How can we recognize our soul mate or know that it is someone we have been connected to before, in a past life? Now, we have many different soul mates, of many different types. They are not just romantic partners, they also appear as children, friends, parents, co-workers and other loved ones. These are people we have met before, in a past life. So what qualities do these people have? And how will we recognize them?
The first way you can tell if someone is a soul mate or someone you’ve been connected to before, in a past life is if they seem familiar upon meeting you. I hear people say, “I felt like I knew them somehow,” or have even asked if they’ve met somewhere before. But there is something that seems familiar about them, and that could be on an energetic level. Or maybe you have seen them before in a dream. I often hear of soul mates who have reported seeing each other in a dream years before they met. So they seem familiar in a way.
Another way to recognize someone who might be a soul mate is through their eyes. They say that the eyes are the “windows to the soul” and when you look into someone’s eyes and they not only look familiar, but you feel genuinely attracted to that person, it can mean that they are a soul mate. I’ve heard stories of people describing a moment, maybe even after dating for several months, where they noticed the other person’s eyes and what was behind them and knew they were a soul mate. So, the eyes will reflect that “soul energy” within a person, which is how we recognize our soul mate. They may look different from a past life, but their energy and soul remain the same. And so, by looking into their eyes, you can harness that soul energy in a person and recognize a soul mate.
Another way you can find that soul energy within another person that might resonate with you meeting a soul mate again is in the sound of their voice. There may be something that sounds familiar in your voice. I don’t know how it works, but the eyes and the voice seem to carry that resonance of the inner self or the soul. Maybe it has something to do with not being visual, but relying on our other senses. But there is something about the voice, I have heard people say that they heard someone speak in a room full of people and they just had to find the speaker because the voice resonated so much with them. So the voice is another way you can recognize a soul mate.
A fourth way is that they have things in common with you that go beyond the usual number of random things someone might have in common. I’ve also heard it described that soul mates before they met seem to have lived almost parallel lives. That they had almost met many, many times before they really met. For example, I’ve heard of soulmates who have lived in the same place, just at different times. However, they worked in the same office building but did not know it. Then, there will be a trail of breadcrumbs that will lead you to your soul mate, particularly intense. One of mine, who is not a romantic partner but is one of my best friends, was born in a town that is only a few miles from where I went to high school, so we both lived there only at different times in our lives. That is very common. Although you may have hobbies and similar things in common, generally speaking, soulmates tend to have similar life purposes, particularly intense soulmate connections, such as romantic partners. They may have certain causes that they are attracted to or believe in, or have professions that overlap or complement each other in some way. So if you have an unusual amount of things in common with someone and have a conversation that can feel like ping pong while exchanging life stories, then that could be a sign that you have a past life history with that person from before.
So the gift in this life to us is that we have many, many soul mates that are around us at all times. They are people who are even called our “soul family”, which means that we travel through lifetimes with the same group of them. And knowing them is a gift. And it happens all the time. So to the people who come here saying they are waiting to meet their soul mate or meet “the one”, I urge you to look around you and notice everyone around you already in your life. . So the various ways in which we can recognize them give us the opportunity to appreciate them.
