Intuitive Empathy

Yellow everyone!!

I hope life is treating you well and you are treating yourself well too. We already reached the middle of 2022 and since January I just feel the year running. Hopefully you are on the pathway to achieve your goals or already achieved some. In case you didn´t, there is still time to work on it. My first intention for 2022 is accept and go with the flow of life (loose up some control) and it is going well with it´s goods and not so good parts :).

Intentions and goals apart, today I am here to write about something we certainly don´t have much control over it, which is intuitive empathy.

First, before describing the concept, do you believe in premonitions, feel energy from people, strong intuition?

There are different fields, approaches studying and working with the human intuitive, empathetic traits / “capacities” which allow humans to have sensitive, intuitive experiences such as visions, premonitory dreams, strong intuition, and others. Some people say that as human beings, we all have those traits within us waiting for some kind of awakening. Clearly I am not an expert, as an adult just I´ve became interested in the content because I had and have some intuitive experiences and somehow I believe I fit in the “Intuitive Empath” definition. According to Judith Orloff, MD, “Intuitive Empaths” are highly sensitive people that can sense subtle energies, emotions, and physical symptoms from others and absorb that energy into their own bodies. They may experience profound spiritual and intuitive experiences such as heightened intuition, telepathy, messages in dreams, animal and plant communication, or have premonitions about the future while awake or dreaming.”

Well, going to the past, I can’t remember the first time I had a strong “feeling” about something or had a dream that turned out to happen in my reality, but I remember that after that, I was afraid. I was particularly most afraid of my dreams, because we dream often, usually uncertain and the possibility to happen was frightening. I was afraid to share those experiences and being called crazy or worst for us African, something related with witchcraft. I was confused when I felt very uncomfortable by being in some places or with some people with no logical reason. I didn’t know how to feel or deal with it, especially if the dreams and feelings were negatives.

As an adult I began to see and read more about similar experiences and started becoming more comfortable with the experiences, sharing that with some friends, asking people about similar experiences. And it´s interesting, beautiful that I’ve been discovering more and more people in my circle who share the same experiences weather with dreams, visions, feeling people’s energy or other. I’m glad in our days there is more information, platforms available for people to share, understand, and explore more about the topic without fear. And if that’s you, you’re not alone.

Before I wrap up I want to share one of the most beautiful and frightening experiences with intuitive dreams. The beautiful I have to say is seeing a friend/ relative´s child as they are after being born, before even known about their pregnancy. The most frightening was definitely feeling my mother´s “spirit” holding me in agony while she kept telling me that she was OK recovering from a surgery and we were in two different continents. Afterwards she let me know afterwards that in the moment I reached her she was in severe pain and afraid to die.

I remember I prayed to not have this experiences but I’m glad I got some understanding and embraced it. Today I’m grateful to be able to be there for people in need even before they asked. I’m grateful to be able in a certain extent to surround myself with people who enrich my energy and recognize those who don’t. I’m grateful as I feel guided and protected in a certain extent.

What about you, have you experienced a vision, premonition dream; felt someone’s energy or something similar?

Share your thoughts with me.

Be brave. Be you. Be happy.
