An (emotional) vampire goes in for the kill by stirring up your emotions. Pushing your buttons throws you off center, which renders you easier to drain. Of all the emotional types, empaths are often the most devestated.

No matter how well-meaning your intention, doing too much is not always an act of love but of sabotage.

Image
Certain people give off positive energy, others negative. It's the quality of someone's being, a measure of the love with which they've led their lives. It also reflects the inner work they've done, their efforts to heal anger, hatred, or self-loathing, which poison us like toxic fumes.

Shame is not your friend. It depletes your power. Let go of shame and embrace your magnificence.

Friends can be the best co-conspirators in charting the unknown.

The art of communicating is to speak with a non judging sensitivity and mean it rather than impulsively verbalizing whatever feelings arise there's no better way to make a point.

We energetically attract what we haven't worked out in ourselves. When vampires evoke intensely judgmental reactions from us, it could be they are mirroring aspects of our personalities we don't like or completely understand.

Surrendered people know themselves and are empathetic toward others. They don't measure themselves by how much they are liked, nor do they compete for attention. When they sit quietly in a room, others always seem to come to them. They feel successful apart from their job or net worth.

I don't care how intelligent or attractive someone is, if he zaps your energy, he isn't for you. True chemistry is more than intellectual compatibility. Beyond surfaces, you must be intuitively at ease.

Stop protesting the hand you've been dealt! Become partners with your life instead of making it an exhausting wrestling match.

Image
Surrender is a positive, healthy state. Being a surrendered person does not mean one is beaten down and so hopeless he or she has given up. It's quite the contrary.
Judith Orloff
Image
We have two choices when things pile up at work or we're surrounded by energy vampires who leave us feeling depleted. We can get frantic, hyperventilate, shut down, and become reactive. Needless to say, these responses to stress just make us more stressed. Surrendered people have the ability to pause, take a deep breath, and observe.

Illness sets the stage for the opening of our hearts.
Judith Orloff
Image
Sustaining silence and circumspection are two behaviors that lead to better, healthier outcomes. They are powerful without dominating.

Image
It's not the burden of your mate or anyone else to heal your emotional issues.

Image
Trying to force things only disturbs your goals. Forcing will not help. Everything happens in its right time.

Every illness is an opportunity for compassionate revelations.

Spirituality is not for sale. It must be developed.

Relationships carry the whole universe within them. They can be everything, nothing, here, then gone. One moment, loving someone makes you shine the next, it feels like matter and antimatter colliding.

Adopting the behaviors and habits of surrendered people helps us improve our relationships, feel love and gratitude, get healthier, give up destructive people and behavior patterns, and become more successful and influential in our lives and careers. And that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as benefits go.
