Why should you shield and/or ground?

Good question, any energy worker will notice quickly enough that this world is full of energies, good ones, and bad ones. And the human world we are stuck in has a lot of bad energy to offer. Isn’t it nice to walk out there in the forests, on the beach, or even just in the park? Away from the busy streets and suffocating roads. Where little green lives and if it shows up it is killed? Yeah right. Cities do that, there is more pollution to cities than just what you can see, but also what you can feel. Though must say, it also has a lot of lovely places full of free energy.
Sometimes you enter a room and feel directly that something is wrong, just to learn that someone died. That is energy affecting you. It is the reason football games, concerts and public transport has its own “taste” to it. It gathers energy and that includes good and bad energy. It is the reason certain churches make sure you wait long for the main course so the energy is there for them to offer a “spiritual” experience. It is how groupthink works and how people can influence and connect with each other.
Shielding can offer you a whole lot of things to help your own life and those around you. So can basic grounding methods, a room that is high on energy and a fight might happen can be aided by a ground-wire. Shielding can aid you against negative energy and people trying to sway you.
So, you got it? Shielding and Grounding isn’t just fun and games. There is a deeper reason behind it all. If you can work with energy you better learn to protect yourself.

After showering or taking a bath you pull the plug and all the water goes down. You should feel better too, cleaner in so many different ways.  That is grounding, connecting to the earth and letting all the overcharge, extra energy go right down. You can visualize it as a tree-root growing from the earth to where you are. Or where you want to earth because you can also earth others and places. One of the great uses of earthing is to lower energy in an overcharged situation. When a fight is about to break out to draw the over energy away from the situation.
But also it is great when you work in an office and share those meeting rooms to cleanse the energy of the worst muck once it is your teams time to go there. But lets first talk about YOU!

You feel rotten, chaotic, not yourself, something is wrong. After a day of work you just feel F-ed up. Your boss was a jerk again, your co-workers not much better and the weather sucked. Or you are at school and there is something foul in the air, muddled nasty energy you gotta walk through.
This is where you can use a good cleanse yourself! So jump in the shower and, that isn’t a bad idea. But lets say you are traveling, busy, had a hard or boring lecture and just need to get some clean good energy back. Grounding will at least get the nasty stuff away from you.

Basic Shielding

This is for energy users and manipulators a required skill. And many probably have some very basic inborn abilities waiting. But still let's go over the basics. It can help you feel healthier, safer and deal with what life throws at you.

A shield is like wearing a full body condom. Less sexual terms would be envisioning yourself in a ball of energy and said ball only lets certain energy through and bounces off energy off. These energy constructs require energy to be created and training because energy works is like muscles you need to train to get better at it. So at first you only can keep your bubble up for a short time but as you practice it gets longer and longer.

Now if this is your first time sit down, try to relax and envision a con… see through ball around you. Feel the energy and visualize it blocking out energy you don’t want in. Test it out in places where you normally feel others energy. For instance shopping malls or busy public transit places. Maybe you are in school, or in university or at a job place. And the energy can be not the best. Basic shielding will help you survive the storm, just remember that swaying trees survive the longest. Energy has to go somewhere, you need to get rid of it too.

Train regular and in time your ability to keep it up and adapt it even in harder situations gets easier, to the point that it will take very bad energy or a strong mind to penetrate it. Even a simple shield can be a message to some.

Grounding

Visualize that a tree root grows from the ground and into you. Also, it is a great thing to walk grounded, aka outside without shoes. It sounds silly but contact with earth will help you. Wearing shoes puts a barrier between us and the earth.

Just remember one thing, the earth is very slow energy. And in certain situations, you need to be fired up, quick on your feed or super caring and passionate. And earth, in that case, might draw too much energy down. So you don’t always have to be earthed. Sometimes it is better to follow the rising energy. To at the end earth and return to rest again. But always know you can draw up an earth wire and slow down again.

And so

As you progress in your energy workings you can keep track of how you feel and what you did to help yourself out of such situation. You’ll find that shielding and grounding as some of the most basic tools an energy user must be able to handle. There are other tools out there for other situations. There are times when you need to dig deeper. But for the basics you can use these two handy tools to keep yourself in balance.

