There are a great number of empaths in our world at this time in history. Many have not yet realized they are empathic, whereas others may have always known it. Empaths are abound at many different stages of development, from not knowing, to just realizing, to learning to work with their empathic abilities, as well as those who have become masters at managing energy.
A person who is an empath, literally absorbs the energy or emotion around them. Because energy that is associated with a particular spirit, always is, that means an empath may also be able to feel that energy or emotion of spirits whether they are here with us still on this plane, alive and well, or spirits who have passed away, but still remain, as well as those who have passed to the other side, and are here momentarily visiting.
What many empaths may not realize in the beginning of the journey with this gift, is that not only do empaths absorb emotion or energy, you also project it. Thus when you are feeling very motivated, for example, everyone around you is also motivated. In turn when you are feeling very negatively, so is everyone around you.
The gift of empathy is a blessing, and is never a curse. Your perception of your empathic abilities is very important in your growth and journey, as is learning to work with, and use those abilities. There is a reason you have these abilities. The gift of empathy is a powerful gift, and is given to powerful beings. Accept this beautiful gift, and learn to use it for its highest good. You are literally part of a huge team that is here to raise the vibration levels of our world. There is certainly a long list of signs, as well as varying degrees of empathic ability.
While these , by far, are not the only signs you may be empathic, the following signs are very common ones in empaths. You may find you have all of these or only some of these, along with others not mentioned here.
You feel emotion (even your own) very intensely.
You are described by others as an emotional person.
Your moods often change for no apparent reason, and may coincide with others entering or leaving your environment.
Places have “feelings” to you, for example, you may walk into a place you have never been, and feel very uncomfortable when there is no obvious reason, or feel a wave of sadness or other intense emotion as you enter.
You are a musician, poet, writer, singer, or of any other creative talent. Others tell you your work makes them “feel”.
When you are highly emotional, small appliances may malfunction when you try to use them.
When you are highly emotional, light bulbs blow as you flip switches to turn them on.
When you are highly emotional and trying to use a computer, the computer malfunctions.
You seem to take on the physical “pain” of others.
You often wake around 3am.
You tend to know instantly when someone is lying to you.
Others view you as being very open, whether you view yourself that way or not.
Gatherings with large crowds make you feel anxious.
You tend to follow your feelings more than your intellect in decision making.
You sense ghosts or spirits and may often feel someone is there, when no one is visibly present.
TV commercials, songs, etc. make you cry. (from both sadness and joy)
You feel the energy of plants, trees, and other aspects of nature.
These are some of the more common signs of empathic ability. For the empath, learning to be aware and observant from within is the first step toward becoming fully in tune with this beautiful gift of feeling.

I am one of the empaths that have just become aware of this ability, but haven’t quite figured out how to use it. I often feel that it uses me! Are there classes to learn to utilize and better understand this ability?

Hey Beth & fellow empath,
Thanks for the helpful article. Glad I found your blog!
This post makes a lot of sense !
Great post!
I’ve been checking your blog for a while now, seems like everyday I learn something new
Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I was blessed when I was lead to your site. Without a doubt… I can say You my friend are a Gentle Soul. It shines through each of your words!
I have been on this rollercoaster of Spiritual Awakening for as long as I can remember… Most recently, in the past 3 years, I have become “undeniably aware” of “who & what” I am… The past 9 months have been so intense… As I believe the Universe decided I have lived in denial long enough!
For my entire life, as long as I can remember… I have always felt so different than everyone else. I struggled to the point of severe chronic depression and suicidal idealations… My moment of awakening came after the loss of my Father and deaths of several other very close loved ones.
This Path… Although exhilarating at times… Is frot with struggles and overwhelming intensities…. I have searched high and low in the hopes of finding a “mentor” or “teacher” to guide me along with a gently… With no luck… There is so much noise and confusion out there, not knowing truth from ploy gets kinda frustrating…
So, thank you again for your sweet and kind words of experience… You are an inspiration to me.
Much love,
Meg~
Thank you as well, Meg, for taking the time to share this with me. Your words are also an inspiration to me. I offer development mentoring, and I would love to help you further!
Much love back to you!
This website was very helpful. It explains a lot of what I experience, however my biggest concern is my growing fear of the dark. I have always been somewhat afraid of the dark but now I am extremely afraid of the dark. I feel as though if I try to look around in the dark I will see someone or something. I have never seen a spirit (I don’t think so at least) but I can just feel that I am not alone. My fear of the dark is getting to be annoying, as I can’t even get up in the middle of the night and use the bathroom without sprinting there. I cannot sleep with the tv off because I am scared of hearing or seeing something that I don’t want to see. I went to an energy reader and asked her about this and she said there is definitely something there, but my anxiety only got worse after I saw her. Sometimes it doesn’t even have to be dark, I feel as though if I turn around I will see someone or something behind me. I know I come from a long line of spiritual Native Americans, and I was told I was a healer in a past life. I want to know what this means. Should I be doing something to stop this? Is there some dark energy around me? Or am I just sensitive to energies?
Thanks, I have recently been on the lookout for facts with this issue for ages and your website is the best I’ve seen up to now.
