People think a soul mate is your<br />

perfect fit, and that’s what everyone<br />

wants. But a true soul mate is a<br />

mirror, the person who shows you<br />

everything that is holding you back,<br />

the person who awakens you and<br />

brings you to your own attention so<br />

you can change your life.<br />

ELIZABETH GILBERT<br />

These days, do people even really believe<br />

in true love or Soulmates? In a world<br />

that is fast paced, driven busy and full of<br />

technology is there time to even think<br />

about a bit of romance let alone the person<br />

who may be destined for you and why.<br />

With Valentine’s Day upon us, it is just a commercial<br />

event with little meaning or would we secretly love<br />

to believe in love and that it’s possible to have a true<br />

soulmate? And how do you know if you’ve met your<br />

soul mate?<br />

inexplicable familiarity<br />

Have you ever met someone and had the feeling that<br />

you’ve known them before? Not always in a “your<br />

face looks familiar” kind of way, although it can be<br />

like that, but rather felt an inexplicable familiarity<br />

when you look into that person’s eyes? You just feel<br />

it in your bones that this is someone who has been<br />

and will be important to you.<br />

Some believe that in previous lives we make<br />

agreements with other souls and agree to learn<br />

certain lessons from each other.<br />

deep soul connection<br />

We may establish a soul agreement with someone<br />

in order to awaken a particular facet of our soul that<br />

up to that point in time had lain dormant. Perhaps<br />

you’ve shared many lives with this person, or just<br />

one.<br />

If you have a particularly deep soul connection,<br />

there will be a “freeze-frame” memory of the first<br />

moment you met that person. In other words, as<br />

we later reflect back upon the first time we met<br />

valentines<br />

a particular person, we have a clear picture in our<br />

mind of all of the circumstances of that moment<br />

when that person first entered our lives.<br />

● There is a powerful feeling that you have known<br />

each other before<br />

● You felt an instant connection for each other<br />

● Words can’t describe the feelings you share<br />

together<br />

● Time and space lose meaning when you look<br />

into this person’s eyes<br />

● It is intoxicating and sometimes full of drama<br />

● Both of you know without a doubt you were<br />

brought together for a reason<br />

● The relationship has a deep sense of purpose<br />

● You have a timeless bond even when you are<br />

apart<br />

● You see yourself in the other person<br />

Soul mate relationships, while wonderful, are almost<br />

never pain-free. These people are in our lives to<br />

help us grow and as a result, they often challenge us<br />

more than others. They will impact you on a deeply<br />

emotional level.<br />

Challenging but never boring<br />

Soulmates give you a chance to see yourself more<br />

clearly and teach you something. So when you find<br />

them, it’s not always easy with jumping on clouds<br />

and smiling as you gaze into each other’s eyes for<br />

hours -though there is some of that!<br />

Lots of personal growth takes place when you<br />

find your soulmate which can be challenging but<br />

certainly never boring.<br />
