Sometimes those who drain your energy are people who are really lonely, including grandparents, who have lost their spouse, parents, who feel alone, close, friends, cousins. It’s easier to set boundaries with people who we don’t have to deal with often or ever; however, difficult for people who we care about - at least for some.
@@MiaStayingCreative I get it as someone who has been chronically wounded and needed support. Her tone seems to lean more toward people intentionally sucking the life out of targeted individuals.
Become aware; don't react; deflect. This is a helpful 3-step process. Self-love and self-awareness (e.g. asking myself why "they" trigger me so much) have been game changers for me.
This is incredibly helpful, Bridget. Thank you. I’ve heard Reiki Masters talk about removing energy draining “hooks” or “cords” but this is the first time I’ve seen someone actually talk about stopping it “in the moment.” Thank you.
Thank you for these 3 steps. Being aware and visualizing a protective glass/layer can be very helpful, but I don't personally call these individuals "energy vampires; I don't see this connected to Karma or past lives. I believe all human beings are born as innocent children ;then some experience suffering and major traumas that show up as behaviour that may be draining to some of us; one person is not 100% dark and another 100% good. I think if instead of seeing them as inherently bad ("energy vampires"), we have compassion for them and wish them healing, and at the same time be aware, set and maintain healthy and firm boundaries, the world becomes a much better place.
I agree that people are not all intentionally 'bad'. But, people know what they are doing when they take from others or continually act out their neediness and attention seeking. There is such a thing as tough love. Stop them at your boundary right from the start. No excuses.
Naive. They know exactly what they are doing. And even if it is unconsciousness that means nothing. A person person stabbing you consciousness or unconsciously makes no difference in the damage done to you. They are Toxic Period!

Karma does exist and it reflects in your genes and neural in the next births. The physical body and mind we have is the result of those karmas. She is right about that.
Felt drained even after hours of prayers.......while chanting unknowingly slept.....somebody showed me to write Thank you Divine Light for always protecting us with your Divine shileld** in a dream state......started writing 9times before sleep.....and loudly & silently started chanting it....... And in our group prayer also....unbelievable miracles started happening.....nowadays feeling calm & safe
In zen practice we honor the “hungry ghosts” with offerings. They are all around us and giving them a small gift is part of demonstrating awareness of their existence. I really appreciate this video! Thank you! -John
Love these videos! I hope you’re able to make more of these. I’d love to watch the shorts but these kind of long videos give me a better understanding of what’s being said and I love the energy you’re radiating. Please post more! 🩷
Holy moly! This has happened to me my whole life. I can pick up on very subtle energies and the hungry ghosts like my very high level energy. One 2 weeks ago almost left me dead. Yes I have some coworkers and I don't feel happy around them--I just want to get away from them.
Toxic people and toxic environment does drain energy i can notice instantly i want to be around good people thank you so much for sharing of your knowledge
You cannot be hypersensible and have a strong shield at the same time. You can only repel energetic attacks to a certain extent. The best option is always to avoid contact and communication with energetic vampires.
Thank you, Bridget! Very useful ways of avoiding energy stealing. I didn' know about them and no doubt I'll use them. Thanks. May all the embracing light of the universe be with you.
Great vid. 100% correct. Reading some of the negative comments( from people who are not in touch with themselves yet-sorry) is a shame. Listen to this woman. Awareness is key... Stop, watch and feel your friends, partner and family members. The look they will give when they know you KNOW may scare you but you'll know it when you see it. A golden egg 6 feet around me protects. I'll make it bigger. Than
Thank you for sharing 🩷Most people are not aware that they are draining other people's energy. They ego takes over. I feel like callig them an energy vampires is a little bit demonizing and can convey a fearful message to our subconscious. I like to look at those people through the eyes compassion and love 🩷

@@magnetdesignandadver thank you for your sharing. Looking at other people with love and compassion doesn't mean not having boundaries and I do agree that we need to say no to what's not serving is however I'm not a fan of demonising anyone. We are all doing our best with what we know. Love always wins 💜
@@gabrielarybicka3138 Yes, it also comes down to self respect as many of us are empaths and always wanting to help - sometimes out of a need to feel worthy. It is essential to look at our own reasons for giving our energy away and depleting ourselves for the sake of others simply because we can't say no
I would like to thank you deeply for sharing such information to help us with our energy protection. I am going through such situations lately with friend who i knew was narcissist but i never got affected energetically but recently i feel attacked from the same person and and it’s growing but i have started to create boundaries and give back their energy and i can see they are not liking it. Feels like this friendship was here only to teach me how to protect my energy. 🙏🏻
Thank you, Bridget. Your words really struck a chord with me, and I just have to tell you that you are absolutely radiant. Wishing you the best in this holiday season!
Thank you Bridget. My mother in law is just like this, I tried for so long to just cop it on the chin and laugh it off (but felt so hurt inside) after many years of it I started retaliating and she would jab even harder and say I'm walking on egg shells around you. Now she does the same thing to her other kids boyfriends and girlfriends as well as me still. I mostly ignore it and walk away but I feel awful for the new bf and gf, sometimes I stand up for them but I just don't get it. Her kids are like, that's just mum's personality and her humour. I dread seeing her and how she makes me feel.
Hi brooke, thanks so much for sharing. muchlove. :) are you saying that after you retaliated/stood up for yourself, the mother in law started saying she waa the one walking on eggshells? thanks. :)
@yes-n7h yes, she said she was walking on eggshells because I had a go at her for being rude, nasty. I put her in her place and she didn't like it and she acted like the victim.
