I do beleive I have figured out what it is I feel (using my clairsentience) if someone is an empath. Feel free to post a comment if you want me to try to get a read on if you are in fact an empath and any other info regarding abilities you are blessed with.

Hi, Sherry!
Thanks so much for replying to my earlier query. I’ve been experiencing a pressure sensation on my forehead especially while mediating or being very relaxed and I’m wondering what it is. Does it have something to do with my third eye chakra?
Natasha
Natasha,
Your very welcome! Yes you are feeling your brow chakra open. That is an excellent sign that your brow is clear. So the question then become what is the state of your other chakras, especially your lower chakras which it is important to have those clear and open as well INCLUDING YOUR FOOT CHAKRA.
Let me see if I can do a mini reading for you:
First let me tell you that I did your reading by connecting to you and going outside and asking my guide to ask your guide what she/he wants you to know…so your reading is through nature symbolism and clairsentience.
You have some communication issues with someone near you. I am also getting a lack of independence and freedom. I feel this is related to a loved one in your life. Mother?
At this time I am getting that you are lacking control and confidence. This may be affecting your progress at this time. You need to reach and utilize your full potential. But there is somethin that is a burden to you or possibly overwhelming you.
I asked about your soul purpose and this is where it got really interesting cause keep in mind I was outside so that I could get symbolisms from nature:
The most beautiful black butterfly I have ever seen appeared. The butterfly shows your sensitivity as the butterfly is extremely sensitive to the Harmony of Earth, and is the first creature to leave a damaged ecology. Now again as I type this up I get my left hand and know that it is about how you connect to those around you. You are experiencing some insecurity and are going through a struggle wit some situation. The butterfly was lit on a marigold flower for quite some time and this tells you that you need to add more joy into your life through nature. This could be telling you that you need to get out more and experience nature and connect back to the earth and possibly that will help balance what is out of balance within you at this time. The butterfly also signifies change and asks us to stop keeping our joy at bay. The butterfly was black so I feel this is pointing to a change and a need to bring out spiritual and divine qualities in yourself. The butterfly was in the garden and this speaks of your potential and indicates that your hard work and diligence will pay off in the end. It is also symbolic of stability, potential, and inner growth. You need to cultivate a new skill or nurture your spiritual and personal growth.
A small black moth appeared next. The moth cannot rely on its sight, but has a highly developed sense of smell, which it uses at night, and indicate a need to be more sheltered in your creative transforming activities and relationships. Moth totems and messengers usually indicate an awakening sense of smell. It will be the fragrance of the opposite sex that will most attract and discourage. Trusting in one’s own outer and inner sense of smell will be important in relationships–sexual or otherwise.
What happened next was awesome…total silence. All of nature was suddenly quiet and I could have heard a pin drop. Then suddenly the sound of so many crickets it was almost deafening compared to the silence that ad preceded the sound of them. This is telling you of te potential of new opportunities you will have the opportunity to go after because it is a jumper and is willing to leap toward new opportunities. When you hear the chirp of the cricket it can indicate an opening or reopening of your inner voice will happen.
I am now getting my left ear which means you need to be more receptive to help and guidance from your guides.
Keep in mind that moths also chew holes in your clothes. Clothes represent your character. Is there something bothering you and eating you up inside? The cricket totem can help you get your emotional body in balance.
Next I looked up from the notes I was taking and on the table in front of me was a baby lizard looking at me like “here I am Im next do me now!” lol. Scared the crap out of me. lol. Lizards are associated with “dreamtime” and “clairvoyance.” They have the ability to consciously tap into intuition and higher knowledge. People with lizard medicine are able to sense subtle energies that most people overlook. It is important for people with lizard as their totem to pay heed to their own inner messages. Lizards are also known for their great speed and quick movements. For this reason, it is not surprising that a cartoon Gecko is a commercial icon for a well known car insurance company. Car accidents are often the result of speeding on the roadways. When lizard shows up it is likely a message to slow down and observe. It is time for you to be put on alert. Pay attention! You may be missing obvious clues that are right in front of you because you are in such a hurry to get somewhere.
Other than that I noticed that you need to work on your solar plexus. And lastly I was told you need to take control in your life…authority, direction, judgment are about you taking control and making decisions.
