Are You an Intuitive Empath? Here’s How to Find Out
If intuition is a gift bestowed upon us all to some degree or another in this life, intuitive empaths are an especially gifted group of individuals. They possess an uncanny ability to sense beyond their immediate surroundings, see into the past and present souls of others, and even foretell future happenings.
Traditional intuitives have a direct line to a deeply spiritual power, but an intuitive empath taps into that same soul-level wisdom with the added lens of true emotional insight to interpret the world around them. Intuitive empathy involves a heightened bond between you and your subject to unlock deeper and more personal insights.
But how exactly do you spot an intuitive empath? Well, when you know—you know!
Signs of Intuitive Empathy
Human empathy intensifies an intuitive’s connection to the universe, which is already pretty special. Empathetically-inclined intuitives will notice several key traits that have possibly been with them since childhood and guided them thus far.
Consider what resonates from this list: by the end, you may find yourself nodding along or thinking, “That’s so me.” If that’s the case, you’re probably an intuitive empath!
Psychic Sensitivity
A major indicator of empathetic intuition is a constant sensitivity to your environment. These people tend to:
Have a naturally intuitive personality
Be attuned to certain energies or auras
Capable of detecting vibrational shifts
Be a bit of an introvert who also yearns to connect with other people
Every intuitive empath will have their own balance of these traits as well as a unique mix of individual qualities.
High Emotional Intelligence
Another classic feature of an intuitive empath is a heightened sense of emotional connectedness and sensitivity to others. For instance, they are often capable of absorbing others’ emotions easily, reactive to the experiences and feelings of other people, able to tell what someone is feeling, and aware of their inner voice as a trustworthy and accurate source of knowledge.
Intense Gut Feelings
That intuitive urge we all have the potential to feel is extra powerful for intuitive empaths. For instance, they are often clairvoyant or supernaturally gifted, eager to pass that wisdom onto others, easily capable of discerning when something feels right or wrong, and empowered to act on that hunch to sidestep negative situations and reach positive ones.
How to Embrace This Side of You
Once you’ve figured out whether or not you’re an intuitive empath, a second question arises: “What now?” You can support your intuitive and empathetic goals by adding moments of clarity and consciousness to your daily routine.
Staying authentic to who you are as an intuitive empath welcomes abundance into your life and gives you the chance to shine your light. For some, this means using their talents to bring harmony to people’s lives. For others, it means focusing on how to improve their relationship with themselves while navigating the sensory overload pressed upon us by the world every single day. It’s a lot to deal with!
Build Inspiring Habits
Just as intuition and empathy complement each other so well, staying inspired and continuing to learn about yourself as an intuitive empath go hand in hand. Mindfulness does wonders when you’re thinking, feeling, and intuiting life to such a strong degree. In fact, it can be difficult for intuitives and empaths to turn that off, and for intuitive empaths, it might seem totally impossible. As someone who constantly seeks to balance my experience of intuitive empathy, believe me: I understand!
Try incorporating habits that encourage you to relax your mind and refuel your heart. This could be regular journaling, manifesting, and/or meditating. Grounding exercises like these are vital to your physical and mental health. Each activity will have a different effect on you personally, so follow the path that leads you to the most revitalizing experience. Make it a consistent part of your day and watch the weight lift from your shoulders as a result!
Practice Soul Reading
There are plenty of options to utilize your intuitive empathy, including soul reading. Intuitive empaths are adept soul readers because they understand people through an innate instinct. Soul reading provides peace and relief to so many seeking solace, though it can also take a toll on the reader themselves. As they’re driven to apply their knowledge in service of others, it’s an opportunity to contribute to a greater purpose—one that does come at a cost.
Being empathetic is a rare and beautiful thing, but it’s often a double-edged sword: no matter the situation or problem, empaths feel compelled to help since they have such a clear view into the pain and heartache of their fellow humans. That compulsion leaves them paradoxically drained and in need of their own support if they don’t allow time for necessary unplugging and personal reflection. Still, soul reading as a practice enables intuitive empaths to make their mark, and it’s sustainable with the right balance.
Self-Care
Finally, we can’t forget the importance of the behind-the-scenes work too: setting boundaries, prioritizing rest, doing what you love, and (of course!) spoiling yourself now and again. All of it can better prepare you to achieve that crucial balance in your life as an individual whose abilities function in such a unique manner. You have actual superpowers, my friend. And with great power comes great responsibility—to yourself!
Those inspiring habits we discussed? Many of them contribute to your self-care. I’d recommend intuitive healing as a means of self-care too, as intuitive empaths carry a lot of heavy emotions. It’s all about making sure you’re at 100% when you’re interacting with this loud, vibrant, wonderful place we call home. That way, you’ll show up in a capacity that truly reflects who you are both intuitively and empathetically.
Intuitive, Empathetic, and Excited About It
