If you\u2019re wondering when you\u2019ll meet your soulmate, don\u2019t fret, you might have already met at least one of them.<\/p>\n
Yes, I said \u201cone\u201d of your soulmates!<\/p>\n
How many soulmates do we have?<\/p>\n
Throughout our lives, we\u2019ll meet five different types of soulmates, and all of them will be captivating, memorable, and absolutely necessary for your soul\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n
Each soulmate is deeply meaningful, intensely connective and profoundly impactful on our lives. Some types of soulmates stay around forever, and some leave more quickly than we would like.<\/p>\n
What some of us struggle with is feeling a deep, soulful connection with another person and then having to go through the process of accepting their purpose in our lives has been served and it\u2019s time to let them go.<\/p>\n
Not all soulmates are the feel-good kind where you say, \u201cWe fell in love the moment our eyes met and are going to love each other till the end of time.\u201d They\u2019re not necessarily going to end up as your life partner, and unlike popular myths might make it seem, they\u2019re not a replica of you.<\/p>\n
There are many other types of soulmates \u2014 ones who come in solely for the purpose of teaching us something, some to break apart our life and redirect us to somewhere different, and others who pass us for the briefest of moments, yet tug on our hearts as if we\u2019ve known them a lifetime.<\/p>\n
5 Types of Soulmates You\u2019ll Meet in Your Life<\/p>\n
1. The Friendship Soulmate<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes, we meet a person and click from the moment we lay eyes on each other. It\u2019s as if we\u2019ve known them our entire life, even if we\u2019ve only known them a few minutes.<\/p>\n You tell each other everything. You could talk to this person for hours on end and never get bored. You share everything about yourself and they don\u2019t judge you.<\/p>\n These types of soulmates actually know you better than you know yourself, which is why they are extremely important in your life. They \u201cget you\u201d in ways nobody else does and help you navigate your way through all of life\u2019s trials and triumphs.<\/p>\n The friendship soulmate is a gift and one you should treasure your entire life. Because they are here to stay.<\/p>\n 2. The Wrecking Ball Soulmate<\/strong><\/p>\n This soulmate is not somebody that comes into our life peacefully. They enter in to shake things up. They challenge us and make us question everything we thought we knew about life. There is a clear \u201cbefore them\u201d and \u201cafter them\u201d distinction when we look back on our lives and realize that we are now a completely different person than the day we met them.<\/p>\n This type of soulmate can come in many forms but it\u2019s normally a romantic relationship that leaves us feeling as if we\u2019ve been swept up like a tornado, taken for the ride of our life, and then dumped from the sky with no warning in an exhausted, tailspin heap.<\/p>\n Despite feeling like we don\u2019t know what the hell happened since the ride was so fun when it first started, the beauty of this type of soulmate is that like a tornado hitting and leaving mass wreckage behind, we\u2019re forced to rebuild from the ground up and can now make our new home (us) anything we want.<\/p>\n And most people rebuild something completely different and way more beautiful than what existed before.<\/p>\n 3. The Lover\/Affair Soulmate<\/strong><\/p>\n These people don\u2019t stay in our lives forever, but they come in as a lover and typically take on the form of a really beautiful relationship for a period of time. They might be our first love, an affair we had while being with someone else, or simply a lover who we had a no-strings-attached relationship with.<\/p>\n These soulmates are meant to be in our lives for a certain period of time to teach us about ourselves and other important lessons that will be poignant and meaningful down the road.<\/p>\n Typically, these types of relationships don\u2019t start off with that \u201cinstant connection, butterflies in the stomach\u201d feeling that we think we should feel with a potential partner, but over time it builds and the relationship turns into something serious and meaningful.<\/p>\n Soulmates like this often stay on good terms and become friends after their relationship ends, both realizing and acknowledging how much the other person taught them. Therefore that \u201csoul connection\u201d lasts a lifetime even though the romantic portion of the dynamic fades.<\/p>\n 4. The Complete Stranger<\/strong><\/p>\n This type of soulmate comes in the form of a very brief encounter with somebody you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n It might be the person you sat next to on a flight for a few hours. It may be someone you meet and spend time with one evening at a party. It can be as brief as an encounter with a stranger whose eyes yours meet on the street and you exchange just a few words with.<\/p>\n Typically the feeling is, \u201cOh! I recognize you!\u201d Almost as if you\u2019ve seen them before and are remembering them but can\u2019t place where. If you believe in past lives, it\u2019s typically because you are recognizing them as someone who truly is from your past.<\/p>\n The exchange is brief but intimate. They normally say something that you need to hear at the moment, validate something that you\u2019ve been feeling or push you in a direction you need to go but are afraid.<\/p>\n You know in the depths of your soul the encounter meant something even though you never see them again.<\/p>\n 5. Divine Love Soulmate<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the soulmate every one of us desires to have. And if we\u2019re lucky enough, we will meet them and live out the rest of our days on this earth together.<\/p>\n They encompass all of the above \u2014 the familiarity, the feeling of having known them for an entire lifetime moments after meeting them, the intense bond and connection that never goes away, the deep friendship, and the extraordinary, enchanted, deep-seated love.<\/p>\n May all of us have the good fortune of coming together with this person at some point in our lives!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
