What are Empathic Psychic Abilities?
An empathic psychic is
also known as an "empath". Empaths have the ability to sense and
experience the feelings of others, similar to the way telepaths can sense the
thoughts of others. In fact, empathy and telepathy are closely related psychic
abilities.
Usually, clairsentient
psychics, (psychics with "clear feeling"), possess empathic psychic
abilities. Empathic abilities are rare, but not unheard of.
Characteristics of an
Empath
Empaths display
these characteristics:
The Empathic Spectrum
Not all psychics have
the same amount of empathic power. Some psychics have only basic empathic
abilities, while others have extremely advanced empathic powers. Most empaths
fall somewhere in the middle.
Psychics with the most
basic empathic abilities can sense what another is feeling, and can sometimes
feel their emotions. These psychics can only understand some of what others are
feeling.
Psychics with the most
advanced empathic abilities can feel everything that other's are feeling. When
engaged in empathic practice, these psychics often become so engaged people's
feelings, that they momentarily loose sight of their own identity. Psychics
such as these may be able to send emotional signals, and project their own
feelings onto others.
Empathic Healing
Many empaths choose to
use their abilities to heal others. Empaths usually place their hands on
someone, in order to understand what they are feeling. This way, an empath can
focus directly in on what the patient needs.
Powerful empathic
psychics can share the feelings of others, in order to relieve their pain. Loss
and grief are two common feelings that a powerful empath can share and lessen.
To reverse this method, a psychic can also share their own feelings to spread
joy and happiness.
A Gift or a Curse?
Because empaths spend so
much time worrying about the feelings of others, they can forget to worry about
themselves. Empaths may experience poor health as a result of self-neglect,
emotional stress, and physical fatigue.
On the other hand,
healing and spreading feelings of joy is a rare and wonderful gift!

The psychic ability
of empathy is often misunderstood. Some people compare it to other related
psychic abilities such as clairsentience and psychometry. While
clairsentience allows the psychic to “pick-up” the emotions and physical
reactions of others, unlike an empath, the psychic doesn't necessarily feel
them as her own emotions or physical pain. Many believe that clairsentience
is a more highly-evolved form of empathy. Psychometry is the ability to
receive information that can include all of the senses by simply touching an
object or person without the intensity an empath experiences. Understanding the Empathetic Nature
An empath feels the
emotions and physical pains of others as intensely or more than her own. This
barrage of sensations can over-stimulate the empath and even manifest as
erratic behavior. What Does
It Feel Like?
An empath is so
sensitive to the energies surrounding her, especially the energies of other
people, that she can fall victim to tremendous stress and inner conflict. It
can feel like an electrical current or simply a nervousness that suddenly
overpowers her followed by a flood of emotions. Feelings of sadness or
melancholy may come out of nowhere and consume her. This becomes very
confusing since the empath may not fully understand what is happening to her
and try to own those feelings by attempting to understand why she’s feeling
such odd and unfounded emotions. It isn’t surprising
that the majority of empaths at one time or another become highly depressed.
In addition to negative emotions, an empath can also pick up on a person’s
positive ones. However, this up and down effect creates an emotional roller
coaster ride for the inexperienced and untrained empath. How
Empaths Receive Information
No one really knows
the true mechanisms of empathic abilities. Many theories have been created as
a means of explanation. Not all empaths have just this one ability, and some
can garner information from multiple psychic abilities that work in unison as
one mega psychic ability. For example, the empath may unknowingly use
psychometry abilities to receive information simply by touching a person or
object. The empathic ability then processes this
information into feelings. Going beyond these two psychic abilities, the
person may also have strong clairvoyance, clairaudience and other abilities
that assist in the processing of the information she is receiving. Until the empath
stops to examine her individual processes to determine if she’s operating on
strictly empathic abilities, or a team of abilities, it’s difficult for her
to find ways of controlling the information she receives. It requires time
and patience to test herself on each possible ability, but once a baseline is
established, it’s easier to see how each psychic ability is connected and how
all of them interact and function. Can Anyone Be an Empath?
Like other psychic
abilities, no one is certain how or why these abilities exist, how they work,
or why one person might have them while another doesn’t. Some people believe
it’s a genetic transference since psychic abilities seem to run in families. Mark Thurston, PhD, uses Edgar Cayce readings to explore
how psychic abilities develop. Cayce’s readings suggested that psi abilities
are the result of soul development through various incarnations and physical
attunement. Another
theory proposes that many psychic abilities are mysteriously connected
to individuals who’ve had a Near Death
Experience (NDE). In these cases, it’s believed that a person who has
returned from such an experience has opened some kind of door or connection
between the physical and spirit worlds. This connection then somehow imbues
the person with psychic abilities. Coping with Empathic Abilities
The inexperienced
empath is usually overwhelmed by the sudden flood of information she
receives, especially when these experiences happen to her as a child.
The feelings and even physical sensations an empath picks up from another
person can be stronger than her own. This makes it very difficult to
distinguish which emotions are hers and which ones belong to someone else. A child doesn’t
have the coping mechanisms of an adult. This psychic ability can make the
child high-strung and overly-emotional. If she doesn’t have someone in her
life who understands what is happening, she can be misunderstood. Sometimes,
the child can be misdiagnosed as having various emotional or mental
disorders. Children can become trapped in this framework early on and remain
defined by an illness or disorder their entire adult lives. Isolation
Many empaths find a
physical solution to the flood of emotions and other sensations by living in
sparsely populated areas to have a facsimile of a “normal” life. A rural
lifestyle doesn’t mean the empath becomes immune to the emotions and energies
of others, but she certainly is able to cope better than she might in a
metropolitan environment. Talking
Helps
It’s highly helpful
for an empath to have a confidant she can confide in and never worry about
being judged. Unfortunately, anyone with psychic abilities typically feels
isolated and even ostracized for being different. Those feelings are often
compounded by the many feelings she experiences from other people, and they
can become debilitating. There are several
proven techniques that can help empaths minimize and even shutdown their
empathic abilities. The problem with shutting down is that the empath often
becomes irritable and nervous since empathy is a normal function for her.. Meditation is one
of the most effective and common techniques used to assist in controlling and
understanding empathic and other psychic abilities. There are several online
resources that offer assistance such as:
Living as an Empath
The empath must
learn how to minimize the personal reaction to information being received.
This comes with a lot of practice and eventually, she will
be able to distinguish which emotions are hers and which ones belong to
someone else. |
