The 23rd Lunar Day. Defending Against Energy Vampires.

The 23rd lunar day is a time when you need to be particularly mindful of your protection. It is symbolized by the mythical creature “Crocodile Makkara,” a half-fish, half-crocodile, half-snake monster that symbolizes danger. This metaphor accurately reflects the energy backdrop of the 23rd lunar day, which is characterized by seduction, deceit, and what can be described as energetic “vampires.” These are not real vampires, but rather individuals with weak energy who, instead of cultivating it through healthy means like exercise and a balanced lifestyle, drain it from others using cunning psychological tactics. They employ methods such as whining, persistent requests for help, complaints about their misfortunes, and attempts to induce guilt. They may also impose their beliefs, advice, services, and, in some cases, resort to rudeness. The “vampire’s” goal is to elicit strong emotions in you, such as anger, sympathy, or pity, as these emotions carry your energy along with them. It’s worth noting that “vampires” are also adept at extracting money from unsuspecting victims. On the 23rd lunar day, our own energy weakens, making us more susceptible to encounters with these energy-draining individuals. Be extremely cautious. Remember that “vampires” are seeking emotional reactions from you, so do your best not to fall for their manipulations.

Here’s how to recognize an energy “vampire”: Pay close attention to your feelings during and after interacting with someone. If you experience symptoms such as headaches, sudden weakness, unsteady legs, self-directed anger, a sense of emptiness, powerlessness, or obsessive thoughts about how you should have refused and acted independently, or if you fear that something bad will happen if you decline a person’s requests, it’s a clear sign that your energy is being sapped.

A one-time encounter with a “vampire” is usually not too harmful and might result in a headache, a minor cold, groundless fear or aggression, or even a setback in a business endeavor. However, if someone close to you exhibits “vampire” tendencies, it’s a serious concern. Following their lead can significantly hinder your life’s path because a “vampire” will steer you toward actions that benefit them while concealing their true intentions behind noble principles or a facade of unhappiness.

The surest protection against “vampires” is inner purity. When your soul is pure, there’s nothing for a “vampire” to latch onto; they won’t find any resonating vibrations in you, and they’ll quickly lose interest. However, achieving this level of purity is challenging for most of us, so we must learn to defend ourselves effectively.

On this day, it’s crucial to maintain inner peace and avoid conflicts, troubles, or confrontations. Resist the urge to become angry, vent negative emotions, or doubt yourself and your chosen path. Examine all events that occur on this day for signs of seduction, and resist falling into provocations. Revenge is especially perilous, as it’s likely to backfire.

Exercise caution with financial matters and contracts. It’s advisable to avoid engaging in significant financial transactions, borrowing or lending money, making major purchases, or indulging in excessive shopping on this dangerous day. Practices from the 9th and 19th lunar days can provide added protection. Here are a few more protective measures to help you navigate this day without unpleasant consequences for yourself.

To ensure your protection in advance, it’s wise to take precautions against “vampires.” Here are several methods you can employ:

1. Conspiracies and Infusions: Draw upon the power of the 9th lunar day’s spells and the infusions from the 19th lunar day. Sip these infusions and enchanted waters in small portions throughout the day. This practice will help shield you from the potential dangers of the 23rd lunar day.
2. Protective Essential Oils: Another effective method involves applying protective essential oils like anise, lavender, cedar, geranium, petitgrain, or juniper to your body before leaving your home. There’s no need to pre-charge the oil. Simply envision it as a protective film, like an impenetrable shell, as you rub it onto your skin.
3. “Tornado” Exercise: This exercise provides a sharp, short-term boost in energy, rendering your biofield impervious to negative influences from the outside. The protection it offers lasts for approximately two to three hours. If necessary, you can repeat the exercise as often as needed throughout the day for extended protection. When performed daily, it reinforces the protective effect.

• Find a comfortable position, keeping your arms and legs uncrossed, and ideally, close your eyes.
• Take a few deep breaths for a couple of minutes to prepare for the exercise and clear your mind of distractions.
• Visualize a vibrant white or golden energy funnel beneath your feet, rotating in a clockwise direction.
• Gradually raise the funnel until it encompasses your entire body.
• As the funnel’s edges reach above your head, mentally expand and condense its walls.
• Maintain this “tornado” visualization for about two minutes, then lift it above your head and lower the narrow part into your crown.

1. “Cocoon” Exercise: Similar to the previous exercise, this one creates a protective cocoon that fortifies your biofield and “grinds” away harmful influences through its rotation. It’s best to close your eyes for this exercise if possible.

• Begin by imagining a small golden ball located opposite your perineum.
• Visualize the ball moving in a circular motion around you in a clockwise direction, maintaining a distance of 20–30 cm from your body. Start with slow rotations, gradually increasing the speed.
• Eventually, the ball transforms into a luminous hoop as it continues to rotate.
• Without interrupting the hoop’s rotation, imagine it splitting into two.
• Lift the second hoop, which has separated from the first, to the level of your navel and twirl it around yourself for about a minute, enhancing the image of the luminous hoop.
• Continue this process, creating additional hoops that rise to various levels of your body: the genital organs, navel, solar plexus, heart, throat, and forehead.
• Keep all six hoops rotating for approximately one minute.
• Finally, shift your attention to the world around you. The protective cocoon has been established and operates independently, providing protection for 2-3 hours.

By employing these methods, you can proactively safeguard yourself against potential energy drains and negative influences on the 23rd lunar day.

