Are you a Heyoka Empath? Take the Test and Learn Traits
Are you a heyoka empath? This is a special type of empath in which you are designed by the Universe to be a healer who balances the energy of those around you by carrying the counter-polarity energy (opposite). You can Take the heyoka test and quiz to learn if you are a heyoka empath.
Heyoka empaths usually have inclinations to do things backwards to the rest of society. You are born to be DIFFERENT and are often the contrarian. You likely love to laugh and laugh at silly and ridiculous things.
You are the wise fool, the sacred clown, the trickster type energy. You may be inclined to read books backwards, or to make many u-turns in your driving, or to move in ways that are opposite of others. You may have had a breech birth. Usually heyoka people are born into families where you 'break the mold' and that is to promote karmic healing and breaking of patterns.
On a consistent basis, you feel the OPPOSITE of what other people are feeling. Thus, if most of the people around you are feeling happy or joyful, you may be, at times, carrying the counter-polarity by feeling and processing and holding the 'shadow' vibration. This is dictated by the Divine - and the energy is actually being filtered and transmuted through you. This is always TEMPORARY and will last usually a short amount of time. Or, sometimes when others are sad and feeling low, you feel uplifted, inspired, happy and can bring your humor to make people feel better.
Being a heyoka empath carries a big responsibility. You need to learn to stay balanced because you are transmuting energy all the time. The Divine uses you as a sacred vessel. You must learn about how to properly set boundaries with both humans AND also with Spirit. Finding a spiritual mentor would be a very good idea so that you don't get drained or overwhelmed or absorb so much.
