Empath Test for Psychic, Intuitive, & Claircognizant Empaths

This Empath Test, tests the accuracy of your empathic abilities so you can improve them.
There are three types of empaths:
+ Psychic Empaths
+ Intuitive Empaths
+ Claircognizant Empaths
While many Introverts are empathic, but empathic abilities cause introversion, not the other way around.
The most accurate empath test reveals what you know but don't trust because fear and delusion block your psychic knowing.
Your accuracy as an empath improves by learning to discern and experience the differences between our intuitions and Claircognizance.
At Spirit360 Fellowship, we believe all Mediums are Psychic, but not all psychics are mediums.
Claircognizance is mediumship or spirit communication.
Our gut feelings, intuitions, and precognitions are ESP phenomenon derived from connecting with our own spirit-self or higher self.
To SEE FOR YOURSELF if the Spirit360 Framework for Spiritualism the the right path for your spiritual journey this life time, join us for a Live Spiritualist Church Service via Zoom.
We offer Sundays Services at 7:30 and 10:30 AM Pacific Time.

Let me know which type of empathic ability rings most true for what you're experiencing?

[@GG-rt8bs]

All the major events that have happened in my life I’ve known that they were coming, ever since I was a child I’ve had dreams about events and to my surprise they have happened.I don’t know how or what to do with this ability it is a double edged sword. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

[@theStoicMedium]

@@GG-rt8bs - a double edged sword indeed. The future casts a shadow before it that can be perceived. The closer that future the more likely it will occur because there is less time to take appropriate actions to change that possibility. Your ability to perceive these foreshadows is both a gift and a burden. The problem most intuitives, empaths and HSPs encounter is the fear that knowing things we can't explain conjures up. In my experience, learning to quash fear is the quickest way to know what to do with your knowings. Fortunately, there is a simple, free and effective way to calm fear... Stillness meditation (search my channel for videos) can calm your emotions and stop fear from blocking your intuitive knowing. Once you can calm your fear(s) you begin to access your "knowing" to see how best to use what it is you know. We train people to Master the 3-Rs: Right Meditation - RIght Thought - RIght Action. While this is quite simple, it's not at all easy. Thank you for connecting and we're here to assist you when you're ready.

[@lisagarbarini2071]

I think am an intuitive empath but I have awake day dreams of healing people. I guess I could develop any of it because I am spiritual, my 1st love, my 1st love I thought was them!!!! Turns out God has been there the entire time. My parents dropped me off with my favorite aunt at 2 weeks old so she could party on the boat with my alcohol, but I believe had things that haunted him & he self medicated. He died when I was 21 & that was another huge trauma. I never got to know how wonderful he was. But he was raised catholic with alcoholic parents too. So I don’t blame him because it was my moms idea of getting back out there. My mom continued her aductions & divorced the only man or women, I ever felt love with. He was so affectionate when I did see him. My mom was out all hours as I watched myself after school, larch key, starting in 2nd grade!! She wasn’t good at showing love without her sexuality & unfortunately I am 51 just figuring out who I am. Divorcing again!! Another relationship that was wasted years & I don’t have many left. I’ve been hard on myself

[@theStoicMedium]

@@lisagarbarini2071 - I see how you've needed to use all of your sensitivities and awareness for survival and self-preservation. I applaud your compassion. When our compassion and empathic capabilities are directed to the caring of others, it is difficult to direct then within to take good care of ourselves. Please do let me know how we can be of assistance. We have many ways to help you train and develop yourself so you can start living a life filled with purposeful intent while creating what's next in your life. I'm glad you've connected and welcome. Warmly, Terry

[@theStoicMedium]

@@GG-rt8bs - Indeed a dilemma. For me, I treat this information like watching a movie that I've seen before with someone who hasn't seen the flick. I know what's coming yet don't want to ruin the surprise for them... Here is the irony, just because we know the most likely future, we' don't know how others will react or respond... Most of the time, they act in surprising ways. As we say, being forewarned is being forearmed, But that only applies to us and not others, because they did not ask. Even though they may not have know to ask, sharing "insider" information is a spiritual no-no. The most we can so is say something like, "I had the strangest dream..." If they ask for you to share, then share, but not as a prophecy, but as a strange dream. Other than that, I suggest recording the dreams so you can reconcile what happened in the dream with what happens in life... Just like "eye witness testimony" you will often be surprised in the subtle differences that without an accurate account of your dream or intuition, we tend to accept as accurate when if fact, some major reading between the lines occurred. I hope this helps. We do offer specific training to help you fine tune and develop your intuitive knowing at OldSoul.Academy - classes are starting in September. Please do let me know if this helps. Warmly, Terry

Still to this day, after all the inner work I've done, I can still be surprised to see how few people out there actually stop to think for themselves. They question nothing. It really is sad. We just had major downloads again and my ability to sense how people around me are feeling and their intentions has been greatly increased. I see through them so easily now and I KNOW I am right in what I am receiving because I no longer have any reason to project. I can do nothing but send love, light and healing energy to them. Whether or not they know it's happening doesn't matter, it still works. It's the ONLY way to help them wake up.

