived over the last 400 + years 

Think about that for a second especially when attempting to embrace, implement and integrate Ancestral veneration into our “modern” lifestyle. A society that overlooks traumas or the trend of “healers” seeking to heal others without addressing their own wounds. We must heal our current relationships especially those parental and familial wounds. Understand who/what hurt our parents, their parents and beyond. 
 
Think about how much trauma, pain, suffering, fear, and all of the low-density energy that was experienced by those people that lived in times where they didn’t have as much safety, knowledge, information, and security as we do now. 

It seems as though we have all this information and accessibility but refuse to acknowledge the truth. Ignorance simply means “to ignore” it is the root of the word, ignore what is so presently in our human experience. Life is beautiful, but the gesture of existence comes with its stipulations. 

We are here to live our lessons, material possessions are only consequentials to this realm, successive side effects of living in our truth and purpose.
“...the truth holds the greatest magic, the grea “...the truth holds the greatest magic, the greatest beauty and sometimes the greatest danger.”

Summer Skin Prep Dry Bushing is one of my favori Summer Skin Prep 

Dry Bushing is one of my favorite skin care routines and not only is it topically beneficial to remove dead skin, reveal soft skin, and treat cellulite, but also has many health benefits overall.  One of the most important health benefits of dry brushing is the ability to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues and organs that fights infections, bacteria in the blood and other toxins and is a essential part of the immune system which supports the body's defense against viruses, bacteria, infections and supports the body's natural detoxification processes. The Lymphatic system consists of Lymph fluid which is a water like substance made of white blood cells, among other immune fighting cells that protect against bacteria and infections in the blood.

One of the most efficient ways to detox is through the skin and dry brushing stimulates blood circulation which is needed for proper detoxification. Another way to stimulate the lymphatic system is by sweating with some form of physical exercise since the lymphatic system has no central pump to move the fluid through the network as efficiently. So regular exercise and stimulating techniques like dry brushing and massages help the body maintain strength and balance to support the immune system.

I dry brush 2-3 times a week or every other day with a natural bristle brush you can find at most holistic wellness stores and sites near you. 

All you need is 5 minutes before you shower for smooth soft skin with the added health benefits.

How to Dry Brush 
Start at the soles of your feet and brush upward to the stomach, toward the heart.

For the stomach, work in a clockwise direction.

Use firm, small strokes upward, or work in a circular motion.

When you get up to your upper body, start at your hands, up to your arms toward the heart.

Lightly and delicately brush your chest area toward the heart.

Make sure your motions are slow and gentle so you don't tear, scratch or irritate the skin.

Self Initiation The word "initiate" simply means Self Initiation

The word "initiate" simply means to start.  The moment you start to search for truth in any way, shape or form, you have actually started on your path of initiation. From then on, your initiation deepens in direct proportion to your efforts. Remember, input=output. There are many stages in any person's spiritual path. Each experience in a person's life journey is an initiation in itself, as certain realizations are made. Again, these are personal realizations and are dictated by your own progress and level of advancement. These, levels, have nothing to do with with the grades and titles adopted by "tribes", "covens", "spiritual house". An initiate advances by becoming aware. -Phillip Cooper

It is very important to build a personal relationship and foundation with the concept of what "spirituality" means to you.  Spirituality does not mean you have to be subordinate to anything or anyone outside of you. It does not mean that if you interact with your spirit guides or spiritual gifts that you will be "cursed" for doing it "wrong".  There is no right or wrong in your spiritual development, there is only truth, your truth.  Just because something is different does not mean its wrong, just that what works for me, may not work for you.

Many people nowadays rush to "initiate" into a religion, tradition or following without first honoring their own individuality. Not saying that a community is bad, just that each individual that makes up that whole should have some sense of their individual strengths.  If everyone is the same and no individual variations are displayed then you're technically in a cult when often times than not, the "leader" is demeaning, withholds information and manipulates others on the basis of the followers perceived weakness.

You are an individual.  There is no one else like you in existence, so it naturally follows that there is only one path for you to follow. Your Own.  Your path leads to truth, not someone else's truth, but your own truth concerning your magical true self and your relationship with the universe.  No teacher could ever lead you to truth. All that can ever be done is to show you the way.
Ancestral Perspective In order for you to be bor Ancestral Perspective 

In order for you to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, etc. If you go all the way to ninth great grandparents, that’s 2,048  ancestors. If you go a little further to 12 generations, you have 4,094  ancestors.

Your DNA is from those 4,094 people that lived over the last 400 + years 

Think about that for a second especially when attempting to embrace, implement and integrate Ancestral veneration into our “modern” lifestyle. A society that overlooks traumas or the trend of “healers” seeking to heal others without addressing their own wounds. We must heal our current relationships especially those parental and familial wounds. Understand who/what hurt our parents, their parents and beyond. 
 
Think about how much trauma, pain, suffering, fear, and all of the low-density energy that was experienced by those people that lived in times where they didn’t have as much safety, knowledge, information, and security as we do now. 

It seems as though we have all this information and accessibility but refuse to acknowledge the truth. Ignorance simply means “to ignore” it is the root of the word, ignore what is so presently in our human experience. Life is beautiful, but the gesture of existence comes with its stipulations. 

We are here to live our lessons, material possessions are only consequentials to this realm, successive side effects of living in our truth and purpose.
“...the truth holds the greatest magic, the grea “...the truth holds the greatest magic, the greatest beauty and sometimes the greatest danger.”
