The Familiar Eyes Of A Kindred Soul

Have you ever met someone who you just felt were from the same soul group as yourself? Sometimes we look into the eyes of a stranger and feel a very strong connection. It could be a very awkward feeling, especially when you are not expecting it.

Yes, we do connect with those who are kindred spirits. You feel that you know that person, and most likely you do. You know that person because your memory of them is recorded in your cell memory.

We have had many past lives and sometimes we find we are incarnated in the same soul group as that person. We sometimes connect with them briefly, for only a few minutes. Sometimes we see them every day at work, at school. Some are our teacher in some way shape or form.

Kindred souls often appear in our lives at the perfect time, but sometimes they also show up at the wrong time. This can be at a time that is so awkward that we try and avoid them, because we just can’t figure out why we feel the strong connection.

I have a friend who takes her child to a sports program every week. The instructor seems very familiar to her. She feels a strong connection to him, but she is married, and he is also married. “It is completely and utterly awkward,” she says.

I did a reading for her and found that they have had many past lifetimes together. Each of these lifetimes they were almost together, but they never got together. There have been many ‘almosts.’

She can feel the nervous energy when she is around him. She said she can tell he feels it too. She stopped taking her child to this fitness program, because she dreaded seeing him. She figured maybe a few months away from him would do the trick. It didn’t. When she saw him again, the connection was still as strong, and it made her feel super uncomfortable, but in a good way.

She says his energy is so kind and sweet and she knew that he was a kindred soul, but didn’t know how to deal with that energy. Apparently, it helps a lot for her not to make eye contact with him. When she looks him in the eyes, it’s almost  as though she “is home.” That is how she described it.

I advised her to just be herself and try not to think too deeply about it. We do tend to orbit around those with whom we are soulfully connected. We make the choices we make in life.

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and thats what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

She says she is happy in her marriage, but she feels that if she wasn’t married, and if he wasn’t married, she could easily fall in love with him.  I told her the best thing she could do is to be present in the moment and allow herself to feel how she feels, but to try and fill her thoughts with her family and be happy in her life.

Most of all she should try not to over think the situation. She must be happy that she has connected with a twin flame, but also know that she made choices that led her to where she is today.

She acknowledges this and says she wants to divert potential drama and chaos, and a whole lot of confusion, and focus on what she agreed to with her husband. It can be awkward when we run into a kindred soul, after we have already committed our life to someone else. Like our souls our hearts are multi-faceted, and we are able to love many people, but we live in a world where there is such a thing as marriage.

We will run across many people in our lives with familiar eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. If it is true we are all connected and that we all come into our life with others, who are a part of soul group, it is a treat, a gift to recognize these souls as familiar, kindred. Just to know they are orbiting around us, is a treat in and of itself. Don’t make too much of it if the time is not right.