[@ambergerbuns]

I have a theory that narcissists, especially the intense rise in narcissism, are here for a purpose like everyone else. The damage they cause hurts so much, and then it heals. And then you get your gifts. I could walk out of this divorce barefoot and still be the victor just for the growth and transformation I’ve experienced. Sadly, they are forever closed from a full human life. We hate them, want to avoid them, these demons, vampires, wolves. But they do bring the magic - we just can’t have it until it hurts so much we decide to go ahead and love ourselves. Magic.

[@miasstuff1948]

Mainly empathic and claircognisant, however I’ve had some instances through my life where clairvoyance must have played a part. For instance, many years ago my boyfriend at the time, myself and a few friends thought we’d drive on the spur of the moment from one major city to another for a weekend getaway (10 hour drive through mountain ranges in parts each way). I was excited, packed my bag, then all of a sudden I just stopped what I was doing and I asked if one specific friend would also take turns in the driving (and he was), I had no issue with his driving skills nor ever heard anything about his driving to give me concern before, so this was a very odd reaction and question from me. I completely refused to go, wouldn’t get in the car and begged my boyfriend not to go. He did, I cried for hours, until I got a phone call 4 hours later from him from the side of the road. They had crashed the car, wrote the car off. I asked who was driving, and it was the friend I had mentioned. Fortunately everyone were OK, but had I gone I would have been the 5th person in the car, so someone would have been in the middle backseat without a seatbelt and probably gone through the windshield. I cannot explain this other than ‘someone’ or ‘something’ told me not to go and why. That couldn’t have been intuitive. There have been other things as well, but that’s the one that has stayed with me the most. Other than that I feel people’s emotions and I take them on, and I also instantly know when I meet someone to avoid, charming as they may be, their eyes are void and their soul is empty if that makes sense?

[@pamelakelley5535]

I started out as a 9 year old child. I could see death on a person. It was just a matter of fact. My Mother never questioned my ability. As I got older I would have a line of people outside my office door and then again while riding a train back and forth to work. It was usually when I was reading my bible. I thought it a curse at first but then realized it was actually a great gift. I have saved several peoples lives by being able to see the sickness in their bodies and minds. I have physically saved them as well. I do not know how to teach myself to do this all the time only when I truly focus on the person.

[@theStoicMedium]

You know exactly on point with your insight about "focusing on the person" that is the process for intuition and spirit communication. What we can do is making that focus more effortless and directed with our meditation and ESP practices. Keep up the good work and it' music to my ears to know you've shifted your perspective from curse to gift.

I am a Heyoka Empath. My Great-Great-Great grandfather was a Holy man and chief of his people. (His name was White Thunder) My grandmother was born on a Sioux Indian reservation. My prayers heal people. Though I am learning how to not take their energy into me. It is making me ill. Through prayer I see miracles occur, my inner spirit will fly to God in his Heavenly realm. I give him all the Praise, Honor, and Glory for the healings. My brother was dieing and on Life supports through prayer he came back after life supports were pulled. Sister-n-law was hit by a car, broke her back, but walked out of the hospital 3 months later. Countless people healed of cancer, stroke, heart attacks. I could keep going on and on. Not me, but God.

But nothing came out of the test other than the fact that they told her that I was.. from their best guess just very skilled in lucid dreaming and that they thought that I had some sort of gift that I was possibly leaving this plane or leaving my body so to speak during dreams and still to this day very skilled at it I fly a lot in my dreams I recognize when I am dreaming pretty easily I remember dreams very easily very well and I travel quite a bit I still am learning about myself and my gifts but there have been quite a few predictions that I have named because of dreams that have actually came true some have not.

I have always dreamed, even as a child. I remember my first lucid dream around the age of 8. I could fly if I wanted and I remember flying over, above, and through barns at a young age. One experience stays with me to this day at age 47. I’m not sure what kind of dream this was and I’m not sure what it means. I was about 10 years old. I had a pleasant dream where I was shopping at a very cool store where I had never shopped before. I remember the glass shelving and the cube formations of the glass cube-like shelving. I was looking at artifacts and jewelry. There was a beautiful pair of earrings in a hammered triangle shape. In my dream I picked them up and very much wanted to buy them. I don’t remember who I was with in the dream and I don’t think I bought them, I was just admiring them. Fast forward to about a month later~ I’m still 10 years old. My girlfriend asked me to go with her and her parents to a store. I asked my parents and they said yes. I’m real life I walked through the store and to my huge surprise ~ I saw the glass cube shelving with trinkets and such. I searched for the earrings in awe… I turned to see them. There they were~ the exact same pair of turquoise colored earrings. I had enough money to buy them and I did. As a 10 year old child I wouldn’t have had much money on me so I know they weren’t of huge monitory value~ but they had extreme value to me. 💜

