“Empaths, particularly psychic empaths, are people who will intensely sense the emotions of other people or beings near them, and they will sometimes feel these emotions even more profoundly than their own feelings. They are extra sensitive to the senses and dispositions of the people around them, which makes them more aware of the suffering and joy of others. This gift can be painful, but it can also be incredibly rewarding because it facilitates a deeper connection with other people and other parts of the universe.
Most people, even non-psychic ones, will feel empathy to some extent, which is the feeling of understanding the pain (or other emotions) of someone else without necessarily having experienced that same situation yourself. It means being able to deeply thrust into someone else’s position and become connected to them.
Empathy is quite different from sympathy. Empathetic people can envision themselves in the same conditions as the people around them, and they can understand that person’s perspective. It is about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and sensing their emotions. Empathy is more connective, whereas sympathy is more distant. Sympathy doesn’t require you to understand someone else’s perspective; instead, it merely understands people’s feelings without experiencing them. People with empathy can go far beyond mere sympathy, and they can let themselves into people’s endeavors with pain, joy, or any other emotion. Psychic empaths have a special relationship with empathy in ways that ordinary people do not.
Psychic empaths can do much more than just sense the visual or verbal cues when someone is in pain or experiencing others’ intense feelings. They can feel other people’s emotions even when they aren’t outwardly apparent, which means that these people are extra sensitive to their surroundings, which can make it difficult to navigate social situations and relationships without an understanding of how their psychic empathy works.
There are several types of psychic empaths. An emotional empath can sense the emotional vibrations of others, while a physical empath can feel when people are physically experiencing certain physical sensations like pain. An intuitive empath is like an emotional one, but they see the deeper connections of the feelings beyond just the surface-level emotions. They are great at recognizing deceptions because of their deep intuition.
In general, we can say that empaths have a unique gift of feeling the emotions of others deeply. These are beautiful skills, and they allow people with such a gift to better their lives and deepen their connection with the non-physical world. Even if you don’t think you are psychic right now, if you feel you are an empath, you will likely build psychic skills with practice and attention to your beyond human senses.”
