Yes, it is possible. When I was a teen, I dabbled in witchcraft. I stopped when My mother caught me and told me knock it off before I called up something evil that I couldn't send back. But, before that, I learned a technique that allowed me to absorb energy from sources around me. I love wind. It is a great source of energy. And sometimes florescent lights would go off when I walked past, each one in turn as walked down a hall with several lights. It was uncanny. Anyway, I also found that I could absorb other people's energy as well. It is a very rude and selfish thing to do so I stopped doing it. Sometimes it just happened. All of the sudden, I would get a rush of energy and the person next to me would start complaining about feeling so tired and drained. So, the answer is yes, it is possible to steal another person's energy or life-force. Believe it or not.

There are some ethical concerns about writing the specific methods. So instead, I am going to talk about why it is not practical in the long run to do so.

The main issue with stealing someone’s qi or life force is in digesting them. You become what you eat. Psychic empaths will empathically absorb things, often without meaning to, and usually do not have the capability for digesting or expelling it. They are often trying not to do this, and have better boundaries. Deliberately stealing qi from others without the capability of digestion or expulsion will make you go a bit nuts as toxic energy start accumulating.

People who depend upon stealing qi or life-force will often hoard it as well, and that creates stagnation in the energy body as well as in their spirit. The psychological dependency create a glass ceiling of your own growth.

Finally, people and beings naturally exchange energy. Sometimes, it gets lopsided. Unhealthy people — people who are severely depressed, needy, have soul wounds, will suck the life out of people around them without trying. This is the kind of person you are aspiring to.

But I get it. People are not likely to understand this until they do it themselves and learn the hard way.

I have a friend who use to steal qi, until I mentioned the issue with digestion. He stopped. He later became attuned to Reiki. One day, at one of those pop-culture convention, he met someone who attempted to steal his. So he just opened up a channel and let the other guy take as much Reiki he wanted, and past that point, just to troll the guy.

He’s settled down a lot since, and the intent to troll probably isn’t as strong. We had both since learned some healing techniques related to the offering of energy, targeted at underlying needs, as well as methods such as tong len.

It happens. It is a well known phenomenon among some circles.

A psychic vampire is someone who does not respect people's boundaries. They are taking something that is not theirs, they are stealing.

Perhaps this attitude shows up in other ways on the temporal plane beginning with their attitude towards others. Perhaps they are manipulative or claim respect they have not earned. Maybe they subtly harass people they envy or are seductive. This lack of respect for other's boundaries can show up in a thousand different ways.

I knew a psychic vampire. It took me a while to understand why I was so exhausted after working alongside him. Once I got it I put up barriers to keep him out but I also noticed some of his behaviors. He manipulated a wealthy woman into marrying him and then lived off her wealth. He would brag to strangers about having two engineering degrees (he didn’t have any) or inflate his importance at work (he wasn't very good). He had developed a persona meant to impress people but didn’t really deliver. He tried to start up a speaker manufacturing company using his new wife’s money. It never got off the ground in spite his coming up with an impressive sounding name for it. His wife eventually cut him off.

This man took but didn't give. He was a drone.

I will tell you one story. My heart was seriously failing after 20+ years with serious life-threatening arrhythmias and many operations. There was very little to do with it using western medicine. It was a deadlock.

At that time, a meditation and energetic exercises along with Yoga arrived into my life. Suddenly, different communication channels opened and flowers and trees started to help me. It was an incredible turn in the desperate situation.

I was every single day meditating around three hours, then does energetic exercises, and Yoga. All followed by a one-hour long walk. That all took around five hours usually, all done before the first meal.

Once a man who never talk to me and always was avoiding any discussion with me came and started a talk about some silly issue. It was completely made up. We discussed for a while.

Suddenly, I did felt a great weakness, it was impossible to get at home and climb twenty step to my flat. I was totally energetically empty but took it as some heart issue.

The next day, I was informed that the man died of a heart attack. Only then, it was possible to put one and one together. Since that time, I become more careful about my energy and all attempts to steal it.

