Can someone steal your energy?
Let’s talk about something people seem to believe and fear—energy vampires, the proverbial life-sucking evil doers that take all your energy and leave you feeling exhausted, like a pitiful husk of yourself malleable to manipulation and brainwashing.
In my opinion, the term has been badly misused in the spiritual community. It’s become so easy for anyone to accuse someone of “draining their energy” if they don’t feel particularly good around them. But that’s not necessarily an energy vampire.
It’s been my experience that how I feel is an inside job—no one can make me feel anything. If I think they have, I know I’m creating an experience of victimhood for myself. I experience my idea of reality based on my decisions I make about it which leads to my feelings. If I need someone to blame for how I feel (sucking my energy), then I have forgotten who I am and how I create, and who everyone else is too.
I’ve also forgotten that I am responsible for my energy at all times. No one can steal anything from me. I must give it away willingly. I do that by believing the other person is more than I am. I believe what they say more than I believe in what my intuition and energy field is telling me. I allow myself to be drained by forgetting I am believing what is not true.
And…
I can ALWAYS take my energy back. Because in truth, it hasn’t really gone anywhere. I am whole no matter what I believe, because I was created that way. You were too. All human beings were.
But…
We are free to believe whatever we want to. What you are be-ing, you are creating the live version in your reality. Believe = Be live. You call the experience forward for you, through your inherent ability to co-create with the electro-magnetic field that is you and everywhere. You call into aliveness what you are be-ing, including victimhood.
This understanding can also help end the looping cycle of blaming, judging, justifying, complaining, and the feeling of powerlessness. No one wants to be a victim.
So, if you feel you’ve given your energy away to someone else and can’t stop thinking about them, what you’ve done is entangle your energy with theirs. If you want to release their energy from your field, here’s a simple way you can do that:
Place a hand over your heart
Take three slow deep breaths, imagining all external strands of energy gently retracting back to the person.
Say inwardly (or aloud): “I return all energy that is not mine with gratitude, and call back my own energy fully.”
Imagine your aura snapping back into a smooth, golden sphere, edges sealed in light.
This seals your field and prevents feelings of lingering residue from the experience. You can also follow this exercise up with a quick field integration:
Imagine drawing all your refracted colors back through a prism into a single beam of white light.
Any colors that don’t belong to you simply scatter away and do not reintegrate.
I find these methods useful and accurate. I can always feel that little “snap” of my aura as my energy is fully re-integrated consciously. I want to reiterate that this is one way to take responsibility for your energy, but certainly not the only way. I share what works for me, but encourage you to explore what works best for you. Always be you.