Tips and Tricks

Self Feeding Shield
After you learned how to shield, why not hook up the shield through a smart system to feed from the energy it blocks. That way it is cheaper to keep up. And this also leads to the beginning of trick shielding. But first you need to know the basics.

Combining Shielding and Grounding
A little thing you can do is to adjust your shield to drain the energy through the earth wire you create. Just be sure the earthing doesn’t annul your shielding. It is tricky I know it. But a combined earth/ground can eat up the bad incoming energy.

Mirror Shield/Bouncy Shield
I am rubber and you are glue, just send the energy back to its source. If the energy is an attack on you, why not bounce it back?

The U-boat
This is a highly advanced shield method in what you adjust the outer layer on the shield to be the same as the surrounding energy, for this of course you require a multi layered shield with “feelers” sticking out. It goes by many names and is one of the party tricks many vampires learn. We can just slide of the radar. Did you know that everybody, yes everybody is sensitive to energy to a certain point. Now you know! By adjusting your energy profile you just fall away.

Chaotic Shield
A rapid adjusting shield that is about impossible to track what the hell is going to do. I hardly use this but it is a method to break links or disrupt connections.

Shielding others
You can ground others, and you can shield others too. Same systems apply, you can shield someone you love for instance.

Large Crowds and Filter Feeding for Psy Vampires

Get ready boys and girls because today I will teach you how to filter-feed. Well, part of it is something you self have to work out as you need certain skills that develop over time.
But once you have those seemingly basic skills you can adopt such to improve your methods feeding.
I will teach you Filter Feeding. A method to feed without directly targeting someone, instead you take from an area. This means, ethically seen, that you haven't hurt anybody. And if you get to read up till the end you learn that you have done well for nature.

I hope you all can see the image. I had to draw something up quickly and I am not much of an artist.

Reality 1: Every living thing gives off energy, it is thrown out and like trash isn't connected to the person anymore. It is just trash. Given the time it will dissolve into the earth again.

Reality 2: More people more energy. An interesting side note, people do influence each other through subtle energy. On a funeral, the energy will be a lot different than at a big rave or metal party.
But in short, most people more energy is left behind hence public places can be very good feeding grounds. I suggest finding feeding grounds like shopping malls, public transport hubs, big feasts, big active dance/bar locations and so on.

Reality 3: The energy left though is very muddy and dirty. It is very nasty energy which I don't suggest that you feed on directly. It can have some very troubling side effects. If you feed at a big rave, even if you don't use drugs yourself... the effect of drugs might leak into you unless you filter! Yes, Psy vampires can get high on feeding on people who are high. Choose your crowd wisely.

Reality 4: This might make you sick, or woozy, or not in control anymore. It can F you up! In the best case, it is like being drunk, high and having popped pills. In the worst case, it just tastes and feels horrible. Again, watch out what you feed on.

Practice 1: Draw the energy through a filter, a sturdy filter that keeps the nasty gunk out. The stuff that makes you sick. Now depending on what you desire you can open up the filter a bit more or close it off more. That is experience and self-training! You need to find out what works for you.

Practice 2: Process the energy, it still is impure and through some refining, you can get out the other gunk and get more pure life energy. That is the stuff you truly want to feed on, the Chi, The Prana, the Life Energy. The emotions can be fun by taste I agree, but sometimes you don't want to get kicked off your socks and just want to get the life energy.

Practice 3: Now you got relative pure Prana/Chi and can drink it without causing weird stuff to your energy system/body. You are in control and sharp. And again, it is up to you to filter out and decide what you keep in the mix you take in.

Practice 4: Be nice to nature, once you are done you have a lot of gunk left. and if it is good some fluid like the stuff you didn't feed on. Now use that fluid stuff to pour it right down into the earth.

And in the end? You leave an area, the energy is much cleaner and you got your fill. Oh, and you didn't hurt anymore.

Recognition, Acceptance and Research(RAwR)

Recognition, Acceptance and Research(RAwR)

To become better one has to understand what they are. A simple basic reality. So the first step in our ways to improve is to RECOGNIZE what and who we are. Until we recognize who or what we are we can’t really make any decisions or adaptations. Many members might remember, or try to forget, how they were are young fledgeling, sorry to use a term like that. But ones who found out what they are tend to make odd choices. We all been there!

