From Rohaa I heard that people around here deal with stealing energy. So I will tell you my story and hope that it is helpful to whoever reads this.

Stealing energy??? Me???? No way!!!!!!
Yes, you do. Since a few days I steal energy from people (at least I am aware of it a few days). And it is a true crime! A real thief who steals stuff cannot catch up with me. I steal every minute. Sometimes I notice that I steal with every breath I take.

Stealing is not done
I real life stealing is a not done issue. When you go to the supermarket and take something without paying is not done. Same with robbing peoples bags when you are on the street. There is another variation of stealing and that is called stealing energy. It is not a physical object that you steal, so many people won’t notice you doing it, including yourself. But people who are more aware, more intuitive, they notice. And it affects them. They get tired, are being hurt or they get ill. And you as a stealer don’t want that to happen.

How do I steal
I draw a line from me to the other random person. That is my way of stealing. I guess most people do it this way. I notice the line reaching out to people. Most people are not aware of that they are stealing. I do not have the illusion that I am aware of it all the time, but I notice pretty often. And I can tell you it is exhausting. Your subconscious may think that stealing energy makes you more energetic. I can tell you: it is not. At least not for me. When I am aware of that I am stealing and with that stealing I can hurt people and make them dizzy or exhausted I do not like that. I want to stop the stealing, but the only thing I can do right now is to intercept that line so it doesn’t reach the people. That takes a lot of energy, because I cannot just sit whole day and only pay attention to the stealing. I also have to work, do sports, etc. It is more difficult to pay attention to and stop the stealing when you sport for example. Pay attention to two things is hard.

Gift
Stealing energy is a tool, a gift. What? You just said that stealing energy is not done. Now it is a gift? Yes it is. You don’t want to lose this gift, you only want to stop stealing and use this gift in a useful way. I will explain this to you in a simple way.

With gifts it is like a baby who is still growing inside the mother. First it is almost nothing, very small and ready to grow. It has no body, no head, no arms or legs. During the period of growth it starts getting arms. With this arms the baby can do a lot of things when it is born. Hold things like a cup to drink, play with toys, touch, punch people, etc. When the baby is just born the movements of this arm is random. It has no control over it. This baby which has no control over its arm is like stealing energy. You have a tool, but you just are not aware yet of what you can do with it. So you just make random movements like stealing. This arm may resemble the out of power gift of stealing energy. The baby does random actions with the arm at first. It hits in the face of its mother by accident. It needs to get control over its arm. So it can use its arm in an in power way. If you just want to stop stealing is like cutting off your arm. That is of no use. Then you cannot use your arm for other good purposes. So you just want to stop using the tool (stealing) in another way. The child learns this with practise and examples from his parents how to use the arm.

Grow up proces
We are just children who grow up. No matter how old your body is, your emotional age is still a kid. Everything is new and needs to be explored and discovered. We have the help of Rohaa who is the grown up. Who gives us examples, tools, exercises to discover things for ourselves and guides us through this path of awakening.

I like this writeup, thank you Yvonne for sharing it so honestly. Most people who steal energy either don't notice, or if they do, they certainly don't want to admit in front of other intuitives that they do it. You're doing a bit what ppl in the AA are doing. You're stepping up and saying "Hi, I'm Ben and I'm an alcoholic." Energy stealing is a bit like an addiction as well, because it does give you energy. And just like an addiction, it's not an easy thing to stop. Maybe your writeup will encourage a few other people to look at themselves honestly, and to start being aware of it.

If you've ever looked at babies, you'll know they reach an age where they start just grabbing everything and putting it in their mouths. Doesn't matter if that something is food, or a piece of plastic, or a marble, or ... They see it, they can grab it, so they do. And they don't ask "Can I have this?" or "Does this belong to me?" So in a way, they're often stealing. Now in babies, we don't mind that they're little thiefs. We didn't need those marbles and pieces of plastic anyway, and we often give them toys exactly for this purpose. With the meta-intuitive, it's different. Most people aren't even aware that there is such a thing as energy, let alone that it can be stolen. They can't say "No, baby, hands off, that's not for you" because they don't have the skills to notice it. So no one stops you, so you do it again, and again, until you're addicted.

This is very harmful to them, as they need this energy to live. If you're really good at it - and the more you start developping your gifts, the better you'll automatically get - you can make someone exhausted in just a few minutes time, and they'll have to go lie down or feel tired for days. With small children or sick elderly people who do not have very much energy, you could kill.

It's also very harmful to you, though, which is something that's often overlooked. Above, you may have thought "Yeah, but we don't let babies eat marbles anyway. I don't care that they steal a marble, but eating it is bad for them." Exactly. Stealing energy from others is bad for YOU. Think of it like getting a blood transfusion from someone with a different blood type. Your body will reject it, and you'll get all sorts of health trouble because it doesn't belong in your system, because it's not compatible. If you steal energy from someone else, it's the same. Your energy system will get very unhealthy. It will generate anger, you will create blocks, you may get physically really sick. You can see this represented in movies, where the bad guy usually wears black and is physically weak or sick in some way (Darth Vader). Even if you don't care about others, this is a good reason to be aware of your stealing and stop it.