My MIL was just like this, and my husband would not allow me to stand up to her -- he became very angry about it. Wish I had known he was such a momma's boy with all loyalty to her and none for me. Should have divorced him immediately.
Thank you so much for this content!!! I can think of several people close to me in my life that are energy suckers. My husband and my mother!!! My mother has been unconsciously dimming my bright light all my life. Instead of pent-up anger I now feel sympathy for them. Thank you for making this clear!!!
I noticed when I was with my parents I would have to slump over and protect my stomach. Then I would go home and binge eat. My little soul dog would also go stand by the door because she wanted to go home.
I just asked God to help me with this exact issue, which somehow keeps following me around on repeat throughout my life. Wherever I go, there they are. Seriously. Even on the bus. Its like I am a magnet. Let's say I laugh of pure joy, suddenly there is an elderly woman just staring at me, with this grumpy look, sighing out lod. And why do I take it in? Because I grew up with a mom doing this constantly, she is like a black hole. Only being able to exist while consuming those around her. I am in no contact with her and trying to heal for years, but these people (usually women) still get to me. I realise, the main reason I am unable to deflect, or just sit in this space when it happens, is cause one small part of me STILL feel like its MY responsibility to "hold space" for this madness. That without me, they will not survive. Truth is, they will survive, but they will have to feel their OWN pain. And since I was a child, apparently it feels "easier" to feel others pain rather than having them go through with it. Cause I don't know if they would survive it, but I know I will.. I can just cry and scream in a different room after....... And recharge... But doing this time and again eats away from my own life. I have no room or energy do pursue anything I wanna do, cause of this cycle of being hurt, purging, being hurt, purging. All to keep this women in their bubble. Second reason is, fear they will leave me. When you say, in that moment where you "caught them in the act" they will naturally wanna get away. THIS is the hardest part for me, this part of me like a baby crying for mom, the minute they leave. Like, what did I do, why did I do that, they just left me! I know its a GOOD thing for them to leave. But I need to understand that this is a good thing subconsciously, and THIS is what is the hardest, THIS is the big lesson. So how to even do that? Wish you had a video further investigating the mechanics of this. Thanks and best
There are multiple things going on here. Idk if youre open to it, but the first book i would suggest you read is called psycho-cybernetics by maxwell maltz which will have some answers for you on why this is a repeating pattern in your life. An even better and more important book imo is Mind Power into the 21st Century by John Kehoe. That is the best and most simple and clear instructions on how best to proceed. After that, id recommend you look up neville goddard techniques for revision, which will help you use your imagination to heal past traumas. Theyre not your real life anymore, because they arent happening any more, except its still alive, unresolved, inside your mind, as the memory continues to cause you pain. So if you want to heal from it, end the pain by rewriting the memory of pain, by repeating a new story to yourself. Another thing if you want to, is to look up self concept techniques. Both those methods are taught fairly well here on youtube if you want to watch videos about them. The important thing of the self concept methods, should you choose to do them, and this is extremely important, that your begin to see yourself as ALREADY HEALED. it is DONE. you change your identity as being someone who is ALREADY, COMPLETELY, their best version of themselves. If you keep the identity of 'someone who needs to heal' your mind will never stop looking for things to heal, you will stay in pain. (this is somewhat explained in the psycho-cybernetics book) The key of reaching the result that you want, is to keep your mind on the positive result that you want, in the energy of ALREADY HAVING IT, that it is DONE. It is NOT that you WILL be healed. It is that YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED, and are right now enjoying the results of this. These recommendations WILL give you the answers you asked for. From here onwards, it is up to you to do the actions required to create a new life for yourself. No one but you can rewrite your mind for you. Another resource you can explore is the sedona method, which is for releasing painful emotions and negative thoughts. They will come up. The sedona method will show you how to let them go as they do. I wish you the very best and happiest life. Stay strong. You can do this. You have many gifts to share with the world. And then world has many gifts to share with you too.
As far as the old woman....when someone is annoyed at your happiness, just blow them a kiss and a wave and smile. That will annoy them more and make them want to pull away from you.
You articulated this so well, thank you. You brought up a much deeper issue that so many people today are struggling with: the need for love and acceptance from women unable or unwilling to provide it. I'm sorry to hear you experienced this. I'd love to make a video diving into this and have added it to my topic list 💛
❤ Thanks. Yes, I realise more and more that the underlying reason for not being able to just ignore others behaviour is the need for validation or belonging with these same people. To let go of the need to be loved from let’s say your parent, to fully detach from your parent…. Thats a big job
I would call them narcissists. I'm a sigma empath. Whether or not they are 'karmically' doing what they're doing and why, well that's one idea. There's a lot of communication that goes on between individuals, including emotion, feelings, senses, intentions, harmful or helpful, good or bad, etc. And on a deep level too (though not everyone is aware of it). Obviously not everyone is in the same spiritual state. There are many great videos on YT about how to be knowledgeable about narcissists (aka 'energy vampires' etc). Empaths need to learn about them in order to not be overwhelmed by being an empath. It's actually great to be an empath.
You speak right out of my heart! I love the english terminology „behave poorly“ in my mother/father tounge there is no such thing as „poorly behaviour“ in the language. They only say „behave bad“ or „evil“. My Ex Sister and Brother did this frequently with me, because I was closer to my mom then they ever been. I loved my mom much more then them. They never missed a oportunity to punish me!
