A soulmate is a person with mutual beliefs and opinions who completely understands us and is perfectly fitted for a loving relationship. Ah, soulmates. The epitome of love and partnership. In our fast-paced chaotic world, which boasts all sorts of different people, we find ourselves skimming through more relationships than we’d like in order to find that one person who can truly open our locks.
Not just anyone can fulfil you the way your soulmate can. There’s a world of difference between your soulmate, your heart’s other half and a life partner — a person who lacks the elements to mould perfectly to you. Your soulmate makes you feel entirely whole, healed and intact, like no piece is missing from the puzzle. A life partner, on the other hand, can be a great supporter and long-time companion, but is limited in his or her capacity to enrich your spirit.
The 10 Elements of a Soulmate:
1. It’s something inside
Describing how a soulmate makes you feel is difficult. It’s a tenacious, profound and lingering emotion which no words can encompass.
2. Flashbacks
If your partner is your soulmate, chances are he or she has been present in your past lives. Soulmates often choose to come back together during the same lifetime and scope each other out in the big world. You might suddenly and briefly experience flashbacks of your soulmate. You might even feel an odd sense of déjà vu, as if the moment in time has already taken place, perhaps a long time ago, perhaps in a different setting.
3. You just understand each other
Ever met two people who finish each other’s sentences? Some people call that spending too much time together, but I call it a soulmate connection. You might experience this with your best friend or your mother, but it is the telltale sign of a soulmate when you experience it with your partner.
4. You fall in love with his (or her) flaws
No relationship is perfect, and even soulmate relationships will experience ups and downs. Still, that bond will be much harder to break. Soulmates have an easier time of accepting, even learning to love, each other’s imperfections. Your relationship is more likely to be a soulmate match if you both love each other exactly as you each are, accepting both the great and awful tendencies we all have.
5. It’s intense
A soulmate relationship may be more intense than normal relationships, in both good and sometimes bad ways. The most important thing is that, even during negative episodes, you’re focused on resolving the problem and can see beyond the bad moment.
6. You two against the world
Soulmates often see their relationship to fight against the world together. They feel so interconnected together that they’re ready to willingly fight the struggles of life together. Soulmate relationships are founded on compromise and unity above all else.
7. You’re mentally inseparable
Soulmates often have a similar mental connection. They might pick up the phone to call each other at the exact same time. Though life may keep you apart at times, their minds will always be synched if you are soulmates.
8. You feel secure and protected
Regardless of the gender of your partner, he or she should always make you feel secure and protected. This means that if you’re a man, your woman should make you feel protected, too! A person who brings up your insecurities, whether consciously or subconsciously, is not your soulmate.
9. You can’t imagine your life without him (or her)
A soulmate is not a person you can walk away from that easily. It is someone you can’t imagine your life without, a person you believe is worth being together with and fighting for.
10. You look each other in the eye
Soulmates have a habit of looking into each other’s eyes when speaking which indicates that they are more than ordinary couples. It comes naturally from the deep-rooted connection between them. Communicating with eye contact while speaking denotes a high level of comfort and confidence.
Whether you’re designed by the universe to be soulmates or two loving people who have settled for each other’s strengths and weaknesses, the decision is yours. The beauty of free will is that you can remain in or change any relationship as you see fit. To be with your soulmate is one of the precious treasures of life. And if you feel you’ve found your heart’s other half, I wish you endless days of joy and laughter, and countless nights of deep embrace, unravelling the mysteries of the universe one by one.
What Happens When You Meet Your Soulmate?
1. You Feel More Than a Physical Attraction
No long-term relationship can survive alone on physical attraction or sexual chemistry, however marked it may be because looks may fade over time and infatuation meanders. However, an emotional and spiritual connection with your partner can make your bond unbreakable. And the realisation that your connection is beyond physical beauty and sexual attraction is what happens when soulmates meet.
2. You Feel a Deep Sense of Familiarity
You meet the other person for the very first time. However, there is that tingling feeling of familiarity in the air surrounding you as if you know them on a deep soul level. If this happens to you, then the person you have met is possibly your soulmate and it is your soul that made the instant recognition. This is another notable thing that happens when you meet your soulmate: you just get that intuition that the both of you will have a strong connection in the future.
3. You Share an Effortless Connection with Them
Effortless connection and smooth chemistry are what lead to a happy relationship. You will somehow find yourselves completing each other’s sentences, thinking the same things, or coming up with similar ideas, etc. You will not have to go overboard to test your bond or impress each other. This is what is known as a telepathic connection and is another indication of what happens when you meet your soulmate.
