You need
to accept this fact because it is a fact. It is reality. Though not everyone in
your life will be temporary. Some may stay with you a life time. If everything
in this world is temporary, what is life worth living for? Soul-based
relationships are a lot more complex, nuanced, and multi-layered than that. We
don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason.
The
charge that we sense when we encounter these people is a sign that we have a
soul agreement with them.You’re being drawn to a certain person for a reason
and purpose, and it’s essential to notice the signs. The most common
misconception is that soul connections are only romantic in nature.
These
relationships are rare and hard to come by, but you can increase your chances
of having more positive and enriching soul connections in your life by going
where they are. Spend more time in places, organizations, and institutions
where you will find people with similar values, interests, and philosophies. If
you’re an artist at heart, go to artistic events such as exhibitions and galleries.
If you’re someone who loves sports, go to more sporting events and health
clubs.
While
seeking out your kindred spirits, keep these four signs in mind while looking
for those true soul connections:
1. They
change you (and your life) on a profound level: As you interact with a soul
connection, you’ll gradually sense that there’s something about you that will
never be the same. You can feel a significant shift in your inner landscape
which often reflects in your outer circumstances. The energy exchange that you
have with a soul connection, be it professionally, socially, or romantically,
reconfigures the existing coordinates which you’ve known. They might do this
consciously or unconsciously, directly or subtly, through their actions, words,
or just their presence. The nature of these ‘soul-appointments’ could vary from
the person that you end up marrying and having children with, to a passing
encounter with someone you meet at a seminar or a conference who offered you
some life-changing advice.
2. They
make you aware of the things you love (or hate) about yourself: The individuals
with whom you have a soul connection will always mirror back your own
qualities. In her book, Eat Pray Love, writer Elizabeth Gilbert writes, “a true
soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they
tear down your walls and smack you awake. Soul mates, they come into your life
just to reveal another layer of yourself to you.” That’s why it’s so easy to
get triggered by their actions and words because they can make you aware of the
shadow traits within yourself, something you may not like to be reminded of. If
you could manage your emotions, you can tap into the revelations that you have
from these encounters to grow, and heal. On the other hand, if you admire
certain things about them, you can pat yourself on the back because you most
definitely have those qualities, or it’s something you’re aspiring to.
3. You
feel connected to them on an energetic level: The bond that you share with a
soul connection feels exceptionally strong. Even if they are not around in your
surroundings, you often think about them and wonder how they are doing. No
matter what you do, you can’t eliminate the energetic ties that link the two of
you on the cosmic plane. It’s not uncommon for soul connected individuals to
have a telepathic connection, even at a distance. By staying connected to them,
you stay in touch with the energies that they infuse into your life and the
lessons that they teach.
4. You
know that you won’t forget them: We meet so many people over the course of our
lifetimes. Memories will fade over time, but soul connections cannot be easily
forgotten. The imprints that they leave on your soul cannot be erased. While
growing up, my father would often tell us stories about the man who gave him
his first break when he was in his 20’s, even though there were other
candidates better qualified than him. His boss-to-be could see my father’s
potential and willingly took him under his wing, teaching him the ropes of the
banking industry. My dad, now in his mid-70’s, still remembers this man with
affection, gratitude, and deep respect.
When it
comes to soul connections there are no limits – age, nationality, culture,
race, profession, and status are simply irrelevant because these connections
pierce through the facade of our constructed identity. By expanding your
awareness, and opening yourself up to these destined connections, you have the
opportunity to experience the true nature of universal love, and reach a state
of wholeness and wisdom.
But
certainly, when it comes to intimate relationships, hope for long term but be
prepared for short-term.