Sometimes they did a fake compliment and as soon they saw me happy they would tear me down and take the compliment back. Then laugh at me evl. But thats the way I got stoic to compliments!
Thank you ❤ for some reason I was so touched by your well meaning and kind energy towards the end of the video that I almost cried. This is the first time coming across a video of yours and I will subscribe for sure 💕
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. You have no idea how much it means to me to hear this! Very glad to have you joining us here now 💛
Great content ❤❤❤ We have to create space between event and response thru mindfulness this will help regulate our emotions Feel the pain accept it and let it drift away like a cloud
I think it’s helpful to see that there is a difference between someone who is abusive, and one you dislike. Someone who puts you down in public is abusive, and you shouldn’t get into a relationship with them in the first place. But learning to function around people you dislike might be a place to use your techniques.
can relate to being an empath a giver a great listener and therefore have always attracted people who need and want my time and energy.... I personally don't think energy vampires are that self-aware of what they're even doing... that's why they're doing it because they're self-absorbed and not self aware.... I've dealt with this my whole life with good friends my mom partners clients.... they're very self-absorbed... you have to be the one that knows yourself well and learns how to set proper boundaries... the body clues are huge.... lump in your throat pain in your body low back hurting anxious and irritability..... I'm on a journey right now to learn more about my self in learning to be okay with saying no...
Excellent video and tips about a subject that is far more common than people think. I would add that a daily practice of energetically protecting oneself is almost a must in today's world. Also, watch out for non-corporeal entities leeching your energy as well.
A few seconds in and I already knew I had to subscribe. Thank you. It’s frustrating to live under the same roof with one. My uncle. He’s very creepy and would try to bump into me whenever I’m walking around the house. He would try to make me aware of his presence as much as possible. It makes me crazy.
Thanks you this video coming right on time when I started notice one of the messages of one of my family members keep texting me asking me about my dreams project that I started planned. I know immediately that she don't have any good intentions behind her questions. So I immediately go for meditation cause I keep thinking negative all day about her annergy that she send towards me I keep asking God to protect my anergy and asking him for wisdom and this is first time I see your youtube channel amazing how God work for us. Thank you ❤and as I listened of this wisdom I can feel all the negative annergy was Release out of my body thanks you so much ❤️
i remember this one time i felt completely stuck, like no matter what i did, life just wasn’t moving forward. i tried everything-manifestation journals, vision boards, all that stuff-but it felt like i was missing something. then i stumbled across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it hit different. it wasn’t just about manifesting; it was about understanding the energy i was putting out into the world. honestly, it changed everything. if you’re feeling stuck too, you might want to check out this book.
@@bridgetborenI am so grateful for you following this path ! The universe loves you and angels are with you light warrior . You’re so glowy and shiny !!!✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✨
Thank you Bridget for this reading! Just coming out of a very painful cycle. I now got to start my healing journey. I have my Dad's Anniversary next week and I in more recent years was on palliative care for my Mum. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Thank you again and respect! 🤗🥰
@bridgetboren Thank you! 🤗🥰 as everyday I face a new challenge and everyday I get up and face it alone. I just thank God that I am still here. And even though I am tired, exhausted and forgetful at times he is always there! Amen! 🙏
Bridget can drain me all she want. All jokes aside, this video has applicable intel that I implemented today and it feels good to be in control of my anxiety around others that try to make me angry or even raise my voice and change my mood. Thanks
Here is a different way of thinking about this topic and I would like to know what you are thinking about it. For me, on a spirituell level, we are all one and deeply connected. I believe, we just feel, how the other person is feeling. If we feel bad about ourself in a toxic way, when we meet this person, we probably feel how they feel normally. If we are in a room with someone who loves themself, or with someone who is not loving themself, maybe because of many really bad experiences in the past. We will feel it for sure. Not because they are vampires, but because they lacke being loved in their environment and were actually emotionally traumatized. Therefor these people love to be around someone who loves themself, so they can feel the love they are missing. I have this image of a huge monster, but when it gets loved, it actually becomes what it is, smaller and smaller, till there is a crying child or baby who needs to be loved. ❤ we are all one. And we are all an essentiell part of the devine universe. There is nothing inherent bad. Even though i totally know this kind of experience. Would like to know your thoughts. 🙏
greatly appreciate and I enjoy the vibe you give off as it feels like you are genuine in what your talking about and I agree you have a strong essence about you as well. You can tell you practice what you preach, I appreciate the tips it was very helpful
If you are really aware of yourself and your energy(if it is really special) you can deal with low vibrations without running from people ...I've met people believing they have a special energy level and trying to run from people struggling to put on a smile...when you are affraid of your energy level, that can't be high,fear and worry are very low vibrational.So if there are others believing that they are "special"and running from others,stay calm you're not that special.High vibrational people don't worry and don't carry fear,they are stable and ready to help and trasnform,not "deflect"
Experience says it all more than even reading about it. This can happen too energetically and if your a natural empath, these steps are definitely worth considering.
Hello Ms. Bridget. You have a radiant smile and a beautiful pair of dark sapphires for eyes. I will honestly try to incorporate your wisdom into my everyday life, even though it is difficult to become enlightened even with the help of Buddha's advice, as they notoriously say.
