"The Paramount Experience of My Life"
How I did it: I found her. She found me. Through a stream of unlikely yet obviously beautifully orchestrated circumstances we were drawn into each others worlds. There are no accidents. This was more like fate. Intended. The most beautiful of discoveries, the paramount experience of my life. Once I saw her, I never let her out of my heart. It took us four years after our initial meeting to fall in love and commit to one another, but we both knew deep down all along. She is my soul mate, my best friend, my lover, my twin flame. I choose her every day and love her always and in all ways. She is my reason.
Lessons & tips: I have learned a lot about soul mates and have always intended to seek my own out. I felt it would happen and visualized the qualities I needed in a person. Little did i know I would get all that and more. But, to help out other seekers, here is a list of "road signs" or knocks over the head, rather, that I noticed and picked up on in my own quest.
1. Lauren and I are UNCANNILY in synch with each other and were right from the start. I think synchronicity plays an important part in soul mate meetings. It's the universes way of getting your attention. You may find similar experiences in the same timeframes before you even met (like situations, things from childhood, events, illnesses.) You may find that you had lived in neighboring cities at some point in your lives or own the same breed of cat. Be aware and pay attention!
2. I think that many people, prior to or upon or soon after meeting their soul mate, experience a "Dark Night of the Soul", or a major inner/personal/spiritual transformation. It's almost as if you need to be "emptied out" emotionally, spiritually, and mentally as a test of your spirit. Meeting your "other half" can be a magical, maddening experience that opens your perceptions. I, and others say they experienced an opening of psychic awareness with their soul mate as their hearts expands in this unbounded and unconditional love. The fact is that your life WILL NOT be the same once your soul mate enters it, and whether you perceive this as a gift or a curse is the challenge of your soul's evolution.
3. I've experienced as well as studied that to physically unite with their Twin Soul, one must do the conscious work of healing and becoming whole within their own self. I met her, loved her then and there - but we had to figure ourselves out before we could be together. I moved away and learned who Rachel really was first. Soul Mate love cannot exist in a codependent, ego-based relationship, or from a perceived "need" that this other person will make you whole. Both of you must often face separations (as Lauren and I did for a few years after meeting each other) while they strengthen their own connection to their inner self and find their strength and purpose on their own.
4. How do you know when you've met your soul mate? Meeting the "other half of your soul" is generally so life changing and profound that this question is unnecessary.... you just know. You will both recognize this extraordinary bond, whether your other is evolved and whole enough to acknowledge and act upon it is another thing. Sometimes it takes time, reflection, and hitting your head against the wall a few more times before you realize the truth. Meeting with your soul mate, for me at least, brings about an internal spiritual revolution, a deeper connection and understanding of the source, the all that is, God, or whatever you'd like to call it, and the Universal Oneness.
5. I do not believe soul mate love is obsessive, it's not a desire to "possess" another person, but truly a challenge to love unconditionally and without expectation, to be whole and complete within yourself before joining with the other whole and complete side of your soul. The longing and desire to be with your twin soul is intense, but through growth and perception together is the realness of the matter, and that is the true lesson, you are two halves of a much greater whole.
6. When you meet your soul mate, there will be no "game-playing" or manipulation. You will have the need to be transparently honest in your relationship and communication with one another. If you or your twin is committed to another relationship, you will respect and honor that bond and realize the tests of unconditional love. (Again, after we met we both saw other people but found our way back to each other while maintaining a respectful, close friend-based relationship in the meantime). Meeting your twin soul challenges you to grow spiritually, heal mentally, emotionally, physically, and to see beyond time, ego, and physical limitations. You will be driven with the desire to be the best manifestation of your soul on earth.
7. This is a relationship that will be tested in fire, cooled in wrapping of true love's embrace and will endure beyond time and space.
Resources: My heart, Her heart, Intuition, the University of North Texas, Fate, and our mutual friends were all seemingly intricate parts that all came together seamlessly to help incorporate our introduction to one another.
