When we begin to find inner peace we become ultra aware of everything in our lives that threatens that peace. Most are easy to deal with, some are not.

One area that is persistently difficult to overcome is the behaviour of others. After awakening a new way of living begins to arise, and something one must be very conscious of is the particularly damaging effect that other people can have on your self-worth, self-esteem and self-respect and ultimately your peace.

Nobody is perfect and everyone has the capacity to be negative at times, however there are many people in the world who are far darker, more persistent and more malevolent than the usual flaws a person may carry. I speak of the narcissist, the energy vampire and the unconscious, be wary of these people and make no mistake about their ill intentions, a single person like this can ruin your life, I really mean it.

Awareness is key, and understanding these beings is a powerful first step to liberating oneself, next up some other strategies will be required such as the cut-off, the grey rock and ultimately self-realisation (self-actualisation)

In this episode I discuss who they are, why they are the way they are, ways to spot them in your life and some approaches to defend yourself from their influence. Do not despair, brighter days are coming, we can heal, learn, grow and recover.