I highly doubt these energy vampires are even aware that they are in fact energy vampires. If in fact they are born into this life like this, then it makes sense that they would then feel the same draining, sadness, anxiety that a lot of people feel these days. The world is crazy. As an empath, I understand the necessity to protect myself each day. But, I can do so while going through life without judgment. As we are all here on a path. A path we signed a contract to uphold, before even being born. Some of us were braver than others in choosing a very painful existence, to evolve our souls. So, you can lable others, but then turn the mirror around and see some ugly truths & reflections of your own as well.
Thank you. :) Sometimes over eating is a big clue. They twist your words and say it in a way that puts you down. It is a baiting tactic to make you chase their validation.
Love this vid .Thank you so much Bridget. It is going in my tool belt and i love the point you made about ones own energy being used to make our own big beautiful life , Gods blessing and gift to us. I believe very much in the body mind connection .I have some medical issues and i try to be aware as part of self nurturing how in my many years now that things like anemia , thyroid, voice , heart murmmer, dry eyes, paleness etc ! i know these things are in some way associated with vampirism.Even through awareness it one must continue to strive for that big life and blessings.Thank you for your wisdome here.Going in my tool belt. XXXXXXX
Love to hear you'll be using these techniques! Keep the strength of your heart alive no matter the conditions or health issues... you're born for big things 💛
Step 1 of 1: Don’t stay a vibrational match to a reality where it seems like other people can drain your energy. There is nothing like that existing. No one can drain your energy - only YOU can do that. Believe me, been there, done that. Remember your power! You are the Creator of your own reality. If you think it is necessary to learn skills to set boundaries they will only be reflected as a vibrational match to: gimme more situations where boundaries are necessary. Better learn about frequencies and how they work, this is a vibrational universe, you attract your outer world with the vibration you send out. Learn to understand what is reflected to you and why. Then learn to (simply) shift your vibration, your emotional frequency and the world can only reflect what you are a vibration to. Everything good is yours already! So now you know. 😘
Thank you, ..lol I got so angry listening to this - because I can still sense the connection energy vampire people have with me, and the "missing parts" of myself. Phew... I get angry a lot and then I eat/smoke a bit, I just wish I would heal already from all this and get all my energy back and maintain it. I wish to not be angry all the time and just move on. Again, thank you. If you would have a "super thank" option I would've sent you $ with this, just so you know. P.s. You reminded me of the Queen of Swords in Tarots. 🙂
As an empath by definition you catch everything, even the slightest trigger, so you can't defend yourself, you should dodge vampires as much as possible.
This "psychic protection" (Ted Andrews has a book with that name) may be very good for the more "piscean" (astrological zodiac sign) folks. I got no major planets in Pisces, but will still watch and listen this carefully, to see if anything good pops up for me. And, after having watched this video now, I feel this is very beneficial info for me. Certainly something to act on and not just forget about. Thank you!
Thank you for the great video! I am wondering other people’s thoughts on this specific topic: I used to grow my aura out far when I first started intentionally shielding myself, the people around me, and spaces. Overtime, though, I started to intentionally draw my aura in closer to my body for the purpose of not allowing as many people and entities to pass within my auric field (along with casting out lower vibrational entities). As someone who defines as a psychic, this has helped so much in reclaiming my own mind, heart, power, behavior, and emotions. What are people’s thoughts on casting a wide aura or keeping your energy field closer to yourself?
This is exactly the same thing I noticed, took a while!! But I swear it only started at a particular time. Thank you so much for this. I was being put to sleep like a narcoleptic. I have a consistent spot on my scapular and it just moved to the right side and some on the spine.

Sometimes those who drain your energy are people who are really lonely, including grandparents, who have lost their spouse, parents, who feel alone, close, friends, cousins. It’s easier to set boundaries with people who we don’t have to deal with often or ever; however, difficult for people who we care about - at least for some.

Thank you for these 3 steps. Being aware and visualizing a protective glass/layer can be very helpful, but I don't personally call these individuals "energy vampires; I don't see this connected to Karma or past lives. I believe all human beings are born as innocent children ;then some experience suffering and major traumas that show up as behaviour that may be draining to some of us; one person is not 100% dark and another 100% good. I think if instead of seeing them as inherently bad ("energy vampires"), we have compassion for them and wish them healing, and at the same time be aware, set and maintain healthy and firm boundaries, the world becomes a much better place.

Love these videos! I hope you’re able to make more of these. I’d love to watch the shorts but these kind of long videos give me a better understanding of what’s being said and I love the energy you’re radiating. Please post more! 🩷
Holy moly! This has happened to me my whole life. I can pick up on very subtle energies and the hungry ghosts like my very high level energy. One 2 weeks ago almost left me dead. Yes I have some coworkers and I don't feel happy around them--I just want to get away from them.
I have the same experiences..how do you protect your energy? especially at work..
@@angelslove13 quit...until you find a good one. that's what i'm doing. there's WAY too many toxic ppl in the workplace.
Thank you for creating and posting this. Your video provided the clarity I was seeking on this topic.
Toxic people and toxic environment does drain energy i can notice instantly i want to be around good people thank you so much for sharing of your knowledge
You cannot be hypersensible and have a strong shield at the same time. You can only repel energetic attacks to a certain extent. The best option is always to avoid contact and communication with energetic vampires.
Thank you, Bridget! Very useful ways of avoiding energy stealing. I didn' know about them and no doubt I'll use them. Thanks.
May all the embracing light of the universe be with you.