But I grew up in a household where I was constantly being told what I was feeling was wrong or wasn’t true. Eventually this made me think there was something wrong with me, or that I was weird or just too sensitive. I don’t know. Now that I’ve realised I’m an empath I’m still feeling kinda lost. I don’t know what I’m feeling anymore, what’s mine or what’s not. So this is just what I need. I’m determined to regain my power in this. So again, thank you.

I'm an intuitive HSP empath who's also on the spectrum and realized people around me growing up were always put off by my light spirit and nonchalant happiness to the point where they outcast me socially. Yet, clear-seeing adults told child me I was an "old soul" frequently. But clarity didn't come until my adulthood, even family members were (and still try) gaslighting me to preserve their own self-image rather than admit that I accurately perceived their lies and negativity, just like I saw that these actions came from a place of hurt in their hearts. It took me a long time to realize the accuracy of my own gifts, but my spirit guides have been dead set (pun) on setting things to justice and helping me realize the purpose of my gifts of truth. I intuitively was drawn to tarot and started out reading with a special deck of regular playing cards, but haven't tried this exact practice method yet for fine-tuning intuition!!

The less I was afraid and trained my self to stay calm the more I was able to do and also I found more people would come up to me in places like Drs offices, stores, and other places and would literally open up to me about their lives. Another thing I realized that when doing readings I was more open to feelings, awareness, and facts about people which weren’t told to me.

[@theStoicMedium]

With my stoic demeanor and introverted nature, very few people open up to me. But when they do, the connection is magical. Glad you found us and connected.

[@CIslas-im1um]

I personally had to block my extreme emotions to human suffering at a young age. Usually I'm so positive and happy, some people think I'm on drugs. My ex had a horrible childhood and trying to help him over the years almost killed me. I had to take me out of the situation and undergo cleansing to be able to just be ok. Thank you for what you do! Light and love .❤

Sometimes helping someone is overriding their will and path.In that case you get sick.We can want 100 %.But their path is not ours to force our will over.Its a hard lesson to learn.

[@carospereman3537]

This was an interesting video. I have been researching narcissism and found out that my intuitiveness is a byproduct of narcissist abuse from childhood into adult. I knew I had the ability at 10 years old, and have used this ability on command a handful of times throughout my life. I highly respect it and don't abuse, I know it's there if I need it. Conversely, information (thoughts) also come in when I'm just being present that tell me about the future. Not so much my future, but things happening in the world. Maybe this the collective consciousness I've heard so much about.

[@theStoicMedium]

For the most part, the intuitive knowing from early life challenges and abuse are more on the instinctual side of things and hyper-vigilance and observation. As to the future, it casts a shadow before it which we can perceive. The closer the event the stronger the shadow. I'm glad you found us and connected.

[@alchemenergyacademy6231]

I’m intuitive. Empathic, and have experienced most of the Clairs at one time or another.). I’m also an introvert and prefer to be alone most of the time. I’ve seen things before they happen. Had visions of world events and complete (book) concepts with highly intricate layers of higher truths (I’d never studied before) downloaded in a single moment. Highly empathic and intuitive and see the core fears/beliefs creating others suffering and can guide them quickly in transforming them into peace. I’m not sure I can intuit playing cards. I just can usually tell what a person is going to do. I do Weird stuff like hearing a random bird call ive never heard before and knowing what kind of bird it is having never studied birds. My greatest joy comes from new knowings that come directly from spirit. I live for these.

[@annacollier5372]

I'm an intuitive empath (ENFJ). Often I find people confiding in me with their life story and deepest darkest secrets even though I barely know them. I'm also sensitive to other worldly energies but I've worked hard most of my adult life to block them out because they frighten me. My mother is the same. Sometimes we compare experiences and realise we have thought and felt the same. "you know that empty really old farm down the road? It's full of people, isn't it?", "yes, there's no one there but it's busy, full of people" or (working in hospitality) "you know that man who checked in late last night? Did you see him this morning?", "oh yes I did! I thought he seemed a bit...", "wrong?", "yes wrong..", "like a..", "a murderer, or a pedophile?", "YES, exactly". That man had the blackest darkest aura I've ever felt and my mother felt exactly the same. The man was normal looking and perfectly pleasant, only stayed one night, but scared the absolute crap out of us. When I was a child my mother brought me to her friends house, they had a cuppa while I played by myself upstairs. On the way home I chatted happily and suddenly blurted out "Mummy, there was a little girl there! I was playing with her. I couldn't see her but I could HEAR her. But I couldn't see her, but she was there" mother almost crashed the car. Her friend had lost 2 girls some years before to genetic diseases, one didn't live very long but one lived long enough to learn how to talk. I was about 2 or 3 years old at the time so of course didn't know anything about the girls and had never been there before. I'm watching this video and other similar ones because I feel like maybe now is the time in my life to explore my spiritual side. I just want to be sure the negative energies will stay away. Thank you for a great video, I will get the cards out and give it a whirl!