You do not, in fact, need other people's energy. The universe and the earth itself have more than enough for everyone, and you can just draw in healthy, clean energy from there. Pull it up from your feet, or down your crown chakra, and store it in your guts. Do this every time you're feeling a bit tired. So why do we (and so many other, non-intuitives as well) steal when it's readily available? We learn it when we are children, like we learn control dramas, and then we use it the rest of our lives. No one ever teaches us that we don't need it, that we can interact healthily, that we have access to a huge free energy store.

It takes a lot of courage to come out and say "Look, I hate it, but I'm doing this and I want to stop. I don't want to hurt myself, and I certainly don't want to hurt the people around me." If anyone else recognises that they've been stealing, or have been told so, let us know, and we can set up our own Elfpath version of AA.

Recruit me! I've been doing it loads since two days ago and I want to stop. I do it more than I thought and yes, I don't like it at all.

Melanie pointed out to me yesterday that I steal energy, and upon taking a look for myself, it turns out that she is right. To me it looks like energetic tethers or tentacles originating from my 2nd, 4th and 6th chakras, reaching out to other people to drain their energy. It looks very similar to a Warlock in World of Warcraft draining his opponent's life force. Om nom nom.

Thought I'd post this so you are aware of it and can poke me when I do it without being aware of it .

What I find scary about this is that I feel like I could be really good at this if I were to do it on purpose.

Yvonne mentions it is a gift in some way, like a baby's arms are out of control, flailing and hitting mommy. It's obvious that properly functioning, strong arms are really nice to have, but I wonder what a more positive use of these siphoning tethers would be. Any thoughts?

Tips and tricks
As a vampire, one trick is to create a shield around yourself which inner side reflects energy, so the tethers can't reach out to other people. I suppose the reverse could work to prevent others from stealing your energy.

Melanie also suggested I try to find so called "tells", things that alert you to the fact that you are stealing someone's energy. Most likely this is something you will have to find out for yourself through experience. Same goes for noticing when someone is stealing your energy.

From what I've seen, stealing energy can be used for healing. By focussing on dense, stuck energy, you can take that out of the other and throw it away.

If you take it and turn it around tho, it's possible that energy thiefs could have a thing for giving it instead, or being very good at grounding stuff, but that's just a random thought.

Interesting that the hobbit brings this back up. I was going to last night, but I got scared. (which is why I thought it was interesting, ty LoA) Anyways, I too tend to vamp from people and collect muck from others.

This is what's bothering me too, "why is vamping such an easy thing and that I do it without realizing it too?" Makes me want to think that why can't letting go of my issues be that easy let alone heal others, or ground easier, or shape other things instead (if shaping seems to be related here)? Do understand that what was said about babies grabbing random things and sticking it in their mouth is a big part of the cause though.

I was thinking about this as well, and along the same lines. Like a gift of sourcing or healing/shaper gift.

in what ive read in carlos castanedas 'teachings of don juan, a seperate reality etc' those lines could be used to grab stuff like mountaintops and boulders and jump up really fast. Besides that there was a freaky radiomessage about a guy who could cling cutlery, mobile phones and even pans to his chest... (by means of tubes?) they called it magnetism.

ive felt dizzy/drained when vamped, and strangely energetic (and upset gut) when vamping myself. I noticed it can flow in through my head, or heart 2nd possibly as well... cant see the tubes though. so sometimes its hard to notice. Ive done it while sporting as well (yvonne noticed me doing it) and im still worried about it. Ive used a shield with inside mirrors to fend off doing it to others, hard to keep that up- but ill practise... how else can it feel to be vamped?

so some other excercises for the tubes would be nice so they can be controlled better?

I am unsure whether it is still stealing if you take something out that does not belong in there in the first place.

I was also told back when I started doing it lots that there is a difference between actually vamping, and just being the occasional energy thief. Either way it hurts the other person, but in the first case it is an addiction. Which means you need to abstain from it like you would try to quit smoking.

I'd agree. If you remove something without taking it for yourself, it aint stealing. But the way I've seen it used was the same. Just in a conscious and powered manner, in control and able to direct the stuck energy elsewhere than in either person's system.

I remembered something Melanie told me that is also important: when you steal energy it is not like "oops, well sorry about that" with no further harm done. You leave a wound in the victim's energy body, just like a physical body keeps bleeding after it has been bitten. Mel recommended that the energy thief does not try to heal that wound, because that would be like sending a vampire to go heal someone he just sucked blood from. Not the very best of ideas. Perhaps someone with more experience in the meta-intuitive arts could heal someone they stole energy from, I do not know.
