Thread: Psi-Vampirism

I think that devakxes makes an interesting point in mentioning that processing certain types of energy can be harmful. Energetic sources which give off sha qi ("killing" or "evil" qi) are to be avoided for cultivation and integration in the general sense, as they can hurt the person drawing from them. Examples of such places in the environment are areas with dead trees or vegetation, stagnant water sources, places with a lot of power lines, specific geographical locations such as "T" intersections, any place with an abundance of dead or decaying matter, etc. This is related to basic feng shui theory and to a degree, weather magick as well. Other environmental sources such as certain caves, waterways, mountains, fields, etc. are seen as being beneficial. Areas with a lot of pine trees are believed to be particularly auspicious and can hold great amounts of good qi. It is also believed in qigong circles that energetic cultivation during an electrical storm should generally be avoided, although I have done this too and it hasn't killed me. Well, yet, anyway.

The same things can be said for drawing energy from people, in that not all of the energy one can absorb is helpful to the person absorbing it. I have a very empathic friend who I have done energy work with, and I've told her to draw from me in the past at various times for various purposes. I would usually bolster myself first, and after drawing some of my qi she has felt more confident, stronger and energetic. She also seems to get some of my attitude along with it, which could be beneficial or not. Likewise, when around a very negative and intentionally "bad" person (her very abusive ex-boyfriend), she not only will sometimes feel physically ill, but tends to develop a pretty crappy attitude as well. I think it's a good idea to practice energetic shielding and filtering when doing any kind of energy work, whether it's healing, absorbing, projecting feelings or whatever. Not only does this help to build one's ability and confidence with using energy, but also helps to protect them.

I understant the theory of what you're saying but how do you do it in practice.

How do you absorb and project energy in practice? Or create energetic filters and "sense" where good or bad energy might be?

I meditate, then feel for a certian type of energy and then either visualize it being absorbed by my body or I "breathe it in".
