I am including both the actually Psychic Vampirism and Emotional Vampirism, here on one page. I realize that this might seem a bit wrong to some of you, but I am doing it to show the similarities of the two distinctions, as well as the differences, and interactive possibilities of different disciplines. By the end of the page, you will understand it a bit better, and possibly even see why I choose not to utilize the term Psychic Vampire for all varieties of energy vampirism. Heres hoping, anyway.
Psychic Vampirism, technically, can be termed the use of the psyche to draw energy, or it can also be considered as a drawing or focus upon the energy centers of the psyche, or mind by an energy vampire. The two are quite different, but I will attempt to explain them both here. In the first example, it is expressed as the use of the mind to draw energies into oneself, which is actually involved in most of the conscious feeding practices of the energy-inclined vampires. However, with the understanding that there is a large amount of unconscious energy drawing that occurs in most energy vampires, it can also be accepted that not all energy is obtained directly through the faculties of the mind, or psyche, and therefore, not all energy vampirism is, innately, psychic in nature.
Now, I realize that this opinion might not sit well with many of you, and am prepared for the backlash, if need be, but these are only my own tentative conclusions, based on my own experiences and conversations with practicing vampires, and should be viewed as such. To continue, the second way in which the term Psychic Vampirism can be viewed is in the case that the Energy vampire focuses upon the energy centers of the mind, or psyche, of their host, and draws the energy from there. OK, so I may have lost you at this point, but I am trying to clarify.
During any conscious act of energy drawing, the person who is feeding may or may not have control of the specific energies that they are taking in. The possibilities of varying types of energy that can be targeted by the focused energy vampire are endless, and when discussing the acts of feeding from human sources, there are several main energy centers that are most likely to be targeted, if, in some manner, the defenses of the source can be compromised or penetrated.
Some schools of thought label these energy centers as Chakras, and it is the term I will implement here for clarity. The upper centers, such as the third eye chakra, crown chakra, etc, are quite easy energy centers to link to in matters of feeding practice, when the defenses of the source are not well developed, or have been weakened. Sometimes, even by no direct effort on the part of the vampire, these psyche centers are used for direct feeding, either by preferences of the vampire, or by unconscious tendency. In cases where the energy is drawn directly, intentionally or not, from these energy centers, rather than from the outer aura, there is a greater chance of distinct manifestations of symptoms related to mental and thought process.
What I mean by this, is that when vital energy is drawn directly out of one energy center, often the victim of such will experience a weakening of that particular region, and, dependent upon how well the individuals ability to recover energy is, and the means by which each person naturally replenishes themselves, the effects can be quite harsh. These attacks can cause symptoms ranging from mild pressure of the head, to severe head ache, disorientation, vertigo, loss of consciousness, and even other physical ails in other parts of the body, based on the method used to recover energy and replenish the center.
For example, if the natural means by which your own energy field rebalances itself is of a distributive nature, when the loss of vital energy in the upper centers is counter balanced by the energies contained in the lower ones, depending upon the degree of the drain, any number of the other centers might be left in deficit. This could cause any number of ails and is difficult to determine, except during the actual drain, where it can be readily perceived in the upper sensories of the centers by those individuals who are sensitive to such. Cases have been reported in which actual thoughtforms or impressions are left in the wake of such encounters, but I tend to lean towards the belief that these instances are more a matter of actual Psychic activity, and not necessarily vampiric in nature.
Ok, on to the issue of Emotional Vampirism. This where (I hope) you begin to see why I placed the two together on one page. Emotional Vampirism, probably one of the most common varieties, is the feeding from the energies created during high emotional times in the source. In clarification, it is the taking of energies Produced by the emotional stimulation of the source, or victim. Whenever we become emotionally charged, or reach high levels of emotional stimulus, we produce certain energies that under normal circumstances, simply melt into the aura, or are used by the bodys energy field in some manner. A tentative theory in matters of targeting the emotional energies for vampiric feeding involves the understanding of how easily those particular energies can be absorbed, and also how common they are.
Let us look for a moment at the average person to see how common the emotional energy actually flows: They leave for work in the morning after fighting with two young children to get dressed, ready for school, etc, so their aura has already begun to be bombarded with negative emotional energies, just in the first few hours. On the way to work, traffic becomes deadlocked, and the energies mount even further. If, by the time they reach work, they arrive to find their boss sitting at their desk, waiting to pounce on them for something, at that point, even those who cannot normally sense energy patterns will be able to notice the demeanor and energy field of this poor person, as the aura absorbs and projects so much of it. This is an exaggerated account meant only for the purpose of illustrating the ease of which such energies can be perceived. Often, this type of energy is one of the only types that is readily felt, even by non-sensitive persons.
Now, if you also consider the benefits for the energy needer to find those types of energy that are readily available, you can see how this type might be very common, even preferred method of feeding. It is easy. And, for the most part, it has little negative effect on the source, because these energies are just so plentiful, and are usually maintained in the outer aura, which is the safest location from which one can draw energy. The problem arises when the Emotional Vampire becomes used to feeding on such energies to such an extent that other methods are abandoned, or worse, when one uses different means to cause emotional stimulus in others and it becomes a quick and easy meal ticket. What is meant by this, is that in some situations it has been reported that those inclined to feed in this manner are often guilty of invoking emotions in those around them, intentionally, so as to provide themselves with easily obtained energy. This is not only troublesome, but is quite unethical, and I do not condone it as a means of obtaining energy.
OK, where this starts to come together is in the theories of energy displacement and replenishment. In the instance of emotional draining, 9 times out of 10, the victim will be little effected or only experience a mild sense of general fatigue, dependant upon the degree of the attack. But the weakened state of one who has just undergone an emotional attack is directly due to the weakening of the entire aura field, from which the emotional energy was drawn, and makes the possibilities of psychic attack much more common. This is especially true when dealing with unscrupulous energy vampires or those with excessive energy hunger.
OK, let me explain a theory regarding energy patterns in the average human being. It has been theorized that the energies of the aura and those most accessible are of a lesser quality and concentration than those found in the energy centers, particularly in the upper centers. This might be due to any number of things, but it is most possible that this should be the case due to the fact that the aura readily interacts with the outside influences, is manipulated, dispersed, changed, etc. through natural means, while the energies of the chakras are not. The energies found in the chakras are of a purer quality than those that circulate about in the aura. Of course, only those with the ability to sense auras would be capable of proving such things, and I can only assume that it is quite distinctly individual a characteristic.
Back on the subject. If, indeed, emotionally derived energies are the easiest to perceive and target, and If the will exists to target other distinct energy centers, than the Emotional vampiric drain is a viable tool by which to weaken the natural defenses and target those centers, specifically.
Of course, there are a wide many differing opinions on the issues, and everyone has their own individual means of energy drawing. Some might be inclined to say that general aura draining is the easiest, while others feel that direct psychic linking is the most readily accessible. It depends, I suppose, largely on ones own beliefs on the matters and your level of ability and control techniques, in conjunction with the considerations for varying degrees of defenses that might be encountered. What I have heard from many of those inclined to emotional vampirism, is that it is almost always a certain means by which, regardless of the defenses, an outer protection might be penetrated. I welcome any insight into the further study of such theories, and would ask that anyone with insight into it please contact me.
On that note, I will end my long-winded dissertation into these matters, and truly hope that my points have not been misunderstood. If there are other issues you would like to see addressed in regards to these topics, or do not agree with me, please feel free to contact me regarding them.
