Rejuvenate Your Body:
Out of the blue you feel lethargic and drained. Something is not quite right.
You begin recall what happened throughout your day. You suddenly realize you were zapped by an energy vampire (person, place or situation). You need to do something quick to flick off the negative vibes that are sticking to your energy fields.
Over the years I’ve relied on a few very easy and not too weird ways to dissolve those yucky negative vibes and bring harmony back to my body.
I’m sharing my top 4 with you today in the list below.
Most solutions work in an instant whilst some require a little more time. It all depends on the intensity of the energy vampire. A lengthy 1 hour conversation on the phone with a distressed friend that literally sucks the life force out of you will require a little more time like soaking in a salt water bath or having a cold shower.
You can support your friend and be there for your friend but when you get emotionally and energetically connected to their situation you welcome that energy into your own personal space.
Energy Vampires Come in Many Disguises:
They can be found in people, places or situations. Often they are obvious and other times not so obvious. They can be found in friends, family, work colleagues, shop assistants, shopping centers, on the TV, in the newspaper, on the other end of the phone, on the internet, busy cities and of course the list goes on. The trick is to keep your “energy vampire” antenna up all the times and become consciously aware of places, people and situations that don’t match your own vibrations.
There are of course times when we just can’t avoid an energy vampire situation and thats when the list below will come in handy.
Either way we are part of a world made up of a mixture of vibrations both high and low. So in times when we find ourselves unwillingly zapped by energy vampires it’s a great idea to flick off their negativity as soon as we encounter them before our wellbeing is effected.
1. Smile to clean away the dirty energy:
“Smile with face, smile with mind and good energy will come to you and clean away dirty energy. Even smile in your liver. You can call the good energy with a smile.” Ketut Kiyer Balinese Healer.
Smile on your face. Lift the corners of your mouth up, feel your face muscles relax, notice the lightness that now flows to your eyes, the frown that disappears and the joy that now fills your entire face.
Send that smiling energy deep into your body, your organs, your fingers, arms, legs and feet. Feel your lungs smile, your liver smile, your kidneys smile and your heart smile. If any part of your body resists be patient as the smiling energy will eventually be able to dissolve the blockage.
This whole process should take no more than a few minutes and only a little longer if parts of your body are resisting.
2. Cold shower:
As scary as a cold shower may sound it is highly effective. My grandmother took one each day.
Cold water has the ability to clear away any negativity that sits in your energy body (aura). Cold water spins the chakras and forces them to let go of anything they may be holding onto.
Cold showers extract toxins from the body and draws tension away from the body. You do not need to get your hair wet but make sure you include the energy spot at the back of your neck.
Swimming in the ocean has exactly the same effect.
3. Salt bath:
If you don’t have an ocean nearby then bring the ocean to you. It is well known the cleansing and uplifting benefits of swimming in the ocean.
To duplicate the ocean in your home simply fill your bath and add 1/2 cup of sea salt or rock salt. Soak for at least 10 minutes to deeply cleanse any negativity.
Of course you are welcome to add essential oils or crystals if you are that way inclined like me. The more the merrier I say.
4: Chakra cleansing meditation:
Daily negativity can cling and linger in the energetic field of your chakra’s. By regularly cleansing and balancing your chakra’s you are honouring your holistic wellbeing. I can highly recommend if you are keen to understand more about chakras at a very deep level then visit Caroline Myss, medical intuitive where she explains the emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of all your chakra’s and why we attract illness.
Of all the chakra cleansing meditations that I have used over the years I must say I have consistently come back, time and time again to Doreen Virtue’s Chakra Clearing CD:
What can I say, it simply works. Particularly for those heavy duty energy vampires. It takes around 20 minutes and gives you many opportunities to disconnect and release any unpleasant or unwanted experiences you may have encountered during the day.

Cold showers sounds really scary, but they are surprisingly effective!
Sometimes merely the though of one is enough to scare away the cobwebs
These are very useful tips. I agree about the positive effects of Doreen Virtue’s CD.
I would add a walk in or other experiences in nature are also very effective, especially when one meditates and breathes deeply.
