This is a very sensitive breed of vampyre. You are able to take what you cannot see, only what you feel. Before doing so, you need to know yourself, and your strengths. You must know how to drain in increments, because if you don’t, you will perish them upon the first feeding. You have the ability to take life, energy, and emotions, but also the ability to give them. ~It seems that there is a trend of depression and manic depression among psivamps. This is mostly because they are able to get into someone's being, so, when a psivamp is emotionally attached to someone, it is blatantly that. They can feel everything around them and are apart of all their surroundings. Emotions, thoughts, whispers....they feel it all. i have learned to steer clear from large crowds. The bulk of emotion is like oil and water, it doesn’t mix, yet you are trying to drink it together. This does not work. You will only end up hurting yourself. *There are many different techniques of feeding, try them out and see which one suits you best: Postitive feeding: 1. Seduction: For those of you who know you are beautiful, you are the most dangerous. You use your beauty and charm as a tool to pull them in, and it can happen with the same sex in a non-sexual way; even if you are not bisexual. Stealing energy from a soul is the sweetest treat of all, and lust will be just as delicious as the sweetest candy. 2. Manipulation: Psivamps are usually very popular in large groups. Most of us are charming and out-spoken. We are not afraid to say what is on our mind, even if it is against the topic of the conversation. And that is what allures many, what draws them to us. This is where you can feed off of anxiousness and bewilderment, amazement. You have captured their eyes and their attention, when you do this, feeding is very very simple. 3. Submission: Some of us are fortunate enough to have energy donors. You must care for you donor as if they were a child, mending their wounds and heart when you are done. This is implicit trust and should not be taken advantage of. Negative feeding: 1. Feeding in public. This I think is not a very good idea, even if you are desperate. Taking from those you do not know anything about-Simply put, you do not know what you are getting. Kind of like the stupid grab bags from kindergarten birthday parties when you were a kid. 2. Feeding in hate. When you feed when you strongly dislike someone or hate them, you will probably drain close to 33% of their energy, but, most of the time, the energy will not be good. Thus, only making you more unhappy. And if it is just an argument between friends, if you are not careful, you could lose them forever. 3. Feeding on a lover. This is already described in Feeding and Donors. 4. Feeding in desperation. This happens when you neglect yourself and do not make ready sources readily available. You feed irrationally and may sometimes inadvertantly drain yourself more than drain your victim. 5. Other psivamps. We need to unite and not be enemies against each other. I have seen this happen between two in a struggle for power. And neither gain in the end. They both lose and are left drained and hollow, like dead leaves in fall. Never feed on your own kind. Besides, if they are a psivamp, then they probably know how to shield it, starting a chain reaction of bad luck to fall upon you both. More to come. *****Learn to shield yourself from others, especially psivamps. We have this beautiful gift of being able to read mind, and indefinitely emotions. If there is another around you, they will know what you are doing. Plus, it helps protecting yourself from would-be vampire hunters and clairvoiants of a "negative" sense. *****I have found that by taking energy from lip to skin contact(i.e. your mouth on your prey) seems to be the best and most assured way to feed. The mouth, of course, the tongue in essense, is one of the most powerful parts of the body. Talking, the ability to have something that can project fear, love, hate, emotions in every form just through these things called "words"...You can breathe in the essense of your prey, kiss their fears away, their love, their fears. But, as you can take it, you can give it most excellent through this form as well. I have found one of the most powerful places to touch my lips to my prey is on the forehead and the cheekbones. I breathe in the negativity from their soul and replenish it with my positive energy. It is tasking on the soul. But, it is worth it if you care about the person, or if you have drained them to the point of near unconsciousness. **Another note on the above: Remember how powerful words and the tongue are: they are essential to manipulation, seduction, getting what you want, asking, loving and hating. You need not touch someone to feed on them if your tongue is sweeter than honey itself. ~PsiVamps grow stronger when they feed, but crash even harder when they do not. Some only feed on their enemies, some just take random faces at public places. And I have known some that claim they can do it without the person even around. For me, I know, the person has to be around me. That way I can have “direct contact” to the person and I can watch them as I do it. I have fed on someone and become deeply depressed because inadvertently that was the form of emotions I drained from the person. You can take any emotion from them, if that is what you are draining. Hate, love, anger, and such, but be warned, by draining this, you will become it and it becomes you. I call it eating a cancer. ~Draining life force and essence is what makes us stronger. We take what keeps them going and put it into ourselves. This is the strongest and most powerful type of feeding, in my opinion. The ability to kill is easy and inconspicuous, unless you are one of those that cannot keep their mouths shut about what you are. Remember one thing about this though, Deaths haunt you. ~If a psivamp does not feed for a long period of time, they will become depressed, weak, and if it is a decision to denounce their being, they may die. I have felt death, I have seen it. I had trouble coming to terms with myself when the greatest tragedy happened. Lying on the floor, wanting to die, I felt my heart beating, I could feel it everywhere, even on my tongue. And it slowed, and slowed, to the point with every beat, I could see and feel my soul wafting in and out of my body. When I saw myself, lying, dying........I knew I did not want this. I was able to pull energy from the essence of my room, my things, all of which I cherished dearly. As I said, we become everything around us, and it becomes us. I would not call it feeding, I call it a life line between life and death a psivamp can grasp onto when times are bad. ~Do not let your hunger become so great that your first instinct is to kill. You can keep feeding in many small increments, feeding just a little, but as much as 10-20 times a day. I have been awakened for 9 years now, I have learned that we feed without even knowing it most of the time, but usually it becomes displaced energy, and escapes when we laugh or talk excitedly about something. Useful tip:Learn to love misery. You will have much of it in your life, more than happiness. Do not use sadness as a tool though, learn to deal with it and know that even if you are going through horrible times, they are not forever, they are not permanent. And they will soon be over. ~Learn to take care of yourself. Love yourself. For when the body and mind are one, nothing can stop you. Be confident.
