Psychic Medium: Unlocking the Gift of Empathy

What Is a Psychic Medium and the Gift of Being Empathic?

A psychic medium is someone who not only connects with spiritual energies but also deeply feels the emotions and energies of those around them. Being empathic means absorbing and understanding other people’s feelings as if they were your own—an extraordinary psychic gift that can manifest in many unique ways.

Have you ever sensed something without being told? Or felt drained in crowded places like airports or malls? Maybe you notice that the emotions of people near you seem to become your own. If so, you might be more than just sensitive—you could be an empath with psychic medium abilities.

Michelle Beltran explores how psychic mediums develop their empathic gifts, how to manage overwhelming emotions, and how to thrive while navigating a busy world as a sensitive individual.


How to Know If You Are a Psychic Medium and an Empath

Are you familiar with these experiences?

  • Feeling the physical pain or illness of others when you are close to them.

  • Rooting for underdogs and feeling compelled to support those who suffer.

  • Having a vivid imagination and a strong creative streak.

  • Being naturally drawn to healing and holistic health methods.

  • Needing quiet, solitude, and deep connections with animals or children to recharge.

  • Friends and family regularly confiding in you, trusting your intuitive advice.

  • Having a free-spirited nature, loving adventure, travel, and freedom.

These traits often point to someone who is a psychic medium and empath. Empaths are natural healers, problem solvers, and intuitive guides—people who absorb the world’s emotional energy and use it to help others.


Developing Your Psychic Medium Abilities as an Empath

If you recognize these signs, the next step is to nurture your psychic development. Here are practical ways to deepen your gift as a psychic medium and empath:

Strengthen Your Third Eye Chakra

The third eye chakra governs psychic abilities like intuition and clairvoyance. To open and expand this energy center:

  • Eat purple and dark blue fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and grapes.

  • Add flavor with hemp seeds or lavender to your meals.

  • Burn incense like vanilla or lavender during meditation or quiet time.

These practices support your natural psychic vision, sharpening your ability to tune into subtle energies.


Create a Psychic Protection Tool: The Protection Rose

As a psychic medium, maintaining energetic boundaries is vital. The Protection Rose is a visualization tool that helps filter out unwanted energies:

  • Imagine a radiant rose surrounding your aura, absorbing negative or foreign energies.

  • Use it during meditation, spiritual work, or any time you feel overwhelmed.

This tool keeps your energy field clear and protects your sensitive empath nature, allowing you to focus on your gifts without outside interference.


Stay Centered: Be in the Center of Your Head

One common challenge for psychic mediums is getting lost in external chaos and other people’s emotions. To combat this:

  • Focus your awareness on the center of your head, the spiritual seat of your consciousness.

  • Visualize a small version of yourself here, your personal sanctuary.

  • Clear this space of any unwanted energies by sending them away through your grounding cord.

This practice helps you reclaim your energy, promoting clarity, peace, and balanced psychic perception.


Root Chakra Support for Psychic Mediums and Empaths

Grounding is essential for maintaining stability. Your root chakra connects you to the earth, keeping you balanced amidst emotional intensity.

To strengthen it:

  • Smudge your home and yourself regularly with sage.

  • Walk barefoot on natural ground or practice yoga and dance.

  • Eat root vegetables like carrots, onions, and garlic.

  • Engage in daily physical activity to stay present and connected.

A strong root chakra prevents psychic overload and helps you stay grounded in the present moment.


Enhance Your Throat Chakra for Clear Psychic Communication

Communication is a core skill for psychic mediums, especially empaths who must express boundaries and truths clearly.

  • Use your throat chakra by practicing singing, chanting, or speaking your feelings.

  • Stay hydrated and eat water-rich fruits like peaches and apricots.

  • Practice saying “no” gracefully to protect your energy.

This chakra empowers you to share your insights confidently and maintain healthy relationships.


Coping Strategies for Psychic Mediums and Empaths

Managing overwhelming emotions and psychic input is critical to thriving as an empath and psychic medium. Here are some tips:

  • Set energetic boundaries: Use visualization tools like the Protection Rose to keep your space clear.

  • Practice grounding daily: Engage in activities that connect you with the earth and your body.

  • Meditate on your third eye: Regular meditation helps sharpen your intuitive awareness.

  • Create quiet time: Dedicate moments in your day for solitude and reflection to recharge.

  • Acknowledge emotions as data: Learn to see feelings and physical sensations as information—not personal burdens.

These practices help you manage your gift responsibly, allowing your psychic medium abilities to flourish.


What’s Next in Your Psychic Medium Journey?

Developing your empathic and psychic medium gifts is a lifelong journey. Embracing your sensitivity while learning to control and refine your abilities is essential. Remember, your gifts are tools to serve and heal, so take time to nurture them with care.

If you want to dive deeper into psychic development, consider listening to Michelle Beltran’s podcast, The Intuitive Hour: Awaken Your Inner Voice. It’s filled with wisdom and practical advice tailored to intuitive seekers like you.


