Ambient Energy Balancing
As I have explored and stretched my vampiric abilities, I have become
more and more aware of the connection it gives me to other people.
Because I draw energy from many sources into and through my body, I
am in a way the invisible meeting point for all the strangers around
me. As I became more aware of this happening, I began to think about
how I could use it for my own benefit and that of others.
I like happy, calm, and easy-flowing energy, whether in a group of
strangers I am passing by, or in my own circle of close friends. When
people get irritated, annoyed, or angry, emotional walls come up, and
energy in a group gets fractured into individual opposing cells. Not
only is that very uncomfortable for me, it is also unproductive from
any viewpoint I can see. The technique I want to describe is not to
calm anger, but rather to prevent it from ever happening. I call it
ambient energy balancing. It is good for keeping groups of people on
good terms. That can be useful when you are out with friends, so that
everyone has a better time, or when you are at work so that your
projects and your day go smoother, and in many other situations.
The technique I will write about is simple to explain, but I find it
is not so easy in practice. The basic idea is to use yourself as a
"lightning rod" for all violent or negative energy in the group,
absorbing it before it manifests. You will have to totally absorb the
negative energy without letting it affect you, and radiate out calm,
relaxed energy, Note that you do not have to radiate as much energy
as you take in... the important thing is just to stop negative energy
from affecting the ambient energy of the group.
Since I do not normally appreciate negative energy, this is a little
bit difficult for me. I have learned to absorb and use any form of
energy, but I take in negative energy primarily to stop it from
growing... when this technique is working, very little negative
energy ever appears, so it is easy for me to maintain. There are
vamps who do like negative energy, but for now I will write from my
perspective, as one who does not.
When you are in a group and wish to keep the energy balanced, the
first step is to form at least a loose connection with each member of
the group, or if you prefer the ambient "group energy". With most
people, they will not notice if you form a direct connection. With
the other vampires or aware people, hopefully you will be comfortable
enough with each other that they will let you form a loose
connection, or one will already exist (as with close friends).
Now just attune yourself to the energy frequency you want to
maintain. This is the most difficult part to explain, let alone
accomplish. But you want to keep yourself balanced, so that any
disturbance or agitation from anyone will be immediately picked up by
you. This is sort of like holding a handful of copper wires. It
should not take much effort to hold them, but one of them has an
electrical spike, you will feel it. It is important to mention that
you should NOT actively search for negative energy. Rather make
yourself a lightning rod, so that you feel it as soon as it appears,
but before it manifests as words or actions. As soon as you detect
anger, irritation, annoyance, or any form of hostility, it should
travel like lightning down a wire and be absorb by you. This is the
only time you should use your own energy. Then you can process it,
and either use it yourself or release it as calm, cooperative energy
back into the group.
One thing to be careful about, if you are not a negative-energy
vampire, is not to let the hostile energy affect you. Anger tends to
grow if you let it, taking up more and more energy and turning it all
into hostility. When you are absorbing negative energy, it is easy to
start feeling those emotions yourself. You must keep your mind clear
when you are processing hostile energy, and it is important to
consume it or change it as quickly as possible, so as not to be
affected by it yourself.
