Psychic Vampires! Energy suckers are everywhere! They are your family members, your friends, your co-workers and YOU may be one yourself!


More commonly known as Psychic Vampire, we all know what vampires do! In this case, the vampire is siphoning your vital energy, depleting you, and causing you to become unhealthy emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Spiritual purification and cord-cutting are some tools that can keep the vampires away!


We take showers to cleanse our bodies every day — but how often do we cleanse our energy? For over 45 years as a psychic medium, I’ve seen countless clients come to me feeling drained, confused, or “off,” not realizing they were experiencing what’s known as a psychic attack.

Psychic attacks are real. They don’t always involve someone casting a spell — most often, they happen when people unconsciously drain your life force. These “energy vampires” may be family members, friends, coworkers, or even strangers who attach to your energy field without meaning to.

In this article, I’ll explain what a psychic vampire is, the signs you may be under psychic attack, and how to protect yourself through spiritual purification and cord cutting.

The term psychic vampire (or energy vampire) refers to someone who unconsciously steals the energy of others. They live with a victim mindset, believing life happens to them, and so they attach themselves to others’ energy fields to feel better.

These attachments form through energetic cords. Think of them as invisible threads between your aura and theirs. Energy flows both ways along these cords, which means:

  • If they’re depressed, you may feel sad.

  • If they have a headache, you might get one too.

  • If they’re angry, you may suddenly feel irritated.

Over time, this constant energy siphoning can leave you exhausted, unfocused, and disconnected from your own power.

Traits of an Energy Vampire

Not everyone who drains your energy means to do so. Most energy vampires are unconscious of their behavior. Still, you’ll recognize them by certain traits:

  • Feels lonely or abandoned

  • Needs constant reassurance

  • Rarely feels satisfied

  • Drama king or queen

  • A “poor me” attitude

  • Hates to be alone

  • Blames others and makes you feel guilty

  • Talks constantly without letting you speak

  • Drains you emotionally by making you their therapist

  • Is controlling or manipulative

  • Criticizes or puts you down

  • Often seems unhappy and fatigued

Sound familiar? If so, you may be on the receiving end of psychic vampirism.

How do you know if your energy is being siphoned? Here are common symptoms of psychic attack:

  • Chronic fatigue or exhaustion

  • Dizziness or mental fog

  • Headaches or muscle tension

  • Irritability or sudden mood swings

  • Sleep disturbances or nightmares

  • Feeling emotionally heavy or depressed

  • A diminished or “leaky” aura (psychics can often see this clearly)

  • Sudden illness or lowered immunity

Note: These symptoms can also have medical causes. Always consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist. But if nothing physical explains your exhaustion, try an energy cleanse first.

Why Psychic Attacks Happen

Many energy vampires don’t even know they’re draining others. On a subconscious level, they reach for your energy the same way someone might unconsciously lean on another’s shoulder. Others, unfortunately, do it intentionally to control or manipulate.

Either way, psychic attack thrives where there is energetic weakness. If you are carrying pain, anger, jealousy, or fear, these heavier vibrations create openings in your aura. That’s why spiritual purification isn’t just about “getting rid” of others’ cords — it’s also about strengthening your own field.

The good news? You can protect your energy. Here are proven tools for spiritual purification and cord cutting.

1. Awareness Comes First

Notice which people leave you feeling tired, confused, or drained. Keep in mind — psychic vampires don’t need to be physically present to attach to you. Their energy can reach across distance.

2. Daily Cord-Cutting Meditation

Cord cutting severs unhealthy energetic ties between you and others. This doesn’t mean you stop loving someone — it just clears the energetic attachment so you can relate from a healthier place.

Cord-Cutting Exercise with Archangel Michael:

  1. Sit comfortably. Take deep cleansing breaths.

  2. Call upon Archangel Michael: “Michael, please assist me in cutting all cords that no longer serve my highest good.”

  3. Visualize Michael swirling his sword of light around your entire body, severing cords.

  4. Imagine the cords retracting back to their source, returning their energy to them with love.

  5. Feel your aura becoming whole, vibrant, and strong.

  6. Thank Michael and rest in the feeling of lightness.

This simple practice takes only a few minutes and should be repeated daily — especially during stressful times.

3. Release Negative Emotions

Holding onto anger, jealousy, or fear is like shackling yourself to a heavy weight. By releasing these emotions, you strengthen your aura and reduce openings where negative energy can enter.

  • Journal your feelings honestly.

  • Burn or bury the paper as a symbolic release.

  • Practice forgiveness — not for them, but for your own freedom.

4. Purify Your Environment

Your physical space holds energy. Clearing it regularly keeps you aligned. Try these steps:

  • Declutter: If you haven’t used it in six months, release it.

  • Smudge: Burn sage, cedar, or sweetgrass while affirming light and protection.

  • Sacred water: Sprinkle holy water in each room, spiraling outward.

  • Sound: Play sacred music, chant OM, or recite prayers.

  • Crystals: Cleanse and dedicate them to the Light.

  • Nature indoors: Plants and fresh flowers raise vibration instantly.

5. Visualization and Aura Strengthening

Spend a few minutes each day visualizing yourself surrounded by a bright, strong aura — a shield of light. See it free from tears or holes, glowing with health and power.

You can also imagine mirrors facing outward around your aura. This sends others’ negative energy back to them without absorbing it yourself.

6. Invite Higher Support

Call upon the beings of light who resonate with you:

  • Archangels Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel

  • Ascended Masters

  • Your Higher Self and I AM Presence

  • Loving ancestors and guides

Ask them to surround you with divine protection and to cleanse your energy field of anything that does not belong.

Energy cords and psychic attacks are more than just nuisances. Left unchecked, they can:


  • Lower your vibration

  • Drain your vitality

  • Block your spiritual growth

  • Keep you trapped in unhealthy patterns


By practicing cord cutting and purification, you take back your personal power. You reclaim your energy for your own healing, joy, and purpose.

Remember: darkness thrives on fear. Awareness, action, and light dissolve its hold.

Final Thoughts on Psychic Vampires

You are not powerless against psychic attack. By learning to recognize energy vampires, practicing daily cord cutting, and keeping your aura clear, you strengthen your spiritual immune system.

Inspirational quote by Hans F Hansen on a starry cosmic background, featuring bright light and blue hues, evokes a thoughtful mood.

These practices don’t just protect you — they also help the other person. When their cords are cut, they are forced to return to their own source of energy, which is ultimately more empowering for them too.

Start today:

  • Notice who drains you.

  • Cut cords with Archangel Michael.

  • Cleanse your space.

  • Fill your aura with light.

You have the right to your energy, your joy, and your peace. Take it back with love.
