I have been reading through the site and noticed a lot of questions about Awakening and 'symptoms'. I am not by any means an expert and I have just recently 'Awakened' actually I have 'come out of the coffin' as well. I have several of the 'symptoms', yet I also have been studying the occult for almost twelve years now (on and off) and some of the symptoms are similar to phenomena I have experienced in deep trance states and meditations. Here are a few hints to see if you are a psychic Vampyre, or even an aspiring Magi/Witch/Sorcerer/Sorceress.
Use the Scientific Method (this method actually holds all the methods you need)
1. Observe- Pay attention to how you feel and what you notice may be different about yourself. Notice any changes in behavior or if people treat you differently or if they seem more drained than usual when you are around. Observe your effect on the environment, elements, people, animals and situations. If you are controlling and making things unusual happen or feel more psychically open than you may be Awakening, or just a psychic or a sorcerer/sorceress.
2. Theorize- Check past journals and ask close friends and trusted relatives about any changes they may have noticed in you, or any particularly strange things about you. You don't need to suggest Vampyrism at all, just ask questions and see if the answers fit with the profile of the Vampyre (or Otherkin) Awakenings and symptoms. Dig deep in history, mythology and occult sources and see if any of these 'strike a chord' (feel right).
3. Test- Go to a very crowded area, such as a mall, party, concert, workshop or even school or the workplace and 'feed'. See if you can feel the energy of the place and find a place where it seems to gather, such as the center stage or main quad of the school. Feel the energy of the crown enter your body (certain books will say through the solar plexus, I just feel it enter my aura and infuse my being than I feed any extra back into my aura). Breathe in and hold, feeling the energy enter and mingle. Breathe out and feel the energy expand around your body, fueling your aura and replenishing you. Repeat for several breaths. Don't over do it, though, because just like physical food, you can consume too much energy causing more damage than good or you could start taking too much from someone unconsciously, causing sickness and possible mental disorientation. By feeding from the "ambient energy" you are not taking anything you are not supposed to take, because it is free floating energy that will just dissipate anyway. You are actually doing Earth a favor by storing would be chaotic energies. Only do this in a happy setting until you gain more experience in filtering and/or clearing negativity.
Play with energy from different modalities such as Reiki, Pranic Healing, Qigong (Chi Gung or Ch'i Kung), Quantum Touch, etc. Read up and experiment with Psi and PK (psychokinesis), astral projection, meditation and magic(k), such as Wicca or Chaos Magic (if you are in to the darker aspects). Of course, getting books on psychic Vampyrism is a good idea, although many do not want those under the age of 18 attempting Vampyric Arts for legal and safety issues, hence the suggestions at the beginning of this paragraph.
4. Conclude- What was the effect of the ambient feed? Did it revitalize you? Did it sicken you or cause any harmful side effects? Did it not do anything? What were your results with magic(k), the other energy modalities, Psi and PK?
This may not answer your question of Awakening, as only your own experiences and intuition can tell you that, I just hope this helps those in need of answers.
In conclusion, just because you take energy and may get energized from it does not mean you are a Vampyre. You could just be a very skilled Magi in the making as harnessing and manipulating energies is a basic and key practice in the occult arts. For example certain occult Orders use the Arts of Vampyrism as a tool for their sorceries, even though they are not actually Vampyres.
Be careful and wise in your experiments and I hope all of you searching find your answers. May you have good luck, many blessings and fun times on your journeys!