The man was sucking all energy around him without any discrimination. Before our talk, my energy was very full but after it, I did feel like a lemon after squeezing by an elephant.

The moral of the story is that there is no reason to steal energy from others because there is so much of it in the nature, wilderness, trees, rocks, seas, rivers, sky & earth. A medium trained Qi Gong practitioner is capable to harness the energy from the nature without harming others.

As the sensitivity of the Qi Gong practitioner increases, he becomes aware of energetic flows in the nature and their influence on the health.

Intentional stealing energy is punished by Karmic debts. The situation is different with seriously ill and dying people as it is understandable that they go after Qi as a bear after honey. Actually, it is possible to literally pump energy into a dying person with absolutely no effect.

Once the energetic body starts to detach from the physical one, what takes many months, it is very difficult and later impossible to reverse the process.

Only by eating you.

There’s no such thing as “life force”. That’s an antiquated notion that has it’s roots in “vitalism” where people thought that living things had a kind of “life force”. It’s what they believed caused maggots or mold to come from meat that had been left to rot. it took until Louis Pasteur to show them that it was due to bacteria that the whole thing was bunk through the use of this:

The Swan Necked Flask.

He would boil something in the flask and let it sit. Normally, in a regular flask, it would go cloudy after a couple days or weeks being left open to the elements. This was due to bacteria, mold, yeasts and other things getting in there. But this flask, when boiled, would leave a bit of condensation in the lower part of the “s”. This kept it sealed. Nothing could get in so the solution stayed clear.

Critics at that time said he “killed” the life force so he showed it wasn’t true. Either by breaking the top allowing dust and microbes to get in and eventually turn the solution. Or by tipping it so the water in the “s” came into contact with the solution.

Another way was to have some meats and whatever open the air but covered with a mesh that flies couldn’t get through to lay their eggs on it. No maggots meant no “life force”.

So the only way to get energy from somebody is to physically cut a portion of flesh from their body and eat it as you would for any other animal out there.

Over the years that I’ve been teaching, I have encountered a few that I would consider Chi vampires. These people gravitate to the strongest sources of Chi in the room and manage to suck out the energy by their mere presence. This is not a good thing and it can be detected by someone who is sensitive to it. To the point that no one wants to work with them because it can be so draining. You just feel exhausted when you’re in their vicinity. Eventually, they will typically move on once they find someone with an even greater life force. Now, whether they are conscious of this phenomena or not is still a mystery to me.

As other posters have stated, trying to steal someone’s life force is a very heinous thing to do if you’re doing it deliberately. The mixing of Chi stolen from others with yours is not necessarily in your best interest as it could overly enhance your Yang or Yin energy beyond your ability to handle it or nullify it completely leaving you with less than you had to start. If the Chi is something that is freely given, then that’s a different thing entirely because there is a conscious effort to enhance your energy state and that can be balanced and regulated.

So, while there are techniques to do what you ask, and there are people who do it naturally as part of their being, no one that I know of as a legitimate member of the community would want to do this willingly. So, I would suggest that you abandon this line of thought and work with others to enhance everyone’s energy levels. In that, yours will rise as well.

Yes of course but it's only temporal meaning these energy thieves who have detached from themselves must do this continually to exist,,,,,now if someone takes your energy,it means you can make your own energy and shortly or soon after this experience you will be recharged,,,it's not gone forever is what I am saying,,,,these energy vampires purposely do stuff to infiltrate our field,,,but since we are attached to ourselves and source,we can both call back our energy and ask for extra energy and also command their stuff bad energy away from us,,,,lots of people lack the higher energy centers this is why they try to both bully us and try to crowd/monitor us,,,they need something we have but their ego makes them hate us,,because we show them who they truly are

Chi is infinite. It is your true identity. It always has been and always will be.

Having said that.

