In my life ive had my share of unusual spiritual experiences ,never gave it too much thought ,but starting to wonder now what in th &(/¤ is lurking around after an encounter with what I would call "manifested pure sorrow and pain" and it wanted my energy, seen some weird stuff and evil through the years but this really made me sad, anyone know anything about beings of sorrow stealing energy ??? anyone  :D

It could be many things.

If it's something outside of you, try sending it love and understanding. I may be
someone who needs to know that they should move on.

People in deep sorrow and pain are sometimes desperate to feel better, but just don't see a way or a path to that state any more.  My sister is like that after the death of our mother this past week.  I feel the weight of sadness from her death too - even as I write this, like a weight on my chest and a squeezing of my torso.  But I can focus, temporarily on other tasks, and by nature when we do that, we lessen the sadness, if only for a moment.

Whoever you encountered was likely crying for help, and if they saw your positive energy, they probably wanted to emulate it or feel like you felt - hence the energy drain. But of course until they change their thought/belief process, and let go of the sorrow, cultivating acceptance, their situation may not improve.


Matthew

Sorrow shared is not as lonely.

Even loss can be transformed into memories which enrich our lives, so the presence of loved ones can be felt later as positive. Daily prayers which include those who have crossed over are also helpful in times of loss, giving a ritual which will help anchor us. Then, we can move on to live our lives, which is what our loved ones would want for us anyway.

I am sorry for your loss, Matthew. This will, however, bring out the strength of your family as they draw closer together.

In answer to this question, about having an energy transfer. That happens to me a lot. Meditation is how I strengthen myself, and I do it in varying ways. They all work.

I agree with the idea that love is to be shared. Giving love only makes it bigger, not smaller. Sharing love only makes it wider and deeper.  We all have guides who test us, and bring out the bigger better "loving us" which exists beneath the "smaller us" which we sometimes believe we are.

If that makes any sense.  Hope it does.

I know about stealing energy. I have experienced that energy was stolen from me in certain situations in the past. I didn't like it at all. My energy is mine.

You don't seem to know who those beings are that steal energy from you.
It could be people you are close related to like family or intimate friends who connect with you on a more or less unconscious level. If such is the case I think they don't know how to really steal your energy and I guess you just have to sit it out and try to keep your energy to yourself as best as you can until their sad mood passes over.

If they are non-physical beings it can be more difficult. Then you have to watch more closely what you think, how you think, what you feel and how you feel and try to understand how those beings connect to you and tap in to you energy. You can only cut yourself loose from them if you recognize the way how they connect to you and steal your energy.

So you have to work on it. Become more conscious of the way you think, how you get into certain kinds of moods, how they influence your thinking and how they establish a connection with you by joining you in your thinking and feeling.

Once you find out how they join you in your thinking and feeling you can start to close yourself off from them.

But if you would come to an understanding that their sorrow is related to you you might want to decide to give them your love.

It's a personal situation. I cannot tell you which way to go. I don't know you and I don't know the beings that "steal" your energy.
