How To Deal With Negative Souls
June 24, 2010 by Akemi
I’m not so excited to write about negative souls, or darkworkers. Even though I try to be informative and non-judgmental when I write about them, I receive considerable backlash anyway. And still, it’s a fact at this time of our evolution that there are negative souls, so I think it’s to our benefit to learn how to deal with them.
Who negative souls are
When I say “negative” souls, it’s not about judgment. What I mean is they are moving in reverse. Positive souls evolve toward the Light and receive the vital life energy from the Light Source, which is the only authentic Source of energy, the Source that has brought forth all beings in this universe.
Negative souls have refused to evolve toward the Light at some point. Which immediately put them in energy supply problem. Because they are not evolving toward Light, they do not receive the vital life energy from the Light Source and so they have to scout the energy somewhere else, usually from the people around them.
Because of this, quite a few people have asked me if negative souls / darkworkers are the same with “energy vampires”. Well, not quite. Even positive souls suck up other people’s energy from time to time while some negative souls do it so tactfully you hardly ever feel it.
How to tell if someone is a negative soul
I’ve seen articles that list the telltale signs of energy vampires. Like someone who is always in the drama. Or someone who makes “negative” comments or harbors “negative” feelings. Or someone who tend to be a loner. And so forth.
For me, this kind of checklist means nothing. If a negative soul is so easy to find, like with a simple checklist, life is a piece of cake. Only a really dumb person gets sucked up in that case, right?
I guess I am pretty sensitive energetically, yet I don’t always notice negative souls in my life until I come “very close”. Even then, I only sense something strangely sticky, that’s all. (Of course, if I am reading their Akashic Records, then I’d know for sure.) And the person in front of me may be a model citizen with many friends, or may be a healer. (And positive souls may be a loaner, may be in a depressed state)
Another way to look at negative souls
Mrs. Jones was listening to the local radio and heard there was a car driving the wrong side of the freeway, make it extremely dangerous. She was so concerned that she called her husband on his cell phone. He said, “It’s not just one car. Everyone is driving against me.”
So, for now, let’s forget about how negative souls may appear. One way to think of negative souls is the joke above.
With driving, it’s obvious when a car is on the wrong side of the road. Plus there are policemen enforcing the law. With souls and energy flows, it’s not so obvious, however. For one thing, there are a solid number of souls going against the authentic flow (perhaps 10 to 15% of the population), so negative souls can form their peer groups to justify their way of living and to feel okay with themselves.
And we are talking about invisible energy flows. It’s quite possible that negative souls themselves don’t know what may be wrong. All they feel is, for some strange reason, there are so many others who are flowing against themselves.
(If you think you know so many “negative souls” in your life, you might want to stop and think here.)
How negative souls cope with life
So being a negative soul is tough. Because of the nagging discomfort they feel at the core, plenty of negative souls make sincere efforts to improve their lives. Some are devoted to charities and other social movements. Some are into healing. It seems to me that they would try everything except the very basic simple thing — to have an honest relationship with themselves, wtih the Source and with other human beings.
Again, they may have good social life with many friends. Or they may be loners after all. Even though these two types may appear to be opposite types, they are just two ways to cope with the overall sense that “there are many souls flowing against me.” I have the feeling that negative souls are fundamentally lonely even with an impressive circle of friends.
How to deal with the negative souls
My interest in this article is not about identifying negative souls. It’s about how to live with them. We can do this without worrying about who may be negative souls because the way we best deal with negative souls is the way we best deal with anyone.
Love.
Wait, not that fuzzy, mushy love. I’m talking about the fundamental love.
It doesn’t mean we yield to the demands and manipulations of the negative souls. It means we act in our highest path and purpose, regardless of who we may be dealing with. It’s love with detachment.
It doesn’t mean we save others out of the consequences of their acts and their feelings. Let them feel their feelings, negative or whatever. That some feelings are “negative” is only in our judgment. Let them have the consequences while we stand where we are, not away from them, not with them, either.
Let them be who they are. Let them see who they are.
No judgments, no need to change them. Let’s accept that our current evolution is such that we still have them. They are reminders to overall human evolution.
Ironically, this may prompt them to change. Maybe. But again, we cannot force them to change. It’s up to them.
The shield of Love
The point is not them. It’s me. It’s me in the energy of Love. When I am, I see you are me. This condition, surrounded with the light of love, is completely incomprehensible to negative souls. (Heck, it’s only partially comprehensible for me, too, but my spirit guides tell me to wrote this down)
In order for the negative souls to take energy from you, they need to place an energetic hook on your heart chakra. Once this connection is established, they can take energy from you whether you are in their proximity or not.
When you are in the light of love, I don’t think negative souls can even attempt to place the hook on you. So you are safe. Without doing any defensive work.
In conclusion, I acknowledge that my motivation to write this article was not entirely selfless. If more positive souls quit providing energy to negative souls and let them see themselves as they are, it may prompt them to come back to Light. (We can never make them so, we can only do our part that may prompt them to change.) And less cars driving the wrong direction means safer and more pleasant driving for everyone, including myself.

