soulmates-101 
By Michelle Beltran
There is a pervasive misconception that we have one soul mate. In reality, we will have many soul mates in our life time. In addition, we will many kinds of soul mates along our journey.  Some soul mate connections are in our human experience briefly while others are in place for most or all of our lives. Some are in depth and rich while others are seemingly simple or meaningless. They all matter and have value. There is never and encounter we were not meant to have be it short, long, in depth or seeming surface and simple. Soul mates assist us in shaping our own soul growth and we made an agreement before we arrived on Earth to live out these life experiences together.

Three types of soul mates

Twin Flames – Twin Flames are the other part or half of your soul. In most cases, your twin flame is not actually living and they do not experience human life at the same time that you are. Rather, they are on the Other Side, guiding and caring for you from there. In some cases, this soul mate may indeed incarnate with you. When this happens, you will know this soul mate because there is incredible chemistry and it is highly charged. If you are apart from this person, there is very deep longing for them. This person is not necessarily always good match for you, as one might think. This is because the similarity is that immense – it makes for a chaotic relationship as the two of you are so alike. In addition, they generally reflect everything about yourself that you don’t like. To be compatible with this person, each must be very comfortable and at peace with their own higher truest self.

Companion Soul Mates – Companion soul mates can also be called Kindred Spirits or Teacher Soul Mates. These are those people who come into your life for a particular reason and duration.  They may be friends, teachers or mentor who have presented at particularly challenging times in your life and/or at a time when you may pursuing a very important goal. Theses soul mates are voices of encouragement and support. This soul mate could even be the person who helps when your car breaks down.

Twin Souls – Twin souls are those people we share a close friendship with and we feel very comfortable and relaxed with. You have many prior lives with this person and you will likely live many again with them. With this person, you will recognize that open and natural relationship. This soul mate connection is quite similar to the Companion Soul Mate, however the difference is the bond is stronger and longer. This relationship is often a close friend or family member. There is often highly spiritual or even telepathic connection with this person and you may at times feel you don’t even need to use words to communicate with them. You might also find that your life experiences parallel one another.

How do I find my soul mate?
Stay in tune and aligned with your spiritual and higher self. The best way to do this is through some kind of quiet time and in a place of thoughtlessness, commonly call meditation. It is not necessary to go searching for your soul mate as these uniquely powerful connections present effortlessly at the perfect time. There is nothing you need do.
