If you are on the path of purifying and increasing your energies, there is a good chance you may well have more energy of a higher vibration than some of those around you. They may enjoy being in your positive and energetic presence, like sitting near a warm fire. Monitor your energy level to assure that others do not pass into drawing your energies.

Most people conduct their energy exchanges on a completely unconscious level. They do not know how to accumulate or build psychic energy. They simply go about their lives, not even conscious that some people, activities and situations energize them and others leave them drained. Because they do not know where they get energy they simply draw it from any source they can, frequently from those around them, not understanding the damage they do or the karma they incur. They are not greedy or malicious, they are simply getting by as they know how the same as a hungry child grabs food, not understanding it is not his own.

Some people draw energy from others by manipulating their emotional state. They act or behave in a way to evoke an intense emotional reaction from others whether sympathy or anger and then feed off of the emotional reaction. Have you ever felt great and encountered someone who pulled you aside telling you their sad tale or something which upset or angered you, finding yourself emerging from the exchange feeling depleted? If you haven’t before, notice the other person’s energy state after the exchange. Are they in a better place, more energized. You may even notice a smugness in some.

The steps to energy mastery are those of accepting responsibility for the maintenance, control and direction of your own energies. As you grow in mastery and awareness you can feel your energy state changing. You can sense energy dissipating or being drawn off and take action to address it. It is an expression of an enhanced state of awareness and an act of the will.

If you feel your energy being dissipated or taken, pay attention. Heighten your awareness and notice what is happening. In some cases this may be enough to stop the drain. Notice how the other person reacts when you stop giving them energy. You may even feel a struggle of wills. Their reaction may give you some insight into their awareness of their energy drain. If you do not feel able to stop the drain, change the subject of the interaction. If you need to, remove yourself from their presence.
