As we fed our parent and gave it what it wanted in order for us to feel loved, we often internalized it unconsciously. Feeding our own hunger from within is critical. By opening to the core energy of love inside, which is connected to the Universal Energy Flow, we can always be filled and never need to take another's energy or power again. The main key is the recognition that There is plenty of energy, plenty of life blood, for everyone when we tap into the Universal Source. When we are in touch with this limitless supply and then connect with another person who is full and complete within, love is very different.
Healthy interdependency can then occur.
The next level of healing is accomplished by bringing the vampire out of the shadows and into the light of consciousness so we can release its hold on us. The integration of all our light and dark aspects allows us to transcend duality, thus freeing the vampire into the light of love, allowing it to return home to the Oneness.
