A soul tribe is different than a friend group, but are way more important than a friend will ever be. Have you ever wondered how to know if someone is a soulmate to you or why certain people are a part of your tribe? If moving around a lot has taught me one thing, it is that Soul Connections show up in funny places, are there in different ways, but may not always be part of your active life.
Who Are Your Soul Connections?
Soul connections... These are the people you can text at 2 am after going months without talking to, these are people who you have met only once but have impacted your life in a tremendous way, these are people you meet online and just connect with without any awkwardness, these are people who have caught you at your roughest time, and have helped guide you through.
I believe everything is part of a greater plan. I believe the Universe is mapped out and everything we experience is based on karma and ascension. Soul connections are different than friends. Friends may stay in your life forever, they may also come and go. You may cherish a friendship, but there is no depth, intensity, and synchronicity like a soul connection. Soul Connections are deeper. These members of your tribe are drawn to you at specific points in your life. I am big on "DOT CONNECTING" and all my friends/spiritual connections are reading this right now in my LOUD voice. DOT CONNECTING is where you go through a difficult and challenging situation, maybe even traumatic, often heartbreaking, and never easy... As you look back you say "wow I wouldn't have been able to do that if ____ didn't happen or if _____ wasn't around." Pivotal points in your life attract your soul tribe. These spirits are drawn to your authenticity.
They will show up at times that strengthen and shape your character because these times will reveal to you your true self; your soul connections SEE your true self and can serve as a reflection or introduction of your true self for you.
The truth is, although there are signs that someone may be a soulmate, you may never know where this person is hiding. It is important to trust and rely on the people that you have crossed paths with no matter what. Everyone is there to bring you a lesson. You may never know which of these people is your true soul connection until you have endured the designated chapter with them.
The Universe will give you a member of your soul tribe when you are challenged deeply. Pay attention to those around you when you are at your rock bottom.
This person may have gone through the same thing already or may have a different perspective. Keep an open mind when you feel a deep connection with somebody.
They are like angels in a physical vessel (yes you are an angel for someone else too!) At these times of struggle, the universe will send someone your way. It may take a LONG time for that person to show so if you are going through a challenge - do not fear that you will continue to be alone just because you are now. Sometimes you must also look around at the people who are there. Sometimes people who have been in your life before will show up again as a soul connection.
Health Coach, Melissa Lindsay Freedman, writes here about how the four different kinds of soulmates.
- Healing Soulmates: Help you move forward through adversity.
- Karmic Soulmates: Help you overcome ego pain and aspects (most often from a past life).
- Past life Soulmates: Someone you feel comfortable with no matter length or location of friendship; teach you about your true self.
- Twin Flames: Someone who may mirror you and break the barriers of other relationships you once knew.
Whether or not the soul connection you have just met is in your life temporarily, loosely, or close to you forever - know that they are a significant part of your growth. They have supported you and your journey, helped you heal, been a confidant, and provided you a new checkpoint so there is no remission into a darkness that once was. They have helped lift you up into a new chapter. They have helped you ascend into a new you.
I love my tribe. I am glad I found one in each of you.
