Exploring the Connections Between Clairsentience, Clairempathy, and Empaths

Have you ever:
Gone somewhere and instantly felt drained?
Found that when you spend significant time with people, you feel like you need a nap, or hours to days alone to recover, even when it’s a happy event?
Felt upset about something, only to realize later that they weren’t your feelings at all?
Gotten so involved in a story that you felt the same way the person experiencing it does?
Felt when someone you love was in trouble?
These are all examples of Clairsentience, Clairempathy, or being an Empath. I’ll talk about each one separately and how to regain your energy and prevent you from being drained in the first place.
Clairsentience means clear-feeling.
It’s your gut instinct, feeling like someone is lying to you, that something is “off”, or a mother’s intuition. You can sense the feeling of something without having to “feel” it directly.
You can also change “I feel” with “I sense.” For example:
I sense this ring belongs to Maria.
I sense that Johnny’s in trouble.
I sense that Grandma's spirit is around.
Let’s look at this a bit more closely.
Empaths are people who actually feel things in places, people, and things, but only in the present. Often, they are not even aware that they are tapping into others' emotions.
When you talk to someone about their trauma, you feel their pain. It's like it’s happening to you too.
For example, when an ambulance drives by, you feel the fear, pain, and anguish of the person in crisis, or tears run down your face.
When you see or hear about an animal in pain, you feel their pain too.
You tend to bring bugs outside, rather than killing them.
You feel most alive in or around nature and animals.
You see the best in people.
Clairempathy has the same gifts as an Empath, but they can feel things in the past, present, and future. As the veil gets thinner with the earthly changes, more and more empaths are being guided into Clairempathy.
If they sense a disaster is coming, they feel the grief and loss of those who lose their lives, their pets, and their homes.
People who have Clairempathy, Empaths, and Clairsentience tend to:
Pick up other people’s energies and take them on as their own.
Feel easily overwhelmed with feelings, and are told repeatedly that they are “too sensitive” or “emotional.”
Can see both sides of an argument, so it’s hard to set boundaries and let people off the hook for bad behavior.
Regularly feel emotionally drained or exhausted.
You feel the aches and pains of others in your own body, thinking that you have the same ailment.
Need to isolate or decompress after being with others for any length of time.
Love to be around animals and in nature.
Tend to be in Helping Professions.
Tend to be compassionate, loving, supportive, and see the best in others.
How to regain your energy:
With the world being as chaotic as it is, it’s more important than ever to keep strong boundaries. While we think we may be helping others by trying to process their negative energy, and can cause 2 things to happen:
1. It prevents them from experiencing their own feelings, which prevents them from learning how to cope. At the same time, it doesn’t stop their negative feelings, which gives them a justification for their dysfunctional coping techniques.
2. It drains you and prevents you from doing your own work. It’s noble, however, that you want to try to help.
When you start to feel intense feelings, ask yourself if they are your feelings. If they aren’t, ask your Spirit Guides or Angels to help you release them. It can help to spend lots of time in nature or with animals.
Use a protective bubble to keep unwanted energies from getting into your space.
See my blog on bubbles here:
Check yourself regularly for energy cords and remove them.
If you find them, ask that they be removed from the root, rather than “cutting” them. Just like weeds, it’s more effective when you pull the roots; otherwise, they can grow back.
Clear yourself and your surroundings regularly.
Sage, Palo Santo, Selenite, Tibetan Bowls, Feathers, and Water (shower or bath). Also, opening windows and letting fresh air in will help.
Give yourself Self-care:
Avoid negative people and places.
Leave when you feel drained, or go outside to get some fresh air.
Spend time with animals.
Trust your inner guidance.
Your Angels, Spirit Guides, and often your family and friends can see things you can’t, and this saves you a whole ton of grief down the line.
Having Clairempathy or being an Empath is a great gift to the planet. You see and feel things that others can’t, which allows you to see the world as a better place, having more empathy for others when they falter, and being a more loving and compassionate person. The world needs more of us. Thanks for being you.