[@theStoicMedium]

Welcome Anna. It is a mixed blessing indeed. Enjoy your spiritual explorations and let me know what you discover. The cards too are a mixed blessing especially for someone who has "known" things their entire life. The card allow us to fine tune our skills with instant verification. Many don't like the practice, but find it to reveal a great many thing about the true nature of my mind.

[@larauch13]

Intuitive empath. I have met people through the years and instantly known that they will lie and blame others. This enters my brain at the very first sight of them. They haven't even spoken yet. I call it my warning system.

[@theStoicMedium]

Hey @Laurie, I call mine. "my 30-second test." Thank you for connecting and sharing. Warmly, Terry.

[@Testimonials843]

I think you can be both! For me, I'm intuitive, but I also get news in my dreams and warnings as well. I dream of things, and after several weeks or months, I live them. And a few other psychic things. But i can also walk in a room and just know who's okay, who's not, who's angry, who's happy, etc. I used to think that everybody did!

[@conuregirl007]

I'm not sure what I am. I've always been an introvert, but I also feel energy from people. I can always feel when someone is angry, sad, etc. I used to think it was about me until I realized it was about them, not me. I've been called too sensitive, and some people seem to dislike me before they even know me. Why?

[@theStoicMedium]

Hey Susan, Learning the answer to the question "Who/What I am?" is one of life's big questions. As to being too sensitive and not being liked by some, that unfortunately is life is a 3-dimensional body. All I can offer is that as you become more comfortable in being you and discerning between your stuff and other people's stuff you will also begin to attract different types of people into your life. And it's you self-awareness and understanding that will have you recognize the good ones and ignore the the other ones. For me the "WHY" was my chameleon-like ability to morph into whoever I needed to be to feel safe. I think this happens because we can get along with everyone which as some people judge us as inauthentic. I hope this helps, Thanks for connecting. Warmly, Terry

[@lulawrence4414]

If people are disliking you and your showing signs your an empath, those people only dislike you because those people are narsissistic people who lie and they know and realise that you can see straight through their masks unlike other people. So people walk away from empaths because they know they can't hide anything from us. However, narsissist's are also in love with empaths while also hating them because they know they can manipulate us but they hate how we are more mature and intelligent than them.

[@Shannon606]

I can totally relate!!

[@phoenixbg2096]

Yes, because we seem to 3d people or not developed empaths -“regular people” like someone who is not authentic and to lot of them, specially to narcissistic people that we will see through there true selfs.. edit: i just remember this, that we need to have strong bounderies, we didnt learn that in life, for some people we seem “to nice” so people think that there is something else behind it, lot of people just dont trust us at a first glance

[@ms.honeylove]

@@lulawrence4414 Yes to all of what you've said. I've heard many times that "your light is going to irritate people's demons". Similar to the original poster, I've had someone come right out and say they didn't like me even though they didn't know me at all. For instance, there was a "cousin" that posted an opinion about how certain people act, in which I commented on adding what I noticed about that sort of thing when a girl I don't know comments after me and says, "I don't like you." Now, there was a few comments before mine, one from the girl who commented right after mine saying the comment above, and maybe one more from someone else.... Anyway, next thing I know the post was taken down. So I asked my cousin what happened via direct message, and she just says "my friend didn't like my other friend.", but I knew it was bullshit. I knew that girl left that comment for me. My light irritated her demons. It could've been the mere fact that I responded intelligently with how I write and the vocabulary that I used, but I felt, and still do, that she picked up something from me that rubbed her the wrong way because she's miserable or unhappy in some way. That is something vague that someone who isn't empathic would write off as over thinking/analyzing or a stretch, but I know better. I've been reading between the lines before I even knew I was. With how I know exactly what to say to people and what they need, I never knew that was a unique thing until later in life.

[@tyreik5445]

Wow. Your analogy of having a spiderweb so sensitive to the environment’s movements is so accurate. For the longest time I’ve been stuck on making sense of this phenomenon and learning how to go deeper within. Now that I’m able to conceptualize it thanks to you, it’s much easier to begin addressing.

[@theStoicMedium]

You're welcome my friend. The spider web was not on my notes but when it came time to describe my experience, that's what showed up.

