sucking energy...?

[kakkarot]

there is a lot that can be determined about a person by their handshake, but it's just a small aspect of the much larger skill of reading body language ^_^ there are quite a number of simple, quick, unintrusive ways to get insight into a person [].

as for the vampirism thing, it's a lot more complicated than what you've mentioned. for some weaker minded/spirited people trying to "become" energy vampires, they'll soon realize that other things come along with the energy, things which can cause confusion about one's identify (sometimes confusion enough to do serious psychological damage, though rare).

however, there are also psychic vampires out there who can easily take other people's energy and filter out that which is undesirable. in actuality, most SKILLED energy users should be able to "vamp" without much difficulty, and i'm not even going to get into the topic of the people who supposedly can't help but take other people's energies ^_^.

but to the mundanes who are just shaking hands, sometimes lots can happen, sometimes little can happen; it depends on the two shaking hands. but while ego's may collide quite strongly, most mundanes can take very little of your actual chi/energy via a handshake, not enough to make a difference in one's day-to-day life [].

edit: i just finished reading the article completely, and it's my opinion that the author is overexaggerating the handshake and the power of a "single thought" in the "hands" of a mundane ^_^.

If there is someone out there who are practicing this technique, regardless of whether they are successful at it, they are probably under the control of a malign entity.

i'm sorry wendi but i disagree []. good people can use these techniques to gain insight into people they meet, as well as (as the article says) pass good energy over to the other person []. a tool is a tool, being neither good nor evil, and the tool can be used for good [].

if you meant more specifically, the vamping portion of this, then while i do agree that it's not generally a good thing, humans can be evil without the need of an outside malignant entity to push them.

Dear Kakkarot:

Please reread the original post.  It sounds like you are talking about something like Reiki, and they are talking about controlling other people.

God and goodness alone
governs and guides me
no other presence, no other power.

Hi all. I found this topic at the following link but I think that is sort of black magic or I dont know what else. I dont know if it works either because it seems to me not ethical if it works.
What do you think?
All the best

What is "vampirism" anyway? There exist tons of sources concerning this rather controversial phenomenon. Overall, the concept deals with tremendously important subject such as human energy. After doing a lot of practice, you can "take" and "give" energy not only with the help of your hands but also without it. In order to manipulate energy on a distance, try to envision a person in a form of a clew, in your mind try locating the very beginning of the thread. Now, begin inhaling this thread with your breath.

We would like to warn those who would want to use this skill with bad intentions in mind. The entire process of consumption of someone's energy can partially destroy that individual. At first, this "vampire" begins hearing his victims' thoughts. Afterwards, it becomes harder for him to concentrate. In the end, he completely loses his ability to consume energy.
