Empath or Clairsentient

Good Evening Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors!

We'be back from our coffee break with more information for everyone who has been following along with our discussion on Empaths and Intuitive Empaths.  In our last Blog Session, we touched upon Clairempathy.

Now, for those of you who believe you are an Empath or could have empathic abilities, we're going to turn our attention to the question of whether or not your empathic abilities could really be Clairsentience?

Whoa, what is this you say? ~ It is a topic that is more fuel for your Empath Journal.  So, pull out your Journal, and get ready to write . . .


Lets talk about the definitions of an Empath and a Clairsentient...

Empath:  the ability to feel or sense what others are feeling and take on that emotion in your own body. 
Clairsentient:  the ability to sense what others are feeling, take that emotion in your own body, and receive instinctual information about the event or situation.
The definitions of both sound close, but there is one slight difference -- the Clairsentient can "receive instinctual information about the event or situation."
For many years, those with empathic abilities were simply called “overly sensitive” and were shunned or told to “suck it up” when they would feel things deeply.  But today it is a different story.  Less people are stuck inside a box in their mind, body & spirit because of what others have taught them or said to them to make them close up, and they have become more aware.  Ignorance is not always bliss.  And, being selfish and self-centered is one way to make sure that you never grow spiritually, and what's worse, you never learn anything new.
Now, the idea of empathic people is becoming more highlighted in our consciousness as a society, and a lot of people have been able to identify with the definition.
Empaths have the ability to feel what others are feeling and are sensitive in crowded spaces or when around large groups of people.  Empaths are also likely to cry when other people cry and feel other people’s joy and pain.  Empaths can also take these emotions into their own body and feel physical symptoms like headaches, nausea and anxiety.
So that you may get a sense of what we are talking about here, just think about this ~ when we are are very close and connected with someone, like those in our family, our friends, or close associates, it is likely that we can also feel very sensitive to their emotions.  However Empaths have the ability to do this with all people regardless of their connection with the person.  Therefore, This can become very overwhelming if not contained and can lead to anxiety, depression and feeling drained.
Most empaths are clairsentient as well, however they just may not know it.
The gift of Clairsentience is more psychic or intuitive in nature.  Clairsentient people can feel what other people are feeling and take those feelings into their own body, however they can also receive information about the emotion and why it is there.  Those in the Ministry may identify with what is being said here.
This information is more of a “feeling” that helps to provide insight around the emotion.  The feeling is often very intuitive and helps the person to know whether they should trust the situation or the person.
Those with the gift of Clairsentience have very, very heightened senses and may also be able to detect energy within a space or person.
If Spirits are present, those with Clairsentient abilities would be able to pick up on the feelings of that Spirit.  If a certain energy is present, such as an emotional energy in a space, object or person, the Clairsentient will also be able to detect this.  Like walking into a room, and feeling the negative vibration of the people within the room.  Or the energy from the crowd that left the room.  It is no different than going into a home, and suddenly feeling ill because the people within are sick.  Negative as well as positive vibrations can be felt.
In fact, if you are able to detect “energy” in a space, even when no one is around, or detect energy from a person even when they are not displaying emotions, it is most likely that you are clairsentient and not just empathic.

