Psychic Vampire

Psychic vampires are a very common thing nowadays though we tend to attribute this effect much too often and to a larger number of people than we should since such labeling can be very offensive and upsetting for s person. With the accelerated movement of psychic readings and other practices into the mainstream many people are preoccupied with such things as energy, channeling, psychic vampires.

What are psychic vampires? A psychic vampire is most simply put a person that feeds upon the energy and life force of other living creatures. However, from this definition to calling you mother-in-law a psychic vampire there's a huge distance and hopefully one accompanied by a well developed sense of humor. The term originates in the realm of the occult and there's no scientific or medical proof that such people exist or that people have something in them that can lead to that effect on others though there have been some links made between claims from people to be such vampires and the presence of illnesses like anemia, hemophilia and fibromyalgia.

Such "energyvores" supposedly drain the vitality from people and leave then feeling exhausted, depressed and unaware of the causes for their disposition. Nowadays, the term is mostly used metaphorically but there are also people who believe in the real deal, in real psychic vampires which don't differ so much from blood vampires.

In day-to-day life the people we tend to call psychic vampires are those that seem very weak spiritually and emotionally and who constantly complain about their lives and feel the need to make others understand their tragic condition. They act like social parasites and stick to a person until they suffocate them. Some psychologists consider this a pathological condition and propose different treatments.

We can see that there are two ways of understanding the concept of the psychic vampire. A definition is the one put forward by different Satanist cults, the idea of an entity that goes around sucking the life out of people. The other one is a concept used mainly in psychology in relation to individuals who tend to transfer their negative energy to others and thus replacing their positive energy.

The best way to deal with such people is not to just avoid them because you would be treating them as a lost cause and that would give them no chance to rehabilitate themselves. Especially if that person is a friends of ours, we should bring their condition to their attention and help them become self aware. Once they realize what they are doing they can begin a process of change and if you can transfer negative energy you can also transfer positive energy. Otherwise, psychic vampires who are avoided and isolated will just develop a stranger power and need to influence the ones around them in a bad way.
