THERE ARE certain people – may be co-workers, relatives, friends, neighbours or anybody with whom you are directly or indirectly in contact-who are like happiness leeches sucking you dry of your energy with their bad vibes and piercing words in turn

TODAY WE are living in a fast paced world where everyone’s endeavour is to match up with time. In doing so, we have no other option than to be energetic by any means. However there are certain people – may be co-workers, relatives, friends, neighbours or anybody with whom you are directly or indirectly in contact - who are like happiness leeches sucking you dry of your energy with their bad vibes and piercing words in turn showing you with their own negativity, dark outlook and petty grievances using their own lack of self assurance leaving you covered with annoyance, frustrations and destitute of their misery. They in general bang down everyone else insight and natter only “what’s wrong” instead of “what’s right”.

These are the people for whom the proverbial glass is always “half empty”. Infact they are so depressing so noxious that they not only miss the rainbow after a rainy day but they also miss the splendour of the rainy day itself. Everybody ‘of course’ would like to be away from such people but the fact is they are an inevitable part of the life. However even though it is not viable to avoid such energy vampires, we can defend ourselves from their desolate world view and pessimism and embrace life without depressive interruptions.

Positive Energy Shield- positive energy is like a perfectly alignment of emotion, thoughts and behaviour for e.g. a dinner party full of like minded people whose thoughts intellect and conversation match your own ,where there is no threat of being dragged into the under current of jealousy, enmity or bitterness. There is only the feeling of inspiration. To guard ourselves from being falling into the victim of a negative trigger visualize yourself being encircled by a protective shield which is active but in a dimmer switch and would be up full force and activated to the optimal brilliance in a lackluster situation. You can entrap yourself by the power force of golden vibes and protective love – when you feel the need. Though we cannot see this protecting light we can sense it.

This is also defensive to our own unconstructive “voices”- the ones we were not good enough, smart enough, and talented enough to fit into certain situations and resulted into some negative accounts in our life. The voices of self doubt in general cannot be overlooked, so just tell them to “be quite”- then you are in control not them. If you allow them into you, your creativity is out of the window.

Bad vibe protection is the most vital part of life else our own subtle energy become inactive and weigh us down. Aside from the energy shield we must learn to submit ourselves to the “truth within us” (The Atman”) so that we can pursue our accurate life path. So just breathe out negativity and inhale positivity consciously. Besides we should always be in a process of gripping loving energy-which could be the unconditional cuddle of your mother, the innocent love of your child as it cozy up to you or the sound of voices joining in accord in a spiritual gathering.

Even though we are in all these processes still we become the quarry of murky sentiments. Humour is the best option to alleviate them. Also remember to vanquish your own fears by liberating yourself from repugnance. Identify your limitations, face them, embrace them, and then say good bye to them. Trust your spirit about danger and choose your actions astutely. Besides these “feel good advices” use common sense, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and commune with nature.

Energy begets energy. This is a reflection of physiology but also explains emotions. What you give out is what you receive. So send out enough positivity, you may compel it into the negative person’s shield and wind up helping them as well.

Now wouldn’t that be great!!
