Feeding: Sources (part 1)

There are lots of places you can get prana--or any other energy really, though I suggest you avoid negative energies as much as possible. I'm gonna start off with the obvious/basic things and go into further detail as I go.

The most obvious source of prana is people. Donors are helpful but be careful who you chose. If you tell the wrong person you're a psyvamp the results could be unpleasant.

On the other hand you can feed without telling a person. Like if someone hugs you you can take a little through the physical contact, or if you're at a rock concert you can just inhale the high-energy atmosphere.

Within the people option there are categories to chose from. The obvious ones are within the usual subculture labels, but then you're really chosing between indeviduals.

New Age people (ex. Indigos, Crystals, Rainbows, starchildren in general if you know about that sort of thing. If you don't you can check out my other blog, True Colors) are a good option, they're pretty open-minded and make good donors because they naturally emit positive energy. Nevertheless, be careful who you pick.

Normal people are harder to keep as donors. Often--especially if you're of opposite gender--they blur the line between feeding for romance or intimacy. Also they're more closed-minded, so even finding one is difficult.

I hate to stereotypically add a subculture as a donor option, but emos are excellent sources. Mind when I say "emo" I mean emotional person, someone with lacking self confidence and sometimes a nasty habit of cutting can identify them. I'm not saying they all do that, but keep an eye out. Even if they don't know you're a psyvamp you can still feed and rather than it being viewed as a negative attack it will be more pleasant to the person you're feeding from, they'll take it as attention and that you care about them.

Feeding from a partner/significant other can also be good, but don't overdo it. You don't want them to feel like they're being used.

Little bit of advice...Do not feed from a person who is feeling sick, has a negative emotion overcoming them, is elderly, or is a small child. That can be very bad for both you and your source.

The reason I say that is if the person is feeling sick you will both make yourself feel sick and weaken them. If they're feeling bad emotionally you could of course take that from them and make them feel better, but you will just take on the very feelings they were suffering from. The elderly...that's just an overall bad idea. Small children, or any children, don't have as much energy as it would seem and the last thing they need is to lose life energy. Unless you're a teenager and you're feeding from other teenagers just avoid that field ok?

Aside from humans you can feed from animals and plants, just nature in general. The earth has a lot of energy you can feed from without causing damage. I suggest not feeding from small animals for the same reason as children. Houseplants can be killed easily as well. So if you're one of those people wondering why they have a black thumb, you've got your answer.

Feeding from the elements is often used as a supplement. A lot of psy's enjoy feeding from rainstorms, I hear about it a lot. Fire is a good source but not something you can live off of. If you meditate in a field surrounded by nature and just focus on the energies around you, you can balance yourself and your energy field will feel revitalized, both to you and to others.

In part 2 I will give feeding techniques and hopefully it can help beginners get their bearings.
