Yawning and vampirism

[CalmChaos]

Every night around the same time (and sometimes at random moments during the day or night) I begin to yawn. I started to notice more that when I do it I'm thinking of someone else and feeling a bit anxious. Could it be a form of energy vampirism? Maybe they are thinking badly of me or in close proximity of me and somehow draining my energy? If so, how do you protect yourself? Is being aware of it and putting up a protective shield enough? Or should more be done?

Yawning can be due to anxiety. It used to happen to me when I was little.  I know that it can be due to the need to release. Maybe you need to release stress and that's why your mouth keeps opening.  It is also not okay to hold it back when you are yawning. Because you are closing your mouth - which means that you are running away from something. You need to face it heads on.

 

If you feel anxiety which means that is something else is bothering you, something about that person makes you fearful/scared deep inside.

 

Also, energetic vampires can be recognized on the other things. Usually you feel very tired and exhausted after being with them.. but then again I am talking from my experience. Energetic vampires never give anything in a return. They only take.

Wow I never thought of it that way [it being anxiety related]. Interesting to know that. However, when I mentally say to myself and this perceived other entity, "This is my energy-- you're not welcome here!" I've noticed that I stop yawning and I also stop feeling tired almost immediately. So do you still think it's a good thing? I'm more inclined to say it's some weird vampirism simply because I feel better and more alert and awake when I mentally force it to stop.

 

I don't think that there's anything wrong with yawning, really. :) I think that's how do you release the energy. Usually we associate yawning with the word "boring" (other than sleepy), right? And we usually would rather do something than that bothers us. So it makes me think that deep down there's something what's bothering you and you need to let it go. Don't be afraid that it may go on for a couple of days - that's the way it's cleaning out from you.

 

Usually when something bothers us - it constantly plays over and over in our heads, if it's not mind - then our organism stresses it. Your body may also show that you are being called to the problem and that you need to face it.  Like for an example, something about that "someone else" makes you nervous and it triggers that in you.

 

I know that yawning can be also associated with the anxiety (as I speak about it from the first-hand experience but anxiety comes to everyone in the different ways). I usually think of the anxiety as the spiritual meaning as in "not trusting the flow and the process in life". Maybe there's something that you don't trust about this person? Maybe there's something about their energies that frightens you in some way and that's why it makes you feel that way? Or your body is unsure about something and it's telling that way to you to back down?

 

After I replied to you I even went on to google about what's the spiritual meaning of the yawning (because I couldn't help but feel curious about it myself and how other people may interpret it). I found  this article where it says "Yawning helps wipe away fear, and so you may find yourself yawning in situations where you are unsure or when you are out of your comfort zone". This is the article I'm talking about, by the way: https://elizabethperu.com/blog/2015/7/18/the-secret-of-yawning

Awesome information, Reine. Thank you for the article. It was an interesting read.

In Japan if you yawned it would be considered offensive and either you would be severely reprimanded and/or even fired.

 

What we take for granted in Western society.

Eye contact is another cultural issue as well. Was talking about this the other day to someone.

Every night around the same time (and sometimes at random moments during the day or night) I begin to yawn. I started to notice more that when I do it I'm thinking of someone else and feeling a bit anxious. Could it be a form of energy vampirism? Maybe they are thinking badly of me or in close proximity of me and somehow draining my energy? If so, how do you protect yourself? Is being aware of it and putting up a protective shield enough? Or should more be done?

 

The point that I'm drawn to CalmChaos is this: "I started to notice more that when I do it I'm thinking of someone else and feeling a bit anxious". 

Yawning sometimes, is our body's way of attempting to get more oxygen in (including when you're tired :) ). You can tie this in with the anxiety explanation - because our natural reaction to anxiety/tension is to breath less or more shallowly...(as you unconsciously try to make yourself "smaller" in reaction to the threat), and move less as well - which then results in even more anxiety, as such action encourages the sympathetic nervous system of the body into play (the part of one's nervous system that operates the release of adrenaline and cortisol - stress hormones that help with "fight/flight/freeze reactions).

So if you're yawning a lot and think it's not necessarily tiredness - stretch, move around, and take some deep breaths.

 

Energetic vampires most of the time are unaware that they actually are. It's a type of "needy" person really. And with these people (as has been noted) you may find that whilst and after you are with them - you feel drained/tired.

A "protective shield" exercise (of which there are numerous) can be helpful - as well as just realising WHERE YOU END AND THE OTHER PERSON begins - and therefore not allowing yourself to get too deeply drawn into their drama, keeping detached and maybe even enforcing the physical boundaries of moving away from them at some point ("I've enjoyed our conversation but so sorry - have to go now as I've got X to do". "Jane - you have so many ideas arriving all at once you are quite exhausting :) - I need a rest now... I'm off to go and do X"  etc. etc. etc.)

 

Your practice of "This is my energy - you're not welcome here" - may be effective because you have successfully screened someone else off by bolstering your own "Aura"- and/or including all sorts of other energetic pollution factors. And/Or it could also be that these are the words and ideas that allow you to ground yourself and come back to your centre to feel more peaceful.

Belief is the key.  I believe in belief.  :)

Tanga, that makes a lot of sense. This happens with me when I need more oxygen, due to a medical condition. Sometimes people look at me askance and I have to explain a bit. That drained feeling from energy suckers - intentional or not - feels different, to me, anyway.

[Trogon]

Tanga's response is very close to what I was going to say. Especially the part about "energy vampires" being unaware of what they are doing. And, for that matter, many people who are their "victims" remain unaware of why they're tired after interacting with such a person.

 

What I do want to add is that, sometimes, people who are "close" to us (family members, people we work closely with, significant others and so on) can actually become psychically attached to us. Some of these attachments can become energy draining and even harmful to an extent. This might occur with someone you "break up with" (ie, ex-significant other, a friend you have a falling out with or an estranged family member).

 

Breaking or severing these psychic cords can be extremely helpful to you in regaining your spiritual balance. I found that using a knife which was psychically charged for the purpose worked well for severing these unhealthy attachments (this is a hunting knife my father made and carried through WWII). I also have an obsidian blade mounted in deer antler which I have dedicated to the purpose. However, it is important (in my opinion) to visualize the cords that are severed as simply falling away and withering so that negative energy does not rebound on the other person. This almost physical cutting of unhealthy cords was recommended to me by a psychic I visited in Sedona many years ago. It worked well for me. It sounds to me that your chant of "this is my energy - you're not welcome here" is probably severing the chords to that particular person, or at least reducing the flow of energy from you to them.

 

I found a blog site that has some further explanation of psychic cords, how to visualize and how to deal with them here; http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/dreamgates/2015/04/reading-and-releasing-psychic-cords.html

 

Another article I found deals more with the actual cutting of these unhealthy cords. The invocation they suggest is pretty similar to what the psychic I saw suggested to me, though she suggested I use a physical blade as well and that I invoke the power of the Archangel Michael, along with my Spirit Guides to infuse the blade I used with the power to sever the cords. Anyway, this other article is here; http://askingangels.com/psychic/cutcords.php

 

Hope this helps.
