A day or so after the event, several people were uneasy, they were reporting feeling depleted, sad and even I had experienced an odd occurance while doing a journey. Since then, things have been very quiet, flat almost....
Hello Millie. I have had a similar thing happen, just the once in the multiple person thing... It was interesting, because I knew that the woman doing the sap-sucking had attempted to probe more deeply into my being than she'd been invited to...
It happened at the first ever Spiritual Wellbeing festival I'd attended, about 12 years ago, but i remember the energy all too well. We only crossed paths in close physical proximity the once, in an 'arch of positivity' type thing, where all participants walking between two rows of people forming an arch were hugged or offered words of encouragement or uplift... It was just a feel-good, circle-closing exercise, as most were leaving that day, with but a handful of us staying on for an additional workshop.
Anyway, during my walk through the arched line, this woman made a bee line straight for my third eye, locking onto mine with her own, and I swear I felt most brutally invaded... (physically, spiritually, emotionally... every which way!)
The most distressing thing about this was what I'd witnessed the only other time that I had laid eyes on her, just the night previous ... I was heading back to my dorm after a Life-changing sweatlodge, but had detoured via the main hall as I'd promised a new acquaintance that I'd catch up with her there.
What a change from the sacred space I had just been in... I quietly entered the hall, to witness this woman doing a kundalini rising dance, and almost all the people in the hall not simply applauding, but becoming really quite fixated on her, and then chanting her name out loud as though she were a Pharoah or a rock superstar... I felt my energy shrink... I'd been infused with an amazing energy in the sweatlodge... partly due to the gift it offered me, and partly due to the physical/spiritual cleansing I'd been through... so I initially thought that my body slumping quietly to the ground was only a side-effect of the heat and etc, but I felt very nauseous, almost paralysed and, more importantly, nauseated, watching people 'lose' themselves to this woman. That is precisely what it felt like... as though each person was throwing his/her Self away through adoration to her.
I'm not sure if the third eye thing would have happened during the arch walk had I not already had the emotional etc response that I'd had the previous night... Perhaps she felt my vibe the previosu night and wanted to understand why I hadn't succumbed to her charms... I felt her energy to be repugnant... truly quite vile... and when she did the third eye thing... whooooooohhh... Horrible... truly intrusive.
After having been on a high all weekend (remembering that this was my first ever full immersion into 4 days of Spiritfest
), I felt grotty, with a heavy energy...
It was interesting that the next day, when only the handful of people who had stayed on for the Pranic Healing workshop, were left, I was introduced to the very technique that helped me clear the putrid energy left by my brush with that woman. As it happened, in that small group of stayers, there were others who had felt the same un-ease whilst watching her dance/watching her audience behave as it did. None had had the same incident re the third eye vampiring, but they felt things were definitely not right with the audience response...
Whilst doing introductory Pranic healing/claering exercises, we were shown that the aura is not simply the clearly defined egg-shape, but that there are numerous Health Rays radiating out all around the circumference of the aura, much like the spokes/rays you see raditaing out from the sun. Our intsructor had us first scan our partner's aura, and then do an overall 'brush down' or sweeping of the aura, sweeping away the debris and using whichever technique feels authentic to deal with the residual energy. (I visualise a small cauldron into which I carefully place the swept and collected dirtied energy, letting a fire of pale green-white Light clear it away. My teacher used a physical bowl of salt water... ).
Having rescanned and checked that the dirgy energy had been cleared, we then 'teased out' drooping Health Rays... Usually, these rays stand essentially upright, or, to be more precise, when you follow the line of the aura's circumference around the body, they radiate out at the same type of angle as above-mentioned Sun's rays... (sort of perpendicular to the particular arc of the aura that they happen to emerge from). In depressive states, or where the aura has been attacked, these rays droop, so gently teasing them back up to their orignal position returns the person to greater balance and wellbeing. It is to be done gently, as too rough a treatment, or manipulating them too 'upward', can cause some chaos and muddle... So, gently tease the Health Rays back to their regular position.
When that is done to your satisfaction (ie, a quick scan 'feels' right), visualise your aura/the aura of the person you are assisting, as a complete and closed unit again. We were given a sky-cobalt blue egg shape as an ideal... Visualise the egg outline as complete... If there are any holes or thin patches, energetically build them up by using your energy-hands to follow your vision and fill in the reduced/weaker areas. Once the aura feels healthy and complete, use your energy hands to create a 'seal' which strengthens the aura.
This is a remedial exercise... I know some people shun 'bubbles' etc, but this is a very gentle exercise which can be readily done for oneself, or for a friend in need, which simply supports the aura, as the aura is the first line of defense, yes? (They say dis-ease manifests first in the etheric layers until, if left unattended, it manifests in the physical...) On that occasion, it was wonderful how ease-fully I felt cleansed after that yucky episode with the kundalini 'goddess'.
Generally, I don't rely on such measures as protection, in terms of fortifying my aura etc... I prefer to simply fill up the auric space with love and joy, and all things good, and I feel perfectly safe in there
. If you do feel as though you have been impacted by someone's energetic dross, though, this is a lovely way to gently clear it... or just as a gentle pick me up... You can help others either face to face or remotely, using exactly the same procedure, but remotely (with recipient's permission, of course)
. So, in a nutshell, many of those who felt the ickiness of what had hapened with that woman were present the following day and we all shared the healing/clearing process. I honestly don't know if those who indulged in hero-worship behaviour actually felt any imbalance after the fact, but they were certainly running with her enrgy on the night in question, so maybe their energy was more in synch., or maybe they just weren't sensitive to her rottier energy.
Another very long Linnie post... Well...my intentions are worthy
(((((((hug)))))))
I tried to post this just then, but had timed out and had to relogin and find this thread... just noticed your response, Millie, re sort of being watched, which makes me think this would be especially good to do...
As Eco74 mentioned "with energy vampires near you - they can only drain your energy as long as you let them." ... If your aura is intact, whatever it is cannot come peeping without your permission
