Soul Mates 101 – Part 1

---

What exactly is a soul mate?

Well, you’ll get different answers depending on who you ask. Most people view soul mates as romantic partners meant to find each other and spend their lives together teaching each other about true love in perfect harmony.

But that's not quite how they work...

Are Soul Mates Even Real?

Yes, they are real. No, they are not quite the way they are portrayed.

In reality, soul mates, and our relationships with them, are far more varied than just meeting each other and everything being perfect.

To explain how this works we must start before we are even born into this world.

Back over there in The Spirit World – yes that is where we come from - everyone is connected, loved and supported by everyone else.

Quite the change from the planet we live on, isn’t it?

Every soul in The Spirit World is just as dedicated to helping others grow as they are in growing themselves. This is because every one of them is so connected that when one learns, we all learn and expand through them.

So technically every soul in existence could be considered your soul mate. Every person you meet is a chance to learn new things about yourself and the world around you.

But for the sake of starting off simple we’ll focus this post on groups of soul mates.

Every one of us has a group of souls committed to helping us grow while we are in body. We tend to call these groups Soul Families. Some souls stay and help from over there. Some come into living form with us and teach us by giving us experiences we need to further our understanding of whatever topic it is we want to learn. And in turn we help them by teaching them something at the same time.

So if your soul decides it wants to learn about self-empowerment, you might have a fellow spirit join you in life to be your school yard bully. Us humans do learn best by experiencing the opposite of what we want to clarify, after all. That bully you hate may teach you what it means to feel victimized. In response you learn that you prefer to feel empowered and in healing from the experience you learn the lessen you needed to learn: what it means to be empowered.

Make sense so far?

Not all souls come into life at the same time you do. Some might come before you and start learning things you will not be a part of. For example, might have a spirit family member as your loving grandparent that helps you overcome that school yard bully. Or and older sibling. That sort of thing.

And because our souls are always in contact with each other you may even have spirit family members, that seem like random people, that step in long enough to help and then step out of your life again. Like the school mate who steps in just in time before the bully beats you up.

In this way we help each other. The bully may learn what it means to be understanding and compassionate. The school mate may learn how to stand up for others. You may learn self empowerment.

The whole process is fascinating isn't it?