As long as you identify as a separate human being or personality it will feel as if you have a finite amount of energy. Some people seem to have more than others. There are those who believe, consciously or unconsciously, that they need the energy of others to survive so they draw chi/life force from others like a vampire. I call these people emotional vampires. We all know people like this. We can feel tired just being in their presence. The more energy someone seems to have the more vampires are attracted to them. Vampires are also attracted to those who are highly sensitive and compassionate. Emotional vampires who die in that state of mind can easily become, what Tibetans call, Hungry Ghosts. Christians call them demons.

It is not necessary to take energy from others. You have an infinite source of energy. You are an infinite source of energy. Feel that one. Be that one.

If you would like to learn how to feel that infinite life force that you are I have posted some articles and meditations that will teach you exactly how to do this.

Do not be an emotional vampire. The consequences can be extremely unfortunate.

Yes. Acquire one of these:

Some people may find this question strange but I understand it completely. Here is what I recommend:

1. Imagine a bubble of light all around you. Nothing gets in or out without your permission. No one can hook up to you without your permission. Anyone who is connected to you to get energy is immediately disconnected, cut off.
2. If you feel you are being drained by another person, imagine you can see a line of energy from them to you, like a power cord. Imagine cutting it. Cut it until you really feel the disconnect. They may not notice at first but they will feel disconnected from you and try to reconnect. Keep disconnecting and use the bubble of light as well. At some point they may complain to you that they feel you have distanced yourself or are not the same. You will need to know what to say at that point. You will have time to think about it.
3. You have another source of energy other than physical or emotional. I suggest you learn to access this energy. It is infinite and is always accessible to you. Here is a meditation that can start you on that process…

You can read more about all of this at my blog noted in my credential above.

I hope this is helpful.

Take care

Not mine. However, I have come to see these many mindless and moronic forms of human kind, do that very thing to each other on a normalcy, for quite some time.

There's no worse case of It, than what Is found caused by self-appointed royalty and pretend leaders, who merely lay over Invaded native nations In the worst of ways.

In just about any Invaded native nation, where human kind flocks to from around the world, It's their normalcy to run around taking advantage of each other, while trying not to be taken advantage of.

This Is the value of human kind and reality set forth by self-appointed royalties, who exist to be much more than just failing forms of human kind, clueless to their entire existence and nothing to show, teach or be a leader of, most especially on lands they don't even belong to.

My energy force comes much too strong In comparison, for such a moronic form and breed of human kind, to retard or change me In any way.

Yes, it probably is.

For one thing, people have their own aims and affinities in life. But you can potentially alter or play with this to someone's detriment. One example could be the conquest of America. European missionaries came over here and taught people to follow a God and perpetuate a religion that had no proper connection to their culture. As Bernardo de las Casas put it in so many words: why should they have to learn about our God? Giving people ideas that distract them from their original background or motivate them to act unknowingly but decidedly against their own interests is a definition of soul-theft.

Another example could be the documented occurrence of zombies in Haiti where people are fed herbs that reduce them to shell-like status but leave them capable of obeying orders. They have no more identity and dignity but continue to exist while subjected to someone else's will. Scopolamine is one case of a narcotic that can achieve this.

In ritual magic, more subtle means are used. One example is astral gatecrashing, in which a magician identifies a young child with a favorable destiny and passes his own essence into the child's body to start over and evade whatever karmic consequences his former actions have invoked. I am not commenting on whether or not this is possible, simply stating that there are people who believe this and attempt to practice it.

A lot of paedophilia could be based to some extent on beliefs of this nature. For example, paedophilia seems to be extremely widespread in Christianity, particularly its Roman Catholic variant. But Christian sexuality appears to place an emphasis on the figure of the child. In the first place, recreational sex was widely forbidden in it. In the second, churches are disquietingly full of images of saints fondling children, from St. Francis to the petulant and neurotic “Mother Laura”, obsessed with baptizing Native American children.

