Pronounced "hey-OH-kah,"Heyoka is a Lakota word meaning “fool” or “sacred clown” because of their ability to create healing from humor.
Lakotas are Native Americans originating from the Great Plains.
Heyokas are the most powerful types of empaths that open people’s minds to new perspectives by acting as a mirror and poking satirical fun at the situation.
Making light of serious circumstances allows people to see themselves in a different way and begin to heal rather than be stuck in a wallowing point of view.
Do not be mistaken: heyokas do not ridicule or harm with their humor — they are still empaths and their perception of people’s emotions doesn’t let them cross the line into being offensive.
Rather, they disrupt lines of thinking that do not benefit the people they are trying to help.
