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.
