What Is A Soulmate Connection?

In order to understand what is a soulmate connection, we should first get clear on the definition of the word soul.

The soul can be regarded as the non-physical and more mystical energy that powers all of nature, our creations, and our interactions.

The word soul can also be used to describe the emotional energy and passion present within an artwork, performance, project, relationship, or interaction.

A soulmate connection is a relationship with a special person or a few people throughout our lives that often takes place in a deeply spiritual and beautifully orchestrated way.

These connections can have a positive impact on our lives and our growth as spirits having a human experience.

How To Recognize A Soulmate Connection? The 6 Signs & Symptoms

There are some signs that can generally assist you with recognizing a soulmate connection, and the first sign is by far the most telling:

1. Trusting your intuition

Intuition can be understood as a knowing, thought, or insight that is without conscious reasoning.

Intuition can be considered as a higher sense of perception, and when you intuitively know someone is your soulmate you won’t have to go through much logical thought process to reach this knowing. 

Intuition is not guessing or assuming, but it is a deep knowing that arises from tapping into your natural intuitive abilities.

2. You relate differently to this person than you do to most people

When you have a soulmate connection with someone it is likely that your connection will feel strong and unique in comparison to any other connection you have experienced.

This is because each soulmate we encounter has a unique role to play in our lives. 

You will find that you open up to this person a lot quicker or on a deeper level than you would ordinarily.

You may feel more comfortable expressing certain parts of yourself that you don’t usually share with others.

3. You may have met through synchronicity

Soulmate connections are a deeply spiritual bond, and when this connection manifests on a physical level it can radiate spiritual and almost magical energy.

Synchronicity can be most simply defined as the experience of meaningful coincidences, and it is usually a sign that you are in a flow state or moving through life along a path that is aligned with your spiritual journey, your experience of expansion as a human spiritual being. 

You will likely experience an increase in synchronicity and a series of synchronicities leading up to your first meeting and during your time together with your soulmate.

Synchronicity may lead you to each other, and you may experience an endlessly creative and magical series of synchronicities when you are together, including but not limited to things like seeing specific angel numbers or symbols and hearing specific songs or keywords.

There is actually a term that refers to this experience which is soulmate synchronicity.

4. You may feel more energized or have a surge of excitement 

Experiencing a soulmate connection with someone can be a truly exciting time.

When your souls find each other and are able to express, create, learn and play together in this lifetime, it can encourage your flow of energy to strengthen, especially when you are fulfilling your purpose together.

When you feel energized and excited about life and notice your soulmate is also in this higher vibrational state with you then it is extremely likely you have met one of your soulmate connections.

5. You have similar goals and intentions

Although you are unique individuals in many ways, you and your soulmate likely share similar goals and intentions, especially around the time in life that you meet each other.

You will quickly find what you have in common and boost each other’s progress or work together towards shared visions and goals. 

As some soulmate connections accompany us physically throughout life and some soulmates are with us for just a season or two, we may notice our shared interests with a soulmate span the time that is spent together most intently.

Sometimes our shared vision is the divinely decided purpose of the connection, and once we have completed the mission together, we move on to another focus or experience.

It may also be that we dream and create together with our soulmate for a lifetime, together till the end of our experience as human beings.

6. You are deeply connected but not attached to each other

Another sign that you have met a soulmate would be that although your connection is deep, you are not usually codependent or physically attached to each other.

When you meet a soulmate, you come together as two content individuals that share deeply in life experiences together.

If you find that you do fall into an unhealthy attachment with someone you consider a soulmate, this could mean that dealing with this and rebalancing is part of your lesson to learn from the connection.

In the next section of the article, we will explore how to connect with your soulmate, and this will bring more clarity to this point. 

When you experience a soulmate connection, you may share deep love, affection, and enjoyment.

You will also be quite present to the connection and not focused on how long you will be together or on possessing each other.

Even when you are physically apart or complete a season with a certain soulmate, you won’t be in a state of intense attachment.

You may have a period of heavy emotions while you integrate, but you will easily return to your sovereignty and individual power. Soulmate connection can transcend physicality and conventional relational ideals.

When you get in touch with your spirit or soul from an individual perspective this will allow you to be energetically open and ready to perceive your soulmate connection.
