Basics of Energy Feeding

Many vampires, including newly awakened psi vamps and more experienced sanguine vamps, often ask "How do I feed on energy?" Unfortunately there is no short answer, but I will share some of the beginning techniques that helped me learn.

The most important part is visualization. Your body is already trying to absorb energy to make up for the deficiency that defines vampirism. You only need to learn how to properly control the process. The first method I was taught is to visualize a flexible straw, tendril, or some other form of connection that extends out from your heart and connects you to a source of energy. This is often another person, but it could also be an elemental or natural source. Then imagine sucking the energy through the straw, into your heart. This is kind of like drinking, or it may feel like 'inhaling' emotionally. You should be able to feel energy flowing, but even if you cannot, don't give up. It takes a lot of practice to become adept at energy feeding, but eventually it will be as naturally as breathing.

It is important to note that the connection is not a deep one. You will only be siphoning from the outer layer of a person's energy. This is the easiest and safest way to feed, and you will avoid draining anyone too much. When you are finished, imagine pulling the flexible straw back into yourself, so you can use it again next time. This technique is powerful because it gives you a direct one-on-one link with a person or source of energy, without becoming entangled. As long as you can see your target, you can use this method, although I find it is easier the closer I am.

The next technique I will talk about is for ambient energy feeding. I use this one when I am in a crowded and high-energy environment. It is very easy. If you are affected with vampirism and needing energy, there will be a huge difference between you energy state (low) and the energy in the air around you (high). All you have to do is open the barrier and let the energy pour in. Imagine yourself as an empty glass submerged in a pool of water, and feel the rush of energy as it fills you up.

These methods work for me, and they are a good starting point for most people. The more you practice, the easier it will get, and the more aware you will become of your own energy and the energy around you. Once you begin to really feel the flow of energy, you will no doubt refine these methods, or discover new ones that work best with your own personal energy needs. Remember, every one is unique, and the best way to learn is to practice and experiment on your own.