Sherry
Hi Sherry!
First of all, thanks so much for the reading! Yes, I am experiencing some communication problems with my mother. I’m about to enter a university to study medicine… because she wants me to. It’s actually my childhood dream to be an astronomer. She doesn’t want me to go into the astronomy field because it’s not very developed over here, which makes sense as local astronomers have practically no scope. However, the medical field is a tough one and I don’t think she quite knows what she’s forcing me into. Almost every doctor I’ve met tried to discourage me from entering the profession, some even saying that no one should do it if their parents want them to. I’m going along with her wish but I still hope that one fine day, I will get the chance to study astronomy.
You mentioned that I need to be more receptive to help and guidance from my guides. Can you give me some tips on how to contact and communicate with them? Thanks again!
Natasha
Natasha,
From personal experience it is not good to let any one have control when it comes to your life or direction your are heading. Before incarnating we all choose the lessons we are going to learn and even sometimes the things we will do in life. For example, what if your desire for a professional life in astronomy as to do with a lesson you need to learn in this life time. And what if you didnt learn a lesson or gain an experience you were meant to in this life time? I was also controlled by my parents and their control issues ad to do with wounds they have. They have a need to be loved through feeling needed…well that is ONE of their wounds. And then I have a mirror for then in that I have a need to FEEL loved by peoples actions. We mirror each other and both ave lessons we need to go through and accomplish in this lifetime. When we rise above these things that are causing emotional blocks then we will have learned the leasson and passed the test and will not have to repeat the lesson in the next life time.
Your guides are trying to tell you that you can not let another control your life. What is the reason you feel your mother as this need to secure a good secure future for you? What does it have to do with what she experienced in her life?
You can communicate with your guides and get help through dream messages, symbolism in nature, or simply telling them your question or what you need help with and then just wait and the answer will come if you pay attention. Also you can work on developing your psychic abilities. My book goes in depth with how to do that.
Sherry
Dear Sherry
Thank you very much for putting so much helpful and considered information on your site: it is a lot to take in but I will be visiting you a great deal in the coming weeks I’m sure.
I am a little confused about the difference between empath and clairsentient but that is perhaps because I haven’t found the explanations in your information yet. I feel I might be a little of both and was wondering if you could shed any light on this? I had an intensely frightening and shocking ‘explosion’ of some kind of psychic energy five years ago following a chakra balance to deal with an issue with my sacral chakra, or so I was told. I experienced a bolt of electricity up my spine and then a roaring churning tingling feeling of energy above and below my genitals; the whole area felt engorged as if I was constantly in a state of sexual hyperarousal. The worst was that I woke up the next day and it was as if I could feel all the sexual/feminine energy of women and girls not only around me but from a distance. I would see a woman in the street and experience a kick in the chest as a wave of energy hit me and a corresponding roar of energy in the sacral/root chakra. I have never been attracted to women and am a married mum of two so my reaction was one of horror as I was not on a spiritual path and did not know what had happened. I still don’t.
The roaring as I called it continued on and off for about 4 years. I have cleared enormous amounts of issues from my energy field and have had to set about learning in order to figure out what has happened to me. Things are calmer these days. I do very much however recognise the clairsentient connection: I have always been terribly aware of others emotions snd can feel quite ill in my body when someone has a strong mood, and this is increasing as the days go by. I have been contacted by various beings at night with whom I try to communicate, not very successfully. I experience tickling and prickling on the left side of my neck (the back) also waves of chills. But I never see anything.
If I do have a gift in this area I would like to use it to help people but will need a lot of training to shield myself.
Well, I have provided a lot more information than I had planned and hope that this is ok?
I would love to know anything you can pick up about me which might help me further.
Many thanks
From Christina, UK
Christina,
I actually know from personal experience the feeling you are speaking of. I had an imbalance in my sacral chakra (responsible for clairsentience ability) related to an imbalance with my masculine/feminine energies. Once I worked on it for a while and was more clear…basically a chakra that had a block could then flow energy through it freely and it can then further open and clear and while that is going on you have to remember that you will be feeling energy finally able to flow through and a higher amount the clearer it is.