The preoccupation of Christianity with a state of paradisical innocence that has been lost and its teleology toward a remote heaven are both fantasies of return to childhood, one nostalgic and the other vectorial. Could it be that Christianity is in essence an attempt to implant its own projective animus in the minds of young beings and that this is its eschatological fantasy? That would also make sense of its focus on the “Christ-child”. In that case, Christianity would be a documented case of astral gatecrashing that actually occurs.

However that may be, ritual magic normally functions by less dramatic means: it centers on subliminal messages that play on people’s ideative reception and their beliefs. Witchcraft works if people believe in it - as any brief glance at the Salem trials will show - so its first mission is to establish that belief. This is usually done subliminally: there have been rationalists in every age, and they are commonly bright and influential. But you can get under people's skin, usually by promoting connections that are not rational in the minds of subjects. Practically any form of religion is a good weakener in this field.

On such an understanding, a whole lot of modern advertising and political propaganda is witchcraft. It obviously works by implanting irrational connections by subliminal means: for example, between socialism and poverty or between a certain make of car and a beautiful female body. A person given over to consumerism, who vehemently defends his or her abusers and votes by conditioned reaction has arguably had their soul stolen and its energy coopted for alien purposes.

More virulent forms of soul theft are commonly ascribed to demons. You actually do not need to believe in any traditional form of religious thought to think that there are marauding invaders - Qliphotic beings and vacant spaces - that feed off our energy. Some of them could see human society as we see a chicken range. Of course, if you do not believe that anything beyond physics and ordinary matter could be a possibility, you will not be open to this. But that is a premise, an assumption.

In fact, we do not know that regarding such entities as immaterial is even necessary. Beings of this type could be perfectly physical and just more advanced than us. The modern Western belief that the soul and consciousness are epistemic illusions could strike them as a mere phase in thought. All the better for them if we do not believe in such postulates -; we will not try to defend what we do not believe in. Even if this is metaphor, it merely reemphasizes the highly rational point I made about witchcraft: people become vulnerable to it when certain ideas have been introduced into their minds. After all, technologically, we are not so far away from being able to hide something in plain sight ourselves.

In general, people who have attained powers beyond the normal reach of their fellows also unavoidably pass into a different dimension with different rules of operation. Along with this go different moral standards. It is unlikely that they will have much respect for mere muggles who are quite possibly militantly ignorant of them or their world, particularly if they are also involved in interchange with powerful predatory spirits. What you do not know can destroy you. It is much better not to choose ignorance.

A more effective method of soul theft could simply be to deceive a whole community substantively regarding its nature and interests. Then souls would be born stolen - or at least, highly stealable. It raises an eyebrow that with all the information on climate change available, so many people still identify their best interests with a superfluity of profit under the reigning capitalist system.

A good historical example of this effect would be Hitlerism. Hitler successfully appealed to mass vanity and post-war disappointment to convince the German people that they were separate from the rest of humanity and were the fulcrum of its growth. If you like, he stole the collective soul and took many individual souls with him on the way.

As soon as you become drained you have handed your power over to another. You are either feeling their energy, or have not protected your own by tapping into the universal life force energy that surrounds us.

Energetic cords have a lot to do with this as is doing things for others that are not in our own best interests at the time.

As soon as you feel drained…

• Stop what you are doing,
• Take a few deep breaths,
• Ask yourself who this is in relation to and trust what surfaces in you now, (if you feel you need to understand anything further but it is not essential at all unless anxiety presents in amongst such). You can then
• Ask yourself, what is in my best interests to do right now, and do that.

It may be you need to just visualise cutting a cord between the two of you.

Or giving yourself permission to send them love.

Or proceed letting them know how you feel or what you actually need. As long as it is in their best interests and done kindly as well. To allow them the space, time and deeper understandings to work out what is best for them. Or if they would like to support your needs as well.

A person who cares about you will be respectful to you and understand and also try to do the same. Waiting for the right time where both of you can connect and enjoy each other’s company again.

A person who does not will just keep drawing, asking/demanding and so will need to be more strongly cut off.