To prevent being drained of your energy during contact with an energy “vampire,” there are effective methods you can employ, even if you haven’t taken proactive protective measures in advance. Here are four options to consider:

1. “Mirror Screen”: This is a basic yet effective way to safely interact with an unpleasant individual, a “vampire.” However, it comes with a potential drawback: the person you’re communicating with may feel that you’re not fully engaged in the conversation, possibly causing offense. Use this method when you have little concern for the speaker or future relations with them.

• Visualize an energy screen placed between you and the undesirable interlocutor. Ensure that the side of the screen facing the person is mirrored.
• The screen’s height should match your own, completely covering you.
• Concentrate on maintaining a mental image of the screen throughout the conversation, especially initially.

1. “Fetus”: This technique allows you to both shield yourself and preserve the relationship, as the person can express themselves without realizing you’ve established a defense. Your energy is conserved in the process.

• Mentally place a seed of any plant between you and the person. The specific type of plant doesn’t matter.
• Envision that all the negativity emanating from the interlocutor flows into this seed.
• The energy-information flows linger on the seed, causing it to grow and germinate.
• Ultimately, a fruit forms from the seed, filling with vital energy. This fruit can take on any form, such as a tomato, banana, orange, mango, grapes, or even a completely unfamiliar fruit.
• When the fruit is fully “ripe” in your visualization, mentally burn it, and if necessary, create a new seed.

1. “Grounding”: Grounding is invaluable for managing emotional reactions, particularly in situations where you’re being pressured to act against your will or provoked into conflict. It facilitates a sense of calm, making you feel impenetrable and in control of yourself. This exercise is effective both before and during interactions with a “vampire”; performing it after the fact is less effective.

• Stand or sit with your back straight, and avoid crossing your limbs if possible.
• Optionally, close your eyes.
• Visualize a robust, dense energy rod, akin to a trunk, growing and extending downward from the base of your spine.
• This rod effortlessly pierces through various layers, including floors, concrete, asphalt, soil, until it reaches the center of the Earth.
• The color of this rod can be silver-gray, glowing white, gold, or light brown—choose whatever feels most comfortable.
• You establish an energetic connection with the Earth’s center, which supports you.
• Feel a profound sense of calm and control over yourself and the situation.

1. “Bubble”: If someone attempts psychological pressure on you, you can encase yourself in a protective energy bubble to shield against their influence.

• Shift your focus away from the interlocutor and stop actively listening to their words.
• Take 15–20 breaths, inhaling and exhaling with your stomach, focusing on the solar plexus.
• As you breathe in, allow your stomach to protrude slightly, and as you exhale, let it contract.
• Gradually, a sense of relaxation and warmth will emerge in the solar plexus area.
• Continue to breathe into your stomach and envision a protective bubble inflating around you with each breath.
• The bubble’s diameter is flexible and arbitrary.
• Sense that you are within this bubble, safeguarded from all negativity emanating from the aggressor, which remains outside and does not reach you.

These techniques can empower you to maintain your energy and composure when dealing with energy “vampires,” even if you haven’t taken preemptive protective measures.

How to Counter the Effects of an “Energy Vampire” Attack

If you didn’t have the opportunity to set up protective measures in advance and find yourself drained after an encounter with an “energy vampire,” don’t worry. Here are steps to help you recover and eliminate the consequences of the attack:

1. Salt Bath or Contrast Shower: In the evening, when you return home, take a bath with sea salt or opt for a contrast shower. Alternate between hot water (as hot as you can tolerate without burning yourself) and cold water (not exceeding 15°C) for 1-minute intervals, totaling 5 contrasts. Conclude the procedure with a cold shower.
2. Special Techniques for Strong Attacks: If you still feel drained, empty, tired, or angry after an encounter with a particularly potent “vampire,” you may need to employ specific techniques. These techniques focus on removing energetic connections, often referred to as “bindings,” that form between individuals during communication. These bindings are responsible for the discomfort experienced after interacting with an energy vampire. Here are three methods to break these bindings: a. Scissors Visualization: Close your eyes and envision the connection with the unpleasant person as two pipes. One pipe carries energy from you to them, while the other carries energy from them to you. When this mental picture becomes clear, imagine a pair of scissors or physically hold them, then cut both channels. Secure the ends of your tubes to yourself and give the other two ends to the person you want to disconnect from. b. Candle Technique: Light a candle and hold it at the level of your genitals. Slowly move the candle upward along your body. If you notice the flame crackling or feel your hand becoming heavy in certain areas, hold the candle there for a longer period. Complete the procedure when the candle flame reaches the level of your crown. c. Paper and Pencil: Light a candle and place a blank sheet of paper in front of you. Take a pencil and concentrate on the person from whom you want to energetically detach. Observe the sheet carefully and trust your feelings. Draw the binding on the sheet in the form of a dot, circle, or any shape that symbolizes the attachment. Ignite the sheet at the location of the binding, ensuring the image burns. Dispose of the burning paper in the toilet.

You’ll be able to gauge whether the energy connection has been severed by your feelings. When the connection is broken, the person may seem distant and uninvolved in your life, making it challenging to visualize them.

If thoughts about the person persist for more than a day or if you sense that the connection has been reestablished, repeat the procedure. Sometimes, it may take 5–6 sessions to completely free yourself from an energy connection.

If you’ve made several attempts to remove the binding, and it keeps returning, consider that you might subconsciously benefit from this connection, possibly as an energy source. In such cases, you may need to accept its presence, as vital bindings tend to reappear regardless of removal efforts.

I hope these techniques prove helpful, and that your day remains free of troubles and disappointments. If you’ve followed this advice, you should be well-protected and have nothing to fear on this or any other day.
