How to Know You've Found Your Soulmate

What is a soulmate?

“Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soulmate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what." - Cecelia Ahern, P.S. I Love You

Do you ever meet somebody and feel an instant connection, as though you have known them for years? It could be a friend, a family member, or a potential love interest; whoever it is, you just completely understand each other on a deep, spiritual level.

People who have a spiritual connection are commonly described as soul mates. Their attraction to each other goes deeper than just physical, intellectual, or even emotional; it is a feeling that they were born destined to be together, almost as if they are two halves of the same being. Many people believe that we all have twin souls, or even that each of us are half a soul, and that the other half is out there waiting and looking to complete us.

Though you don’t need to be in a romantic relationship with somebody to have a spiritual, soul connection with them - you can find your soulmate in a friend - it is common for soul mates to fall in love very quickly, and wish to spend the rest of their lives together. When asked about their soul mate, people often say that they ‘just know’ that they were meant for that person, but often can’t explain how they know, they just do. Here are a few different ways you can recognise if you have found your spiritual connection with the person you love.

How to know you’ve found your soulmate

“The Buddhists say if you meet somebody and your heart pounds, your hands shake, your knees go weak, that’s not the one. When you meet your ‘soulmate’ you’ll feel calm. No anxiety, no agitation.” - Unknown.

They feel like home to you

Often when we meet a new potential love interest, it can be quite a nerve wrecking, almost dramatic time. You’re unsure of their feelings, and there's a confusing period of ‘do they, don't they’. When you meet your soulmate however, the feeling is quite different. There are no insecurities, or need to play games. You simply know that this is the right thing, and that the two of you are meant to be together. It feels inevitable, and you feel calm and comfortable, knowing that you two are the perfect fit.

This doesn’t mean that the new relationship isn’t exciting, though. Some people mistakenly believe that a new love has to be full of suspense and drama to mean something, when in actual fact, finding somebody who you are completely comfortable with and have a strong connection to from the start is even more exciting. Instead of spending time questioning their motives and depicting the meaning of text messages, you can instead spend time getting to know each other and strengthening the connection you have even more.

You can be yourself around them

At the start of a relationship with the wrong person, when you’re struggling to figure out a person and their feelings, people often act very different to how they do around those they have known and loved for a long time. It’s common for people to almost put on an act, and to be who they believe the other person wants them to be. However, when you meet somebody who you have a strong, soul connection to, you are able to just be yourself. You know that they love you for exactly who you are, and so you don’t need to worry about impressing them or forging a connection based on false common interests; your soulmate most likely has the same interests, beliefs, and morals as you do.

You’re the best version of yourself

When you’re with the right person, they inspire you to be the best version of you, you can be. If you’re with somebody who isn’t your soulmate, you are likely to spend a lot of time focusing on them and making your relationship work despite the odds. However, when you’re completely secure in your relationship, knowing that you are with the person who is meant for you, you are able to think more clearly about the rest of your life and responsibilities. You have the time to think about your career, your family, your friends, and yourself. Your life is in balance, and the happiness and contentment this causes only strengthens your relationship. However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t spend time making sure your partner knows they are loved; romantic gestures are always welcome, no matter how secure a relationship is!

“People who are meant to be together find their way back, they may take a few detours, but they’re never lost. Because their hearts know where they belong and that is together.” - Unknown

You'll usually find your way back to each other

Obviously, not all relationships can be perfect and harmonious all of the time. Every relationship takes hard work and time, and at some point you will face issues you must deal with. Even those with the deepest spiritual connections face troubles, and can sometimes even break up. However, it is said that if two people are meant to be together, they will find their way back to one another eventually.