Trust that the energy in you and in them will know exactly what to do to maintain a healthy relationship for the two of you.

When addressed with love and kindness deeper relationships can be achieved and everyone’s needs are supported well.

However, should the draining continue on, then there are other reasons for this and an energy practitioner will be able to establish the personal reasons of this for you and help remove it, heal it, realign it for you.

Just stay away with those people that took the energy away from you. I am not a picky person looking for friends to hang around with. But if some people can drag you down and make you feel miserable. I would prefer to leave.

Somedays whether you like it or not, you will be confronting a person/s in a situation that might challenge your integrity, your self respect you will feel irrate or bad. Immediately leave the situation.

The situation can turn out bad depending on what they can bring into the plate. If it’s not helpful or healthy, then just like you I would rather walk away. Be polite though when you leave. I am an open talker, honest and we can talk anything to the very core, but if we are not in the same page or wavelength. I would rather slip away than being rude. I will leave so I can breath and relax. And not allow my adrenalin run down or allow my brain to explode or be damaged because we can’t get along. I definitely need a space or a breather.

Yes people and environments do this, you can protect yourself by staying in a positive peaceful environment around kind hearted individuals, it's all about your surroundings and the people you have around you do these people give off more negative or positive energy, is your workspace a negative or positive space what are your coworkers energy and mood like daily, how is your immediate family and friends do they make you happy are Do they constantly keep pissing you off, Do you live in a neighborhood with nasty attitudes misery and frowns or are you in a peaceful quiet neighborhood with hello's and smiles your energy could be affected by this neighborhood energy spreads and is contagious.

Protecting your energy is like wearing a suit of armour so that all the negative things coming at you don’t affect you. It’s almost impossible to keep it from having some effect, but you can minimize it by

1. Realizing that other’s problems are not yours. You can try to help, but notice if you are doing this from a sincere desire to help or if you have been guilted into doing it.
2. That being compassionate and caring towards others should never be a drain on you.
3. That some fights are not yours to champion. This is where the saying comes from - “Those aren’t my cows.” Meaning they are running loose but they are not your cows and you are not the one that left the barn door open.
4. That you can only judge what is best for you. Don’t judge what others should be doing - you don’t know enough about their situation to judge them. Don’t waste your energy thinking about this.
5. That you have a limited supply of energy each day, so make careful choices about where you use it. This also applies to mental energy and being aware of where your thoughts go and making choices about that as well.
6. That there are energy vampires are out there, and all they do is TAKE, never returning the energy or the resources you invest in them. You protect yourself by investing slowly and carefully in others as you see who is good for you and who is just a drain on you.
7. Checking facts and sources so that what you listen to and believe is backed by reliable references so you don’t get manipulated by others and serve their agenda.
8. Realize that you are no good to anyone if you are run down, tired or sick. Self care has to come first, and part of that self care is using your energy wisely and being around people who return your support in one way or another.
9. Your energy is a powerful thing. And your thoughts channel that energy, so being mindful about what you think about can change what kind of energy from others you attract. Like attracts like. Being negative and pessimistic - you invite that kind of energy in from others like a magnet. If you are positive, the negativity is often repelled away from you.

The people who use someone else's mental energy is called psychic vampire (or energy vampire). Negative people are incapable of generating positive energy.

Ghost also do the same, they attach themselves to the subtle body of an incarnated being and live off his energy like parasites.

Stealing a criminal who takes property belonging to someone else with the intention of keeping it or selling it.

Dr. Judith Orloff in her book, The Empath’s Survival Guide

The Narcissist

According to Orloff, “Narcissists act as if the world revolves around them. They have an inflated sense of importance and entitlement. They need to be the center of attention and require endless praise. You must compliment them to get their approval.” They can be considered a type of energy vampire because textbook narcissists “are persuasive charmers who know exactly what to say to emotionally seduce you,” per Orloff. “There are always strings attached to the favors they bestow.”

