Have you ever asked yourself, “What are the signs of an empath spiritual awakening?” Well, today you’re about to find out. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re an empath or, more specifically, an awakened empath, chances are, you’re feeling the subtle pull of something deeper within yourself. Many empaths don’t even realize they are awakening spiritually, and what they think are typical empathic struggles might actually be signs of a profound spiritual shift where you’re experiencing an empath spiritual awakening.
Spiritual Awakening: A Real Possibility for Empaths
As an intuitive empath myself, I can tell you firsthand that spiritual awakening is not only possible for empaths, but it’s often a powerful part of our journey. If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re already experiencing some of the subtle (or not-so-subtle) signs of an awakening, even if you haven’t fully understood what’s happening.
Being an empath means that you’re deeply connected to the emotions and energies of others—and when spiritual awakening starts to unfold, it can feel like a natural extension of this deep sensitivity. But here’s the thing: empath problems often mask themselves as spiritual awakening symptoms, making it hard to differentiate between the two. So, how do you know if you’re truly an awakened empath?

3 Key Signs You’re an Awakened Empath
So here are the three key signs to look out for if you think you might be an awakened empath. But first, I want to ask you this: Are you already having an empath spiritual awakening?? If so, I’d love to hear your personal stories in the comments below—feel free to share your experiences!
1. Heightened Sensitivity: Feeling Energy in a Whole New Way
As an empath, it’s natural to be sensitive, whether it’s to your emotions or the energy of others. But when it comes to an empath spiritual awakening, heightened sensitivity can take on a whole new meaning. You may find that you’re not just feeling your emotions more intensely, but you’re starting to feel the energy around you—perhaps in ways you never noticed before!
For instance, you might experience physical sensations, like warmth or tingling in your hands, or feel energy shifting in your body. These are all signs that you’re tuning into your energy body, which is a core symptom of spiritual awakening. When you begin feeling energy more consciously, it’s often a sign that you’re opening up your higher faculties in your mind (Bob Proctor’s words) and deepening your connection to the energetic world around you.
As an awakened empath, you may be absorbing and sensing not only emotions but also energy patterns, sometimes without even realizing it. If you’re noticing these physical and emotional sensations, it could be a sign that you’re on the path of spiritual awakening. This shift is common in empaths, as the ability to sense energy deepens during awakening.
2. Emotional Overwhelm: The Rollercoaster of An Empath Spiritual Awakening
Being an empath isn’t always easy. You might feel like you’re an emotional sponge, absorbing everyone else’s feelings and energy, which can be overwhelming. I remember a time when I’d ask myself, Why do I feel everyone’s emotions so intensely? Why is it so hard to control this? Those feelings of being an energetic sponge were actually the beginning threads of my Kundalini Awakening.
The emotional overwhelm that an empath spiritual awakening experience can be intense! I’ve felt that too—the up-and-down emotional rollercoaster that comes from not knowing how to manage energy boundaries or how to cope with the emotional intensity that often feels like a rollercoaster. Often, this overwhelm occurs because your energy body is going through rapid shifts, which can leave you feeling overstimulated and emotionally drained. Maybe in the past you’ve had someone tell you “You’re sensitive” or “What does over-stimulated even mean?!” Certain people who aren’t awakening simply won’t get it.
And here’s something crucial to note: emotions and energy are deeply intertwined. As empaths, when we feel emotionally drained, it’s often a direct result of energy depletion. So, if you’re feeling emotionally exhausted, it’s likely that your energy is being drained as well. This is especially true when you’re in the midst of a spiritual awakening because your sensitivity to energy increases, making it harder to understand why you’re feeling the way you do.
You also can experience an empathetic heart chakra opening, where you may be picking up on the emotions and energies of others in a more profound, heart-centered way where you’re connecting with other people’s heart energy. Understanding this can help you realize that what you’re going through isn’t just an empathic struggle—it could be a vital part of your spiritual awakening.
3. Unexplainable Psychic & Paranormal Phenomena
This is where it gets interesting: If you’re starting to experience unexplainable psychic or paranormal phenomena, this could be a major sign that you’re an awakened empath. When you’re going through a spiritual awakening, your mind and energy fields begin to expand, allowing you to tap into higher senses and open yourself up to more subtle forms of perception.
You may notice experiences like seeing visions, hearing things that others don’t, or even encountering odd phenomena like shadows or unexplained noises. These events may feel disorienting or even a little unsettling, but they’re often temporary, common in the early stages of spiritual awakening, and a sign that you’re beginning to open up to your natural intuitive gifts.
As an intuitive empath, you might start seeing the energetic world in ways you hadn’t before—perceiving energy patterns, subtle impressions, or even psychic flashes. These moments can feel overwhelming, but they are often part of the process of awakening your higher intuitive faculties. Embrace these strange and mysterious moments as signs that you’re expanding into a deeper level of higher consciousness.
Conclusion: Are You an Awakened Empath?
If any of these signs—heightened sensitivity, emotional overwhelm, or unexplainable psychic phenomena—resonate with you, it’s very possible you’re experiencing a spiritual awakening or a Kundalini awakening as an empath. You’re not just going through normal empathic struggles; you’re embarking on a profound journey of self-discovery and spiritual expansion.
