Soul Friends

Soul friends are different from soulmates. Your soulmate is your romantic or life partner, the one you share your life with. Your soul friend is your best friend. Even when you haven’t talked with each other for a long time, you always seem to know what is going on with them.

We have several spiritual friendships in our lifetime. Those special friendships are part of our soul contract or life plan while we are here on Earth. Before we came here we made an agreement with certain members of our soul group to find and support each other while in this lifetime.

How do you know when someone is from your soul group? There is an instant connection right away. Your laughter, and humor, and way of thinking, just seems to fit. You immediately ‘get’ each other’s ‘vibe.’ We have more than one soul friend in every lifetime, which may even include siblings and co-workers.

Why is having soul friends important? Well, because soul friends help, support and guide us along our journey in this lifetime. You can usually talk about anything with them, without feeling judged or criticized, or feeling obligated sometimes.

As you are thinking of them, almost instantly the phone might ring and it’s them, saying that they were thinking of you and wanted to reach out. It makes our journey so much easier when we have them in our lives, because with soul friends you can be who you truly are.

A soul friend becomes critical to determining who we become as a person. They’re people we form deep connections with. Connections that transform us ~  Stephen Cope

Often, when we are going through a very tough time, our soul friend will be guided to us, to help us along our way. We can also call them our ‘earth angels.’ A soul friend will typically do everything in their power to help us stay safe. A soul friend will tell you exactly what you need to hear, even when you don’t want to hear it.

A soul friend would rather lose your friendship and love you from a distance, than watch you self-destruct. A true soul friend knows that your relationship is going to survive any and all tumultuous situations, no matter how bad it gets. Before you came you agreed to never abandon each other in this life. Can soul friends have arguments? Oh my, yes! And often they are really heated arguments too. But you always come back together and always talk things through in the end.