[@trased1trased]

I manifested this video to show up on my stream. This is exactly what I needed to see just now!

[@relateandcreatewithmary8394]

I will definitely take this ‘self test’ as I have been an intuitive empath my ENTIRE life! I can remember specific events, as a very young child (raised in a very dysfunctional, abusive environment which, I believe, is what ‘kicked in’ my abilities) where all I had to do was go NEAR a room and feel the strong negative (even harmful) energy prior to entering the room. I was able to spot a lie from a mile away, dishonesty, disceit, true loving intentions, etc.. I have also done my own ‘inner work’ to help prevent my own personal experiences from being connected to the energy/ies around me. I want to do this test (now in my 60’s) to see if I am still getting it ‘right’. There is nothing worse than an empath second guessing themselves due to the opinions of those closest to you not believing in your abilities….even after experiencing them first hand. Therein lies THEIR fear.

[@jianadevant2569]

I was just scrolling and found your video. I believe I am an intuitive empath. I am so good knowing when something is wrong with someone, and then I unintentionally make their feelings my feelings. I feel like a negative energy vampire. I want to be able to turn that off. It's exhausting, which makes me not want to be a round anyone so I can recharge. I'm looking forward to trying the card test. I believe I could be more than intuitive. I would really really really love to enjoy my gift. It's just easier for me to pick up negative energy than positive, and I'm not sure why.

[@theStoicMedium]

Awareness of negative energy is self-defense and preservation. For the most part it's an extension of our instinct to survive and our fight/flight/freeze wiring. The only limits to what's possible is time and practice, but only after you've decided on the path you want to follow. Part of formal spiritual training is learning to detach from what does not serve us. Once you become aware of what you're sensing and can detach from its source. It no longer is exhausting because you've detached its meaning so it no longer drains your emotions. Thanks for connecting and good luck on your quest.

This resonates. I’ve been struggling with understanding that Im an empath. As an adult I finally admitted it to myself and open with it. I have to center myself and say “those are not my feelings, I’m feeling someone else’s” sometimes it’s hard to tell. What you said “it has nothing to do with me” man that’s what I constantly tell myself. Since I’ve gotten better with this. I started getting more dreams that were signs that I didn’t realize they were signs til weeks later it tied together. These dreams stuck for a reason, that I had made a comment joking or called a family member just to check in. it happened years ago, with an ex and I woke up scared and told him about my dream about him. And he looked at me so serious and said I’ve never told you that how do you know that. It was very private and looking back it was a sign for me to leave.

Intuitive.. extremely challenging to manage my own wild ass emotions with others.. and it's hard not to let someone essentially hijack my emotions..so I have to remember that I alone set the pace in my reactions to things/people and if I am calm and focused I can redirect their energies to calming themselves down.

[@theStoicMedium]

Well put. The core of our psychic and healing arts training is learning to control our thinking and calm our emotions, on-command. We learn to dwell in a place of quiet receptivity and thinking tranquility where we see things as they to know the best next step to take... In this place people typically respond in kind. Welcome.

I’ve never tried cards. I get dreams of people telling me to give messages. I never forget them. Sometimes I wake up to what sounds like a voice in my ear and can’t alway connect it. I’m opening up more now. I can’t control anything, but basically my entire family comes to me with questions. I go on instinct or intuition and I haven’t been wrong. My family and myself believe I have some sort of gift, I just wish I could control it more or even understand it and the meanings behind what I feel/ see.

[@theStoicMedium]

Control is essential and a blessing. The biggest reason being that they can stop waking us up at night. It is possible to train yourself to quiet you mind on-command to access your knowing. Glad you stopped by and connected.

[@MysticCrossingsTarot]

I am a psychic / medium since I was a kid. I'm a strong empath I can even feel a person's death, and know what it is cause I feel it. I was watching this last night and earlier in the morning in meditation, I was asking for help. Everyone's thoughts, feelings and physical stress is draining. I have everything + more. My whole family was spiritualist, santeros, paleros, healers. There's nothing I don't have. Appreciate the video, but looking further into your channel. I can sense anything bad or good, anywhere I am. I have saved so many lives which is beautiful. Tarot is not my thing but it is, I usually work with my Caldron, my guides. I'm clearing my energy as I write this. And here we are just writing and I'm picking up on someone that has a very bad neck pain from the back. I'm feeling it where it's hard to look down or look up.

[@theStoicMedium]

For me the key is to be the sponge but to allow the energy to flow through rather than to be absorbed. We so this by not attaching to the energy.

