During the calling hours, funeral services and funeral reception following my mother's funeral, I spoke with many, many people. There were lots of embraces and handshakes, lots of warm condolences. However, there were a few people in the crowd who stood out to me in an uncomfortable way, so much so, that by the end of all these services, I was in serious sensory overload. I was particularly unsettled by the unstable ones. A few people I understood intuitively to have dementia or mental illness and I felt compassion for them, but there was one woman who had such a dark energy, she frightened me a bit. She claimed to know me but I don't remember her. This woman didn't move on in the receiving line, but stood in front of me for the longest time, staring, not talking. It wasn't a kind look. I found out later, she presented herself the same way to my sister. Very odd and it's still bothering me. So, fellow intuitives, how do you deal with this type of experience?
Hi Bluebelle,
I’m new to the forum. I tend to feel the energies of those around me and sometimes those energies are positive and sometimes negative. A while back there was someone in our group of friends from my husband’s work whose energy consistently left me drained. I don’t even know that she was aware of the effect her energy had on others. My sister suggested something to me to do to help protect myself from those kinds of energies: She said to envision light surrounding me and to envision a mirror on the outside of that light bubble so that any negative energy would be reflected back at the person giving it off. Additionally, now any time I feel unwell after dealing with negative energy from someone, I do a short meditation in which I visualize breathing in light with every breath to clear away any negative energy - kind of like blowing away the cobwebs. I hope that doesn’t sound too strange and helps!
Ooo Bluebelle, that's a good one.
I would have put my hand over my 3rd chakra and shifted sideways to disconnect any energy transfer, which usually denies energy vampires their food & they move on. Then pull up earth energy through 1st Chakra, pull down spirit energy through 7th, mingle them in my heart chakra, then use that to form the mirrored bubble, like Baba says.
I've also asked spirit to take care of them....away from me. Usually works.

I have had such people show up in life from time to time. Mine have never spoken too me only been there and I couldn't explain the aura they gave off except for negative and even evil.
One was a tall blonde young man who instantly reminded me of a Hitler youth member. It was at a presentation by a famous Ethiopian healer who was in Oregon on an invitation and series of workshops and healings with a free one (that I attended) at our library.
I kept waiting for our presenter to look at him as a sign of any kind. He talked about others in the group indirectly including direct connection with me but avoided the blonde youth.
Much later in the hour and a half presentation with me pyschically asking the healer who the youth was and why did I feel as I did about him, the presented said...."There are those of you who carry many gifts within you." Then he paused and paused and looked at the blonde youth and continued "and one very old enemy" and I practically fell off my chair. At that point, I did feel fear or at least intense curiousity!
Several years later when I was talking to a guest/friend/mentor she told me a story asking me something similar to your question. She had been at an import store in Seattle where she purchased the Chinese healing herbal medicines she used in her practice and a tall blonde youth came up to her (she did not know my story about my experience) and his description in all ways was mine. She said after she left the store, as a powerful intuitive herself, she felt he'd stolen something from her. But nothing materialistic was missing.
She was terrified and I chose not to cement her terror in but work on healing the fear instead and whatever it's presence or theft had done to her.
All I can add is it seems to be important to not give them importance. Admit how they feel or the emotions they bring up in you or that you know who they are, but don't let any worry or fear associated with them take or have power over you. Get out the feather duster or some sage, or a crucifix or holy water and bid them adieu! Out, Out!
Remember...moths are drawn to the flame of light but they can also end there and then.
Bluebelle,
There are great responses here, the protective bubble is great. In addition to the outer mirror that reflects the bad energy back to the person who has discomforted you, you can place mirrors inside to reflect your good energy back to yourself.
I love R1's suggestion to physically block your chakra. Also, physically disengage from this type of energy as soon as possible.
Since she is still bothering you to a degree, you can ask your guides or Angels to remove her from your presence. You can also ask for a cord cutting. This is usually used for a person you are involved with on a deeper level and have agreed to share energy with, but since she claims to know you and your sister, and was at your mother's funeral, it may be necessary.
As a bit of an aside, I have to marvel at your remarkably clear perceptions in such a stressful setting. I know from experience that sensory overload doesn't begin to describe it.
It feels to me that you have chosen to elevate your spiritual connection in your time of grief rather than sublimate it. Which is completely in line with the beautiful soul you are, and serves as a shining example to all who know you.
Much Love as always!
