Episode #78 – Outsmart the Energy Vampires: Protection Tactics to Reclaim Your Energy

Introduction to the Crystal Self Healer Podcast

Welcome to the Crystal Self Healer podcast. I’m Corissa Weaver. On this podcast, we blend the magic of crystals with the science of psychology to help you break free from chaos, ditch the overwhelm, and master your emotions so you can have more energy, get more done and feel better every day. Get ready to unlock your intuition and restore your true power as we cover how you can transform your life using crystals and self-awareness.

Are you ready to get started? Alright, let’s go.

Understanding Energy Imbalance

It’s easy to let the vast expanse of priorities to pull you from thing to thing and to also have Karen’s and Kevin’s living rent free in your head.

When your day is filled with chasing, you never feel like you’re catching up or even making progress.

Additionally, you’ll find that your energy levels feel zapped or like your battery is running low.

You feel depleted, exhausted, and at a loss the entire time.

This energy imbalance can be too much to handle sometimes.

If this speaks to you and how you feel on a regular basis, this episode is for you.

Managing Energy with Practical Tools

We’re going to explore how to outsmart the energy vampires and discuss protection tactics to get you back on track. You will learn a practical energy management tool for your daily emotional survival.

Observations from Raising Kids

Raising kids has been a fascinating experiment. Between the three distinct personalities to the stages of development, there has not been a day that doesn’t intrigue the psychology buff in me.

One observation that I think you’ll relate to is when I watch my kids looking at what the other kids are or aren’t doing to measure themselves and what they should be doing. It’s really kind of funny to see them gauging how much effort they need to put into their own chores or responsibilities when they perceive that the other kids aren’t doing their fair share.

What they don’t realize is that this is draining their energy.

This focusing on what someone else should be doing and then measuring themselves up against that, and then crying foul because their sense of justice isn’t panning out.

This pattern has been a regular go-to for them since they’ve been asked to do things, and I see adults doing the same thing.

The Four of Cups: A Lesson in Focus

The card inspiration this week is the four of Cups as what to release from a crystal and tarot forecast inside the Charmed Community.

Every time I see this card, I instantly see my children being all indignant in their perpetual hardship of living with other people.

They are so engrossed and wrapped up in what they see and feel is important that they’re oblivious to what is being offered to them, let alone conscious of what they already have.

This is a fun card to contemplate when applying it to the drama in our lives.

We have this individual pouting under a tree with three cups in front of them, and another one being offered to them by the magical hand of the universe.

This person is so engrossed in their thinking that they can’t or won’t see the abundance being brought to them.

So by being so wrapped up and invested in the drama of the Karens and Kevins, you can’t acknowledge how you’re draining your energy, and that’s what the Four of Cups as what to release is asking you to uncover.

It’s time to stop focusing on all the things you don’t want, don’t enjoy, and start seeing what you have in your life that brings you joy, abundance, and love.

One of the first things you learn when diving into cognitive behavior theory is that your thoughts create your feelings. This means that if you think negative thoughts, you create negative emotions, and if you think positive thoughts, you create positive emotions.

So let’s circle back to our friend on the four of Cups card. You can see that they are so immersed in their thoughts, they’re oblivious to the reality around them.

This is the bait of the energy vampire, the Karens and Kevins living in your brain rent free.

And staying in the space where you are fixating on what the Karens and Kevins are doing is what drains your energy.

Reclaiming Your Energy

To reclaim your energy, interrupt the cycle of fixating on the thoughts you have about what they’re doing and why it’s so awful.

The best way to do this that I’ve found is to create an environment where you get to be the observer of what is going on instead of being the recipient.

To create this level of curiosity, take some time to dig out what the thoughts are that are setting off the spiral.

Be willing to look at your situation from different angles, consider other points of view, be willing to be wrong.

And then choose ahead of time how you want to feel, how you want to respond to these stressors, how you want to care for yourself.

The key piece is you don’t want to leave a void when you remove a trigger and you want to make plans for how you will refill that space.

This is where falling back into old patterns keeps you exactly where you don’t wanna be because you don’t have a plan for what to do instead.

So intentionally choose what it is you plan to do when you are in a triggering experience.

And I wanna make this really simple for you.

You can download the free Charmed Morning Ritual Worksheet from the show notes to help you with this process.

Start your day with what you want, your intention, your focus.

Identify what will help you stay in this energy.

What things can you do?

What crystals do you find support that initiative?

Then stop creating the friction and resistance when the Karens and Kevins come out of the woodwork and do the things that they do.

You drain your energy when you focus on what you want them to do differently.

Instead, practice what Abraham Hicks suggests and reach for that thought that feels good. That energy you identified at the start of the day.

Every minute, every breath you have a choice: go down the rabbit hole dug by the Karens and Kevins, or walk the path you chose.

Which one will it be for you today?

Mahogany Obsidian: Your Protective Ally

To support you in protecting your energy i’m going to offer Mahogany Obsidian, and here’s why.

For those moments when you are feeling untethered and the Karens and Kevins are doing their thing, Mahogany Obsidian helps to anchor you firmly in the present moment. When you’re grounded, it becomes easier to observe the drama around you rather than getting swept into it, giving you the immediate clarity to choose your own path instead of reacting to their drama.

Mahogany Obsidian also helps you release what no longer serves your highest good. You will have the ability to sever the energetic cords to past grievances, perceived injustices, or even the persistent thoughts about what others should be doing so you can get out of the cycle of negative thoughts.

To deflect unwanted influence or unsolicited demands, Mahogany Obsidian helps to strengthen your personal boundaries by acting like a shield. You’ll feel empowered to stand firm in your convictions, follow through on your predetermined responses, and avoid draining your energy.

Mahogany Obsidian can help remove energetic implants that hold you back in your self-acceptance and personal growth. By reinforcing your belief in yourself, your ability to handle difficult situations, and disconnecting from the chaos, you form an energetic boundary that prioritizes your own peace of mind.

Daily Rituals for Energy Protection

So again, I’m going to encourage you to download the Charmed Morning Ritual Worksheet. This will help you create the practice that will support you in strengthening your ability to outsmart the energy vampires that you interact with in your regular life.

This worksheet can serve as your personal blueprint for emotional, mental, and physical peace, and a self derived sense of safety.

Building and maintaining these powerful daily rituals, especially when the Karens and Kevins inevitably show up, demands consistent effort. It’s about continually choosing that better feeling path, day after day, breath by breath.

I do want to highlight the immense freedom and flexibility that is available to you in choosing just how you go about protecting and supporting your energy. Be that wearing crystals, building altars or crystal grids, meditating, carrying out personal crystal healing sessions, or addressing shadow work with introspective journaling.

Practical energy protection and intentional living isn’t a straight line. It requires ongoing refinement, deeper understanding, and a supportive space for that evolution. It’s about moving beyond just knowing what to do, to integrating it, consistently doing it, and doing it with confidence and clarity.
