What If

What if you could pick up so many more things then most. What if you could meet someone and directly feel if they are good or bad kind. What if you felt if someone needed your help, or if someone had a very bad day. What if you picked up things that seeing body language wouldn’t pick up as easily. What if you were not taught deeper body language skills yet you KNEW things about others. If you talked with someone over the phone and something felt off. Or you met someone and without them giving a reason you knew their inner turmoil and pain?
Welcome to the world of the psychics, empaths and yes psychic vampires.

The Five Senses

You probably learned this is school. The five most basic senses.
Touch, what you feel as you touch it or something touches you. The cold wind blows over you, the brush of heat against you, the textures of paper under your fingers.
Taste, what you eat, the basic tastes. As your nose is used for the fines “tastes.” A very basic natural system on your tongue of receptors that make sure that what you eat is safe. 
Sight, what you see, some see better in the dark then others, some require glasses to correct focus. And some are colorblind.
Hearing, what you hear. From the rough thumping of a mechanical jackhammer to the delightful air in a good piece of music. And again, some people have sharper hearing, some worse.
Smell, a very useful skill to not only know if your food is still safe to eat. But also will pick up other dangers. There are also scents that draw you in, fresh strawberries for instance. Or the rich smell of a well-made pizza.

I am happy we got the basics out of the way. A vampire, empath or psychic probably has sharper senses, but that isn’t always true. Many things we sense are a combination of senses anyway, the experience of eating is both smell, feel and taste. And even sight, a burger that is colored blue with food coloring will taste worse. Though, the food coloring has no real taste. Our brains will have decided that blue meat tastes worse.
Everything we do is subjective, humans are very subjective, to the point that each of us sees colors slightly different. Or taste things slightly different, we have the same basic tools, but all combined slightly different experiences.
And that is only the Five Senses. Let's add the Sixth one.

The Sixth Sense

Some of us can smell your perfume from pretty far, that isn’t to strange. But also what you try to cloak with it and I don’t mean that you just had sex that morning. But the fears, pains and desires that go deeper. We pick up things behind the mask.
We KNOW  or FEEL things, without directly knowing why. When we meet you at first we KNOW just what you stand for, if you are a good person or not. This usually requires face2face or a more direct connection then a chatroom online though. Something to connect to the other person with. A picture, a voice or meeting up.
An Empath FEELS things, A Psychic KNOWS things, both to the same conclusion though.
Many of us see the future, as in, we pick up what might become a future. Future isn’t set, it is changeable. But if a person is dead set to do a certain thing that is bound to fail, you can predict just how hard they will hit that wall.
The curse of knowing more then you can explain is that it is very hard to explain to people why certain things are not going to work. Trust me, they won’t take, “It just won’t work.”
Because they want solid reasons, you got none, you got a feeling. So at most you can warn them based upon a feeling.
It is quite the shame seeing people crash their heads into walls. But life is a learning experience for everybody.

So, the psychic and/or psychic vampire will know things ahead of time. And the Empath will feel things that lie beyond the mask. Trying to bullshit any one of them a lot harder, just saying.

Empath and Psychics

They are a different breed in ways, reading different things but end up on the same point. They know more about you then you are willing to tell them. But don’t be afraid, many are nice and friendly.
The Empath, if they meet you or connect with you, can feel your energy. And pick up things like pain, emotions, desires and other things. Hazy as any of these skills but with training they can adjust their lives and help themselves and their friends. Or offer advice to people seeking it.
The Psychic can see beyond the veil and into the murky haze. Pick up hints here and there and can, in time, work together with the story how things connect. If in a reading with someone they can pick up important clues that can help said person to change the path for the better. Or warn them for trouble ahead. Help them make choices that in the future might pay off.
And the Psychic Vampire? Oh, that is a vampire that uses psychic methods to feed. And can expect to get psychic gifts in time. If you work with energy you learn to read it.

Knowing without Knowing

I think that the worse is Knowing without Knowing. The little hints you pick up, the feelings, the tastes. Given too little to show to others. You can give advice but without really having a hand full of cards to show why. If someone goes to a psychic they usually can work out things based upon the clues. The person asking for the reading might say that yes they got an aunt who is the black sheep of the family and so on. Binding clues to other clues leads to a bigger story that becomes more obvious as it grows. And yet remains hazy.
The future is changeable. All those who are sensitive to a part quickly learn this. Ever asked yourself why psychics and empaths tend to be a bit off and odd. Well if you live in a world of energy, between worlds almost, one gets a bit odd. You begin to understand the value of silence, of not saying things yet. To watch and see, to give advice in ways that elude just how you got to such advice.
As you listen the spirit world begins to aid you, give you hints, insights. And things become clearer and clearer. But through that you also drift just a bit away from the world you were born into. Some even so far that they can become the in between worlds. But there are prices to pay, this blog won’t go into them.

Honing Skills

One should train their skills both is getting better, knowing when to use them, how you can trust them. And of course how to take a breather of them. Ask any Empath after visiting a funeral how they feel, don’t expect great answers.
One can ground and test their skills. If one does Tarot readings and one has another witch/empath/psychic friends one can work together and talk with each other. Do weekly or monthly tarot readings for other friends and get their feedback on how things went. See how
If you get to connect with others within your realm do share events. Like reading tarot for the same person or situation and looking at how every reader ended up. Don’t worry if it seems you are wrong. Maybe you picked up something else. Or you didn’t get the right connection. Don’t push yourself too hard, not every day you are the sharpest.
If you are an empath and hook up with other energy workers. Ask them what they feel, see, experience. Not everybody picks things up in the same way after all. Some might taste things, or see things, or know things or hear voices.
There is no set path, no set training method, only way to get better is to do it. Experience grows on the vine, it takes time for it to grow.
So find some friends and get to work, take your time, write down all your experiences and what did went well and not well. What happened for a person after a reading and so on.

Trusting Skills

And in the end one should TRUST their own skills and gifts. As long as you feel that they are right and can be targeted and trained. Gifts like these can open many doors.
So what do you do with your skills? Well, this modern society might not always deem it useful. But who says you need to tell your parents, friends, boss and so on that you got these skills? You can use them in the shadows, most energy users work in the shadows. There are a few out in the open, but enough in the shadows. You don’t need to tell everyone, use it. If you get information there are many ways to use such information.
If you got a bad feeling about the new preacher, you probably can’t tell your parents that, they wouldn’t believe you. But you can tell that you don’t trust him. And once said preacher runs off with the church funds… well you were right.
You can help your friends with your insight, as long as they are willing to listen. You don’t even have to mention how you got said information. Just that you are not to sure or that yes they should go for it. Think of it how you should handle it when your best friend has a new love and said love is obviously bad news. Soft Touch!

Shielding and Grounding

Shielding and Grounding

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.