Clairsentient definition

The psychic ability of clairsentience literally means clear sensing.  Today the definition of clairsentience means the broad gift of being able to sense psychic information. 
For your Journals, there are a host of psychic abilities, including, but not limited to the following:
  • Clairsentience – The ability to acquire psychic knowledge by feeling.
  • Clairaudience – The ability to acquire information by paranormal auditory means.
  • Claircognizance – The ability to acquire psychic knowledge by means of intrinsic knowledge.
  • Clairvoyance – The ability to perceive person, object, location, and physical events through extrasensory perception.
  • Faith healing – The ability to diagnose or cure diseases using religious devotion.
  • Intuition – The ability to acquire knowledge without proof, evidence, or conscious reasoning, or without understanding how the knowledge was acquired, but instead having direct access to unconscious knowledge, unconscious cognition, inner sensing, inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition and the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning.
  • Prophesy – The ability to predict what will happen in the future.
  • Retrocognition or postcognition – The ability to perceive past events.
  • Precognition or premonition – The ability to perceive future events.
  • Remote viewingtelesthesia or remote sensing – The ability to see a distant and unseen target using extrasensory perception.
  • Telepathy – The ability to transfer thoughts mentally through extrasensory perception.
  • Aura reading – The ability to perceive energy fields surrounding people, places and things.
  • Second sight – The ability to see future and past events or to perceive information that is not present to the senses, in the form of a vision (precognition or remote viewing).
  • Energy medicine – The ability to heal with one's own empathic astral energy.
  • Eidetic memory or photographic memory – The ability to vividly recall images from memory after only a few instances of exposure, with high precision for a brief time after exposure, without using a mnemonic device.
  • Apportation – The ability to undergo materialization, disappearance or teleportation of an object.

Delusional Disorder

Mental Health Awareness Month
May 2017


Good Morning everyone ~  If you were here for our last Blog Session, then you have your Journal in hand, and you have all of your notes from our last discussion about Paranoia and Delusional Disorders.

Before we get into the topics of Schizophrenia and Psychosis, we are going to go over the topic of Delusional Disorder due to the number of requests received for further information.

Delusional Disorder is one of the category of psychotic disorders.  Not surprisingly, it is marked by the prevalence of delusions.  Delusions may be non-bizarre or bizarre. Delusions in general are persistent, unyielding beliefs that are not true.  These beliefs must persist for more than a month to be considered delusional, and must not be attributable to another disorder such as Schizophrenia, symptoms of which include delusions.  Beliefs must also not be attributable to substance use.  Persons with Delusional Disorder may function fairly well in society, hold a job, etc. Treatment includes medication and psychotherapy.

Non-bizarre delusions are false, persisting beliefs that while in some cases may be possible, are not true.  A common example would be that their significant other is cheating. While possible, to meet the criteria, the individual would have investigated, and repeatedly rechecked the possibility, found it to be untrue, yet persist in the belief.  A belief that he/she has a serious health condition that has been definitively ruled out is another common example.

Bizarre delusions are, again not surprisingly, beyond the realm of possibility in the eyes of the vast majority.  One example of a bizarre delusion cited in “Psych Central” is that a stranger has removed all their internal organs, closing the wound without leaving a scar.
Delusions may also be categorized based on the nature of the belief.  Likely the more well-known delusions include those of grandeur, in which the person believes themselves to be of grossly inflated power, notoriety, etc. (royalty, for example) as well as those of persecution in which the person believes that someone or some group is plotting against them.  Other types include somatic delusions, in which he or she would focus on a health issue as described above.  Erotomanic delusions, he/she believes someone of higher social status to be in love with them.  The example above regarding the cheating lover is a jealous type of delusion.  There are also mixed types (combination of types) and unspecified.
Relevance to National Paranormal Society is transparent.  A person who lives with Delusional Disorder truly believes their delusion.  If this belief is that they are being persecuted by a spirit for example, it is extremely difficult to convince this person, despite a lack of evidence, that this is not happening to them.  In one particular case, the client continues to request re-investigation by an Investigator despite having done so numerous times with no findings.
A person may claim that they were abducted by aliens and used for experimentation.  To a growing number of people, this is in the realm of possibility.  In these cases, it may be necessary to gain as much knowledge of the client as possible before drawing any conclusions.

Lets take a look at four types of Delusions . . .


The reason why we are going back over Delusional Disorders is because a person who is delusional (grandeur type) must be diagnosed properly to rule out possible Schizophrenia.


What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that usually appears in late adolescence or early adulthood.  Characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and other cognitive difficulties, schizophrenia can often be a lifelong struggle.
