Energy is the single most important force that constitutes the universe and therefore, also the human existence. For me, energy symbolizes efficiency, ardor, vitality, potency and more than anything else – spirit. The gigantic universe that we all are a part of, consists of light and dark matter. In the same way our lives comprise of people – both positive and negative. Either way, they have an impact on us. Interesting thing is that people can lie, manipulate their ugly intentions with welcoming actions, can indulge in sugar coated sweet talk even though malice is what is inside them and yet their vibes don’t lie. Just don’t. People may deceive us but their vibes don’t.
I recently came across this really interesting term – ‘Energy Vampires.’ What it signifies is people who can be synonymous to vampires in draining you, except that they don’t drain out blood, they drain out your ‘chi’ or positive life energy. They suck the life force out of you. They are envious of the little things that might not even hold any importance to you. The way you talk, the way you carry yourself, the way you think – they get envious of everything. In short, your overall persona is what makes them cringe.
Now the problem is that somehow they don’t uplift themselves from their own ‘set ways’ but try their level best to bring you down. Their problem is not their own despair but your happiness. Such people, in my view are indulging in the worst form of human existence. They somehow are unable to channelize the envy they posses as a factor in motivating them to do better (since you cannot pull people backwards, you can push yourself forward). Instead they will litter it around to do harm to you. Worst part is that it isn’t as if they harm you physically (although that can happen too).
The mere thought of you doing well elicits from them such a strong force of negativity, that you actually feel it. It harms you in every way and even though a lot of people may theorize that don’t let such people get to you, it takes time to build that endurance. Mean while these ‘Energy Vampires’ wreak havoc in your lives – emotionally, mentally, psychologically and even anatomically. These EV’S as I call them, cringe, take offence and are full of pitch black envy at things that you might want to laugh at. I mean right from posting a lovely picture on Facebook to, let’s say getting a lot of hits at your newly created website. From being appreciated by a lot of people to actually being successful. From coming from affluent background to being a free spirit, these people despise it all.
They do it not because they hate these things but because they can’t have them (deep inside they keep wishing they’d have it all). It’s a whole different story though, that no one’s stopping them. They’re creating that hindrance themselves since they waste their energy in thinking maliciously about you. Instead they should make more way for themselves. But since that usually doesn’t happen, it is extremely important for us to protect ourselves from the negativity around.
Neutralize the negativity around. Restore the balance within. Try maintaining your aura around you. The more you radiate positivity, the more you make your aura stronger. Make your aura your Armor. Subdue their negativity with your ‘chi.’ Be careful whom you give your attention to. The more you give attention to a thing, the more it grows, so make sure only the things worth it get your attention. Let the positive things, the positive situations and the positive people get your attention. Do not ever get engulfed by the negativity around since it is contagious. Just as a black hole sucks in all the light around, negativity sucks in all the positivity around. Negativity leaves you empty. Try filling that void with positivity.
Surround yourself with positive people. Surround yourself with nature because to be in sync with nature does wonders to you. Extremely few people know how to live in a fascinating way. Others spend their days breathing – only breathing, not living. Stop over thinking about all the things you cannot control. How people react, why people get envious, how people cringe, why people derive a sadistic pleasure each time you’re committing mistakes, feeling awful and are on an all time low, will never be in your hands . What will be in your hands is the power of selectivity, of inaccessibility, and of goodness. ‘Selectivity’ for selecting very carefully the thoughts you pick up. ‘Inaccessibility’ for distancing yourself from all the people who will never think good of you, and will keep cringing for who you are. ‘Goodness’ since you are not a bad person. So, you don’t have to live by the philosophy of ‘”an eye for an eye” because if you do that, there will be no difference between them and you.
Be the way you are – Virtuous, wonderful and seasoned. Transform yourself from within, the outside environment will change automatically. Work hard on yourself in getting rid of all the clutter inside your brain. The clutter comprises the negative thoughts that the EV’s have implanted. Get rid of all of it and make space for the positivity of the universe to rush right in. Trust me, it will and when that happens you will live in awe for the rest of your life discovering the magic that life has to offer. The world isn’t that bad a place. It has a lot of beauty, a lot of magic but only for people who are ready to let go of the negativity and embrace the beauty and the magic. Discover yourself each day. Feel alive. Worth it.

Negativity and the constant pounding of others against your emotional positivity is the most physically exhausting things I have ever come across because it does drain you mentally as well. I try to encourage others to avoid situations that lead to this draining but they rarely if ever listen and then I see them damaged and sometimes broken and then I become emotional drained from their pain. Good article. Now I need to go think happy thoughts. 🙂
Yup create some happy thoughts 🙂
Not very difficult. 🙂 Very happy to see an article from you.
Appreciate that 🙂
Brilliant post!