Recognize
To recognize can be by meeting others who are like you. Or by finding information about certain things that make you think very deeply. Linking the connection between YOU and IT. And no matter what it is that moment or recognition is a spark that will either shadow your life or change your life. Not only you but also someone else might recognize it, you might meet someone that slides you a hint. Or asks you certain questions that make you think. One that seems to know more, or has answers to questions that you have. That seems to be ahead of you. What if they truly knew more! If you took a moment to sit back.. Would you begin to put together the puzzle pieces? That is up to you!

Acceptance
The Second step is to accept it, to truly adjust and learn one has to accept many things about themselves. If one recognizes something but doesn’t accept these they force it deep into their shadow. By denying your nature it will only grow stronger and fight you. And if you cage the beast, pardon that expression, it will one day break out and it will be terrible. The first step to make our lives better should be to recognize what we are and make smart choices. And before you ask, many tried, and failed to fight it. Best is to work with it, but that is a whole other topic.
In live we have to accept good things about ourselves and bad things. And sometimes things that look bad don’t have to be. It all depends on how you look at life. Everybody after all has a shadow, things they don’t like about themselves or things that society might not have the best idea off. Yet the trick is know yourself and adjust how you life. Just simple advice here, yet it takes years to fully understand what it means. KNOW YOURSELF!

Research
The third step is simple, Research! Indeed Research, once you feel that twinge, and feel a connection you can dive deep into matters and read up, connect to others within said communities. And begin your path of growth. Finding the resources and connecting with others who might have the information you require. See meeting others!
 First year(s) will be a bit rough, so much to learn and to adjust to. But in the end by accepting who and what you are and learning how to deal with it. You can truly become yourself. Expect many forks in the roads, paths walked that proof wrong and bad choices. Such is the way we learn and walk.

Meeting Others
You are usually not alone in whatever you are. Funny how that goes, and you can find communities, many online and if you look deep enough offline. Where in relative privacy we can talk about many issues and find solutions. Definitely in some communities it is a strong aid to be connected. Some communities, like the vampire community, have laid out networks of information, support and places where you safely can chat with others who understand. And that is a very important step into your future years.
You can share experiences, learn what probably works, find people like you and feel better about yourself. Find out that whatever troubles you is shared and hence you might just make friends for life. What more can you hope for?

What can the Community Do?
When meeting the community prepare to not only deal with those steps yourself but also see them in others. It isn’t only YOU that have to deal with them. But also it is happening to others. So if you see someone in the stage of asking questions ask yourself, “Is this person Kin? Are the questions pointing that they are waking up and beginning to seek help?” You can aid others just as once others might have aided you. By guiding to the right information, offering advice and most important listening even if they are still unstable. Those who don’t yet know their path might have many questions and try many things. We should be open to listen to them and even though we can’t offer direct support at times, we can offer advice and an open ear.
We all are different yet share certain common things and it is us listening and giving advice where needed that can steer a young kin not to make the mistakes we have made in the past. Though remember, we are not all equal and advice that works for you doesn’t always works for others. Be sparingly with it and smart, let them find things out on their own terms. Yet like a child, don’t just let them fall into the shark tank either. If one always is stopped from making mistakes they never learn, yet one wants to keep them alive right? Not to mention even if our paths look rather equal they still can be different.
But overall be patient, young ones tend to make stupid mistakes, we all did, some of us still do. Making humans is mista, I mean making mistakes is human. Lead them well, give them room to grow, room to make mistakes but try to have a bit of patience. There are some good kids out there that are misunderstood. A little bit of love and support can go a long way.

What is a Human Living Vampire?

What is a Human Living Vampire?
Writer: Masticina Akicta
Date: 11 May 2019

Human Living Vampires are humans, who are born, grow up, get sick, need normal food and do all the usual things. They get jobs, get married, get children and one day will die. So they are not immortal, not undead and can walk out in the sun. Well many of them, there is a slight issues with a disease that sometimes crops up in Human Living Vampires. Except that not everybody with that condition is a vampire. And not every vampire gets it, isn’t life special.

So the basics, a vampire is a person like you. Except a slight issue is that they require just a little extra. Mostly harmless really if well handled. We don’t know how it works either, just that I does and many of us require something extra beyond our normal daily food and activities. Some claim that something is wrong with our energy systems so we either leak or don’t regenerate enough. Or we use more then we usually get, some claim that we are not connected anymore with nature and that we need to feed other ways. There is a lot going on here and a lot of different ideas about how vampires work and what vampires are.

