We all meet so many people in our lifetime and each person is unique in their own way. We each carry a different kind of energy inside of us, and we unknowingly leave an impact on each other in one way or another.
Even though each person leaves a mark, there are some people that we connect with on such a deep level, that it’s as if they are etched into our memory and our hearts for life.
The spiritual bond between two people can be described as a liberating and confident feeling that makes you feel amazingly free when you are with them. When you meet your soulmate, you will feel like you are looking at a mirror image of yourself.
We are social beings by nature and thrive off of connecting with others.
Sometimes people click instantly and create strong bonds from the start, but how do you know if that connection is real and spiritual, or just another person that will eventually dwindle off? How do you determine whether you are experiencing an intense attraction, or a spiritual connection that stimulates your mind, body, and soul?
Below you can read about some of the tell-tale signs of a spiritual connection between two individuals.
You have mutual respect.
Respect is the basis of every good relationship, but it’s particularly important in relationships with your romantic and intimate partner. When partners are spiritually connected, they listen to each other with empathy and pay complete attention to every word they say, simply because they are genuinely interested.
The spiritual connection between two people means uninterrupted communication often because they value their lover’s feelings, emotions, and opinions.
Even if you disagree or have an argument (and arguments do happen, even in healthy relationships!), you are able to respect and value each other’s opinions and feelings by “fighting” fair.
When the connection is deep and intense, both partners have tremendous trust in the other, and for them, it is easy to set limits and boundaries. In fact, limitations may not even be necessary because they understand each other’s needs, and their souls are connected.
When the souls are connected, external factors take a back seat.
Spiritually connected partners don’t judge each other on their past, their failures, or their ideas. True connection means appreciation of each other’s differences.
Perhaps it is unnecessary to say that people connected on a spiritual level have aligned passions and interests. It doesn’t mean their opinions are entirely the same, but that their differences are acceptable.
If your partner respects you, supports and encourages you, and inspires you to become better, that person probably is the one.
You are “ride or die” for each other.
When you genuinely love and care for someone, and if you have a deep spiritual connection, you will take action in response to a crisis without any hesitation.
You feel like you would do anything your partner needs, no matter how considerable the risk is. (Not saying that you always should. Ashton usually gets upset when I put myself in the face of “danger” in order to “protect” him, but it’s just a natural instinct.)
Partners in the ride or die mode are essential because life throws curves at us all the time.
There are a lot of moments that shape your relationship and can show you who your partner really is. If you want to know whether or not your partner is truly ride or die, pay close attention to when these defining instances happen. Some key relationship moments can help you determine whether your partner is in it for the long haul or not. Here are a few:
- They are completely there for you when there is a death in the family.
- They stick up for you in public.
- They sincerely apologize to you when they did something that upset you.
- They take care of you when you are sick.
- They celebrate your successes with you.
- They comfort you after a stressful day.
You are comfortable in their presence.
Many people feel anxious and insecure when they are in a crowd or an awkward social situation. When you are with someone you are connected with on a spiritual level, you will feel completely comfortable and won’t feel any shame or discomfort to just be yourself.
The simple presence of your romantic partner is enough to fill you with peace and calm down your anxiety or nervousness.
You know that you are connected on a deep level when you can be yourself with that person, even If you are normally timid and shy around others. There is no need to act and dramatize.
I remember when I first met Ashton I used to try to be as “perfect” as possible, when really I’m such an annoying nerd and huge klutz! When I finally decided to take my guard down and reveal myself fully, he did the same, and we were able to connect on such a deeper level.
Even the silence with that person is pleasant.
Deep connection means you don’t feel the need to always fill gaps in a conversation because you can both appreciate each others space.
You are instinctively drawn to them.
Have you ever been in a situation where you enter a room full of people and notice one particular person? You lock eyes with someone and you instantly feel you are meant to talk? Even though it sounds like movie cliché, your instinct tells you the attraction is natural and that person is your spiritual match.
When you meet your soulmate, there is no room for suspicion. Your gut tells you the bond between you two is super strong, and there is no need to be ignore that.
When your energy vibrations are in harmony with that of another person, you find yourself intensely attracted to each other.
It may be as if you have known him/her for ages and feel completely at ease in their presence that you can say whatever you want without repercussions, judgment, or offending them. With others, it may take years to reach this level of companionship.
You are authentic with them.
Many people tend to change their personalities according to the needs of certain groups or institutions. They are afraid to present their real character because they think they’ll be rejected and ridiculed.
The best example is when people behave entirely differently in front of their family and their colleagues at work.
Many people adapt their behavior according to the needs in certain situations.
Also, there is no need to hide anything from your partner because the spiritual bond is strong, and you know that person won’t judge you.