Good stuff thanks Bridget. I like the glass analogy
Great vid. 100% correct. Reading some of the negative comments( from people who are not in touch with themselves yet-sorry) is a shame. Listen to this woman. Awareness is key... Stop, watch and feel your friends, partner and family members. The look they will give when they know you KNOW may scare you but you'll know it when you see it. A golden egg 6 feet around me protects. I'll make it bigger. Than
Well said….
Thank you for the kind words. Also really like your addition of noticing how they look at you. This is so, so true.
Thank you for sharing 🩷Most people are not aware that they are draining other people's energy. They ego takes over. I feel like callig them an energy vampires is a little bit demonizing and can convey a fearful message to our subconscious. I like to look at those people through the eyes compassion and love 🩷
Agree!!! 👏🏻
I agree that people are not all intentionally 'bad'. But, people know what they are doing when they take from others or continually act out their neediness and attention seeking. There is such a thing as tough love. Stop them at your boundary right from the start. No excuses.
@@magnetdesignandadver thank you for your sharing. Looking at other people with love and compassion doesn't mean not having boundaries and I do agree that we need to say no to what's not serving is however I'm not a fan of demonising anyone. We are all doing our best with what we know. Love always wins 💜
I was born to one of these Evil Vampires! They are Evil!
I just removed another in the last 24 hours since I can spot them.
@@gabrielarybicka3138 Yes, it also comes down to self respect as many of us are empaths and always wanting to help - sometimes out of a need to feel worthy. It is essential to look at our own reasons for giving our energy away and depleting ourselves for the sake of others simply because we can't say no
I would like to thank you deeply for sharing such information to help us with our energy protection. I am going through such situations lately with friend who i knew was narcissist but i never got affected energetically but recently i feel attacked from the same person and and it’s growing but i have started to create boundaries and give back their energy and i can see they are not liking it. Feels like this friendship was here only to teach me how to protect my energy. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! It's never too late to apply this method 💜
Thank you for this. I wasn’t taught this when I was young because I was surrounded by them-FMILY!
Thank you, Bridget. Your words really struck a chord with me, and I just have to tell you that you are absolutely radiant.
Wishing you the best in this holiday season!
Thank you! What a kind thing to say. Very glad this video resonated with you. Have a lovely New Year!
Your page is gonna blow up girl ,because I believe the currency of this time and probably ancient times is energy.❤
Thank you Bridget. My mother in law is just like this, I tried for so long to just cop it on the chin and laugh it off (but felt so hurt inside) after many years of it I started retaliating and she would jab even harder and say I'm walking on egg shells around you. Now she does the same thing to her other kids boyfriends and girlfriends as well as me still. I mostly ignore it and walk away but I feel awful for the new bf and gf, sometimes I stand up for them but I just don't get it. Her kids are like, that's just mum's personality and her humour. I dread seeing her and how she makes me feel.
Hi brooke, thanks so much for sharing. muchlove. :)
are you saying that after you retaliated/stood up for yourself, the mother in law started saying she waa the one walking on eggshells? thanks. :)
@yes-n7h yes, she said she was walking on eggshells because I had a go at her for being rude, nasty. I put her in her place and she didn't like it and she acted like the victim.
My MIL was just like this, and my husband would not allow me to stand up to her -- he became very angry about it. Wish I had known he was such a momma's boy with all loyalty to her and none for me. Should have divorced him immediately.
I understand your regrets. ❤
There are really alot of energy vampires in our society:/ Thanks for the message❤ Subscribed^^
Thank you so much for this content!!! I can think of several people close to me in my life that are energy suckers. My husband and my mother!!! My mother has been unconsciously dimming my bright light all my life. Instead of pent-up anger I now feel sympathy for them. Thank you for making this clear!!!
I noticed when I was with my parents I would have to slump over and protect my stomach. Then I would go home and binge eat. My little soul dog would also go stand by the door because she wanted to go home.
Omg that's me and my dog. It's a horrible feeling.
I just asked God to help me with this exact issue, which somehow keeps following me around on repeat throughout my life. Wherever I go, there they are. Seriously. Even on the bus. Its like I am a magnet. Let's say I laugh of pure joy, suddenly there is an elderly woman just staring at me, with this grumpy look, sighing out lod. And why do I take it in? Because I grew up with a mom doing this constantly, she is like a black hole. Only being able to exist while consuming those around her. I am in no contact with her and trying to heal for years, but these people (usually women) still get to me. I realise, the main reason I am unable to deflect, or just sit in this space when it happens, is cause one small part of me STILL feel like its MY responsibility to "hold space" for this madness. That without me, they will not survive. Truth is, they will survive, but they will have to feel their OWN pain. And since I was a child, apparently it feels "easier" to feel others pain rather than having them go through with it. Cause I don't know if they would survive it, but I know I will.. I can just cry and scream in a different room after....... And recharge... But doing this time and again eats away from my own life. I have no room or energy do pursue anything I wanna do, cause of this cycle of being hurt, purging, being hurt, purging. All to keep this women in their bubble. Second reason is, fear they will leave me. When you say, in that moment where you "caught them in the act" they will naturally wanna get away. THIS is the hardest part for me, this part of me like a baby crying for mom, the minute they leave. Like, what did I do, why did I do that, they just left me! I know its a GOOD thing for them to leave. But I need to understand that this is a good thing subconsciously, and THIS is what is the hardest, THIS is the big lesson. So how to even do that? Wish you had a video further investigating the mechanics of this. Thanks and best
There are multiple things going on here. Idk if youre open to it, but the first book i would suggest you read is called psycho-cybernetics by maxwell maltz which will have some answers for you on why this is a repeating pattern in your life.