Now the utter basics mean this, a vampire requires besides food, sleep, etc something extra. And there are different types of vampire, though it isn’t a binary switch, but many of our members will fall within a certain category. Mostly depending on the way they feed. The need to feed is what defines vampire, everybody can influence energy. Everybody swims in energy, everybody can drain and give energy off without knowing that they do. If you been to a concert, of the music of your type. Or maybe to church you have been swimming in energy that is released in large crowds. It is also how groups are hypnotized and influenced by the energy around them. Hence everybody takes and every gives, and some can manipulate that easier then others.

The thing is that the vampire is REQUIRED to do it and to take control of it. And just how ethically that is done is a second issue. If a vampire doesn’t keeps well fed, things go bad, how bad? Though vampirism itself won’t kill you lacking its effects will weaken you, open you up to diseases and overall makes you less stable. You might have a bad day, vampires get it worse for longer. And as the energy goes down, a lot gets a whole lot worse.

“Types” of vampires broken down by ways to feed. Because we are one big freaking family anyway;


Sanguinary vampires, or sangivores, feed by taking blood. Don’t be afraid, they use donors! Yes, donors, people who are willing to aid the vampires and feed them. And before you ask further, biting bad, there are safer methods. Sangivores have a lot to deal with when it comes to finding donors and safe methods to feed. Some can feed more methods, some purely through blood. A big group of note is the medsang block.

Medical Sangivore, in what the vampires don’t do the psy stuff, they pretty can’t. They derive something out of the blood of the donors that keeps them ticking because what they need is in the blood.

Psy vampires, these can manipulate energy and draw energy to them through, hard to pinpoint ways. They just can. These are the ones most people are warned for because a Psy vampire that isn’t well fed, can be unstable. And hence act not the smartest. One of the lessons to Psy vampires is also to feed, feed smart and keep track of how much energy you have then all should go smooth. There are different ways to get food which do not require direct consent of people or feed directly from them. And learning them will help you be a nicer vampire. More ethical at least.

Tantric Vampires, did you know that a lot of energy is released during sex. Now you know, and now you know how they found a way to get energy. Fun times with a fun desert following.

Emotional Vampires, some vampires either don’t know yet what they are and haven’t gotten a handle or worse know and are just jerks. And the way they get energy is by being an emotional leech. They always got problems and need help, and the world is out there to hurt them, it is unfair and if only you could help! Now I am not saying that every freaking person like that is a vampire but it is one way to get a lot of energy. Emotional Vampires are very unstable and usually cause fights around them or drama. Stuff around them is never at peace. These vampires usually are early on Psy vampires who haven’t yet learned safer ways to feed. That or they will never change and just stay jerks. Tip for psy vampires, as much fun as drama is, there is also a lot to say about doing good things.

Astral Vampire, another “sub” group. Now I need to explain something, the astral vampire uses astral travel to find willing or unwilling donors, usually unwilling. The astral realm is a weird place, to explain it in short, lets say you have a good friend or someone you love. One of you moves away far, maybe to study, maybe to return home to take care of the parents. So many possible reasons! The physical distance between you and the other person might be far, the astral realm though has no distances. A and B are connected and there is no distance. So an astral energy worker can go wherever they desire. Equally an astral vampire can feed wherever they desire.

I am certain that there are other ways to feed. Sangs and Psy’s are the big block, the others are part of it somewhere under the vampire umbrella.

In Short

So in short, HLV’s are just normal humans with a slight issue, energy issue. They require something special extra, which normally is gained through blood or drinking energy from the surrounding in other ways. There are ethics, teachings, ways to do it safely and a community that tries to keep it rolling, serving a small community of vampire, donors and friends. We are mere a small society that lives in the shadows, partly because we might run out of sunblock and partly because media is crazy. The moment you mention vampire, you have to run away from the glitter. That movie has done so much… ugh.
Every human living vampire is an individual and different. And has to deal with different problems and situation. But at least we have a core of methods that usually work and keep us sane and healthy. And maybe one day, science will learn precisely what went wrong.
