			<p>Have you been in a situation where you were completely obsessed, terrorised and emotionally crippled with the fear of what the narcissist was going to do next, and then your worst fears came true?</p>
<p>The smear campaign hit with maximum effect, the phone call to your boss discrediting you happened, and the threat the narcissist was holding over you was executed with ruthless intensity.</p>
<p>Or …<span id="more-1002"></span></p>
<p>Have you ever had the experience of <em>releasing </em>the fear of what the narcissist could do to you, and <em>instead </em>focused on aligning with positive beliefs such as: <em>No one has the power to control me or affect my life</em>, and <em>I am the powerful creator of myself and my happiness</em>, and <em>then </em>as a result the narcissist could do nothing, and / or stopped terrorising you?</p>
<p>It seemed that <em>effortlessly </em>no one believed the narcissist’s slander, the phone call to your boss was dismissed as garbage, and the threat the narcissist proclaimed to do never came to fruition.</p>
<p>Why is this?</p>
<p>The answer to this question, I believe, is one of the most important lessons in your journey of narcissistic abuse recovery.</p>
<p>When you understand what I am going to share with you in this article, the narcissist will have no power to affect your life, and you will experience the true empowerment and freedom to <em>create a narcissistic free life.</em></p>

<h2>The Narcissist Is Your Vibrational Mirror</h2>
<p>You may not have realised the narcissist is your complete vibrational and emotional gauge.</p>
<p>Likewise you may not have understood yet that the narcissist is the most incredible ‘tool’ to assist you to understand Law of Attraction.</p>
<p>As a result of having a narcissist in your life, you will <em>point blank </em>know when your energy <em>is not working, </em>and when your energy <em>is working.</em></p>
<p>The narcissist is the most incredible <em>mirror </em>in your life to <em>teach you </em>what an incredible manifestor you really are.</p>
<p>If we look at this from pure ‘energy terms’ (and truly there is no other way to look at this, because it’s from energy that everything we know as ‘real’ is created), the narcissist on his or her own does not have <em>any </em>authentic energy.</p>
<p><a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/how-to-defeat-a-psychic-energy-vampire/">The narcissistic is an energy ‘sucker’, we may say ‘vampire’</a>, who has to steal energy in order to obtain it.</p>
<p>What this means is, the narcissist in your experience can <em>only </em>operate in your experience depending on ‘where your energy is at’, because he or she doesn’t have any of his or her own.</p>
<p>You may think this is really far-fetched, but please keep an open mind and read on …</p>
<p>Have you ever seen the manically depressed, lifeless narcissist who has not been able to get <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/12-common-ways-narcissists-target-and-ensnare-their-victims-for-grade-a-supply/">narcissistic supply</a>?</p>
<p>If you have, you know exactly what I mean.</p>
<p>This is why narcissists report in the morning that they wake up and <em>need </em>to get going in order to find narcissistic supply – just like a drug addict needs a fix. (Yes, narcissists suffering <em>narcissistic injury </em>who are momentarily humble and truthful <em>all report this.</em>)</p>
<p>When you understand Energetic Reality, which is very <em>real and powerful </em>(even though you can’t physically see it) you realise that energy vampires don’t require actual physical contact to suck your energy and be energised by it.</p>
<p>When narcissists extract energy they are capable of really nasty behaviour <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/7-ways-to-say-no-to-people-who-wont-respect-your-boundaries/">without conscience or respect for boundaries</a> … We know this, we have all experienced their brutality …</p>
<p>Okay so now please really absorb what I am about to say …</p>
<p>Here it comes …</p>
<p>I have received TONS of real-life evidence that supports the following:</p>
<p>If you dwell on, obsess over, have angst, fear, terror, panic or anxiety in regard to the narcissist in your life – over any topic whatsoever – the narcissist receives an <em>energy feed, </em>and <em>powers up</em> to throw back at you exactly the results of your fear and pain.</p>
<p>I cannot tell you how many clients I have worked with, as well as received reports from individuals starting the <a title="Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program" href="https://courses.melanietoniaevans.com/p/narp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NARP Program</a>, who <em>initially </em>were stuck in custody, settlement, and <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/6-ways-to-prepare-when-going-no-contact-with-a-narcissist/">No Contact battles</a>, and were so anxious, so consumed with Post and Complicated Traumatic Stress disorder and their inability to think straight and function, that their life was like a continual war-zone.</p>
<p>Their narcissist seemed like an unrelenting terminator, a dog with a bone, doing <em>everything and anything </em>to rip their lives apart.</p>
<p>I too have lived this experience <em>exactly …</em></p>
<p>Sadly, it is synonymous with the <em>normal </em><a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/5-steps-to-building-a-better-life-after-narcissistic-abuse/">narcissistic abuse experience.</a></p>
<p>But truly, <em>it does not have to be this ‘normal’ way.</em></p>
<p>Part of my awakening to <em>how to heal narcissistic abuse, </em>was the understanding that the narcissist is a magnified <em>manifestation of our fears.</em></p>
