An Empath has the ability to think about, understand, and feel the compassion by the feelings and emotions of others. Empaths are usually healers as well. They are channels to help the human experience with healing of the mind, body and soul. They are spiritual warriors and/or energy alchemists. They can transmute the dark into light, the negative into positive, and purify the world in order to help us all live a better existence while here on earth. How do we know what type of Empath we are? What are the different types of Empaths? Below is a list of different types of Empaths.
Claircognizant Empath
The Claircognizant Empath is one that actually shows traits from two of the Clars. They have traits from both the Clairaudient and Clairvoyant categories. These two clars are of clear hearing and clear seeing. They are known to be individuals who are of clear knowing. Clear knowing is the ability to not actually have the knowledge from the aspect of education but still knows the facts from within. These Empaths have the capacity to simply know certain things and are enlightened with the understanding and vivid ideas. This can puzzle and inspire others as to how they know what they know.
Emotional Empath
This type of Empath is the most common and is categorized by the amount of emotional energy they are able to feel. They are highly sensitive to the feelings of others on an energetic level. They are able to walk into a room and feel the energy of the room and of people within. They deeply feel the effects of the feelings of others. They can actually connect with others and feel what they are experiencing before that person expresses anything to them. As an example, this Empath is one that can watch a movie, get into the characters feelings so much that they feel the actual feelings which are being projected to the audience themselves.
Fauna or Animal Empath
This type of Empath has the ability to understand and feel the state of animals. They are not limited to just the cat and dog types; as they are connected to all species. They can connect to their mental, emotional, and physical states. These Empaths have a strong relationship with animals and can actually be connected to their energies. Some are known to be able to telepathically communicate with the creatures. They are sometimes known to like animals more than they do their human counterparts.
Geomantic Empath
This type of Empath is known to have a deep connection with certain places and/or environments. They feel the presence or soul of a particular place and they can be subconsciously drawn to those places. These Empaths feel the happiness or sorrow of the specific place they are drawn to. Some of these types of places could be a church, cemetery, hospital and more. They are attuned to the natural world and will grieve for the damage which might be done to it. They are also known by the popular nickname of “tree-hugger” (stated with no disrespect). They love the earth and will do anything to protect it from the damages from others who might not be so connected and disrespect it.
Heyoka Empath
This is a Native American term for an Empath with the function of the joker. This type of Empath can
be disruptive but not in a bad way. They are able to move between the physical and spiritual worlds with ease. They are basically the cousin and with similar traits as the medium Empath. They can absorb the emotions and feels of others. They are considered to be the mirror Empath.
Intellectual Empath
The Intellectual Empath has the ability to communicate with a different vocabulary or jargon that their natural one. This type of Empath can adapt to another language and phrases of another with ease without prior knowledge of the actual language in which they are speaking. This can happen almost immediately and in difference contexts.
Medium or Spiritual Empath
This type of Empath has a deep-rooted connection with other realms, the supernatural force or even the deceased. They can connect with forces they do not see but very much feel, hear or with the emotional output of the spirit or spiritual world. They can have the ability to hear and speak with other realms in order to speak a message needing to be heard, or feel the feelings in order to convey they messages they receive.
Physical or Medical Empath
This Empath has the ability to physically feel the aches, pains or illnesses of others around them. They are highly sensitive to the physical suffering of others. These Empaths can intuitively know what ails another person. They are very receptive to receiving information of suffering souls. They can see blockages in others within their energy fields. They often become exhausted and burnt out as they have the tendency to pull in those feelings; or hostile as they have no control over the receiving of the stress, pain or emotional feelings of others.
Plant Empath
A Plant Empath is directly connected to the plant world. They have the intuitive sense on what plants need that are around them. They will usually look for employment within the parks, gardens, and wild landscape positions as they love helping nurture plants. They just have a knowing of what the plants are communicating. They actually have the gift of receiving guidance from the trees.
Precognitive Empath
A Precognitive Empath has a very strong sense of intuition. They have the visions telling of events of the future. This gives them the capacity to foretell or predict occurrences that have yet happened. The visions often come to them within their dreams. They actually dream of signs and symbols that are important to reveal the future rather than actual story telling dreams.
Psychometric Empath
The Psychometric Empath has the ability to receive energies that carry detailed information from an item such as jewelry, a pre-owned item, photograph, or clothing; as well as so many other items. This Empath can collect the energetic information and make sense of it in order to convey its message to someone.
Telepathic Empath
A Telepathic Empath is one that can decipher, read and interpret someone’s inner thoughts. Some of this type of Empath can also if focusing on one individual read and even experience what another is thinking. This is also known as thought transference.

Is it possible for a person to have not just one empath but have multiple empaths all of the same time? I think mine is obviously is Plant Emath and this maybe because I grew up in a farm where plants were my playmates when I was just a kid. Based on the descriptions here, I think I also has a slight Animal Empath but not as strong as the Plant Empath. So, is it possible to have mutiple Empaths?
Thank you Gomer for your comment. Yes, you can have more than one – your Plant would be a higher percentage than the Animal one – as you stated. I am within the categories of Emotional and Physical. There are even some individuals who can show with more than two, but as mentioned the percentages range differently.
What an interesting article! I am so glad I stumbled upon it. I didn’t know there were so many types of empath. I honestly thought there was one.
This is so exciting to read. I am definitely Animal Empath; I love and understand animals since I was a child. I have always found some lost or injured animals and took care of them. It even happen to me that when I was at the party, there was a stray cat there, and I started to talk and play with it, so it eventually fell asleep in my lap. I definitely like animals more than people. When I am around people too much, I get tired. This never happened to me with animals. And of course, I am a vegan. I couldn’t eat any animal or see it suffer because of me.
And thanks to you, I know where I belong now. Thank you for sharing.
Have a nice day.
Thank you Katja for your comments and sharing a part of your experience with animals. Check back soon to my page as I will be doing an article on what you can do to re-energize as well as self-care and clearing your energy when you get tired of the human factor. Love and light!
Thank you so much. I am looking forward to reading it. I am sure I will learn a lot of valuable information.
Have a beautiful day.
