How To Raise Your Vibration When You Feel Fear

[The David]

It's funny I just saw this entry after watching a horror movie that scared me beyond all reason (for an addict like myself, it doesn't happen very easily). Fear fascinates me and I sometimes think it rules me. Not fear of taking risks, not even really the threat of death, but a tangled web of physical tension and worry. Maybe my New Years resolution should involve switching from horror to humor.

Hi Erin,

Something else I think is worth pointing out when we're talking about negative entities is what their agenda is. Understanding of this helps to dispel the fear.

Negative entities are beings that have chosen not to work with light, Source, all there is. This presents them with a problem because this is the main source of energy that beings work with. Without this, they have to draw their energy from elsewhere and they do this by making second hand power sources of positive beings. You can draw energy from a positive being by dong something that creates negative energy and then siphon off the negative energy. It's like being a parasite. And the more scared the positive being becomes, the more energy he's supplying to the negative being and the more it expands and grows and becomes scarier and the more scared he gets, and so on.

Once you understand the agenda behind what the negative being is doing, the awareness of this raises your vibration. Also when you make an intention not to be a second hand power source for anyone, it puts the power in your hands and not in the negative entity's.

A few months ago, I was going through a very negative state for like a week or 2. I was quite depressed, hated life and didn't really cared. So when I was laying in bed I verbally invited all bad energies/spirits/whatever to come on in and do their thing. I was really meaning it to, I just didn't care, everything that wanted could do to me what it wanted.

But.... nothing happend. So I wonder, if we are beacons when we are negative, why didn't something happen?

[Erin Pavlina]

Spiritual: Your personal power was still very high when you did that. You were not in a fear state. Even though you were in a lower state of consciousness (depression, anger) you still had the power. it's like you put up a shield and said, "come and get me" and they just bounced off your shield.

AnnaC: yes, you are exactly correct. negative entities feed off of fear.

Oh! Great post! I was just going to bed, logging off my computer when all of a sudden I thought I should check the blog!! I'm also kind of scared of the boogie monster and my roomie keeps on freaking me out about the ''thing'' in the house :-/

BTW, my roomie is full of negative energy - I can't avoid her. Is there some kind of way I can block her energy? I'm almost 100% sure she is a psychic vampire.

Thanks again!

Epiphany, does your roommate try to steal your power emotionally or is she just a negative person or suffering from low vibration?

[Epiphany]

She drains the energy out of me and I feel strange with her. Even though we are friends she makes me feel anxious - stressed and just BLAH. She is FULL of negative energy, everything sucks for her - life is treating her bad nobody loves her...blah blah blah. She is not a bad person and we have been pals for years but after being around her for too long I feel dizzy and sick!

She usually gives me the evil eye, we really believe in it here in Greece (at least I know a few people who know how to remove it!) She is vibrating in a low emotional state also cause she is never happy and life sucks to her.
I'm kind of tired of trying to help her and whenever I do I feel like thowing up after.

[Erin Pavlina]

Epiphany, what's probably happening is that you're handing her your power by trying to help her when she probably just wants to complain. People who try to take your power consciously do it more with intimidation and control. But in her case, you are opening yourself up to her probably out of a desire to help her and then her energy is seeping into your auric field. She's probably feeding off your higher vibration energy.

My advice is usually to stay away from such people; at the very least I would not live with a person like that. Secondly, if she tries to give you the evil eye just imagine a mirror in between you and reflect it right back to her. That's psychic self defense 101 stuff.

[Epiphany]

Thanks very much for the advice. Last night I did all the steps from your blog and I felt safe!! I hope the ghosts like ZZ top :P If there is anything bad in the house it will leave for sure after all of my singing today :P

Now about my roommate. I just moved in with her and I can't move out yet (economical issue). Maybe this whole experience will make me stronger. I'm some kind of strange magnet to people like that, I guess I just want to help.
I usually imagine light around me that shields me from her energy force, I'll start using the mirror trick also! Im gonna send all of the BLEHH back to her! Soon we might find her on some forum nagging about her roommate that makes her feel sick...:P

[Erin Pavlina]

The other thing you should probably do with her is not let her use you as a sounding board for her complaints. After she tells you something just say, 'Wow, it sounds like you're upset about that. what are you planning to do about it?" But don't offer advice, she's not really looking for any.

Last year I took up juggling and I have discovered that I really enjoy it. Just recently, I began learning clubs. I love the way they look as they rotate and spin in my hands. Now when I go to bed, I imagine watching juggling clubs dance in front of my eyes. It makes me feel so happy and peaceful in those last quiet moments before sleeping!

This may sound extremely cheesy, but if something paranormal scares me I think of the Ghostbusters theme. It's not even the lyrics that help me, but its the music and chord structures itself along with the keyboards and guitar phrases.

It might work for you. I am a very auditory person so I tend to think in sound alot. This helps me, I hope it helps you.
