Have you ever come
across a person who you feel like you've known "forever" - even
if you've just met?
Have you ever come across a person with who you immediately
connect, without knowing why?
Sometimes these people
actually know what you're going to say before you've even said
anything.
Mateo and I used to call
these experiences "freaky mind connections" because we'd often think
and say the exact same thing at the exact same moment.
These people who we connect with on a deep heart level can be
thought of as our "Soul Family" or "Soul Group."
I'll share with you how to recognize members of your own
Soul Family
and what lessons they'll help you learn.
What is a Soul
Family?
A Soul Family is comprised of a group of people that your
Soul energetically resonates with on a mental, emotional, physical,
and spiritual level.
These people are members of the same "Spirit Family" as you and they
share an intensely strong bond that transcends time and space
itself.
Intuitively, most people tend to describe this connection as sharing
the same "frequency" or "vibration" because of the deep harmony
felt.
Such a deep and harmonious connection goes beyond sharing the same
surface-based personality tastes, hobbies, and opinions: it's an
intense magnetic and spiritual bond that is inexplicable to the
mind.
Therefore, your Soul Family is often described as being comprised of
Souls that are cut from the same "energetic cloth" as you.
Types of Soul
Family Connections
There are many different types of Soul Family connections that you
can develop including:
Essentially, a Soul
connection happens when two people of the same vibrational frequency
energetically overlap and share similar thoughts, feelings, values,
and dreams.
Although you might come from different cultures, races, or opposite
backgrounds, you'll immediately sense an ancient and strong
connection in your bones, blood, and very Soul.
Why Do We Have
Soul Families?
To me, the most valuable social experience a person can ever have is
meeting a member of their Soul Family.
The defining quality of this type of person is that they make it
impossible for you to remain the same person by the time they exit
your life.
Relationships, like nature itself, have many seasons. Uniting with a
Soul Family member can last a few hours on a plane trip, or end
after 60 years of marriage. Sometimes only physical death will end
(if only momentarily) such connections.
Every member of your Soul Family will appear in your life to teach
you a lesson and to catalyze your spiritual awakening.
However, we're not always ready to fully connect with members of our
Soul Family - but even this is a lesson unto itself.
So why do we have Soul Families?
Metaphysically speaking, Soul Families are a natural product of the
"flow" of Spirit. If you look at the Ocean, you'll notice that
sometimes clusters of waves arise.
The same goes for Soul
Families:
we are all Spirit,
but we're also broken down into many different Soul Families.
These Soul Families carry
out certain roles, namely, to help each other embody the purpose of
their Souls.
In other words, your Soul Family is here to help you learn, grow,
and experience what ancient traditions have referred to as
"nirvana", self-realization or enlightenment.
Soul Families
Throughout History
In many spiritual traditions, the obstacles that we face in this
life are said to be chosen before birth.
It is said that we choose the family we're born into, the bodies and
personalities we develop, and the people we bring into our lives.
These people are chosen because our Souls knew they would give us
the best chance to learn the many life lessons we need to grow
spiritually.
There are many examples of Soul Families throughout history that
gained a lot of force and traction, therefore creating drastic
social change.
Take, for instance, the Creative Renaissance, that was
composed of figures such as,
Leonardo Da Vinci,
Michelangelo, Raphael, Machiavelli, Thomas More, Copernicus,
Francis Bacon, Galileo, Martin Luther, and William
Shakespeare...
Chances are that they
were all part of the same Soul Family...!
There was also the Spiritual Renaissance that was composed of
figures such as,
Gautama Buddha,
Mahavira, Makkhali Gosala, and Ajita Kesakambali...
In China, there was,
Confucius, Lao Tzu,
Mencius, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu,
...and in Greece there
was,
Socrates, Plato,
Aristotle, Heraclitus, and Pythagoras...
All of these individuals
interacted with each other (directly or indirectly) in different
ways that were necessary for a revolution to occur.
The amazing thing is that each of these Soul Families has wildly
expanded our collective growth and evolutionary progress.
Not only that, but each coming generation will bring in waves of
powerful and transformative Soul Family energy that is built upon
the previous progress of earlier Soul Families.
By finding your Soul Family, you grow at not only an individual
level but also a collective level. Each plan, each path, is equally
as important in the overall evolution of the whole.
It's only through this profound experience of relating to one
another on a Soul level that drastic change can occur on both an
inner and outer level.
12 Signs
You've Met Someone from Your Soul Family
If
wanderers who are members of other sects should ask you,
"What, friend,
are the prerequisites
for the
development of the wings to self-awakening?"
you should
answer,
"There is the
case where a monk has
admirable
friends, admirable companions, admirable comrades.
This is the
first prerequisite for the development
of the wings to
self-awakening."
