Are you looking to forge a deeper, richer connection with someone? Did you meet someone and you could have sworn you knew them from somewhere? It’s probably your past-life soulmate. The thing is, though, there are different types of soulmates we’ll meet and connect with in our life here on earth or even beyond. But, you must know how to recognize a soulmate or a soul lover.
To do so, this article will help you define a soulmate, learn and distinguish 12 different types of soulmates for one soul’s journey, and understand their role in our lives.
What is a soulmate?
A soul mate is someone we meet in this life that ignites a deep, extraordinary connection. They often teach us things about life, love, and everything in between. He or she is someone with whom you share immense compatibility, and they can transcend much more than romantic love. Your best friend, mentor, or professional partner may be your soulmate.
Breaking the connection requires severing all talk with the person and working on yourself. Whether challenging or joyful, soul-level connections are paramount as they have merit, bring gifts, and are spiritually and mentally transformative. When you meet a soulmate, you’ll feel it with every nerve. Otherwise, seek the help of a psychic to explore the concept of soul searching.
Types of soul mates
- Soul partners - A soul partner makes you feel supported, connected and understood. They are usually not romantic and help you with self-actualization. As any psychic expert would tell you, these souls are placed on our journey to open doors of opportunities.
- Soul ties - Soul ties are often romantic and very intense. Most importantly, they carry a specific and mutual lesson, and the connection will last until the lesson is retrieved. They can be predestined, or we can create our own.
- Past-life soul mates - Encountering a past-life soul mate is like a deja vu. You'll feel an emotional and energetic soulmate connection. However, it doesn’t mean you need to be together; they could be on their journey to become old souls. Use your discernment or a psychic expert to figure out their role in this life.
- Karmic soul mates - A karmic soulmate is a wrecking ball, though your skills complement one another. These connections are filled with intense passion, and their presence can teach us life lessons and heal past traumas.
- Romantic soulmates - Such soulmates give you a great sense of peace and security. Romantic soulmates make us feel safe to be ourselves, confident, and a bit vulnerable. These relationships feel easy and natural and most likely lead to marriage.
- Twin flames - A twin flame is a replica of yourself. They mirror your strengths and weaknesses, including the parts of you that you love and those that you shy away from. Such souls inspire growth and help us discover our mission in life.
- Companion soul mates, aka soul mate friends - These are our best friends. I consider mine the peanut butter to my jelly. Companion soulmates help us laugh when we’re in pain, care when we’re suffering, challenge us to be real, and never abandon us in anger.
- Soul families and soul groups - A soul family is a large group of souls linked in the spiritual realm. They could be actual family members in real life or an online family that works toward a common goal, like environmentalists or spiritual seekers spreading love.
- Kindred spirits - As the name suggests, these souls are kind. They truly understand you, love the same things and share the same spiritual perspective. Sadly, they are brief connections that keep us inspired and awakened.
- Soul contracts - Such soulmates appear in our lives for a common commitment, like a mentor-mentee relationship or investor-entrepreneur relationship. It’s a soul agreement that can be negotiated when it feels toxic.
- Soul teachers - A soul teacher can be a mentor, tarot healer, or college professor who appears in your life to guide you. They instill sovereign thinking and encourage us to follow a path that aligns with our life’s purpose.
- Soul crossings - Soul crossings might feel divine, but they happen briefly. The soul connection is usually deep and intimate, but the timing and circumstances don’t allow for a long-term relationship. Regardless, you share amazing experiences and awakenings.
How to Recognize Your Soulmate
Mostly, these connections happen naturally. The feeling is usually indescribable, but the definitions above will help you establish the authenticity of a soulmate connection. The connection would be romantic or platonic, but it should bring us a sense of comfort, familiarity, and healing. A sense of calm and storm is a good sign you’ve met your soulmate.
Somehow, you’ll let loose, and the feeling is contagious as you want to spend more time together. Your self-confidence increases. Additionally, you’ll want to genuinely support their family, career aspirations, and ventures outside the relationship. If it’s an intimate connection, the sexual chemistry will intensify. Else, look for a pyschic reader to recognize your soulmate.
The Role of Each Type of Soulmate in Personal Growth
Not all soulmate relationships will last forever, yet each relationship, whether platonic or romantic, is meant to teach us a profound lesson. By applying these lessons in our daily lives, we create loving and lasting relationships. Otherwise, we are doomed to repeat damaging patterns unless we use practical tips and insights from our favorite tarot readers.
These shifts are always lovingly challenging and enlightening, filled with the energy of teacher-student interactions. Both parties can play each role and often do, and that is the beauty. The sharing of life lessons and love is intentional and present. Plus, each one knows they have come together to learn and expand as the conscious desire to grow alleviates the difficulties.
Conclusion
As discussed, we may encounter different types of soulmates, each carrying their own valuable lesson. The purpose of different types of spiritual connections is to challenge us to grow and help each of our partners reach their potential. Single or married, we are created to be whole, and it is by acknowledging soul-mate connections that we create wholeness and attract a fulfilling soulmate relationship.
