Empaths; 6 Different Types

I host a monthly gathering for seekers who want to learn more. It is a wonderful group of people who accept the others in the group without question. It is a safe place to ask questions, be yourself, and learn more about the metaphysical world. This month’s topic was Empaths. As I was preparing information to share with the group I came across some interesting information that I did not realize. Did you know there are 6 different types of Empaths? Here’s a look at what I found.

  1. Those who connect with emotions – I think this is the type most people think of, when they think of an Empath. I know it is what I thought of. These are people who can feel other’s emotions. When this type of empath is not aware of their nature, they may feel the heaviness we they walk in a room but not know why or how. When they embrace they’re power they can actually sense it and then change the mood of the room with their light.
  2. Those who connect with animals – These type of empaths are the folks that go into animal communication. They just “get” animals more than others. You may even have heard them called (dog, cat, horse) “whisperers”. Even when they are not aware of their nature, they may still be drawn to work with animals as vets or sitters. They may even choose to be vegetarians because the ideas of eating the flesh of other sentinal beings is just too much for them.
  3. Those who connect with plants – These are the people just know when the house plants need to be watered, not because the dirt feels dry, but because they feel the needs of the plants and them calling for it. These people may be literal “tree huggers” as they hear the trees sending them messages and want to connect with them. Even when these empaths do not know their true nature they may drift towards work in fields that allow them to work with plants or in forests. They may also have amazing green thumbs.
  4. Those who connect with the Earth – These lovely souls feel the pain of the planet. They intuitively know if an area is polluted. Even if they do not know their true nature, they may be environmentalist or fight for Mother Earth through other means. Adventure Sister Emy is definitely this type of empath. It is what motivated her to run for political office.
  5. Those who connect with other people’s body issues – These people are medical intuitive. They know where there is illness in others bodies or feel the specific pains of the person they are working with. They may walk into a room and suddenly have a headache, which is of course not their headache, but they take on the feeling (pain) that someone else in the room is going through. Many times removing the pain from that person to their own detriment.
  6. Those who connect with thoughts –  These empaths just know what to say. They do not feel the emotions of the person, as the first type did, but rather just have a ‘knowing’ of that person. These people, even if they do not know their true nature, are just good with people. They interview well, because they know what the other wants to hear. They are that person who always knows what to say to you and when to say it. Somehow they just know what you need to hear.

If you are an empath you may have components of many of these, or even all of them. Likely one is more prominent for you than the rest. Maybe you do not know if you are an empath or not, but you do not have to know or label yourself one. Now that you know of these different traits, to the various types of empaths, you can watch and see if any of these things show up in your life or sound like you.

Thank you for reading my blog today. I love you. May you have a life of feeling comfortable in your own skin, as if by magic.

Protecting Yourself From Unwanted Energies

When you are around people who are crabby, do you find yourself getting crabby too, for no particular reason? Can you walk into a room and feel what the mood is as soon as you enter? You may be an empath. Regardless of if you are or aren’t, it is important that we protect ourselves from these unwanted energies. We have enough of our own stuff to deal with with out dealing with everyone else’s.

Some people are energy vampires. They don’t even know they are doing it but you feel completely drained after an interaction with them. These people are a great place for you to practice using your protection. Try some of the techniques below the next time you are around this person to see if you feel less drained. If it works, you will know that you are successfully applying the techniques.

There are lots of things that can be done for protection.

  1. Agates –  this stone has protective powers and can be carried in a pocket or set on a windowsill.
  2. Black salt – circling an area with black salt can help keep unwanted energies or entities out.
  3. Charms – a St. Christopher medal or other Spiritual Charm can be used to keep a loved one safe.
  4. INTENTION – This is the most important way to protect yourself from energy vampires. I like to visualize a ball of white light around me or my loved ones to keep the extra energies from invading.  It can even be a force field around the house. Visualize yourself pulling a condom down over your whole body before you leave your house. Condoms are “protection” right? The reason the charms, black salt, and stones work is because of the intention you set with them. I like to compare them to Dumbo’s feather. Sometimes we just need something tangible to remind us of our own innate power.

During October I wrote a Blog about ghosts. You can also use these techniques to keep your space free from the disembodied. Your space is your space. No one has a right to enter it without your permission, not even the dead. Remember in the old vampire movies and Count Dracula could not come into the house without permission of the owner. This is true of ghosts and other spirits. Tell them to stay out. Be firm and let them know that this is your space and they are not welcome unless they are working in your highest and greatest good. There is no need to be fearful, just tell them to get out.

You can have your force field up around your home and possessions too. I would still encourage you to lock your doors, no reason to be foolish, but what could it hurt to have a bubble of protection around your stuff? It helps keep it safe from those who may have self or desperate intentions. I have found it to be incredibly beneficial.

By using these simple techniques, you should be able to protect yourself from taking on energies or being bothered by emotions that are not yours. If you have personal protection rituals you do, we would love for you to share them in the comments, so that others can learn from you too.

Thank you for reading my blog toady. I love you! May you always feel safe and protected, as if by magic.