Gautama
Buddha
The Anguttara Nikaya
There are a few ways to tell if you've met someone who resonates
with you on a Soul level. (Please note that in the case of karmic
relationships, a lot of these signs don't apply.)
Here are a few things you
might notice:
1. Your eye
contact is deep and engaging
You're not afraid to make prolonged eye contact with members of
your Soul Family - it doesn't feel awkward.
When you do make eye contact, it's as if there's something
familiar that you both share, something comforting, something
ancient.
Perhaps when you make eye contact, you're tapping into a deeper
truth that you both silently understand and share.
2. They
will be more Soul-centric than Ego-centric
Members of your Soul Family will not be interested in
ego-centered pursuits such as fame, status, money, and glory.
Instead, they'll be more soul-centered.
For example, they might be interested in conscious living,
meditation, healthy eating, yoga, helping the environment, and
so forth. Even if they're not overly "spiritual" per se, you'll
be able to pick up on their big heart.
3.
You're magnetically drawn to them
For no apparent reason, members of your Soul Family will "pop
out" to you like sore thumbs. You'll be immediately drawn to
them and their energy. Even if you lose touch with them, they'll
likely emerge in your life over and over again.
4. Both
of you speak the "same language"
When speaking, both of you share similar thoughts and insights,
and you're on the "same page" emotionally. It's not uncommon for
you to both repeat the same thoughts and words, as if you're
mirroring each other's minds.
5. You
feel as though you've known them for your entire life
You've never felt so comfortable and understood by another
person in your entire life! Deep down, your connection feels
timeless. When you first met this person, you felt a strange
sense of recognition and familiarity.
6. You
always feel energized around them
Whenever you spend time with a member of your Soul Tribe, you'll
feel energetically uplifted rather than drained.
7. They
appear in your life when you most need guidance
The moment you're open to growing beyond your current layers of
fear and limiting beliefs is the moment you'll attract a member
of your Soul Family for spiritual guidance.
8.
Hours talking with them feels like minutes
Time is completely relative when you speak with someone from
your Soul Family. You enjoy talking with them so much that time
disappears quickly and before you know it, three hours have gone
by!
9. They
reflect your best qualities
Your Soul Family reflects your best qualities, but they will
also challenge you to see and embrace your greatest flaws.
Sometimes challenging you will including creating difficult
circumstances for you to learn from (usually unconsciously), or
being brutally honest with you (even if it hurts).
Whatever the case, you can count on your Soul Family to help you
authentically grow.
10. You
share similar life experiences
Themes such as abandonment, abuse, isolation, and other
struggles will be shared between you and your Soul Family
member. Each life theme will be used as a basis for growth,
advice, and mutual support.
11.
Your Soul feels nourished in their presence
There are some people in life who seem to weigh heavily on your
Spirit - your Soul Family does the opposite. You'll always feel
seen, understand, loved, and uplifted by members of your Soul
Tribe.
12. You can be
your raw and authentic self with them
There's no need to hide, fake, or pretend to be someone else
around your Soul Family. Your Soul Family honors and celebrates
the "authentic" you both on a personality level, and a Soul
level.
How to Find
Your Soul Family
Where do you find
people from your Soul Family...?
People have asked me this
question so many times, and I once asked the same thing too.
But the question
isn't about "where" you'll find them - your Soul Family will
find you.
Instead, the question
is "when" you will find them.
Over the years, I've
found that a time comes in your life when you feel a strong pull
towards your Soul Family as if you're finally ready to meet them.
When members of your Soul Family also reach the same readiness,
synchronicity will bring you together.
But this inner feeling doesn't mean that you should sit around,
twiddle your thumbs, and continue your normal routine without
changing anything.
You can't win the lottery unless you buy a ticket! Once you feel
ready to meet them, you need to start actively pursuing the
encounter.
At this point, you'll need to listen to your intuition or gut
feelings rather than your head.
Your mind, full of fears and past habits, will guide you toward the
path that feels most comfortable and safe - this is the wrong path.
The best path forward is to listen to your heart.
Certainly, your heart will guide you to step outside of your comfort
zone and feel uncomfortable. But, in the end, your heart knows the
way as it is connected to
your Soul.
Likely, you'll find your intuition guiding you towards new places
and activities that you've never tried before.
For example, you might be guided to create an online meet-up group,
join a cooking class, start tai chi, take up a volunteering
position, or even travel to a place that unexpectedly calls to you.
***
You might only meet one person from your Soul Family, or if you're
fortunate, you might meet all of them - but this isn't important.
What matters is having the experience of meeting those who share
your purpose and mission on Earth to support our collective
evolution as a species.
I feel blessed to know so many of my Soul Tribe through this work
and website.
I hope that you're drawn ever closer to other members of your Soul
Family each day.