Final Thoughts on Being a Psychic Medium and Empath

Being a psychic medium means living with heightened sensitivity to energies and emotions around you. This extraordinary gift offers profound insight and connection but requires mindful management.

By strengthening your chakras, protecting your energy, and practicing clear communication, you can transform your empathic experiences into powerful psychic gifts.

For ongoing guidance, explore spiritual tools, grounding techniques, and connect with like-minded communities who understand your journey. The path of a psychic medium is as rewarding as it is transformative.

    Everything you say about being an empath fits me to a t. I worked for veterinarian and saved many animals that others would have let die, I was a caregiver and now I use essential oils to help people and just became a massage therapist. My problem now is I’m touching alot of people and I tend to feel sick to my stomach after some massages and I’m completely drained emotional and physically at the end of the day. I love what I do but have nothing left for me. How do I stop this and still be good at what I do?

    • Hi Lisa, It’s good to hear from you and thank you for your question! Please have a listen to the Intuitive Hour: Awaken Your Inner Voice, at iTunes. There are a number of tools in various episode there to support you in finding harmony and balance energetically and emotionally as you work with others. Grounding, Running Energy, Prayer of Protection, and Protection Roses are few I would recommend. The fist step begins though with setting an intention that only your pure, positive, highest essence is allowed in your space. Your subconscious and any other energy you work with must listen to this intention you set. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Warmly, Medium Michelle

    I have been able to pick up on people’s emotions all my life…..I can pick up on animals emotions and feel guilty if I step on a bug.. I have always attracted men in my life who take advantage of me…Strangers in a ladies bathroom will tell me all their secrets. I hate crowded places because of all the emotions going on….I have become ill, constant vertigo that doesn’t go away and am living at home….My mother has dementia and screams all the time…..My niece is manic and screams all the time…..I am having a hard time dealing with all this emotion…I think I may be an empath and have thought this is why I attract all this. How can I learn to deal with all the noise..

  • Réjean says:

    I have been inclined towards holistic, psychics, etc. Most of my life. Not thinking much of it then I have over the years got to know myself and in the last few years I have really been discovering my own divinity within myself. So much so that I have followed a course to provide the Rebirth treatment which has been an eye opener for me. Since then a lot of things presented itself to develop this further naturally. Upon speaking with a psychic last year. She mentioned that I have discovered my gift, which is empath healer.
    It is an exciting journey and I am glad that I came across your path which I know it is not a coincidence. I am confident that I will learn a lot from your teaching.
    From the bottom of my heart ????
    Thank you ???????? god bless you!

  • Amy says:

    Ever since I was a teen Id have dreams of places ive never been to and later on I would end up at that place. Also I would say something, or think of a song or a commercial then seconds after that it would come on, this Ive also experience when I was a teen till now, its even more like everyday. After my daughter was born I became an empath, I can even feel pain when its on TV, I get this chill and cringe my teeth when ever I see someone hurt. I usually know things that happen before they do. Ive also lived in many houses thats haunted through my teen years till now. Like now the house I live in I think my cat that died a year ago has came back as i seen and feel many signs and sometimes my other two cats act strangely. And now that everything that is going on now days and Ive lost my job and I have to homeschool my grandkids and with things not being normal, I get itchy all over especially my head I just want to scratch at it all the time, I keep myself clean I know I dont have lice, so Im thinking its just my nerves, why am I so much sensitive now. It seems it just gets stronger and stronger as the days go on.

    Hello Michelle
    So I feel like I recently discovered being a empath… well not actually. I feel like I have had this all my life but pushed it out or ignored it. Since I am thinking about it I honestly feel like my empathy is normal it’s just a part of me.
    There are certain people that I feel are open and have positive energy or a easy read others not so much. And some particularly family members I can’t even block. I can be overwhelmed by the feelings and I have a hard time being honest because I don’t want to hurt there feelings ( honesty can do that) I don’t like to feel closed so things can be very confusing. And sometimes I think I may be going crazy.
    I would go as far to say I can feel anxiety and sadness in people much easier than positive things or at least I notice it much clearer and right now I feel surrounded by it.
    Is there any way to communicate with someone to ease there pain without talking to them? I have tried to just think positive thoughts for them and it doesn’t seem to work.
    I feel like I can feel others pain from far away especially family. And when they are on the wrong path I get frustrated and want to explain but I know they don’t want to hear it.
    It’s hard to explain
    Thanks again
    Best
    Steve

    • Hi Steve, At my podcase, The Intuitive Hour, you’ll find episodes on the fundamental tools of psychic development: Grounding, Running Energy, Neutrality, Protection Rose and Protection Prayer. All of these are essential for an empath, and especially for an empath. As you employ these tools, you’ll begin to regain a feeling of control and no longer inundated with the emotions of others. Warmly, Michelle