An even better and more important book imo is Mind Power into the 21st Century by John Kehoe. That is the best and most simple and clear instructions on how best to proceed.
After that, id recommend you look up neville goddard techniques for revision, which will help you use your imagination to heal past traumas. Theyre not your real life anymore, because they arent happening any more, except its still alive, unresolved, inside your mind, as the memory continues to cause you pain. So if you want to heal from it, end the pain by rewriting the memory of pain, by repeating a new story to yourself.
Another thing if you want to, is to look up self concept techniques.
Both those methods are taught fairly well here on youtube if you want to watch videos about them.
The important thing of the self concept methods, should you choose to do them, and this is extremely important, that your begin to see yourself as ALREADY HEALED. it is DONE. you change your identity as being someone who is ALREADY, COMPLETELY, their best version of themselves.
If you keep the identity of 'someone who needs to heal' your mind will never stop looking for things to heal, you will stay in pain. (this is somewhat explained in the psycho-cybernetics book)
The key of reaching the result that you want, is to keep your mind on the positive result that you want, in the energy of ALREADY HAVING IT, that it is DONE.
It is NOT that you WILL be healed.
It is that YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED, and are right now enjoying the results of this.
These recommendations WILL give you the answers you asked for.
From here onwards, it is up to you to do the actions required to create a new life for yourself. No one but you can rewrite your mind for you.
Another resource you can explore is the sedona method, which is for releasing painful emotions and negative thoughts. They will come up. The sedona method will show you how to let them go as they do.
I wish you the very best and happiest life. Stay strong. You can do this. You have many gifts to share with the world. And then world has many gifts to share with you too.
As far as the old woman....when someone is annoyed at your happiness, just blow them a kiss and a wave and smile. That will annoy them more and make them want to pull away from you.
You articulated this so well, thank you. You brought up a much deeper issue that so many people today are struggling with: the need for love and acceptance from women unable or unwilling to provide it. I'm sorry to hear you experienced this. I'd love to make a video diving into this and have added it to my topic list 💛
❤ Thanks. Yes, I realise more and more that the underlying reason for not being able to just ignore others behaviour is the need for validation or belonging with these same people. To let go of the need to be loved from let’s say your parent, to fully detach from your parent…. Thats a big job
I would call them narcissists. I'm a sigma empath. Whether or not they are 'karmically' doing what they're doing and why, well that's one idea. There's a lot of communication that goes on between individuals, including emotion, feelings, senses, intentions, harmful or helpful, good or bad, etc. And on a deep level too (though not everyone is aware of it). Obviously not everyone is in the same spiritual state. There are many great videos on YT about how to be knowledgeable about narcissists (aka 'energy vampires' etc). Empaths need to learn about them in order to not be overwhelmed by being an empath. It's actually great to be an empath.
Feeling like some one makes you feel like your wrong side out, emotionally is how I describe this.
I'm absolutely exhausted after watching this.
XDD stop with the beer.
😂
You speak right out of my heart! I love the english terminology „behave poorly“ in my mother/father tounge there is no such thing as „poorly behaviour“ in the language. They only say „behave bad“ or „evil“. My Ex Sister and Brother did this frequently with me, because I was closer to my mom then they ever been. I loved my mom much more then them. They never missed a oportunity to punish me!
Sometimes they did a fake compliment and as soon they saw me happy they would tear me down and take the compliment back. Then laugh at me evl. But thats the way I got stoic to compliments!
I'm sorry to hear you went through that. But it's wonderful you learned helpful lessons from the experience like becoming indifferent to compliments 💛
I am so glad RUclips recommended me this video. Very timely and useful information. Essential even.
Thank you! So glad you benefitted from this one. I just wish everyone was taught this as children
This is how I feel after I go out into the marketplace.
Thank you ❤ for some reason I was so touched by your well meaning and kind energy towards the end of the video that I almost cried. This is the first time coming across a video of yours and I will subscribe for sure 💕
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. You have no idea how much it means to me to hear this! Very glad to have you joining us here now 💛
Great content ❤❤❤
We have to create space between event and response thru mindfulness this will help regulate our emotions
Feel the pain accept it and let it drift away like a cloud
How true! Bringing mindfulness into our daily routines is life changing 💛
I think it’s helpful to see that there is a difference between someone who is abusive, and one you dislike. Someone who puts you down in public is abusive, and you shouldn’t get into a relationship with them in the first place. But learning to function around people you dislike might be a place to use your techniques.
can relate to being an empath a giver a great listener and therefore have always attracted people who need and want my time and energy....
I personally don't think energy vampires are that self-aware of what they're even doing...
that's why they're doing it because they're self-absorbed and not self aware....
I've dealt with this my whole life with good friends my mom partners clients....
they're very self-absorbed...
you have to be the one that knows yourself well and learns how to set proper boundaries... the body clues are huge.... lump in your throat pain in your body low back hurting anxious and irritability.....
I'm on a journey right now to learn more about my self in learning to be okay with saying no...
Excellent video and tips about a subject that is far more common than people think. I would add that a daily practice of energetically protecting oneself is almost a must in today's world. Also, watch out for non-corporeal entities leeching your energy as well.