You feel comfortable talking about your past and your baggage because you know your partner will support you no matter what.
You have no problem keeping up with the conversation.
We come across many people who we do not have much interest in, people with different opinions, and people we have nothing in common with.
According to your needs at the moment, you can have a “good” conversation with someone, but nothing compares to talking to your soulmate. Conversations, especially at the beginning, will be electric, resonating, and refreshing.
Talking to the spiritually connected person sets your soul on fire! You want to talk about anything and everything, and each topic is engaging.
The conversation with your soulmate feels like you explore the depths of your soul and makes you open up your heart, even if you have had trouble doing so in the past.
You support each other.
Unconditional love and connection on a spiritual level mean you support that person and genuinely feel happy for their growth, no matter what. If life were a game, you are the number one cheerleader screaming for your partner to win.
True love means you support your partner and look forward to their success.
There is no room for jealousy because you both feel as if you are one person. You want to be there for their trials and tribulations and encourage them, as you know they would do for you.
You know you are spiritually connected when you are not afraid of the problems that may come your way because you know you are not alone, and your partner will support you.
Your morals and values are aligned.
You know there is spiritual connection when you and your partner when the same set of morals, family values, and life goals. Disagreements about the color of the sofa are totally irrelevant, but aligned morals and values are probably the most crucial part of each relationship.
If you plan to spend the rest of your life with that person, you need to share the same vision for the future.
If you are not spiritually aligned and have diverging opinions, it would be complicated to buy a house, raise your children or pursue a career.
You trust them without hesitation.
Intuition is the ultimate act of self-trust, and when your gut tells you it is okay to trust someone, usually, that is the right decision. This unique feeling makes you decide immediately without asking questions.
It is interesting how our gut tells us something is wrong, and someone can hurt us. And vice versa, our intuition helps us understand things that are unclear and messy.
When you meet a spiritually connected person, your gut will let you know you should trust them.
Needless to say, trust should not be confused with being naïve. Trust is something that needs to be established and occasionally needs proof that you should continue trusting them.
You become more aware of yourself.
People tend to cover their flaws and don’t want to be vulnerable with others. However, when you are spiritually connected to someone, there’s no need to hide anything.
When there is a connection on a deeper level, that person understands you completely and helps you fix your problems.
This person will help you face your fears and will assure you reflect your good qualities.
Sometimes it is hard to confront your insecurities, but your soulmate will show you how to do that and stand right next to you through your hard times.
People act as mirrors to our deeper, sometimes unconscious, selves.
Like attracts like, and as a result, we attract soulmates that reflect our deeper, innermost, beliefs about ourselves, and love.
You can move forward in your life.
Many people face boredom and complacency and feel they’re doing nothing worthwhile at some point in their lives.
You can be sure that you are spiritually connected with your partner when that person cheers you up and encourages you to do whatever you want to. If you wish to stick to the same routines or start something new, but you don’t have the necessary self-confidence, your soulmate will give you the support you need.
We all have ups and downs, and you know your partner is your soulmate when they care for you and help you move forward.
You both view the relationship as a way for personal growth.
You can be sure that the connection with your partner is deep and spiritual if that person is the reason why you changed your life dramatically and positively.
When you meet your soulmate, many things will change, and things will never be the same. That is scary, but also liberating. Being in a relationship means you change, and thus your relationship evolves.
This particularly refers to when you have dreams buried deep down in your heart, and your partner helps you take action.
Whether you have talent and want to start a hobby or a professional upgrade, your partner will tell you the truth and will point you in the direction, directly or indirectly.
Truth is always priceless, and when you are spiritually connected, your partner won’t be afraid to tell you the lesson you need to hear. Their goal is to become your best, and facing the harsh reality is part of the process.
You maintain your separate, individual lives without issues.
Being spiritually connected to your partner doesn’t mean you spend all of your free time together.
You are soulmates…not Siamese twins.
When you love someone and are deeply attached to that person, you certainly enjoy spending time together; but it doesn’t mean you don’t have a life оutside of your relationship.
Spiritual connection means you have separate, but cohesive lives.
Self-improvement (including taking care of your overall health and well-being, upgrading your knowledge, spending quality time with family and friends) is essential for everyone.
Boundaries are another vital aspect of every relationship. It means you won’t be impulsive and let your emotions and poor mood ruin your bond.
Your lives are better together than apart.
Spiritual connection with someone means your bond is so strong, it is nearly unbreakable. Or in other words, your life is better when you are together.
The energy between you makes you feel you are right where you are supposed to be. Being together feels natural and effortless. Even when you are apart, thinking about that person makes you feel good and calm.
And when you are together, the movie you watch is more interesting, walking on the street seems more pleasant, and you feel more motivated and productive in general.
