#intuitive empath

Here are 4 signs that you are an empath with a high degree of intuition.

1. You Can Tell The Difference Between Your Feelings And Those Of Others

One of the major struggles facing many empaths is the assimilation of other people’s feelings into their own mind and body. The energy they absorb merges with their own and pollutes their inner river. They often become like those around them because they cannot tell what’s theirs and what’s not.

For instance, if they encounter angry people, they grow angrier; if they meet an anxious person, this feeds their own anxieties; and if they come across sadness in others, they become sad themselves.

It’s very different for an intuitive empath. They are so in-tune with their inner state that they are able to easily differentiate between it and anything they might soak up from their surroundings.

They are less influenced by the emotions of others. While they can still recognize and feel these emotions, the impact upon their own mental state is less noticeable than it is for other empaths.

They are better at creating a permeable, but controllable, barrier between their own feelings and those of others. They are able to let the two merge should they wish, but they can also keep them separate for the most part.

2. You Can See Beyond Feelings To The Reasons For Them

While empathy allows you to detect and embody the feelings of others, it cannot, by itself, tell you why they are feeling that way.

For non-intuitive types of empaths, this can be a source of great confusion because they end up feeling something that they can’t fully understand or explain.

One of the traits of an intuitive individual, however, is the ability to take a step back and view things from a broad perspective, and this allows them to identify the links – both direct and indirect – between cause and effect.

Intuitive empaths spot things that other empaths don’t; they let their unconscious reflect on what they see, and it provides them with insight into why a person may be feeling they way they are.

They don’t necessarily do this with any conscious intent; it is simply a natural instinct and skill that comes from having both empathy and intuition in abundance.

Sometimes an intuitive empath may even have a better understanding of a person’s feelings than the person does themselves. This is a major reason for the next sign.

3. You Help People Understand Their Own Feelings

If you’re an intuitive empath, there is a good chance that you’ve helped many people figure out what they are feeling and, more importantly, why they are feeling it.

You probably enjoy talking with others about their emotions, their thoughts, their dreams, and their worries. You just seem to be able to ‘get’ what it is they are telling you even if they can’t really put it into words.

Like most people, you have probably experienced the full spectrum of feelings during your lifetime and these are stored, along with the relevant context, deep within your unconscious. It is your intuitive ability to perceive and understand the signals sent by this part of your mind that prove so valuable in identifying why others feel a certain way.

You aren’t just able to put yourselves in their shoes from an emotional standpoint; you can grasp their rationale and the wider circumstances too. These help you to piece together a more detailed picture and give them potential reasons for their feelings.

4. You Are The Go-to Person For Advice And Counselling

With their abilities to understand and appreciate the feelings of others and their inclination towards taking a bird’s eye view of things, intuitive empaths make ideal counselors.

You are probably the person others turn to first when they are facing a problem and are unable to see a solution to it. Once you have spoken to them, felt what they feel, and understood why they feel that way, you have one last trick up your sleeve: your creativity.

Intuitives tend to be creative people and their knack for thinking outside of the box means they are exemplary problem-solvers. You are able to suggest various ways of approaching the situation and offer the pros and cons of each.

Where third parties are involved, your empath traits mean you are also adept at stepping into their shoes so as to consider how they might respond to each given option – even if you have never met them and are simply going on what you’ve been told.

All of these things mean you are often called upon by friends and family members to lend an ear and provide advice. You become a confidant of sorts; someone that they can discuss anything with and someone they know will give a frank, but constructive response.

Hi!

So I’ll explain, to me, what it means to be an empath, and then highlight what makes one an intuitive empath.

An “empath” is a very sensitive individual, particularly when it comes to the emotions of others. Basically all empaths are able to discern or “feel” the emotions of others very quickly. Empaths are also very vulnerable to the emotions of others, meaning that they are greatly affected by them. i.e. if someone is angry, they are either going to pick up the anger and get angry as well, or feel that they are the target of the anger and get anxious. If someone is sad, they will almost always feel the sadness as well. 

Empaths also can have a range of abilities with emotions as well. Some are what I like to call “emotional suns” that are very rooted in their emotions and radiate them to those around them. For example, an emotional sun who is feeling very happy will almost surely brighten the mood of everyone in the room when they walk in, or bring the energy of the room down if they are sad.

There are also empathic healers, who are able to help stabilize others’ emotions, through a variety of ways. Some have a healing aura that feeds energy to others passively, or actively if they choose (this is me). Others are able to take the unwanted emotions from the person - usually into themselves - and give them positive energy. I can make another detailed post about this at some point if you guys want. There are other details, but I’d like to get to the actual question.

So what is the difference between a regular empath and an intuitive empath? Basically, it’s a combination of abilities. For me, when an intuitive empath “tunes in” to another persons’ energy, they not only pick up their emotions, but other information about the person as well.

This information comes “intuitively” and there are many, many different ways that this can happen, it just depends on the person and their abilities. Let me illustrate this by explaining how it works for me, and I think that it will more than answer your question!

On top of being an empath, I’m also claircognizant, which means that I receive information intuitively. When i look at someone, anyone, I first always pick up on their emotions and energy; how they are feeling at that exact moment. Besides their emotions, I also pick up their insecurities, and more recently, i’ve been picking up just bits and pieces of information about their lives. For example, at work I walked by an elderly man, and I picked up bits and pieces of his life, he was in the Vietnam War, his children, his father, his wife dying. Things like that. I look at a person, and not only pick up their emotions, but things about who they are as well.

Sorry for the long post! Your english is wonderful. The short answer is that an intuitive empath is an empath who receives other information about the person besides emotions.

I hope this helps. Thanks for the ask!
