The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Being a social worker who has been trained to use empathy as a helping tool let me tell ya....learning to redirect the energy or shield is a tough thing at times and a hard lesson to learn. Some things I have learned to use over the years:

1. Remember you can not help everyone.

2. When the energy is draining, take a break---get away for a while.

3. Meditate and for me it was a white light in my head and heart and radiating out with it taking over my body.

4. Have stress relievers in place--exercise, friends, family, hobbies, etc and DO THEM.

5. Journal

6. Music...start where ever your feeling is and gradually increase the tempo...or decrease it as needed.

7. Self care is greatly important.

8. Last ---I have said the Serenity Prayer an untold amount of times.



Serenity Prayer - {God/dess, Spirit...what ever you chose} grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
