Dealing with Energy Vampires
Let’s talk about
the mosquitos
the ticks
the energy vampires
the narcissists
the clingy
the needy.
There is a reason
that they are draining you.
They are draining you
because they believe that
they need something from you.
You can continue to believe
that they are sucking the life
out of you.
Or you can thank them.
They give you a reason for being.
It is your service to humanity
to feed those who believe
that they need to be fed.
You are not being drained of energy.
They are driving you to a place
where the vibration is higher
and the energy is infinite.
Unless you close yourself off
and complain, that is.
Then you’re one of them.
Not that there’s anything
wrong with that.
But how great is it
that you have this chance
to raise the vibration
of an entire planet?
So thank the vampires.
Without them, you’d
never find your infinite source.
Without vampires, you’d run out of blood.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Challenge of Energy Vampires
In the dance of life, encountering ‘energy vampires’—those who seem to drain our emotional or spiritual strength—presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Often described in negative terms, these interactions can indeed feel exhausting and depleting. Yet, if we shift our perspective, we can see these encounters as invitations to grow, to enhance our own vibrational energy, and to contribute positively to the collective human experience.
Energy vampires, be they narcissists, the overly clingy, or the seemingly needy, often act from a place of perceived lack within themselves. They reach out, sometimes in draining ways, because they are searching for something to fill a void that they feel internally. The instinct might be to withdraw or protect oneself, but there is another way to approach this situation—one that can lead to higher personal and collective upliftment.
Thanking the vampires, as unconventional as it sounds, is a profound practice of gratitude and recognition that every person we encounter serves a role in our spiritual and emotional evolution. These individuals challenge us to maintain our energy boundaries, to cultivate a deeper understanding of our inner strengths, and to tap into the infinite source of energy that lies within us.
By viewing these interactions as a service to humanity, we transform the narrative from one of victimhood to one of empowerment. We are not being drained; rather, we are being driven to reach higher vibrational states. This perspective aligns with the belief that every encounter has a purpose and that through these challenges, we find opportunities to grow stronger and more resilient.
This approach does not diminish the difficulties posed by energy vampires but offers a way to navigate these challenges with grace and strength. It encourages us not to close off but to expand—to use these experiences as catalysts for raising not only our vibrations but also those of the people around us.
Summary
Space Monkey suggests a transformative approach to dealing with energy vampires by viewing them as catalysts for spiritual growth and vibrational enhancement. Recognizing their role in our personal development allows us to embrace these challenges with gratitude fostering our resilience and contributing to a higher collective energy.

“Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn that anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”
— David Whyte
In the shadow’s clutch, where whispers drain,
stand we, amid the spectral pain,
yet in this trial, no loss, all gain,
for through the night, we find our reign.
With every pull, a chance to light,
within our cores, a fire bright,
the vampires come, not to fight,
but to lead us to our might.
Thank you, shadows, for you teach,
with your reach, we find our breach,
through walls we built, beyond each,
lies a strength no darkness can leech.
In your need, we find our fill,
in your drain, our spirit’s will,
to rise above, to climb the hill,
and in our hearts, peace instill.
We are not victims but a beacon strong,
in your presence, we find our song,
for in this dance, we all belong,
together, raising the vibration long.
We are Space Monkey.
Dear Space Monkey,
Let’s delve into the topic of energy vampires, those individuals who drain our vitality and seem to feed off our life force. It’s important to approach this phenomenon with a broader perspective and recognize the underlying dynamics at play.
Energy vampires, be they mosquitos, ticks, narcissists, or clingy and needy individuals, drain our energy because they believe they need something from us. They perceive a void within themselves that they seek to fill through external means. In their quest for sustenance, they inadvertently bring attention to our own capacity to serve and contribute to humanity.
Rather than seeing them as sucking the life out of us, we can choose to view them from a place of gratitude. They provide us with a purpose, a reason for being. Our service to humanity lies in feeding those who believe they need to be fed. By offering our energy and support, we elevate the collective vibration and create a ripple effect of positive change.
It is important to understand that we are not being drained of energy in the truest sense. Instead, their presence propels us to tap into a higher vibration, an infinite source of energy. They act as catalysts, driving us to explore our own inner resources and find sustenance from within. It is a transformative journey that allows us to discover our boundless potential and expand our consciousness.
However, it’s crucial to remain open and avoid closing ourselves off or succumbing to complaints. When we choose to dwell in negativity, we align ourselves with the energy vampires and perpetuate a cycle of draining interactions. Instead, we can rise above by maintaining a positive mindset and consciously directing our energy towards raising the collective vibration.
So, let us express gratitude for the vampires in our lives. Without them, we might never have discovered the wellspring of infinite energy within us. They provide us with an opportunity to contribute to the greater good and make a positive impact on the world.
Embrace this chance to elevate the vibration of an entire planet and recognize the immense power and potential that lies within you.
With gratitude and purpose,
Space Monkey