[@moriontax]

You know, over the course of my life I was bullied badly for being outrageously different. I was undiagnosed with ASD until I was 13 years old and found myself out to being an empath at 20. Over my traumas I found and followed Stoicism to help me find an epiphany on myself and I came to realize...I am a Dark Intuitive Empath. I felt everyone's energies around me for years and I felt like I was a monkey in a cage for a long time and when I blossomed out of awkwardness and into the real world, my caring empathetic nature turned more callous, psychologically manipulative for my needs, and feeling people's emotions and often times find my self mirroring negative energies *while* ignoring the energies of people around me; A bleeding heart cauterized.(made that up on the spot!). My point is, I *want* to change that but I feel what holds me back is my traumas and me still clinging on to them. Ignorance is bliss because wisdom comes from trauma. This is the first video I saw of your channel when i was doing a random empath dive on youtube and I'm already subscribed after, but this is really me saying in a block of text that I want some advice on how to get out of this "Dark path"...I can't even take that seriously yet I mean it at the same time, BAH!

[@theStoicMedium]

@Morion - Your quest is indeed the quest of a lifetime for many Empaths and HSPs. For me, a regular stillness meditation practice allowed me to begin to discern between my "instincts to survive" which were typically dark aggressive, and preemptive; and my "intuitive knowing" which was nurturing and compassionate. Concurrently, I kept 2-journals. One for my life and one for my psychic and intuitive development. Between the two perspectives I began to notice how my "intuitions" had either a positive or negative effect (karma) on my real-world results (well-being, happiness, coping, success, happiness). As my awareness expanded through my journaling, I began to develop on-demand, verifiable psychic abilities. Doing this allowed me to begin to hone my intuition into a skill and not simply a random ability that served to confuse and confound my experience of being alive. As my skills improved, my need to protect myself lessened which opened me to begin to delve into doing the work of shining light on the traumas I had internalized and buried at a very young age. As I directed my sensitivity and awareness within I was able to recontextualize my experiences from unconscious traumas into consciously recreated stories that made me the person I am. This was a slow and agonizing process. But as I did the work, I began to attract different people into my life which allowed me to be me more of the time and begin to do the work I'm doing to help others along their journey during this lifetime. I hope this is helpful. Warmly, Terry

[@moriontax]

@@theStoicMedium New sub, very helpful advice. I have been all types empath when a negative side of it took over and scared me so much I turned my back on my abilities. I had a male voice telling me things I didn't want to hear and refused to accept. Example , that my marriage was going to end. I also had dreamt about being a single mother of two boys before I even had my second son. This was extremely hard to accept because I was in love with my husband and how could my guides be so cruel to show me that which I didn't want. Then to have aliens visit me and operate on me whilst pregnant was the deal breaker. I became overwhelmed by everything happening to me and shut all spiritual work or messages out. Now 12 years later I am feeling the stirrings of that inner compass and knowing coming back .....so now to open up again without fear shutting me down. I did loose my marriage and have 2 sons..on my own.

I am a very intuitive empath along with being Aquarius as well as an Infj personality type. It's took me a very long time to understand my own complex being. I do have some special abilities that have been believed to have been handed down from birth. I have the ability to pick up on deep emotion in people and I also at time have had dreams that create a connection with death of people and I have to say at times it's been scary. Though these have been a hard thing to swallow or to understand they are there. I've never truly honed these abilities but during meditation I have seen amazing things. Spirit guides and also my deceased father. It's very hard to explain these things bc most people look at you like you are crazy. I would love to understand these abilities further.

