Meeting your soulmate: A momentous event? Or a whisper you might miss...Meeting your soulmate sounds like
a momentous event, right? Like those Hollywood chick
flicks where the couple finally kisses for the first time, and everyone
claps? What real soulmate meetings look likeSome examples of this. Have you read the true story, Only Love is Real - A Story of Soulmates Reunited? It's by psychiatrist Brian Weiss who's been on Oprah and also wrote Many Lives, Many Masters. He was doing past life regression on two of his single patients, Elizabeth and Pedro a few years back. This is a great book to read if you're interested in meeting your soulmate.Noticing that Elizabeth and Pedro's past life recalls were astonishingly similar and knowing that each deeply desired true love, Dr. Weiss wondered if they were soulmates. So he discreetly arranged a meeting by booking their appointments back to back. A first meeting in Dr. Weiss' lobby fell flat. Instead, it was a serendipitious second meeting that sealed their connection... Then there's the movie Fugitive Pieces, a beautiful, sensuous tale about the redeeming power of love. Whew. I cried all the way through it! The main character, Jakob (Stephen Dillane), loses his family as a child in world war two. Damaged by the experience, he's lovingly raised by a Greek archeologist, and meets his soulmate (Ayelet Zurer) very late in life. Watch trailer Now some real-life examples! These folks are now married, and many have families. What they said early on: "He's too young."
"He's too straight. I told him that this will never go anywhere." "He's too old." "I'm not sure I want to kiss him, let alone make love." "He is completely not my type." "He doesn't work out, it'll never work." On the other hand, as they continued to see each other, these same people said: "He's
never disappointed me."
"He's as eclectic as I am..." "He makes me laugh." "He took care of me when I was sick." "He always wants to celebrate." "He initiates the emotional conversations." "I can be myself with him." So meeting your soulmate match could be like a Hollywood lightning flash (with people cheering when you kiss!). More likely, it will be be something that sneaks up on you, like a whisper. What about love at first sight?Is meeting your soulmate something you'll recognize in the moment? I don't know. Most often, I believe, intense 'instant chemistry' is an unconscious response to something our soul wants us to make conscious. In other words, a karmic relationship.The readings by clairvoyant Edgar Cayce are clear that rarely do marriage partners come together with a 'clean slate'. Linda Brady says that soulmates are two souls who have worked out their karmic differences and what's left over is love. They may have 'worked it out' in a past life. Or - they can be called to work it out in this life or a future one. It's our choice, always. Rare are 'preordained' soulmate relationships where there's nothing big to work out in this lifetime. For most of us, we'll be continuing the love story that began in past lives - warts and all. So meeting your soulmate is one thing. The question is: once you meet, how will you choose to write the new chapters of your love story today? Dating tips for meeting your soulmateSo!
