11 Unmistakable Signs of Being an Empath
Do You Have Signs of Being an Empath?
I have often had people come to me in an emotionally wrecked state of mind, who do not even realize they are empaths. When we work together to release all of the emotion they have absorbed that doesn’t actually belong to them, and they are left with only their own emotion to deal with, it becomes much easier for them.
I teach them the tools to discern which emotions are not their own, and which ones do belong to them, how to release the emotions they have taken in, or absorbed from others, and how to set better empathic boundaries.
Learning this, and other truths related to the beautiful gift of empathy is always where we start. Then we work on their signs of being an empath to determine which types of empathy they have to work with.
Empathy to one who does not understand the ability, can often feel like a curse. What we do is reveal the gift that it is, and how to use it consciously for the benefit of self and others.
The following signs of being an empath are a few signs of different types of empathy, and are very common for each type. An empath can be one, two, or even all types.
Places Have Feelings to You
Of the signs of being an empath, this one depends upon the reason for the feelings as to which type of empathy you are dealing with.
When the place is a building, for example, it may point to medium empathy. In this case, you may be feeling residual energy left behind, or ghosts that plague the location.
When the place is a town, it often points to very strong emotional empathy. You are feeling the overall emotional consciousness of the town.
You Often Suddenly Feel An Emotion Not Related to Anything You Are Thinking
This is classic emotional empathy. This is most often because you just “received” someone else’s emotion who is in the room with you. Our thoughts cause our own emotions, so if you are suddenly feeling an emotion that is not attached to a thought you just had, then it isn’t yours.
It may also point to having both emotional empathy and medium empathy if there is no one in the room with you at the time you receive the emotional message. In this case, you may be feeling a ghost!
You Carry the Mood of a Room of People
While most of the signs of being an empath focus on receiving or absorbing emotion, the emotional empath also projects emotion.
This is why when you hear a beautiful piece of music that an empath has infused with their emotional energy may cause people hearing it to become emotional because they are literally feeling the projection of the musician, singer, or both.
When an empath walks into a room charged with emotion, whether positive or negative, the whole room becomes infused with whatever that emotion is. Therefore, if the empath is motivated, everyone feels that motivation. Likewise, if they are in a bad mood, then everyone also takes on that bad mood.
You Have Creative Abilities
One of the major signs of being an empath is the presence of creative abilities. Empaths always have creative abilities such as writing, artistic ability, music, a singing voice, or other creative abilities.
These abilities give the empath both a coping mechanism as well as a way for the conscious empath to project higher vibrations to a mass audience, therefore affecting the vibrations of large numbers of people.
You Feel the Physical Pain of Others
Of the signs of being an empath, this one points directly to being a physical empath. Physical empaths literally feel the physical pain of others.
Physical empaths make excellent medical intuitive when this beautiful gift is combined with other gifts to help the empath discern what is causing the pain.
Others See You As Emotional or Moody
With all the emotion, physical pain, and other energies that empaths are constantly taking in, they may seem overly emotional or even moody to their friends and relatives, especially when they have yet to learn how to release others’ energies, or how to cope with all they are taking in from all around them!
They are often described by others as being emotional or having mood swings. This is one of the signs of being an empath that others notice.
You Feel Weather Changes Before They Happen
You may often hear a Geo Empath say things like, “It feels like rain outside.”, or “I feel a storm brewing outside.”, or other things related to feeling the weather.
One who has this type of empathy is very in tune with the Earth, and can be like a human weather alarm.
You Feel Energetic Imbalances Before Earthly Disasters
Yet another of the signs of being an empath that points to being a Geo Empath is feeling energetic imbalances that will point to impending weather disasters. It is said that the empath can feel the Earth’s anxiety before such occurrences.
When this type of empathy is paired with precognitive ability, the empath can predict these events in advance.
You Feel The Presence of Ghosts
This is, of course, a sign of being a medium empath. Just like the emotional empath feels the emotions of the living, and the physical empath feels the physical pain of the living, the medium empath feels the emotion and the ghost’s physical pain.
They are often able to tell you how the ghost died, and/or what emotion has the ghost stuck on this plane, or what is preventing them from moving on to the other side.
You Are a Human Lie Detector
Of all the signs of being an empath, this one is both a blessing and a curse. It is unbelievable how often people lie!
Although they may not always say anything about it, the empath always knows they are being lied to! This can make the empath have a very hard time trusting others.
You Feel Recharged by Spending Time in Nature
The empath is completely and totally recharged by spending time in nature. Spending time in nature is the best available coping resource for the empath, no matter what type of empathy they are gifted with.
Whenever the empath becomes unbalanced from all the energies they have taken in from the people in their day to day lives, the rhythm of nature always rebalances their own energy.
Of all the signs of being an empath, this one is a very important one that brings an innate soul urge that keeps them rejuvenated when they follow the call to nature!
Which Signs of Being an Empath Do You Identify With?
These are signs of different types of empathic ability. You may have one type, two types, or even all types. Regardless, if any of these signs of being an empath are true for you, it means you are an empath!
Empaths have healing abilities. The different types of empathy point to different types of healing ability. The conscious empath makes a huge impact on our world!