<p>Therefore if you have the ‘normal’ charges of fear, pain and distress running, the narcissist fuels up and hits you like a freight train.</p>
<p>But what happens, when the fear and pain shifts?</p>
<p><em>Miracles.</em></p>
<p><em>Literally.</em></p>
<p>That’s what happens.</p>
<p>Truly … I am not kidding you. I have seen it so many times, there have been too many ‘coincidences,’ too many things fall into place for the person shifting out of fear, and too many narcissists who have fallen over, given up, and failed …</p>
<p>These miracles include every topic imaginable, such as property, <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/leading-the-way-for-your-children/">children turned against the non-narcissistic parent</a>, smear campaigns, intimidation and any other nasty drama that narcissists do.</p>
<p>Why is it property settlements are locked in battle for three years and then the narcissist signs the agreement one week after the shift happens?</p>
<p>Why is it children who have not spoken to the non-narcissistic parent for 5 years make contact to reconnect out of the blue after the shift occurs?</p>
<p>Why is it people who have been poisoned by the narcissist all of a sudden turn their back on the narcissist and seek allegiance with you when your pain is released on this?</p>
<p>Why is it the stalking, the terror campaigns and threats stop and never recommence after the fear has been transformed and replaced with safe and empowered beliefs?</p>
<p>This is not a novel. It’s not a story I am writing you … it has been proven to me time and time again.</p>
<p>In fact I have never known it to turn out any other way.</p>
<p>I know this is <em>true</em> for very powerful reasons … I have lived it personally, and I experience the reports from clients and people who do the shifts out of pain – <em>every day.</em></p>
<p>I also understand the deeper levels of <em>what is really going on here …</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Journey To True Empowerment – Letting Go Of The Need To ‘Do Something’</h2>
<p>The narcissist is the most vivid teacher showing you that you aren’t powerless, rather that you are an incredible vibrational creator. One of the most powerful reasons you have drawn a narcissist into your life is to break you out of the illusions of the human experience – which is: <em>we are powerful in ‘doing’.</em></p>
<p>We think that in times of pain, fear and anxiety by combating it by ‘doing something’ we can change our outer experience, and <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/how-to-soothe-ptsd-anxiety-and-depression-3-minute-exercise/">find the ways to reduce our pain, fear and anxiety</a>.</p>
<p>This is <em>a total illusion.</em></p>
<p>We don’t make good choices in these states, and we are ineffectual in our doing. We feel so fearful and separated by life we forget we are <em>connected to all that is. </em>We forget that life responds to our vibration – and that we are unlimited and <em>all of life in our experience </em>responds to our vibration <em>in combinations and possibilities </em>that we cannot even begin to imagine.</p>
<p><em>When we think we are separated </em>and it is us against all the outer conditions with no support, we become very ‘small’ and achieve very ‘small’ (if any) good results.</p>
<p>In fact our results usually turn out one way only – <em>terrible </em>…</p>
<p>When it comes to narcissists, we aren’t powerful in doing.</p>
<p>Clearly …</p>
<p>No matter how much we try to combat them, outsmart them, and try to stay one step ahead of them, the narcissist will always trump, one-up, escalate and create more damage … it does NOT work!</p>
<p>This entire experience is teaching you about your <em>true power</em>, it is teaching you that when you create belief systems, emotional knowing and alignments <em>deep within yourself </em>you get to choose and create you reality <em>regardless</em> of what is going on outside of yourself.</p>
<p>You get to learn that <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/the-outer-and-the-inner-what-is-life-showing-us/"><em>your outer experience is created by your inner experience</em></a>, and you are not going to get off the hook of the horrendous experience of narcissistic abuse by dealing with it using the ‘old system’.</p>
<p>Your back is up against the wall with <em>only one way out</em> – and that way out is, creating your reality from a <em>new way</em>, the way we were always intended to, but were never taught.</p>
<p>Seriously you don’t have to believe me … you may find this article far-fetched.</p>
<p>Once upon a time (before my narcissistic abuse experience) I would have too … which is another reason <em>why I am so grateful for it </em>because <a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/how-to-rebuild-your-life-after-narcissistic-abuse-no-matter-how-much-youve-lost/">it took me to a level of awareness and life that I couldn’t have even previously dreamed of</a>.</p>
<p>Not just with the narcissist, <em>but in every area of my life.</em></p>
<p>If you have already found out this fact as your truth, and been using this golden key, you will believe me, because you have already been living the incredible results.</p>
<p>If you haven’t yet, whether or not you believe me, truly you will not realise that the inner state creates the outer reality, until you put away the old way of <em>‘I’ll believe it when I see it’</em> and start working on becoming the energy of <em>‘When I believe it, I’ll see it’</em>, and experience the results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Journey To True Empowerment – Focusing On Your Inner Being</h2>