Thank you for this video, I just subscribed and look forward to checking out more on your channel! My path was different as an empath though… When I was a young kid I learned that I had an ability to discern what anyone else was most afraid of or insecure about; if another kid tried to pick on me, I somehow knew the five to ten words I needed to speak in order to expose that and stop them dead in their tracks. I was NEVER a mean kid and would never start shit myself, but my precision was uncanny and really ended up deeply wounding whichever bully tried to start shit with me. This never really felt good to me but I have to admit I was a little proud of my ability to protect myself, or others that might’ve been picked on too. I just couldn’t stand being in the presence of cruelty but in hindsight, I also admit that my brand of fighting fire with fire also employed a level of cruelty on my end. When I was a younger woman, in my twenties and thirties, my friends used to even joke that I was the “player eater”, lol… It just used to really trigger me to see someone taking advantage of, or manipulating another. This little super power was only taken out of my toolbox when absolutely necessary. However, all the other empathic hits were nonstop and I walked around absorbing every unit of energy the world had to offer, with zero protection for another 25 years! It got so bad that at 31 years old I was close to a nervous breakdown. That’s when I went to a shaman that also had a degree in psychotherapy, but it was the shaman side of her that saved my life! She immediately taught me what an empath was. And also explained that I was walking around with a barrier that resembled Swiss cheese and everything was getting in. She, in the first two sessions thought me how to discern my own energy from that of another, how to ground and how to throw up protection, which I referred to as my “plexiglass”, lol This made my life soooooo much easier. But the fear and insecurities that arose from knowing people were lying to me in both big and small ways, ended up completely eroding my ability to trust people, including and far worse, myself! So I can relate to the “fear” you spoke of but in a different way (I think), or at least a way that you didn’t flesh-out completely. My fears stemmed from feeling that because people lie most of the time, I couldn’t really trust them, which created and then triggered any insecurities or fears I personally held. It took me a decade long journey of working on my shadow material and healing a lot of that through various means, to get to know who I really am and firmly stand in that truth before I could drop those fears and insecurities, not get triggered and fully receive the intuitions as they came. After getting super clear on all that, now people energetically appear to me as if they are three pillars of energy… 1). Their soul truth or core self, 2). What they are saying, and 3). What they are feeling. When these three pillars are aligned I know they are being authentic. And when they are not, I can easily perceive “static” or a fuzziness that lets me know they’re not. I’m 54 years old now and back then there wasn’t a distinction for “empath”, so it was quite the long journey! But I’m happy to say that during all this time, and lots of personal healing along the way, I learned to work with my empathic abilities. I learned how to take this “super power” and turn it into a power for doing good by helping people in my coaching practice get clear with who they truly are, what they truly want, and to make the honest choices to bring that about. I’m grateful for all the resources people like you proved for the younger empaths and light workers, it will make their journeys much shorter and less painful before they can use what they were born with and are here to do during this global energetic shift😊👏👏👏

[@theStoicMedium]

54? You're just getting started... I too am grateful for information to be available to those seeking answers. When I was young, they said information is power and as I watch the power "disinformation" has over people decisions, it becomes more important for us to learn to finely tune our bullshit detectors and develop competence based confidence to allow the meek to inherit the earth... Because if we don't, there will be nothing left to inherit. I applaud the work you've done. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Warmly, Terry

[@morfiusx]

Meditations brought me to you and this has been very helpful. Thank you!

[@loreenamaier420]

Thank you!!! I love your information and will definitely see tou between asleep and awake what you are all about!!

[@theuniquebean]

This is what I’m working on now. I used to see spirit as a child and would know things. Was told that was a curse so I became fearful of it. I’m now able to heal with my hands and feel others energies. It’s the fear of a negative energy coming through even though I know I have to get through that to continue to help others. Hope that makes sense? Thanks for this information. I will be watching more videos . Hugs to you and everyone here💕✨

[@theStoicMedium]

Makes perfect sense. With proper training you can manage these energies without worry or concern. Hugz.

[@makaylaforbes6719]

Thank you for this. It's a great exercise to keep the intuitive pathway open for sure. I have been open to energies my entire life, so I've got experience with most types of "knowing". But just like everything else, it's a "use it or lose it" type of deal (though you never really lose it, it takes some work to reconnect and be confident in the connection)

[@theStoicMedium]

Brilliantly stated. It is like riding a bike. While you never forget how, we do require reconditioning when we haven't ridden for a while.

[@donnaarledge359]

I want to thank you very much. You have given me some things to think heavily on. For that I thank you. I also appreciate the simple fact that you did not let anyone know to go on another path.

[@leahquispe4569]

YES.....That is the MOST important.... Learning what's me and what's not ME....

[@theStoicMedium]

An essential skill.

[@jillianmetzger6503]

I am all 3. I'm finally learning about all this which helps so much! It is very difficult learning 2 navigate the world when u feel everything! Thank you for your guidance! BLESSED BE💜3

[@theStoicMedium]

Indeed my pleasure. I'm glad you found us.

[@loreleismith5955]

Hmm, Intuitive for sure. I love the spider web analogy...the net barrier to protect oneself. And the maintenance draining energy. Quite an exact description. Thanks for the information on the card test and verification that fear blocks. Much love.

[@theStoicMedium]

Welcome. I'm glad you connected.

[@kathleen8309]

It's funny how you explained that we feel that things are about us, uncomfortable in my own skin. When I was 3 years old, I kept crying and telling my mother, " Him laugh at me, him say dummy to me " it took my Mother a while to figure out what was going on. I was crying because a squirrel was up in the tree chattering and I thought he was laughing at me and making fun of me. Even at that age I felt it.

[@nikoroo]

Thank you for this! 🙏🏽

[@msdash9305]

Thank you for this content it is very helpful. There is so much in this presentation for me to relate to and have a better understanding of this topic which is after 60 years no longer have a false sense of self in thinging it was more of burden to the quality of life that I desperately wanted. It would seem things have come full circle. I am realizing now this is a gift and should be managed with a positive spark and x

[@theStoicMedium]

Excellent. I'm glad you've come full circle. Our communities need empower empaths who are confident in their abilities. Welcome

[@HGZMO]

Cheers. Enjoy the thoughts and love and respect for sharing with us your church fam

[@theStoicMedium]

Thank you for letting me know. 😃 Glad you connected. Take good care.

