Summer & The Heat

Keeping the body cool in the summer is hard to do, unless you sit in the house near an air conditioner all day. But, what kind of life is that? Now I am very affected by the heat. I feel as though I am melting. I am an Elemental vampire, but the sun energy is just too much. I take only day light energy, not directly from the sun. I do not have an air conditioner in my car, so I hate to go out in the heat, and drive around.

I have animals, which I must keep cool as well, so I have to go out in the heat again. What's a vampire to do? I know others relate to the affects of the sun, and heat. The heat affects my moods horribly. Imagine feeling suffocated, thirsty, and dizzy at the same time. Then to feel as though all your energies are leaking right out of your body, with all the water dripping from your head. I have had to find ways to cool down.

Ways to keep from loosing your own energies, and if you’re dealing with age, or working even harder to maintain your balances. There are only a few things I have found to work for me. They are not pretty by any means, but it keeps me cool while I'm out in the heat. I wet a towel with ice-cold water, and wrap it around my neck. I also take about every 20 min to wipe off my feet, with cold water, or put them in cold water. If I can keep from losing my cool temperature while outside, I can keep from getting negative, bitchy, overheated, and drained. In the summer, you must take time to cool off. - even a mister is great. Being a firm believer in the zodiac and how signs are ruled, I believe my moods are improved with water, being my element is water. It is funny how quickly water can improve things. Some things are so natural. This is indeed a welcomed element in which to immerse myself.

Well the above things have helped me with dealing with heat, the sun, etc. It is not a fix mind you. I don't think any person living with vampirism can be truly protected, and balanced when outside, even with a hat, or sunglasses, The heat kills. Stay cool in this last half of summer. I pray for cool days. Not cold. That's a whole another story
