Sometimes in life, we meet someone who sparks a light in our soul. Meeting this person feels exciting and joyful, yet familiar and calm.
We meet many people in a lifetime, and contrary to common belief, we come across many soulmates in a lifetime.
For some of us, we meet one person we firmly believe is our soulmate and spend our lives with. For others, a soulmate is one of a larger soul group, and we meet many of those group members, our ‘soul tribe,’ throughout the journey of our life.
Whether a soulmate is one person or several, it’s hard to explain precisely what happens in our hearts, minds, and souls when we meet them. Even if you’re not spiritual, meeting such people can make you question reality altogether.
It seems that there must be some grand design, some divine grace that has brought this person or these people into your life.

Conclusion
Part of living as humans is experiencing almost unexplainable deep connections to others.
Sometimes we’re simply getting on with our lives when a person enters and shakes up our entire worldview. Eventually, we develop a soul connection, whereby a relationship or friendship’s ups and downs make us realize that this person is significant to us.
If you feel like you’re missing your soulmate right now, that someone is out there, but you haven’t met them yet, understand that meeting your soulmate requires some work.
The work is not about looking for that person or settling for less just because you’ve found someone to be close with.
The work is about going on a journey of self-discovery, where you get to know yourself better.
When you make this journey inward and practice honesty, authenticity, and self-compassion, you’ll prime your soul to be ready for when a soulmate comes along.