[@HGZMO]

@@theStoicMedium cheers and thank you. Keeping the good vibes and love and respect and thank you again. Take care! Scseagraves

[@ullis369]

I am an intuitive empath and also hsp. I feel everything and it is so hard sometimes to block and "shut it of".

[@theStoicMedium]

The training works to help you learn to quiet your mind and calm your emotions so you can not be effected by all the noise.

[@suzannewilliams759]

Ill be working on this test. THANK YOU so much. Goosebumps from head to toe.

[@S1RLANC3]

I've known about this for 2 years now. I've been misserable for 30 years of my life till I understood that I was just different and percieved things in a different way. As for the type that I am, I'm all of those plus I have situations where I mirror actual touch as well. I actually once got into Lucid dreaming and learned two things. I learned that my dreams were very normal and I also learned that things that happened in my dream would happen to an extent within a day or two. That literately happened all the time. I honestly didn't like that much so I stopped paying attention to my dreams so I usually don't remember my dreams. I would note that if I go to bed with the purpose of knowing that I'm going to dream and pay close attention than I do wake up remembering the dream. As for what was stated earlier, it can be incredibly overwhelming and it took me a lot of time to learn how to direct it so i can control it. Especially with the type of job I have, it can be too overwhelming at times. The interesting thing is, I'm not very spirutual as I can't rationalize it so it's not something I've ever wanted to be able to do. It just happens and I understand that it's who I am so I just do my best to learn to live with it. I do love and hate it at the same time though.

[@theStoicMedium]

Welcome Hulk! That was one of my nicknames in High School. Many old souls and empaths are not very spiritual nor feeling they particularly want to develop their abilities into skills. For me, learning how to develop and control my abilities for on-command access was something I was compelled to do. I was drawn to developing my abilities like a moth to a flame. This was especially true for my dreams and prognostications. Of course I had a brilliant teacher who showed me how to develop my skills using scientific methodology rather than random superstition. I'm glad you stopped by and connected. Take good care.

[@Jackie-ng3rn]

I'm sensitive empathic who feels and have knowing, when something is off and when things are going to be alright in situation.

[@theStoicMedium]

Brilliant. I'm glad you listen to your knowing. Thanks for connecting.

[@user-xg7uk1vv4n]

Thank you for the information. I've known since I was young I had "ESP" - had an experience in jr high, knew exactly what numbers (in a string of numbers) the teacher was going to write on the board. And it scared the hell out of me. I've had other similar experiences, and similar reactions. Hearing about the fear reaction actually made me feel better. I'll be joining you for church on Sunday!

[@wilhelminathorne6654]

I am so in searching mode for a long while. I knew there is more to me than just existing. Thank you

[@theStoicMedium]

You're welcome and indeed my pleasure. Thank you for connecting.

[@zoricaveljanoska6407]

Your explanation of Emphat it's spot on.Feeling others emotions it's not fun sometimes.On the other side I can tell when someone is lying .Beeing Emphat rocks.🙏🥰

[@theStoicMedium]

It can be a double edged sword that is difficult to wield at times. I'm glad you've mastered its powers.

[@OrianaCapaldiCiudad]

I've always been super intuitive with basically everything in life. Always knew who to be friends with and who I straight up didn't want near me nor in my life. I've given the benefit of the doubt only two times in my entire life, those two people are my worst experiences. But thanks to them, I know my intuition is always right. I can read people so easily, even just by looking at a picture of someone.. crazy but I love it

[@theStoicMedium]

Excellent. I'm glad you've found a system that works. :D

[@OrianaCapaldiCiudad]

TS Hall - the Stoic Medium definitely!

[@shaylagoogle3097]

Intuitive, empath. One thing I had to deal with other people emotions weren't mine. Its hard to deal with at times but, I figured it out after watching a video of empaths. Great video!

[@MsTosha1111]

Thank you for this video! It was very interesting, and I look forward to speaking with you soon

[@lynnbarnes227]

I am an intuitive Empath and very empathetic ❤️... It can be very overwhelming sometimes and make me very emotional... I am an introvert I am not a people person , but I feel the need to help them. I don't do well in public places , it causes me to have really bad anxiety sometimes I have to reject their energy an acknowledge it is not mine..🥺I can also tell when people are not be completely honest ...

[@theStoicMedium]

For me, I've found allowing energy to flow through rather than rejecting it works better because it takes less energy to manage on my part. It was that resisting and managing that kept my anxious.

[@keepupwithliv]

ooh this was so interesting!

[@theStoicMedium]

😀

[@dirtysouthgirl5046]