I completely agree, it's a vital part of taking care of ourselves.
I am gladly all alone. Gladly
Thank you Bridget ❤
A few seconds in and I already knew I had to subscribe. Thank you. It’s frustrating to live under the same roof with one. My uncle. He’s very creepy and would try to bump into me whenever I’m walking around the house. He would try to make me aware of his presence as much as possible. It makes me crazy.
Move out as soon as possible and find a good job. I did it.
I'm so glad this resonated with you, and hopefully you can find some relief through these techniques. Thank you for subscribing! 💛
Thanks you this video coming right on time when I started notice one of the messages of one of my family members keep texting me asking me about my dreams project that I started planned. I know immediately that she don't have any good intentions behind her questions. So I immediately go for meditation cause I keep thinking negative all day about her annergy that she send towards me I keep asking God to protect my anergy and asking him for wisdom and this is first time I see your youtube channel amazing how God work for us. Thank you ❤and as I listened of this wisdom I can feel all the negative annergy was Release out of my body thanks you so much ❤️
Meditation is a great step to take, and I'm so happy you're focusing on your protection and asking for divine guidance!
Don’t resist saved my life, i am provoked but I stopped resisting and lowered my guards helped soo much
Thanks to you I was able to put it in practice and now it will become a lifelong tool!!! Very grateful, thank you!
So glad you're already putting these into practice! 💛
i remember this one time i felt completely stuck, like no matter what i did, life just wasn’t moving forward. i tried everything-manifestation journals, vision boards, all that stuff-but it felt like i was missing something. then i stumbled across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it hit different. it wasn’t just about manifesting; it was about understanding the energy i was putting out into the world. honestly, it changed everything. if you’re feeling stuck too, you might want to check out this book.
Thank you beautiful soul
Your info is really a gift as are you !!
Also your voice is so soothing
Thank you for such a lovely note! I'm blown away by how wonderful you all are on here. Glad you've joined us here 💛
@@bridgetborenI am so grateful for you following this path ! The universe loves you and angels are with you light warrior .
You’re so glowy and shiny !!!✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✨
Thank you Bridget for this reading! Just coming out of a very painful cycle. I now got to start my healing journey. I have my Dad's Anniversary next week and I in more recent years was on palliative care for my Mum. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Thank you again and respect! 🤗🥰
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and dad. Stay strong and treat yourself with love as you heal 💛
@bridgetboren Thank you! 🤗🥰 as everyday I face a new challenge and everyday I get up and face it alone. I just thank God that I am still here. And even though I am tired, exhausted and forgetful at times he is always there! Amen! 🙏
Bridget can drain me all she want. All jokes aside, this video has applicable intel that I implemented today and it feels good to be in control of my anxiety around others that try to make me angry or even raise my voice and change my mood. Thanks
Here is a different way of thinking about this topic and I would like to know what you are thinking about it. For me, on a spirituell level, we are all one and deeply connected. I believe, we just feel, how the other person is feeling. If we feel bad about ourself in a toxic way, when we meet this person, we probably feel how they feel normally. If we are in a room with someone who loves themself, or with someone who is not loving themself, maybe because of many really bad experiences in the past. We will feel it for sure. Not because they are vampires, but because they lacke being loved in their environment and were actually emotionally traumatized. Therefor these people love to be around someone who loves themself, so they can feel the love they are missing. I have this image of a huge monster, but when it gets loved, it actually becomes what it is, smaller and smaller, till there is a crying child or baby who needs to be loved. ❤ we are all one. And we are all an essentiell part of the devine universe. There is nothing inherent bad. Even though i totally know this kind of experience. Would like to know your thoughts. 🙏
greatly appreciate and I enjoy the vibe you give off as it feels like you are genuine in what your talking about and I agree you have a strong essence about you as well. You can tell you practice what you preach, I appreciate the tips it was very helpful
What a sweet note, thank you! That truly means a lot 💛
If you are really aware of yourself and your energy(if it is really special) you can deal with low vibrations without running from people ...I've met people believing they have a special energy level and trying to run from people struggling to put on a smile...when you are affraid of your energy level, that can't be high,fear and worry are very low vibrational.So if there are others believing that they are "special"and running from others,stay calm you're not that special.High vibrational people don't worry and don't carry fear,they are stable and ready to help and trasnform,not "deflect"
Great teachings. Thanks for sharing ❤
So glad you found it helpful! 💛
Experience says it all more than even reading about it. This can happen too energetically and if your a natural empath, these steps are definitely worth considering.
Hello Ms. Bridget. You have a radiant smile and a beautiful pair of dark sapphires for eyes. I will honestly try to incorporate your wisdom into my everyday life, even though it is difficult to become enlightened even with the help of Buddha's advice, as they notoriously say.
Never heard of the “hungry ghost” but it makes sense cause I always tell myself “you have to learn how to live with ghosts”
Thank you so much , i am beware of people who steal all of my energy
Thank you for this video Bridget!🎉❤ I will put these lessons to use!
So glad to hear it! Wishing you the best in your journey.
Thank you! Would love a video about expanding our own aura!
Wonderful suggestion! I've added this to my video list 💛
I highly doubt these energy vampires are even aware that they are in fact energy vampires. If in fact they are born into this life like this, then it makes sense that they would then feel the same draining, sadness, anxiety that a lot of people feel these days. The world is crazy. As an empath, I understand the necessity to protect myself each day. But, I can do so while going through life without judgment. As we are all here on a path. A path we signed a contract to uphold, before even being born. Some of us were braver than others in choosing a very painful existence, to evolve our souls. So, you can lable others, but then turn the mirror around and see some ugly truths & reflections of your own as well.
