All Types of Empaths
Which one are you?
Omg I love this image by Jeremy Bishop on Unsplash for my first story in this publication, “Natural Empaths United”. Talk about the tree of life and all who aspire to emanate from it.
What is an Empath
“An empath is a person highly attuned to the feelings and emotions of those around them. Empaths feel what another person is feeling at a deep emotional level.”
“Their ability to discern what others are feeling goes beyond empathy, which is defined simply as the ability to understand the feelings of others. Instead, being an empath extends to actually taking those feelings on”. (Verywell Mind, By Leah Campbell, Updated on March 15, 2023).
Differently Gifted Empaths:
There are at least 12 kinds of Empaths. I hope to enlighten you to the possibilities:
- Emotional empaths — Emotional empaths are particularly susceptible to narcissists and energy vampires and may feel particularly exhausted around such people.
- Physical Empaths -Not only can physical empaths often feel symptoms themselves, but they may also be able to see where someone is experiencing a symptom.
- Intuitive Empaths — An intuitive empath has the ability to know if and what needs to be done in a situation without any solid evidence or rationale behind it.
- Telepathic Empaths — Telepathic empaths have the ability to hear the thoughts as well as sense the emotions of others.
- Psychometric Empaths — Psychometric empaths have the ability to receive information and energy from inanimate objects, photographs, or locations that are significant to a person.
- Dream Empaths — Dream empaths are similar to intuitive empaths, except they receive intuitive information from dreams. These types of empaths are typically gifted at clearly remembering dreams.
- Plant Empaths — Plant empaths are also called, Flora empaths, can accurately “feel the needs of plants and connect with their essence”, says Dr. Judith Orloff. (1)
- Earth Empaths- Or Geomantic empaths — rock a similar vibe to the plan empaths in that both have their hearts tuned to nature.
- Animal Empaths -Or Fauna Empaths -Animal empaths are the folks that hang out with the animals while hiding out a party.
- Psychic Empaths — Psychic empaths or medium possess an intuitive understanding of the afterlife. At times, psychic empaths are able to see spirits and communicate one on one with the spirit.
- Heyoka Empaths — “Heyoka” means “sacred clown” or “spiritual fool” in the Lakota and Dakota Native American dialects. This type of empath is said to be the rarest and most powerful variety, acting a s a spiritual mirror to those around them to assist their growth.
- Precognitive Empaths -Precognitive empaths are sensitive to a situation’s potential outcome. They know what’s going to happen — don’t say they didn’t warn you. (2)
Which empath are you? I would love to hear about your experiences as an Empath. Who knew how many kindred spirits we are connected to as a collective. Imagine the possibilities to make changes in the consciousness of humanity with our gifts and knowledge.