The Rageaholic

This energy vampire deals with conflict by accusing, attacking, and controlling, and according to Orloff, they usually behave most poorly around their loved ones. They might say things in the heat of the moment that they’ll often regret later. This type of person can be especially be considered an energy vampire to empaths because, as Orloff notes, empaths often experience sensory overload around yelling, arguments, loud noises, and loud personalities.

The Victim

You know those people who think the world is against them and find any and every opportunity to complain about how things never work out for them? Yeah, those are energy vampires with a victim mentality. These people often refuse to take responsibility for the problems that happen in their lives and expect their loved ones to swoop in every time something goes wrong. The thing is, we all have our own issues, so when someone is burdening you with their problems, it can feel incredibly draining.

The Drama Queen or King

These types overloading you with nonstop dramas. As the victim, they see their problems as more urgent than anyone else’s. Orloff says, “Drama is a kind of drug that some people become addicted to. Don’t enable that addiction.”

Control Freaks and Critics

“These energy vampires always offer their unsolicited opinions, such as, ‘You know what you should do…?’” says Orloff. “Then they proceed to tell you, whether or not you want to hear their advice. Or they continue to nitpick about the things that you’re ‘doing wrong.’” Constructive criticism is one thing, but if the comment is mean-spirited or just doesn’t make sense, it’s not helpful.

The Nonstop Talker

This person is an energy vampire simply because they don’t allow you time or space to breathe. Even if you’re an incredible listener, a nonstop talker can wear you down to the point that you’re completely drained. Orloff says that people-pleasers, in particular, are susceptible to this kind of energy vampire, since you want more than anything to be a good friend and sounding board—sometimes to a fault.

Passive-Aggressive People

You know this type of person. The one who expresses their anger with a smile, seems sincere but isn’t dependable or says they’re fine when they’re clearly angry. They will promise you anything, but then do as they please. Passive-aggressive people are energy vampires because they refuse to admit what’s wrong, meaning you’re often left spending way too much time either trying to figure out what they’re really feeling or bending over backward to make sure they’re happy.

I’m not able to answer your question with any amount of certainty, but I do have a couple of things to say to this.

Firstly; I understand your question in more general terms than “absorbing energy”, but rather as “how can some people (claim to) interact with other people outside the known boundaries of physics”.

Somebody I know have successfully removed a long lasting skin rash giving a burning sensation from a person she did not know and has never seen. She knew only the name and the village of the patient, not even the exact address. I know this because I know the intermediaries. It was series of 3 daily interventions and the improvement started day 1 of her intervention. This was even double blind as the person being cured did not know it was going to happen. It was a friend of hers that had reached out for help and also her who obtained the information from the patient that the condition started to improve on that same day. How this can work, I have no idea whatsoever. I know that in some cases hospitals in France reach out to specially gifted people who can help patients with burns. They are known as “Coupeurs de feu”.

I have myself experienced telepathy, but only once. My mother came home from work one day and knew something that happened during the afternoon that had frightened me and that I hadn’t told her had happened. How is this possible? I don’t know.

I have had two experiences where I’m sure I was in some kind of mental contact with other beings.

I’m an engineer and atheist and yet I think there is a lot to discover in this field. Unfortunately it is always difficult if not impossible to prove. Somehow these experiences do not come with written and counter signed statements that stand up to any kind of scrutiny.

I think that some of the stories of similar nature are true, but as to how they come about happening, I have no idea.

Radiant Soul,

Safeguarding one's spiritual energy is akin to tending to the most precious garden within. Just as a vigilant gardener tends to the soil, waters the roots, and shields the fragile sprouts, so must you nurture and protect the delicate tendrils of your spiritual essence. Here are whispers of guidance to cover your sacred energy:

