What Is a Psychic Empath and How to Know If You Are One?

Published by

Have you ever thought about how empaths receive their information? Many rely on their psychic empath gifts and abilities whether they realize it or not.

If you have strong empathetic tendencies, it is entirely possible that you are a psychic empath?

Many empaths can feel the emotions of others to some degree. However, the psychic empath has an intuitive understanding of others and the natural world that goes much further.

Usually, people are born with this ability, however, it can grow and develop with experience. Many people don’t realize they are psychic empaths until later in life.

This ability is not the same as the normal human ability to feel empathy for other people. With empathy, people relate to another’s emotions, but they do not feel them as a psychic empath does. In addition, the extent of the information that the psychic empath can receive from others extends to beyond just basic feelings such as happiness or sadness. It can include a much broader spectrum of information that they sense from others and from the natural world.

Psychic empaths feel the world around them in strong emotional terms. Being a psychic empath is like having an extra sense: one that allows you to feel the emotional impact of the people, animals and even plants around you.

Psychic empaths have a variety of abilities and they may use just one or all of the different psychic gifts. If you recognize yourself as having any of the following abilities, you are probably a psychic empath.

1. Claircognizant Empath

If you are a claircognizant empath, you will understand the true nature of any situation. The claircognizant empath instantly knows when someone else is lying. A claircognizant empath will also know exactly what needs doing in any situation. This makes them excellent people to turn to in a crisis.

2. Telepathic Empath

Telepathy is a form of mind-to-mind communication in which thoughts are exchanged between a sender and a receiver. If you have this form of empathy, you will know what others are thinking. You will also be able to understand the thoughts and needs of animals and even plants and trees.

3. Psychometric Empath

Psychometry is skill where the empath receives impressions from objects.

If you have this ability, you will be able to receive information from inanimate objects such as jewelry, photographs and clothing. Such impressions can be perceived as images, sounds, smells, tastes or emotions. If you have a psychometric ability, you will be able to understand the past history of an object through simply touching it. You will receive such information as who the owner is/was, the events of their life and even the emotions they experienced while wearing or using the object.

4. Precognitive Empath

Precognitive empaths can feel a situation or event before it happens. These premonitions usually manifest in the form of dreams or emotional or physical sensations. If you are a precognitive empath, you may experience a sense of foreboding before something bad happens. With practice, this skill can be developed. It then becomes a useful form of intuition that can help guide your decisions and avoid potential disasters.

5. Geomantic Empaths

Geomantic empaths are finely attuned to the energies of the planet. If you are a geomantic empath, you will have the ability to read signals and energy transmitted from the soil, water, air or rock.

This skill is often used to detect water underground or recognize when very bad weather or some other form of natural disaster is coming. Many animals also have this ability, which is why they always know to run to high ground before a tsunami or flash flood.

6. Medium Empath

A medium uses his or her psychic or intuitive abilities to see the past, present and future events of a person by tuning into the spirit energy surrounding that person. A medium empath can also communicate with spirits and beings on the non-material plane.

Being a psychic empath can be very useful, but it is not always easy. Psychic empaths may be particularly sensitive to their environment and can suffer from unexplained allergies and physical symptoms. And while the talents of a psychic empath are significant, their gifts may not work at optimal levels at all times. This means they cannot solve everyone’s problems all the time, including, if not especially, their own.

Often, the first step to take if you think you might be a psychic empath is to learn to distinguish your own emotions, thoughts and senses from those of others.

Once you have done this, you need to learn how to shield yourself so that you are not bombarded with an overload of information all the time. With practice, the psychic empath learns to tune in their gift when they need it and switch it to the background when they are trying to get on with other things.

Even with these forms of protection in place, most psychic empaths need considerable time alone to keep emotionally balanced.

We would love it if you would share your experiences of being psychic empath with us.

  • Ok, I am a precognitive empathy and in some ways I hate it. I wish I was normal. I have a situation that I can’t find anywhere on Google or ANYWHERE, I’m kind of loosing hope, and I’m starting to think I might be the only one. Here it is: I remember the first time I got a precognitive dream, I was really freaked because I had never heard of anything like it before, slowly they got more and more common, until the time when I was getting probably around at least 5 every single night. It was getting very mentally exhausting. Nowadays it has gotten worse (this is the part I can’t find anywhere) I started getting precognitive dreams through other people’s eyes, like, as if they weren’t meant for me but rather someone else, in these dreams I can hear the persons thoughts and for example I was in a rando’s body and they looked at me, like, if they were passing me in the street or something, me in their body wouldn’t recognise me, but I would recognise the people they were walking with, even though real me had never seen them before. Like I said, I can’t find this anywhere, I am generally freaked out with myself, I told my one of the people in my best friend group and she looked at me like I was about to stab her with a knife. Please reply if you have experienced this, I’m really scared I’m the only one.

    • Hello tilcangra
      You are not the only one to have dreams that come true you should never be afraid of your gifts I was once like you I lived in fear of what was coming next you must seek out a group were you can talk about your experience you must not talk to everyday normal people who will not understand and are probably not open minded as this type of talk instills fear in people's minds. If it makes you feel better I used to hear thoughts that were not my own at the time I thought they were this would any and upset certain person but it's not like I had any choice the thoughts would just come to me I too just wished I was normal but know I embraced what I am you too should do the the same draw strength from the fact you are special like the rest of us.try going on a meet up group with people like similar experience 's or to start learn to meditation if that seems boring try om chanting it's better in a group circle the om chanting calms and silences the mind a lot quicker you will feel the peace of your inner self. Like I said you must only talk to people with an open like I sad people fear things they dont understand I hope this is of some help

    • You it's good to talk about ones experiences it gives others hope or light at the end of the tunnel and compare if there's any similar experiences in my eyes it's not a competition that's what I feel sometimes it's about coming together to make us strong and to makes other open up I often speak first if that's the choice were given. I do om chanting and people who have never done it before quite often will not speak first if they experienced something out of the ordinary so they stay quite if I speak up it prompts them to think we'll they said this and that often interrupt but that's OK because new experiences are not always easy to talk about. I suppose I have a small resumay of experiences

  • Not sure need to know if my ability is psychic empath cuz of a recent event:last night I woke up with a mild fever 99.8 but a little before that earlier in the day went to goodwill and bought alot of stuff after I had been up a little bit with the mild fever I fell back asleep but noticed that it was approximately 340 in the morning before I fell back asleep and I woke up feeling fine so I'm wondering if that's a sighns of a psychic empath or what that was please let me know as I'm very curious now

My life been very difficult but i got through so come on guys and gals find your self a teacher or mentor even mentors need mentors

  • My dad is going through radiation and chemo. I am an empath and somehow I am sick. He does not have all of the symptoms associated with treatment, I seem to have those symptoms. How is this possible? I don’t want to let go of it if it’s going to make things worse for him.