Your feeling woman…so what was your imbalance? Lack of feminine or masculine energy? You don’t seem like your lacking masculine energy. You come off to me as being pretty confident and secure. So I would say you were probably lacking enough feminine energy. I know that came out sounding a little rude of me to say…google “blocked sacral chakra” and what I said will make more sense.
Also sounds like you may have had a block in one of your other chakras as well. I say that because you didnt say that you felt the energy flow all the way up and out your crown or down and out your feet.
Keep in mind that when you are clairsentient you are able to feel everything and all things that many people do not…especially the clearer certain chakras are.
I recommend getting a piece of citrine crystal to carry in your bra at all times…when you go out at least. The citirine crystal will take in and transmute a lot of what you feel that you really dont need to. Citirine is awesome because since it transmutes negative energy it never needs to be cleaned so it pretty much maintenance free. Citirine is my “Dont leave home without it” crystal. lol.
here’s more info for the sacral chakra…
Exercises for the Sacral Chakra
Chakracise your sacral chakra with pelvic thrusts and circular pelvis movements.
The Goddess Pose
Lie flat on your back and relax. Relax especially the legs, pelvis, and lower back. Bend your knees, bringing your feet in close to your buttocks. Slowly allow your knees to part, allowing the weight of the legs to stretch the inner thighs. Try to relax. Do not push your legs farther than is comfortable. Hold this position for two minutes or more. Then slowly bring your knees together again. This puts us in touch with our sexual vulnerability, which paradoxically must be understood before we can fully open ourselves up on this level.
Pelvic Rock
Starting on your back with legs bent, slowly begin to rock your pelvis upward and downward with each breath. Inhale fully into your chest and belly, exhale fully, and upon the end of each exhale, push slightly with your feet so that your pelvis comes off the ground pushing the small of your back into the floor beneath you.
Hip Circles
From a standing position, bend your knees slightly, and drop your pelvis forward so that it is directly in your central line of gravity. Keeping the knees bent and flexible, rotate the pelvis in smaller then larger circles. The head and feet should remain in the same place while the pelvis alone does the moving. Try to make the movement as smooth as possible.
Leg Lifts
This exercise helps move energy through the pelvis, often into the upper chakras. It is a classic Kundalini exercise, and a wonderful energizer.
Lie on your back and relax. Lift your legs six to 12 inches off the floor and spread them apart at this height. Bring together again and then kick our again. Rest after about five of these. Then bring your legs perpendicular to the floor and spread to each side. Bring together and down. Repeat until tired. Raising legs should be accompanied by an inhale, while lowering the legs should be accompanied by an exhale. This exercise is a strong Kundalini-raiser with powerful results. It is important not to strain and to avoid sore muscles. Stay in tune with the body.
Self Healing Activities:
1. Healing baths to soothe or energize. I’ve owned one house with a wonderful bathtub and I found this to be very therapeutic. In fact I actually set up an altar to Kwan Yin next to my bath. (Her request – still don’t know why but that’s what she told me to do.) In this house we have a hot tub.
2. Take time each day to drink tea ceremonially. There are wonderful books on different types of tea ceremonies for the Japanese, the British or the one you make up yourself. This is especially good way to make sure you get your required daily dose of green tea.>
3. Drink water, water, water. Flush it all out. When I first started working through my BOTA material I was surprised that they also stressed drinking a large amount of water. This one is a tough one for me since left to my own devices I won’t go near the stuff. What does work for me is large quantities of ice tea. Add enough ice and it’s nothing more than brown colored water anyway.
4. Drink solarized water. Don’t know why this seems to work but it’s a great technique when you’re working with color magic. Using either a clear glass and orange colored stones or an orange tinted glass or bottle, place pure water out in the early morning sun. At nightfall drink the water with energy and awareness
Sherry
I think I’m awakening to the fact that I’m an empath. I also have dreams.
Can you sense anything about me?
Sherry,
Yes, and I am feeling that your heart charka is very open as well. Focus on opening and clearing the lower chakras (foot, root, sacral, solar plexus, and heart). Also consider opening and clearing the high heart chakra which is around the clavical area.

Hello Sherry
Many many thanks for your helpful reply – it seems you are spot on.