Is having a negative soul hook into your heart chakra and steal your energy the same as having a compassionate connection with a person? Is that just a nicer way to put it? Because they sound like similar situations.
Jennifer,
With compassionate connections, the soul voluntarily offers his or her vital life energy to another. With hooks, the receiver takes advantage of another soul and steals their energy. They are both energetic issues where the vital energy flows from one soul to another, but the dynamics are different.
And even the compassionate connections are ultimately problematic because we want to rely on the authentic source of energy, not anther soul, for our vital energy.
Ahh yes. This makes sense. Is it possible to have a compassionate connection with a negative soul?
Jennifer,
I guess it’s entirely possible to have compassionate connection with any souls.
I have a close relative who is definitely a negative soul. I spent years trying to change her. Bad idea!! Now I just put up what I call my “negativity shield” and let her be her without affecting me. I think it’s working much better for both of us.
Thanks Akemi for the excellent post. It was helpful to me in learning to deal with this situation.
Karen,
You are welcome. Right, we cannot change anyone, we can only change ourselves. Good thing you have learned that!
I know this post was written for positive souls (I guess the negative souls don’t read your blog anyway). But let’s say someone learns they have a negative soul, and they want to change. Are they able to?
I mean, can the mind/body choose to turn towards the light when the soul doesn’t want to? Or does the soul have to want to change first?
Hunter,
Great point! And by the way, negative souls do come to read my blog. I guess this blog is unique in that as a spiritual blog…
When a soul comes back to Light, it’s a soul level change, so it’s not a temporary fancy thought. I am not sure exactly how this happens, but I do know this can happen because I know some souls that were previously negative souls who have turned positive.
It doesn’t seem to be about “wanting” to be positive. I know some souls that were never informed they were negative and somehow turned to positive (sometimes after my Akashic Record Reading clearing, sometimes unrelated to it). LIke many major changes, it seems huge (and yes, it IS huge), but the actual change may take just a little adjusting… after all, it’s just about turning around to flow toward the Light.
I still have some questions about this topic myself, so I know this answer is not complete, but I hope this offers some ideas.

Hi Akemi – I avoided this post at first because like you, I try to avoid negative souls. The love part is difficult. I do try to avoid negative souls but sometimes, they can get to you through others, without even having direct contact and it can be draining.
I get annoyed by the actions of some negative souls and find the unconditional love thing so difficult. But I’m trying to master it because allowing these dark souls to affect my mood is allowing them to win.
Hi Akemi. Does a soul that lives in constant fear (for example fear of criminality fear of hurricanes etc.) to the extreme that the person develop a psicological anxiety problem, is a negative soul?
What happens to people that has any kind of anxiety problems? are they negative because they choosed to be like that or is it really a health problem?
Cath,
Well, I don’t particularly avoid negative souls. I don’t seek them out, and if I am in the position to choose, like choosing a hairdresser, I sure choose the positive ones that I feel comfortable with. But at the same time, if a negative soul comes to me for help, I do what I can do.
Of course, there is very little to help negative souls. The majority of their problems stem from the fact that they are going backward, and I cannot change that for them. And most negative souls don’t understand this, so they tend to think people are not helpful to them. . . Yes, pretty futile…
John,
I have no idea if a person is positive soul or negative soul until I read their Akashic Records. I really doubt if their way of feeling, such as fear, is any good indication of it. Of course, they may be, but at the same time, they may just be positive souls with a load of energetic issues.

Hey Akemi, thanks for writing this. I think there’s a big tendency to avoiding talking about certain things in the spiritual world and I don’t like it – I’m happy you wrote about it anyway.
It took me a while to take the blinkers off my eyes and see how things really are – without becoming a paranoid conspiracy theorist in the process – but it really is much more comfortable to be able to accept that some things aren’t all rosy. While keeping your eyes towards the light.
Thanks Akemi, thanks Akemi’s guides, great post.
Andrew,
Great point. I think some “spiritual” people inhibit themselves from talking anything that is not rosy, thinking it is not loving. I was kind of that way myself before. But I now think unconditional love is not about being blind or swallowing words but about seeing things as they are, talking straight, and yet accepting what is.
Thank you for crediting my spirit guides — they are the ones who really wrote this… and many other articles.

I speak my mind and bounce back their negativity back to them as ethically sound and wisely mannered as possible that would hit the foundation of their chakra and knock them down. SEED PLANTED!
Bounce back!
