Empath Guide: How to Discern Truthful vs. Deceptive Energy

How to Trust Your Empathic Sensitivity

Author: Conscious Mystic

People can say all the right words and wear all the right expressions, but energy never lies.

As an empath, you have the gift of sensing beyond appearances- you can feel the subtle distortions, incongruities, and unconscious energies a person carries, even if they’re unaware of it themselves.

Not all energies that manifest through human vessels are pure. Some are tricky, deceptive, or simply misaligned. So how do you know if someone is coming from a genuine, truthful place?

Check in with yourself after each interaction:

• Do you feel positive?

• Do you feel open and expanded in your heart and chest space?

• Do you feel seen/heard?

OR

• Do you feel drained, unsettled, or repulsed?

• Is there a heaviness or tension in your body?

• Is there a general sense of icky/yuckiness that lingers?

Many empaths second-guess their feelings, thinking, “Maybe I’m being too judgmental. They seem nice… why do I feel this way?” But your intuition and energetic sensitivity are speaking to you.

The mind can be tricked. The eyes can be deceived. But your body, your intuition, and your energetic field know the truth. Honor what you feel. Your vessel is guiding you, protecting you, and helping you navigate unseen energies. Trust it- it’s saving you from future mishaps.
