If you've ever had an outburst of emotions that seems to come out of nowhere and doesn't align with your current situation, it could be because you're spiritually gifted. We throw the word "Empath" around a lot these days, but if you have a spiritual gift, other people could be channeling their emotions through you.

2. You often feel pressure around your third eye

When you feel pressure in between your eyebrows, spiritual experts say that people attuned with their gifts can receive messages when this pressure is present. Some may even be able to see other people's chakra colors at this time. You can learn spiritual exercises to help you open and close this third eye at will.

3. Crowds make you feel uneasy

One of the biggest giveaways that you're spiritually gifted is finding yourself overly sensitive to an environment. If you have a sensitive energy, crowds are overwhelming, because there are too many energy forces present. This can cause you to feel a range of emotions.

4. Spiritually gifted people are sensitive to taste and smell

Spiritual experts say that people who are aligned with their spirit self have a good sense of taste and smell. This is because your senses are heightened to tune into physical entities around you. If you often find yourself picking up on scents that others aren't, try to tape into what Spirit is saying to you.

5. Animals are drawn to you

Who doesn't love when you enter a room and the family dog singles you out? Or perhaps you're out and a dog comes to give you a greeting, to which the owner insists he doesn't normally do that. Animals are more sensitive to energies than we are, so they're picking up on your vibe as well!

6. You regularly see visions

A vision is a little different than daydreaming. While it's easy for our minds to wander off, a vision is a dream that randomly flashes into your head. It could be something like envisioning an accident. If you have one of these visions, it could be your Spirit Guide trying to protect you or your loved ones.

7. Meditation restores your energy

Even just being interested in meditation is a huge sign that you're in tune with your spirit self. If you're drawn to this practice and find that it comes easily to you, don't stop! Meditation allows you to connect with mind-enhancing activities that help you access a higher plane.

8. You can feel a presence touching you

Image Source: Reddit

When you're in a room by yourself and you can distinctly feel a presence touching your arm, hair, etc. it's a HUGE sign that you're spiritually gifted. Even if you feel an entity brush past you when no one is there, it means that your chakra is open to the spirit world. Will you be open to their message?

9. You've experienced night terrors

Ugh, these are hard to experience. It's said that kids get them most because of irrational fears, but experts believe it's because they're more attuned to the spirit world. If you're spiritually gifted, you've likely experienced them as an adult as well. Try to not get too freaked out. It's just another way of spirits communicating, even if that means having to wake you up in a panic to get your attention.

10. Lucid dreams are common for you too

These dreams are different than vivid dreams or night terrors. Lucid dreams are when the dreamer is aware that they're dreaming, but you can't quite wake yourself up. These are also known as astral projections, and they're often described as an out-of-body experience. Have you had lucid dreams?

11. Who needs a weatherman if you're spiritually gifted?

Image Source: Reddit

This may sound crazy, but spiritual experts agree that if you are truly gifted, you have likely on more than one occasion predicted the weather. Wild right? For example, if the forecast calls for sunshine and you have a sneaking suspicion that it might rain, and then it does. This is because your spirit self is aligned with the universe.

12. Dreams come true for you

Image Source: Reddit

Dreams and the spirit world are incredibly linked. Whether it be lucid dreams, night terrors or vivid visions. That said, if you're spiritual, beyond just having these dreams, you'll realize they're often premonitions for things that happen in your real life. It could be as simple as dreaming you'll run into someone, and then shortly after, you cross paths with that person in your life.

13. You have a strong connection with nature

Image Source: Reddit

If you find yourself feeling drained in the city and needing to escape to the mountains or a small town or a forest to recharge, then you might be a spiritually gifted person! Similar to crowds, cities do not allow you to be the best version of yourself. You need to connect with nature to glean from its energy and feel rejuvenated.

14. You can literally feel someone else's pain

Image Source: Reddit 

We've talked about people channeling emotions through someone who's spiritually gifted. It can go even beyond that to where you suffer physical pain or sensations alongside someone else who is actually experiencing it. This is one of the biggest signs that you're spiritually attuned.

15. People ask you for advice... a LOT

Others may not be able to pinpoint it, but if you're the glue of your friend group, the one who acts as group therapist, then you're probably a bit woo woo! People know when someone is able to act as a spiritual guide, and they're drawn to you for direction and advice.