A nice treatise on unplugging yourself from te grid and filling yourself with real energy…
Thanks for the comment and for reblogging the post 🙂
Wow, Akriti. Very well thought out. I love it. It transfixes on so many levels, the “true” energy shines through! Keep up the light! Peace 😛
PEACE 🙂
Great post! You are right that people around us fall in two categories – sources of energy and sinks of energy.
Yep
Very True, Akriti! How right You are! Kudos.
Thanks.
Yes this is amazing. I often explain this to people. I like the term ‘energy vampires’ because it’s a real thing. Some people decided to take away from what you have because the lack the ability towards investing in themselves to achieve levels they wish to reach.
One of my favourite actions to people like that…. Kill them with kindness anyway 🙂
🙂
In corporate world, we call them Energy Sucker.
Very Nice & Insightful Article Akriti.
You have great writing skills 🙂
🙂
Very interesting post, good job.
thank you
I have nominated you for a Liebster Award http://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2014/05/23/liebster-award/.
THANKS A TON . I really appreciate you nominating me but i insist you nominate some one else. Somebody who writes well but doesn’t have a large viewership. This award will motivate a budding writer 🙂 But nevertheless THANKS 🙂
Good post. I agree that we all should grasp positivity with all its essence and run with it! And I’m big on connecting with people that have good energy.
However in reality it’s not possible to exclude ourselves from having friends who are negative at times, or living in a world where negativity is permeated through all media outlets. But we can’t allow others to steal our peace and our joy.
Agreed negativity is permeated. But all we have to do is create filters.
Great post Akriti! Yes…it is unfortunate but we probably all know an EV or two! I have recently learned how to put the wooden stake in them…get them out of my life. It is fine to say “I wish you well” and then move on!! Blessitude
Exactly 🙂
Many years ago, I used to work with one student in particular who I called an energy vacuum because she would literally suck the energy right out of me any time we were together. I don’t know how love the term Energy Vampire has been around but it definitely fits. These people are like a black hole sucking in every positive vibe around them. You’d think they’d absorb some of this positivity but unfortunately, so not the case. Wish I had come across your suggestions for how to deal with these kinds of individuals 15 years ago. I might have faired the encounters much better.
Thanks for your words of wisdom.
START NOW. It’s never too late 🙂

This is related to my last post about carrying the message, but this post is more concerned with flushing those who focus on “the mess instead of the message” from one’s life, and how to bring about a more solution-based positivity into your own life. Insightful, and integrates several common-sense ideas into an original post.
Thanks for reblogging 🙂
This has to be one of the best of yours . Love the Positive vibes and views regarding letting them in ,flushing the negativity.”The world isn’t that bad a place. It has a lot of beauty, a lot of magic but only for people who are ready to let go of the negativity and embrace the beauty and the magic.” … Too good
Let more of such blogs coming out.
They will.
Thanks for reading 🙂
Hello Akriti,
Great post!!! I totally agree of everything you have said. Even the environment we live in can greatly affect our mood, attitude and way of thinking. The main idea behind building temples and churches was to create a positive energy/aura around so we instantly feel better and feel our higher self.
There is an ancient belief in India about children get sick even when someone looks at a child with the negative feeling (like jealousy). I remember a story in Ramayana (a Hindu book) where a character named Shravan, his attitude gets completely changed and he starts behaving suddenly very differently (negatively). So, his parents finds out that the area was filled with negative energy and they advised to immediately leave the place.
I really like your post and I will love to read your future post.
Please have a look at this book. It might interest you.

Thanks a ton. I really appreciate your gesture but i will very humbly tell u to kindly nominate somebody else – somebody with a less viewership but great writing ability 🙂
Let budding writers be motivated here :):)
Okay I’ll change
It is a good thing to do what you did
🙂
Well said.
I used to be obsessed with removing the negative energy but I came to understand that there is somewhere within us that a weak spot exist which let this creep into our lives and then we wonder how is it possible ? Finding happiness and positive energy is great but at the same time we have to be strong enough to resist the negative energy around us. 🙂 😀
..And hence not everybody is welcomed in my life 🙂
I choose my best people 🙂
Yes, that’s a good thing to do 🙂 It saves a lot of time and energy 😉 🙂
It does.
Positivity equals prosperity!

Happened to read this one.Negativity is what deters life.Inspirational one 🙂 looking forward to read all of your artcicles 🙂
i really appreciate that 🙂
This is a great post!!! I am one to believe in energy as well, and I think that negativity can suck the life out of you and the room. I use to hang out with friends, and there was like one or two guys who would enter in a conversation that we’ve started and as soon as they speak everything just stops, they just were so negative that the vibe would change so much that is wasn’t even enjoyable anymore.
..And that is why certain people need to be filtered out. Not good involving them in your lives too much. Thanks for visiting here 🙂
You’re right about that! And no problem I enjoyed the read I’ll be around to read from here on out.
Hey thanks. I really appreciate you giving my posts time 🙂
Anytime! 😀

I’m glad I could help you.