1. Boundaries like Ethereal Shields: Envision your limits as ethereal shields of light. Learn to say no when your inner compass senses disharmony. Surround yourself with people, places, and situations that uplift your spirit and resonate with your higher self.
2. Cleansing Rituals: Regularly cleanse your energetic space with sacred practices such as smudging, sound healing, or visualization. Release stagnant energies that might cling to your being, welcoming the flow of fresh vitality.
3. Mindful Intake: Be conscious of the energies you absorb through your senses. Choose media, conversations, and experiences that nourish your Soul and elevate your vibrations. What you allow into your realm becomes a part of your energetic fabric.
4. Nature's Embrace: Nature's embrace is a sanctuary for your spirit. Spend time in natural surroundings—forests, oceans, mountains—where the pulse of the Earth can harmonize with your rhythm.
5. Meditation and Stillness: Regularly retreat to the sacred sanctuary of your inner silence. In the stillness, you can shed the world's noise and reacquaint yourself with the serene depths of your being.
6. Intentional Connections: Forge connections with kindred souls who recognize and honour your authentic self. These connections amplify your energy, creating a web of support and resonance.
7. Transmute and Release: Transmute lower energies by practising forgiveness, compassion, and non-attachment. Release what no longer serves you, allowing space for new blessings to flow into your life.
8. Sacred Rituals: Create daily rituals that anchor you in the present moment. Be it through prayer, meditation, affirmations, or mindful activities; these rituals serve as lighthouses that guide you through the currents of life.
9. Self-Care as Soul-Care: Nourish your body, mind, and spirit with holistic self-care practices. When you care for your vessel, your energy radiates a brighter light.
10. Intuition as North Star: Cultivate your intuitive wisdom. Listen to the whispers of your heart; it is your North Star in the journey of protecting and enhancing your spiritual energy.

Remember, dear traveller of realms, your spiritual energy is a beacon of your Soul's journey. Nurture it with tenderness, guard it with love, and let it flourish amidst the symphony of the cosmos.

With blessings of light and love, Jessica

Leaving aside spirits, ghosts, metaphysics, and religion, all people generate an energy field, sometimes known as aura. When you get sick that energy field diminishes. The brain is so powerful that it is known that people who have lost someone very close, lose the will to live and in a short time die…effect of the brain on the body, and as the body gets weaker, so does the energy field. If you are physically close to a person that has a very strong energy field, and that person comes besides you, that person’s energy field is surrounding you, thus you feel energized. If a person with a very low energy field (a very sick or dying person) is physically very close to you, it is your energy field that surrounds that person with a low energy field, thus you may feel energetically drained. These are physical aspects of a person’s energy field that are not very well understood or studied. Personally I would leave all mythical or metaphysical aspects aside.

Your soul is your free will and emotions.

Narcissists just love to drive us to suicide.

So truthfully with each person that they drive to suicide, I believe that they have indeed deceived that human being big time.

Evil people know that when we suicide, we are breaking a very important spiritual law.

THY WILL BE DONE.

None of us have any right to harm our own selves. By deciding when we want to die and effectively do IT, THAT IS SIN.

THOU SHALL NOT MURDER.

And that includes the SELF.

At the same time must point out the immense mercy of God. Victims of SRA. Victims of some narcissist parents endure out of this world suffering.

I myself was on suicide row Twice because of how narcissists destroyed my life. So I write from real life experience.

Now up to you. One thing I learnt in my life is narcissists are too dangerous and I must never ever be near them. Because if I do, I am a fool. I am just OVER ESTIMATING my inner strength. And since my eternal life is much longer than my earthly one, thank you very much.

But no narcissist will ever enter my life ever again. I learnt the hard way. So please be very, very careful.

Yes it is. There are several ways this can happen. Examples are found in folk cultures and Feng Shui, even in gambling; all due to a common understanding of how others might maliciously attack someone’s good fortune especially without their knowledge.

In folk magic, someone’s good fortune can be affected by what is known as “mal’occhio” a.k.a the evil eye. This is a form of ill-wishing or hexing based on jealousy.

It works when an envious person creates a reversal by cursing in the form of (believe it or not) comments, especially exceptionally flattering comments towards another. Quite devious really because it seems innocent enough to anyone not in the know. Sometimes it’s done secretly against another and still works without them knowing so there’s no auto suggestion.