This!! I don’t think they know or intentionally drain your energy. They just notice they feel better around you.
Thank you. :) Sometimes over eating is a big clue. They twist your words and say it in a way that puts you down. It is a baiting tactic to make you chase their validation.
How true! Thanks for adding this.
girl... you are a QUEEN ❤
💛💛💛💛
Love this vid .Thank you so much Bridget. It is going in my tool belt and i love the point you made about ones own energy being used to make our own big beautiful life , Gods blessing and gift to us. I believe very much in the body mind connection .I have some medical issues and i try to be aware as part of self nurturing how in my many years now that things like anemia , thyroid, voice , heart murmmer, dry eyes, paleness etc ! i know these things are in some way associated with vampirism.Even through awareness it one must continue to strive for that big life and blessings.Thank you for your wisdome here.Going in my tool belt. XXXXXXX
Love to hear you'll be using these techniques! Keep the strength of your heart alive no matter the conditions or health issues... you're born for big things 💛
Step 1 of 1: Don’t stay a vibrational match to a reality where it seems like other people can drain your energy.
There is nothing like that existing. No one can drain your energy - only YOU can do that.
Believe me, been there, done that. Remember your power!
You are the Creator of your own reality. If you think it is necessary to learn skills to set boundaries they will only be reflected as a vibrational match to: gimme more situations where boundaries are necessary.
Better learn about frequencies and how they work, this is a vibrational universe, you attract your outer world with the vibration you send out. Learn to understand what is reflected to you and why. Then learn to (simply) shift your vibration, your emotional frequency and the world can only reflect what you are a vibration to.
Everything good is yours already!
So now you know. 😘
What a lovely energy, from your voice tone, wisdom and beauty ✨❤️✨Thank you for the content, sending love🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for the kind words! Sending love back to you!
I really appreciate these message ,I thought I was going crazy, thank you ❤.
You're so beautiful by the way 🎉
So glad it's helpful for you! 💛
divinely guided message! thank u
Thank you dear this was great ❤
Thank you,
..lol I got so angry listening to this - because I can still sense the connection energy vampire people have with me, and the "missing parts" of myself. Phew... I get angry a lot and then I eat/smoke a bit, I just wish I would heal already from all this and get all my energy back and maintain it. I wish to not be angry all the time and just move on. Again, thank you. If you would have a "super thank" option I would've sent you $ with this, just so you know.
P.s.
You reminded me of the Queen of Swords in Tarots.
🙂
I have watched tons of videos but this is the best
That means so much, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Great video!!!!!!
Perfect timing … thank you ❤
Madam, you are an Earth Angel 😇🎉😊
These are great ways to battle humans that steal energy!
Hi new subscriber here, as an empath who lives with an energy vampire, I found these tips useful. I will try to put them to use.
So glad you'll be trying the techniques out! (And thank you for subscribing!) 💛
As an empath by definition you catch everything, even the slightest trigger, so you can't defend yourself, you should dodge vampires as much as possible.
@MattMotivation it is both a blessing and a curse!
thank you for this wounderful video.. i needed it just came in time... GOD bless you... you are an angel.
So glad it's helpful for you! 💛
Thanks for sharing important guidelines Blessings
Love and bliss, thank you Bridget.
Bless you, lady ❤
The office thingy you mentioned is so so true .
Thank you Bridget
You're very welcome! So glad you found it helpful
Thank you for sharing this skill sister!!!
Love you all family,
Po
Thankyou for such an important video! 🌺🌺
that was very enlightening thanks for sharing
This "psychic protection" (Ted Andrews has a book with that name) may be very good for the more "piscean" (astrological zodiac sign) folks. I got no major planets in Pisces, but will still watch and listen this carefully, to see if anything good pops up for me.
And, after having watched this video now, I feel this is very beneficial info for me. Certainly something to act on and not just forget about. Thank you!
Very helpful thanks for sharing
Thank you for the great video! I am wondering other people’s thoughts on this specific topic: I used to grow my aura out far when I first started intentionally shielding myself, the people around me, and spaces. Overtime, though, I started to intentionally draw my aura in closer to my body for the purpose of not allowing as many people and entities to pass within my auric field (along with casting out lower vibrational entities).
As someone who defines as a psychic, this has helped so much in reclaiming my own mind, heart, power, behavior, and emotions.
What are people’s thoughts on casting a wide aura or keeping your energy field closer to yourself?
yes, depends on the situation and your own energy levels. adjust as needed.
I love how authentic your videos are❤❤❤
Happy new year
Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well! 🙏😊
@bridgetboren 🥰
Excellent video and you explained the topic so well. Subscribed.❤
Thank you! So glad you've joined us here 💛
Great video leading into the Christmas Holidays. Thank you Bridget 🙏🏻
We could all use more energetic protection this time of year! Have a lovely holiday season.
Great and useful video Bridget
This was great, thank you!
This is exactly the same thing I noticed, took a while!! But I swear it only started at a particular time. Thank you so much for this. I was being put to sleep like a narcoleptic. I have a consistent spot on my scapular and it just moved to the right side and some on the spine.
Can you elaborate on this? It happens to me too.
