What is Soul Recognition and why do we experience it? Soul Recognition is when you, at your soul level, recognize another soul. Your conscious self doesn’t have any knowledge of familiarity with this person, but your soul does.
Here are a few signs that you may experience to help you identify when you may be experiencing this unusual phenomenon.
- Inner excitement. You may experience this inner, almost jittery feeling, like ‘it’s them!’ It is definitely not a common feeling that I’ve ever experienced, in fact – I think there was only one time where I experiences that feeling related to meeting someone.
- Sense of familiarity You just meet someone and yet you feel like you’ve known them forever. Things just seem to ‘click.’ You feel comfortable with them. It’s almost like you are just picking up where you left off. There’s a unique sense of immediate trust and safety.
- A sense of intrigue or feeling drawn to them. You may find yourself forming an almost unhealthy sense of wonder about them. You may think ‘what is it about this person?’ You may find yourself staring at their photo – just seeing if anything will trigger something to help you understand what you are feeling. You keep on trying to put your finger on it, but you just can’t.
- Immediate attraction You may feel this ‘moth to a flame’ type of energy where you are just drawn to them physically. Hugs may feel out of this world, like you are on a cloud, feeling a sense of energetic elevation that you may have never experienced before.
- Magnetic attraction This is different than just ‘immediate attraction.’ This is an actual magnetic pull towards someone. I have experienced this at least twice and it is a very odd sensation – because you actually do feel like you are being drawn into their energetic field.
Other tell-tale signs are either before or actually meeting them in person – they may show up in your dreams. Some of these dreams may feel so real, you may wake up confused like ‘what just happened?’ I believe what is happening in these circumstances is that you are actually meeting up in the astral realms, in your astral body – which sometimes can feel like your actual physical body.
We are multi-dimensional beings, and we can experience ourselves in other dimensions. What is cool about this – is that you begin to understand that even though you may not meet in this 3D world – due to distance or other circumstances, your astral self can and DEFINITELY does not have a problem meeting up!
One of the clearest signs of soul recognition is feeling an instant connection that bypasses time and physical limitations – prompting you to meet in the astral realms when a physical meeting isn’t possible. All you need to do is to encounter this person (of course there are always exceptions to this) online, or wherever, but just becoming aware of this person can trigger these experiences.
One interesting thing that happened to me, back when I met some ‘old soul friends’ of mine in 2016, was that after meeting them – I immediately began to have all sorts of dreams with them. Sometimes it was all of us, sometimes just a few, and sometimes just me and one other person. These dreams were either from past lives, future lives, or even parallel experiences. I remember one dream where we were clearly in Atlantis! This stuff can be so fascinating!
Additionally, we may have dreams of people that we have not met in this life. These dreams can let you know that you may encounter them soon in the 3D.
Now, why do we meet up with people that we have had past lives with? Well, we need to take a step back and look at why we came to Earth, we came to experience different things. All of these were for our growth as a soul. We arrive on Earth with the veil of amnesia – forgetting our past lives, and who we are at the soul level. We make agreements with our Spirit Team (guides, etc.) and other souls for what we plan to experience here.
Many times, we have had past lives with other souls and maybe we didn’t learn the lesson or experience the growth that we had planned to. So we may decide to give it another try. Or maybe we fell in love in another lifetime, but due to circumstances, we were not able to express our love to each other. There are so many different potentials that exist.
If you realize that we have lived 100s, or even 1000s of lives before, you can see that most likely, we’ve encountered many, many souls over these lifetimes. I’m sure that we tend to incarnate with a group of souls and just change roles. You can find out information about this topic by reading the works of Dolores Cannon and Michael Newton – who have done extensive research on past lives through hypnosis.
Having been on the Twin Flame Journey for quite some time, I’ve been able to settle into an understanding that I’ve lived many past lives before and when I encounter a familiar soul – I may not know the purpose or reason for our meeting, but I do know that it is significant. It may just be to close a karmic loop, or to learn something I need to learn, or maybe it’s even just to meet up to know that we are both here – just a kinship type of thing. I’ve realized that the best thing that we can do is to honor the feeling, not to obsess over them (hard to do sometimes, I know) but to let things play out. I think that is probably the biggest lesson I’ve learned. It could be that person is here to wake us up, to help us remember ourselves, to grow or to expand in some way. These are not always about meeting ‘The One’ and planning our “Happily Ever After” story. It’s recognizing that whoever is showing up – and in whatever way they are showing up – is to help you grow and expand your self-awareness.
Are you going to continue to let yourself be walked over?
Are you going to learn to say no?
Are you going to know your worth?
Even though we may get that jittery feeling inside, we need to understand that it is a message for us to pay attention to this person. We have something to work on here. Allow yourself to receive the message. Am I showing up as the best version of myself? What is this person reflecting back to me?
It isn’t always easy to decipher that but having been through I don’t know how many scenarios and iterations of this over the past few years – I think I’m finally getting it.
Being able to stand back, honoring your feelings and being present in the moment will help you to see things from a higher perspective. I always like the idea of symbolism of the hawk. The hawk can look down and see things from a higher perspective. We incarnated here with the veil of amnesia – of who we are, but we need to remember that by taking a higher perspective and looking objectively at what is happening, it will allow us to make the most out of our interactions with other souls here on Earth. We agreed to meet up to see how we would show up. By tapping into our internal guidance, our intuition, our body, our dreams, we can begin to identify the dynamic and what our soul is needing from meeting up with this other soul. Tune in and listen and see what gifts this soul is bringing to you.