Many cultures including Italy, Europe, Turkey, Africa, the Middle East, India, Asia and indigenous peoples recognise that it happens and have practices and amulets to deflect the evil eye.

In Feng Shui which is tied up with geography and architecture, sha (malefic) energy is deflected by curved objects, flowing lines, or bagua mirrors facing outwards on the outside of the building. Adjusting forms in this way invites Qi (chi) or good energy into living or working areas.

In gambling houses. One not so readily known is slightly different but also works to change a run of good luck in casinos. A movie based on this is “The Cooler” The film stars William H. Macy, as a casino "cooler" whose mere presence at the gambling tables usually results in a streak of bad luck for the players present.

When his own life took an upturn he wasn’t so effective, so I find that interesting, don’t you? It looks like mind power can steal people’s luck after all, even when they are unaware.

YES. It happens every day to every one of us. Narcissist folks do it, mentally ill people, people who have suffered great loss, folks with severe PTSD whether from war or child abuse, people who are incarcerated or living in deep poverty or pain.

When a person’s needs are not met within themselves or by healthy support in a caring family, work environment, life system, they are naturally NEEDY.

Their body language, their words, their very essence is struggling for survival and they will reach out to anyone passing by, just as a drowning person will often pull under the person who comes to rescue them.

THAT SAID, you might study the works of Marshall Rosenberg, author of Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life, or read the writings of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., author of On Death and Dying, or read the book Spirituality for the Common Man by Rev. Keith Davis, for insights on how to be unconditionally loving.

As a psychic/medium/counselor/Reiki Master, I have been trained in ways to shield my energy, to make a gentle heart connection, and protect my energy field when assisting wounded souls. They need our compassion, but we must give of our abundance, not of our essence. We can’t be all things to all people all the time.

If you are a person who has a lot of emotional baggage, a terrific book to look into is Complex PTSD by Pete Walker.

I have developed a therapeutic system, “higher self role playing” for individuals who would like to reduce specific memories of suffering that I can employ by phone or on zoom or Skype to help people who want individual clearing. Recovery takes time. Another invaluable resource is the 12-step program. Everything from AA, Emotions Anonymous, Codependents Anonymous, etc. provides free and incredible help for suffering individuals.

Thanks for an excellent question.

Giving and taking energy happens in every interaction between people, between people and animals and between every living and non-living thing.

The first step in balancing energy flow is awareness. The fact that you asked the question shows that you have some awareness and want to be more conscious about it.

I have known of massage practitioners who say they feel totally energized after giving someone a massage and that their clients are so relaxed afterwards that they are limp and barely able to stand. Many times in this circumstance the flow of energy is from the person receiving the treatment to the practitioner which is not desirable. The recipient in this case is not simply very relaxed they are drained…of energy.

The solution to this is threefold:

1. Grounding - in order to maintain your own energy integrity you need to learn to be grounded in and of yourself and not ground through another person. Start with simple actual grounding such as spending 5–15 minutes outside barefoot when the ground is not too cold or damp.
2. Intention- Qi flows through intention. Make it your considered and practiced intention to not have energy flow to you but instead from source energy through you to others. That will enrich both of you. You do not want to give your personal energy to them- that will drain you. You want to be open to divine energy and let it flow though you to the other person. Prayer, the assistance of an Angel, focus on God, Jesus, Quan Yin or a divine figure in your own faith can help you maintain this benevolent and loving intention.
3. Cultivate your own energy flow and awareness. Qigong exercises where you become aware of the energy circuits in your own body- particularly major channels such as the circuit that flows through the conception and governance channels in the trunk and head and back again is a good place to start.

To understand more about practices that help you with these areas I suggest these two works by the Scholar and Qigong Master Ken Cohen:

and his course:

I have done his course and studied with him and read the book. Both are very good resources to learn about Qigong and energy. Even better is to study in person with a benevolent Qigong Master who can help you refine your path.

Blessings.