16. You often find yourself awake during Spirit Hour

Image Source: Reddit

It's long been believed that the most spiritual activity happens between the hours of 3am and 4am. That's because the veil between the spiritual world and the natural world is the thinnest at this time. If you wake up during the Spirit Hour, pay attention, because there may be a message trying to come through for you.

17. The moon cycle changes your energy

Because you're in touch with your higher self, you can feel the affects of the moon's cycle. Whether it be a New Moon or Full Moon, you may feel more powerful, because this is when the moon is most powerful. This is a time to tap into new power and gifts, allowing the moon's magic to restore you.

18. Discernment is something that comes easily to you

People with high discernment can observe things present that others can't. It could mean detecting an evil presence or simply getting a good read on someone's character. If you want, with time and practice, you can learn to channel the spiritual world with ease. This will allow your third eye to rest when needed.

19. Nothing is coincidence

Image Source: Reddit

We all know that death comes in threes. This is true of many things in life, and they're known as synchronicities. As a spiritual person, you're likely more aware of these patterns, and you're highly sensitive to repeating numbers appearing around you. Spirit may be trying to reach out to you.

20. Death isn't scary for you

Image Source: Reddit

Many people are afraid of dying. According to studies, this is less true if you consider yourself a spiritual person. It's believed that this is because spiritual people are aware of the higher vibrations connecting them to the Universe, and to something beyond themselves.

21. Negative energies really affect you

Image Source: Reddit

When you walk into a room and immediately feel like something isn't right, pay attention! It's Spirit trying to tap into your ability to sense. As a spiritual person, you're able to sense spiritual vibrations immediately in every situation. It's likely that whatever your gut is telling you will later be affirmed.

22. Isolation is important to you

While others are drawn to you, you may often find yourself feeling the need to retreat. This is two-fold in that you may often feel misunderstood by those around you, and you likely feel like you need to recharge. Your way of viewing the world is very different to those around you, so be sure to take time for yourself!

23. Temperature variations are super noticeable

Image Source: Reddit

As a spiritual person, you're probably very sensitive to changes in temperature, especially when not due to the actual weather or thermostat adjustment. If you're in a room and it suddenly feels chilly but no one else seems to notice, it's probably because you're sensing an entity that's present.

24. You have super vivid and strange dreams

Image Source: Reddit

We all know that everyone dreams, even if you can't remember them. But if you consistently have very vivid dreams, it's highly possible that the spirit world is connecting with you. According to experts, you're the most vulnerable when you're asleep, so spirits find it easier to communicate with you when you're sleeping.

25. You're mindful of the way you speak

Image Source: Reddit

Generally speaking, those who are spiritual tend to speak in a certain way. This is because they believe that their words are powerful and can speak life or death into existence. You probably often use words like "I feel" rather than "I think" because you can feel the vibrations of Spirit coursing through you.

26. Your friends don't understand you all the time

Image Source: Reddit

Because you're operating at a higher dimension, you're picking up on things that those around you are not. Perhaps you are able to correctly assume how someone is acting or feeling when no one else did. This is Spirit's way of communicating with you because you are tapped into your intuition.

27. You're attuned to the Universe's vibrations

Image Source: Reddit

If you've ever experienced a tingling sensation when you or someone you care about receives good news, or perhaps been overtaken with joy, this simply means that you're in tune with the Universe and those around you. It is Spirit communicating with you and letting you know you're on the right path.

28. The environment changes with your emotions

Image Source: Reddit

Have you ever experienced a situation where your emotions literally change your physical space? If so, then you are spiritually gifted. Your emotions can act as a trigger, so if you notice physical manifestations such as change in weather, then it's likely due to your gift.

29. Your spiritual health and physical health align

Image Source: Reddit 

When you're spiritually gifted, it also means you're more in touch with your physical self. For this reason, you may know that something is wrong with your body way before any medical professional does. It's said that those aligned with Spirit have known months in advance that something was off with their body!

30. You're very attuned to guiding voices

Image Source: Reddit 

These voices may not come to you audibly. But if you've ever had a passing thought about a situation you're in and the outcome, or if you've asked someone a question and seem to know the answer before they speak, it could be because your mind and your heart are open and listening to the spirit guides around you.
