Uzi Moses PhD uses Zohar teachings to explain how to spot draining people: notice if you feel heavier, foggy, or smaller after being with them. They normalize stagnation, turn responsibility into pressure, and bond through complaint. The Zohar advises avoiding them entirely, not out of hatred but as protection for your own growth.
Chapters
Here's how the Zohar says you identify draining people fast. Not by what they say. By what happens to you after. After spending time with them, ask yourself one question: Do I feel clearer or heavier? Draining people leave you tired, foggy, smaller, even if the conversation was calm. They normalize stagnation. They discourage growth without attacking it. They turn responsibility into pressure and comfort into a trap. The Zohar teaches that true connection expands light. If a relationship constantly shrinks your courage, that is not chemistry, that is leakage. They talk a lot about problems. Rarely about solutions. They bond through complaint, not vision. You start explaining yourself more around them, justifying your growth, downplaying your ambition. That is your soul signaling danger. The Zohar does not say hate them. It says do not mix with them. Awareness is protection. Save this. You will need it sooner than you think.
