Recognize energy manipulators – also known as energy vampires. I like to refer to them as manipulators because they don’t always take your energy, they often try to pass on their negative energy, or influence yours in some way.

I release the need to allow anyone to take or manipulate my energy in any way. I am safe.
Be Unstoppable!
