What Is A Psychic Empath?

A psychic empath is a person who can sense the feelings and emotions of others - and those others may be people, animals, plants and even the universe. It’s important to distinguish between psychic empathy and empathy as we know it in human emotion. Whereas basic empathy is showing support and understanding toward others, empathic psychics can pick up on non-visual, non-verbal cues when someone else is feeling fear, pain, or joy.

Some types of psychic empaths can sense how others feel through reading their aura or energetic vibrations, while others have a unique ability known as claircognizance to “know” how someone is feeling without having any obvious clues.

If you can read people’s emotions or feel overwhelmed by the intense energy of people around you, you could be a psychic empath. As we’ll discuss shortly, there are various kinds, and these include: physical empaths; earth empaths; dream empaths; intuitive empaths.

Types Of Psychic Empaths

From physical empaths and emotional empaths through to animal empaths and earth empaths, there are lots of different types out there. In this section, we outline the main 7 types, and these include:

Physical Empaths

A physical empath is someone who responds to the physical actions and related signs around them. For example, if you are with people who are feeling sorrow, you are likely to mirror those emotions and feelings, even if your own life situation is pretty great. Similarly, if you are around people that are ill, have a headache, or are experiencing other health conditions, you might experience similar discomforts.

Emotional Empaths

People with this psychic ability pick up on the emotions of others, and can experience the emotions as if they were their own. There are both positives and negatives with this. For example, genuinely celebrating the joy and success of those you care about is a fantastic feeling. However, emotional empaths can suffer if they’re around those who are negative the whole time.

Intuitive Empaths

Intuitive empaths go beyond the emotions to see what’s underneath. They sense what is unspoken and not expressed, not just what’s overtly communicated. They can therefore find the truth in every matter, and tend to be a good judge of character, being able to tell when someone is being honest too.

Dream Empaths

A dream empath has the ability to remember their dreams in great detail, instead of forgetting them as soon as they wake up. And with this remembering comes wisdom, allowing these individuals to gain knowledge and understanding about situations that are going on in their lives and what they should do about them. What’s more, this type of psychic empath can also help decipher the meaning of other people’s dreams, helping them to find clarity.

Plant Empaths

In tune with plants, trees and flowers, plant empaths are said to form similar connections with plants that emotional empaths and physical empaths experience with people. They just know what a plant needs to be healthy, and can even communicate with them, hearing their thoughts. Also good at healing and herbalism, plant empaths are truly one with nature.

Animal Empaths

From dogs, cats and guinea pigs through to monkeys, spiders and elephants, animal empaths much prefer the company of animals, and will actively seek them out to share thoughts, discuss life and to discover how they’re really feeling about their current situation. An animal empath will intuitively sense the needs and emotions of animals. They will often be able to communicate with them, both understanding the animal and making themselves understood in the process.

Most animal empaths will also be vegan because they wouldn’t want to harm any living creature. They argue that they are sentient beings with a desire and right to live, just like humans.

Earth Empaths

Earth empaths are in tune with nature, and can also connect with the world and universe. Sensing natural events before they occur - such as earthquakes and storms - they can also feel the pain these events cause. Still, earth empaths love being outside, thriving in the world’s offering. Waterfalls, raging waters, and sunrises can be energising to an earth empath, while air pollution and environmental toxins can have a more pronounced effect on them than it does on an ordinary human.

Signs You May Be A Psychic Empath

Do you resonate with any of the psychic empath types mentioned above? Wondering if you’re one yourself? Well, below we outline some of the signs that would suggest you have empathic abilities, which may confirm your suspicions.

Intimacy Can Be An Issue

One of the main signs that you may be a psychic empath is that you find it difficult to maintain close contact with other people. Spending too much time with others may cause overwhelming feelings and feelings of stress - which is especially challenging when it comes to romantic relationships.

You’re Not A Fan Of Crowds

And that’s not just because it may cause you anxiety. Crowds are full of people, and therefore mean you absorb all of their energies - both positive and negative. This can be exhausting, and even make you feel unwell.

You Were Self-Isolating Before It Was Necessary

Because you find it difficult to be close to others - especially in crowds - you opt for self-isolation and time to yourself. You relish in completely shutting the world out, instead looking for peace and internal healing - sometimes, you need to come first. When your favourite activities include taking your time alone outdoors or meditating in a quiet park, then you are most likely a psychic empath.

Nature Soothes You

Some people drink tea. Others listen to music. You however, find peace and tranquility within nature. But more than this, psychic empaths are more drawn not only to nature itself, but nature in remote areas where they can enjoy the solitude of their being. In other words, if you find yourself completely at peace when you are hiking alone rather than with anyone, or sitting at the beach watching waves crash gently, alone, then take this as a sign that you may be a psychic empath.

You Have Heightened Senses

If loud sounds, soft touches and even fragrances seem to impact you a lot more than others around you, then this suggests that you are a psychic empath too. Especially if certain sounds trigger an emotional response, or create visual memories that you can always see so clearly, then this is a clear sign.

Your Gut Feelings Are Never Wrong

When you have good intuition or a strong gut feeling about anything that may not feel right, and you’re always right, then that’s a very strong indication of your psychic abilities. This is because you tend to pick up subtle cues about the behaviour of others that can provide you with special insight into what’s on their minds. You therefore tend to trust your intuition, which aligns your head with your heart.

You Can’t Help But Support Others

You may prefer your own company, but when it comes down to it, if you know someone is in pain or needs help, you’ll be there to lend a shoulder to cry on, a sympathetic ear and offering support in any way you can. There may be situations that completely drain you, so please bear in mind your own physical and emotional health too.
