A psychic vampire, energy vampire, emotional vampire, pranic vampire, astral vampire, elemental vampire, is a human being who feeds on the life force of other human beings.

Despite the name, psychic vampires are not vampires who can read your future. Instead, the term psychic in this case refers to the soul or life force of a person. Many would suggest the term be replaced with ‘pranic vampires’, as prana is the Sanskrit word for ‘life’.

Do you know an individual that just seems to drain you of your energy when you are around them? Do you literally feel tired or fatigued when forced to interact with such person? Do you come down with a sickness after a prolonged exposure to such a person? If so, then you may have encountered a psychic vampire.

First it should be stressed that psychic vampires are rarely evil people. Instead, the majority of psychic vampires have no clue what they are or what they do to people. The majority of psychic vampires feed unconsciously, meaning they don’t actually make a decision to drain some one’s life force. However, this doesn’t mean that a victim should just sit there and allow a psychic vampire to suck them dry either. Nor does it mean that one should immediately cut off all contact with such person and treat them like a leper. Instead, it merely means that precautions need to be taken so that such person will not be able to feed off one’s life force.

What causes one to become a psychic vampire? Believe it or not, most psychic vampires tend to have many things in common. Below is a list of traits that might indicate one is a psychic vampire.

1.) Very ill or sick as a child – Many psychic vampire report an extended illness as children that robbed them of much of their childhood. During this time the individual learned to feed off of the life force of others in order to survive.
2.) Abuse – Many psychic vampires were abused as children.
3.) Depressed – Many psychic vampires suffer from chronic depression. It is believed that draining the life force of others may temporarily restore them to a better mental state.
4.) High Maintenance People – Psychic vampires tend to be very needy and ‘clingy’.

Though the above list mainly reflects individuals who don’t realize they are psychic vampires, there are those who know fully well what they are. In fact, some even have consciously chosen to become psychic vampires. Luckily, these people are the minority but they do exist. Let’s take a look at the qualities of the evil variety of psychic vampires.

1.) Alluring – Have the ‘it’ factor that draws people to them.
2.) Manipulative – Experts on getting their way
3.) Money – They suck money from a victim just as much as they do their life force.
4.) Use People – People are merely a means to an end, especially the opposite sex.
5.) Female – Unfortunately most of these bad vamps are female. Probably because men are too stupid to figure it out.

If you are involved with a psychic vampire who fits the description above, it’s best to break off all contact, otherwise it’s not going to end so nicely for you.

There is another type of psychic vampire who is conscious of what they are but only takes energy from willing donors. Such individuals cannot be classified as ‘evil’ simply because you can’t seduce the willing. The ‘victims’ of these people aren’t true victims at all.

Many psychic vampires are more specialized and deserve mention simply since the term ‘psychic vampire’ is so broad. Below are specialized forms of psychic vampires.

1.) Emotional Vampire – Emotional vampires tend to be of the evil variety and manipulate people’s emotions in order to feed. For example, an emotional vampire is keen on riling a person up with anger, simply to feast on the person’s energy. Emotional vampires are very manipulative and dangerous. Unfortunately, the majority of emotional vampires are female. I suppose it might be because so many men are stunted or repressed when it comes to their emotions, which puts them at greater risk of becoming a victim of these vampy women. Those emotional vampires who are not evil tend to be the people with the motto, “Oh, Poor Me…”. They always have a sob story and desperately need people to feel sorry for them.

2.) Tantric Vampire – Tantric vampires are generally not evil, unless they cannot control themselves and break the law or throw out all traces of morality. Tantric vampires feed off of the energy released during sex. Their ‘victims’ are willing donors though they may not realize they are being fed on. It doesn’t really matter that they don’t know they are being fed on as all that energy is being dumped into the environment during lovemaking anyway. Tantric vampires simply don’t let it go to waste.

3.) Astral Vampire – Astral vampires are 100% evil. They are parasites. An astral vampire is either a human being who can astral travel and then feed on victims in a distant place or else a psychic vampire who has died and has for some unknown reason failed to cross over and is now an earthbound spirit. Since the spirit regularly fed on the life force of others while it was alive, it now continues such activity in spirit form.

4.) Elemental Vampire – Elemental vampires are generally good. Elemental vampires do not drain the life force of people, but instead absorb the life force of nature. Most Witches are in fact elemental vampires who, according to legend, gain their powers from the moon. Many elemental vampires try to help other more dangerous psychic vampires realize they need not suck the life force of human beings as mother nature provides all the energy one may need. Instead of feasting on a person like a monster, why not go outside and absorb the energy of a thunderstorm or take a walk in the woods and bask in the life force of the trees?

To recap:

1.) Most psychic vampires are not evil though they do harm. They do not consciously realize what they do.
2.) Some psychic vampires are aware of what they are and consciously choose to feed off of the life force of other people. Some of these psychic vampires are evil, some are not.

Appearance: A psychic vampire will appear as a normal human being. Only a psychic or a person who can see auras are sensitive enough to see what happens when a psychic vampire feeds off the life force of other human beings. According to such people, when a psychic vampire is feeding, tentacles of energy extend out of the spine of the psychic vampire, like an electric octopus, and attach themselves to the victim’s aura and begin to drain the life force.

How to protect yourself from a psychic vampire:

1.) Shielding – Visualize a powerful white light surrounding you, enveloping you in a bubble of protection. You should do this everyday, but especially when interacting with a person you suspect is a psychic vampire. The more you do it, the easier it is for you to do. The good thing about it is that it is 100% unoffensive. You won’t hurt the psychic vampire’s feelings, unless that person is of the evil variety and realizes they won’t be getting dinner!

2.) Carry a protection amulet on your person. You might try carrying a bloodstone, and only a bloodstone. Either in your pocket, or in a cocktail ring, or as a talisman necklace. This should be the only jewelry you should wear around psychic vampires.

3.) Regularly clean your aura.
