Empath Awareness & Intuitives

Welcome Home

Empath Awareness & Intuitives Meetup Site

This group is designed to bring together those of us who "feel" more than the "normal" person, have never seemed to fit in, but have always been "special" in a very different way. We are each "gifted", but have at many times felt cursed, not knowing how to deal with what we are experiencing, and have not had any coping mechanisms for how to deal with what we go through that makes us this way. Because of this, many of us have become introverts, withdrawing from society, misinterpreted incorrectly by society as to who we are. Many of us don't even realize what we are experiencing or who we are until much later in life. Some of us are even outgoing, which contradicts the norm, which makes it even more complicated, but both of us require "down-time" to replenish our energy. 

Herein, Empath Awareness and Intuitives comes into play.  We have come together to create a "safe" environment, a place where we "belong" and are not "freaks", where we find others like ourselves, who experience the same or similar things.  And in sharing those experiences, we are able to grow and turn what felt like "curses" into gifts and even learn to deal with them and eventually expand those gifts, sometimes not only helping ourselves, but coming to help others in the process.  We have found that many of our members also have clairvoyant and or psychic abilities too.  We all help each other with every gift we have, work to learn, self accept, as all of these gifts contribute to who we are, regardless of the extent that we have those gifts.

I have found that I possess many gifts, but still yet do not know the extent of my gifts.  With this group, the burden has been lifted and I now flourish, instead of hide.  I look forward to my future, instead of the "dreary" day ahead.  Fear of absorbing the energy around me, because I had no coping mechanisms, because now I have a family that is helping me through that, and with finding us, you now do too. 

An Empath is a type of "psychic", but instead of reading the "future" or viewing remote objects, the Empath specializes in reading people. I only mention all this because there is now a huge overlap/confusion between the two words. The "free for all" mentality of the new age movement seized upon the Empath term after we flooded it on the internet, so everyone , everywhere threw in what they had or knew to the concept. I suggest using the word Empath as a hybrid form of psychic, more of a realistic/grounded version of our potential for extra sensory perception.  An Empath is sensitive to the visible as well as the invisible. An Empath reads  body language,  tone of voice, body movements, the words people choose when they speak, the words they avoid, the logic they use; and the hidden things that only an Empath can sense inside another person. A fully developed Empath reads on what could be considered a 360 degree scope... Empaths are extremely powerful people.

Our Founder, Staysee Yod wrote the following:

We are here to see how we can support each other through sharing dreams and healing // centering // protection techniques. We, also have skilled tarot readers and Intuitives in the group who routinely share their skills. 

As Empaths or Intuitives, it can feel like a huge storm inside when we don't learn to harness our abilities. It can also be a source of inspiration for knowing when to let go // let loose.

How do you know that you are an Empath ?

* Do you feel better alone ? 
* Do you tend to get tired or worn out in crowds ? 
* Is it a pattern in your life for people to seek out your company to make them feel better ?
* Are people drawn to you to tell you all their problems ?
* Have you been told: "you are too sensitive?"  

If so, there is a good possibility that you are an Empath.

The ability (( or, curse - as some might call it )) goes much deeper. Not only can an Empath tune into and absorb another person's emotions - which make them highly sought after to make others feel good. They can, also, affect and project emotions in their friends, families and complete strangers.  

This group is the place to embolden our unique perspective on the planet. We welcome those who feel called to the word Empath as an identity for them and choose to gain strength by sharing space with others who have done the same.    

For those who have been lost, you have now found "your place" here with us.  Welcome Home.