<p>Stop running around in the ‘doing’ in order to combat the narcissist – because if you do (and of course you would have tried it – it’s normal to ‘do’ that) you know the harder you go at it, the more you step into the ring with a heavyweight who pummels you to brokenness and submission no matter how hard you swing.</p>
<p><a href="https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/narcissists-are-a-false-self/">You see the narcissist is <em>the heavyweight </em>of <em>false power …</em></a></p>
<p>Try working with the ‘unseen’ … try making it your biggest mission to change your emotional state on what is happening. Make it your greatest focus to rid yourself of the fear, the pain, the anxiety and the dread, and become <em>the beliefs and emotional vibration of what you want instead.</em></p>
<p>I promise you, if this is where you focus your energy and effort, by the time you have released your fears and pain, and stepped into your true power of knowing and operating as the creator, you will look back at the boxing ring and see a ‘nobody’, an empty person who is powerless to do anything to you and your life.</p>
<p>The narcissist is completely out of his or her league <em>when faced with true power …</em></p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because the narcissist has no energy to operate in your experience if you grant none – none whatsoever …</p>
<p>… and within the evolved experience you get to choose; <em>you as the creator</em> is another universe away from the narcissist’s false reality …</p>
<p>He or she can’t touch it, and certainly <em>cannot</em> exist, let alone function in that frequency.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Don&#8217;t Spend Another Christmas Alone</h2>
<p>How do you feel at Christmas time if you don&#8217;t have someone special to share it with?</p>
<p>I know how I used to feel coming into the most important family time of year being single. I felt depressed, very sad and in intense emotional pain. In fact I was devastated that I would again do Christmas alone, something that I vowed and declared every New Year I wouldn&#8217;t <em>ever</em> go through again!</p>
<p>But when it came around to finding a way out of this loneliness, I felt powerless. I mean you can&#8217;t just &#8216;pluck a partner out of thin air&#8217;. I had no idea where to find one, or how to go about getting one.</p>
<p>I was horrified of the thought of dating, and my only hope was to wait and hope that a decent man, that I could be attracted to, who wasn&#8217;t going to turn out to be an abuser, would show up in my life.</p>
<p>Little did I know that so much of my relationship disappointment was to do with the cold, hard fact&#8230;<em>I had no idea how to be The Chooser</em>. I was letting men pick me at random, whoever would turn up next and meet my needs at the time, much like a lottery where the numbers are picked at random.</p>
<p>As a result I ended up in relationships where men were not meeting my needs, I was frustrated, angry, and completed shocked and upset that again, just when I thought I had found &#8216;the one&#8217;, I was stuck in a painful, unhappy and unsatisfying relationship – knowing that soon I was going to have to be single, and start from scratch all over again.</p>
<p>How could a relationship work for me, when my safety and love needs were not met, values were not aligned, and I was spending copious amounts of energy trying to get this partner to be the great guy I thought he should be?</p>
<p>As Barbara De Angelis says &#8220;The number one reason why people suffer failed relationships is poor partner choice.&#8221;</p>
<p>You may relate to the dilemma and pain of creating a new relationship&#8230; you may feel like:</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>You don&#8217;t know what you want in a relationship</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t believe you deserve rights within a relationship</li>
<li>You may believe chemical attraction is meeting your needs, without evaluating who the man truly is</li>
<li>You may have no idea how to ascertain whether or not someone wants what you want, or has values aligned with yours</li>
<li>You might be terrified that you could fall in love with someone who is going to hurt you all over again</li>
<li>You may be fearful of getting out of a relationship, not wanting to start again, and deciding to settle for second, third or even a hundredth best – but better than &#8216;no relationship&#8217; huh?</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>There are Solutions</h2>
<p>The good news is everyone is capable of becoming the chooser, and I can show you how.</p>
<p>By making the changes required, I promise you, you will not have to endure these love disappointments ever again. In fact powerfully you can become an attraction force aligned with people who are healthy, safe and loving. In fact, just like Laurie you can have individuals wanting committed and fulfilling relationship literally queuing up to meet you! (Trust me, she never believed, previously, it was possible either!)</p>
<p>I can show you how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dig deep within yourself to find exactly what values and needs you desire to create a fulfilling relationship.</li>
<li>Step into your deservedness and create strong healthy boundaries so that people that match your values and needs will be attracted to and chosen by you, and ones that are not a match will be easily ignored and discarded.</li>
<li>Utilise Law of Attraction techniques allowing you to flow into creating rewarding love experiences like you&#8217;ve never experienced!</li>
</ul>
<p>If you literally dread being alone again this Christmas, or any time in your life that you would like to experience partnership, loyalty, support and connection <em>which you deserve to experiencing every day of the year</em> then please: <strong><br />