Since I first posted on your site, I have had a channeling session with a being called Ortan who has filled me in on many of the things I have been so confused about (and so beleaguered by). I definitely agree with your thoughts that I have been or still am lacking in feminine energy.
What I understand has happened is that my heart chakra or energy was activated or opened inadvertently by the healer because I had asked for and received permission for this to happen in a past life. This energy was brought through to me in this life as part of my life plan, but because I had done zero preparation for it in terms of any kind of spiritual development, I had problems coping with the inrush of energy (and boy is that true) as not only were some (as you suggested) or all of the chakras blocked, I didn’t even know what they were…having never heard of chakras and at the time not even a believer in life after death (these days I am a ‘knower’!).
What a mess. I had an inrush or infusion of male energy into a sacral chakra (and all others?) which was full of issues and not open into the bargain.
This is the way I understand it today, altho’ that might change. Even my husband has remarked that over the last few years I have become much more aggressive and overly assertive; for myself I have had a feeling of being very ‘male’ – perhaps you will understand what I mean?
You are right in suggesting blockages above and below in the crown and root. Certainly I’ve never felt anything in my crown area, it feels spectacularly inert. Root I am not sure.
My problem now is I am rather wary of going to anyone to look at my energy fields but at the same time am unable to know for myself as am total novice in this and cannot see or feel them (doh!).
Citrine I will do this for sure; could you tell me something, do you have to keep re-clearing the chakras on a a regular basis? So say my sacral is now clear, would I have to keep trying to do this? I have read that if sacral is blocked or ‘dirty’ that information from guides etc. cannot come through clearly and is ‘choppy’ or piecemeal: would you agree? That is def. my experience as for the last few months I have been contacted by 2 guides who seem to be trying their darndest to get through but I keep losing the frequency, or that is how it feels. Sometimes I hear their words very clearly and quite quickly and other times it is as if their batteries are running down and they are in slowmo!!
Any thoughts you may have would be very much appreciated, also to do with my being an empath or clairsentient or both? I could then go on to benefit further from your site. I am very very impressed with the depth of your knowledge and find it such a relief to have access to sensible information on things spiritual. Thank you again for giving your time to this site.
Yours confused but getting clearer
Christina
Sherry
I forgot to say above that the reason I was given by Ortan for the inrush of MALE energy is that I have had many, many lifetimes as a female and that in terms of the balancing of energies, I had to have a large amount of male energy come in to my field – this energy would always have been difficult to integrate (he told me it takes about 7 years for things to settle down, I have done five!) but that it would have been much easier had I been prepared. For me personally this makes sense.
Cheers
Christina
Christina,
You are holding a lot of masculine energy…you have your work cut out for you to try to bring in also enough feminine energy to balance it. Carnelian crystal is perfect for this. Ask your higher self to attune you to the properties of a carnelian crystal.
You are right…and I am glad that you understand. In a way no one needs to be trying to adjust you…instead just flowing healing energy to you from like Archangel Raphael for example and only acting as a conduit for that energy. You can do that on your own at any time though. Call on AA Raphael…or Mother Mary and ask to be given healing energy.
Yes…when you make a committment to walk this path it is a big responsibility and you do have to work daily clearing chakras, cutting cords, clearing and healing your aura, grounding (so ne energy also has a way out) and protecting. To respect God/creator is to respect you (spirit) and the house (body) you are temporarily occupying. Seems like a lot of work but over time it gets easier and quicker to do even on the fly when your busy.
Sherry
Tyler,
I do rememeber you actually! Ohhhhh I am soooo happy to hear that…that is so awesome. You deserve it. Keep up all the good work cause you are leading by example.
Much love!
Sherry
Thank you Sherry for the advice; I really appreciate it and will start getting myself sorted out.
As you say, I do have my work cut out!
Mother Mary is a great idea as I almost feel like crying at the thought of that lovely soft energy, no wonder really with all that has gone on.
All the best to you
Christina
I accept you and yes it absolutely gonna guide lot of people.
I’ve been told I am an empath by two different people and I was recently told I am clairsentient. (I had to look it up because I didn’t know what it meant!) I’m searching for my career path/life path. Can you help me please?
Many thanks.
