Are you Clairsentient or an Empath?
There are important differences that point to whether you are clairsentient or an empath.
Since both abilities have everything to do with feeling, it can become a bit confusing when trying to determine if the way you receive psychic information points to you being clairsentient or an empath.
While many empaths may also be clairsentient, they are actually two totally different psychic abilities that many people often confuse. There are very specific differences between being clairsentient or an empath.
There are a few different types of the gift of empathy, but they all have to do with literally absorbing and/or projecting energy of different kinds, thus the various different kinds are based on what type of energy is perceived or absorbed, and where it comes from specifically.
Empaths literally feel the information they receive. Thus an emotional empath will feel the emotion of another within as if the feeling is their own, and a physical empath will feel the pain of another person as if it is their own.
One who is clairsentient perceives through feelings or receives through clear feeling. Thus, you may often hear one who is clairsentient say things like, “I just had a feeling I shouldn’t go.”
You may also hear them say things like, “I have a really bad feeling about moving forward on this path like something bad will happen if I do.”
Clairsentience is often described as sort of a “knowing” through a “feeling” or how the situation felt.
One Major Difference Between a Clairsentient and an Empath
One major difference between one who is clairsentient and one who is empathic is an empath feels or absorbs the energy or people, plants, animals, or even spirits that are actually in their environment.
A clairsentient, on the other hand, picks up on energy both within and outside their environment.
A Second Important Difference Between a Clairsentient and an Empath
A second very important difference is an empath actually absorbs the energy of others, whereas one who is clairsentient receives information through clear feeling without absorbing the energy or the emotion of the person or situation.
A clairsentient can pick up on energy even if they are thousands of miles away from the person, animal, or entity they are receiving the information from. So, you might say, someone who is clairsentient has a much broader range than someone who is an empath.
Both abilities are very special abilities that very often work together with each other as well as with other psychic abilities. Both are, without a doubt, helping abilities to other accompanying psychic abilities.
Other abilities such as clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), and even others, often join together with both abilities so they actually, in a sense, make other psychic abilities stronger.
However, one who is clairsentient has a much longer and broader reach than one who is an empath.
One who is clairsentient can tell you how the other person in a relationship is feeling and actually receive other information from other accompanying psychic abilities that tell the psychic why the other person is actually feeling the way they are
It is also very common for one who is clairsentient to also have the gift of psychometry which allows them to touch an object or hold an object and receive more information about a person or situation from doing so.
Whether you are clairsentient or an empath both abilities are very powerful psychic abilities and have much to offer others who are seeking answers in their relationships as well as other areas of their lives.
