Can Best Friends Be Soul Mates?

Q: What happens when you meet two soulmates, who just happen to be best friends?





A: Thank you for your question! Your question gets asked quite a bit. In fact, I touched on this one on when I appeared on Single Talk which you can listen to here.

What you are describing is the karmic soul mate bond – two people who are best friends. Keep in mind that this is only one kind of soul mate relationship and is therefore no important nor no less than the other kinds.

A karmic soul mate comes into your life for a reason and that is to teach you something or you teach them. Sometimes the reason is not apparent, but you can’t miss the spiritual attraction which is quite different from the sexual attraction exhibited in the companion soul mate relationship or even the twin soul relationship.

For example, two close friends, a cousin that you are really close to, even that furry companion at your feet can all be karmic soul mates.

The karmic bond is a very special bond which you need to reach your higher self. Martin Schulman once said, “Every time our unconscious is working something out, it calls into our lives the people who have within the pieces of the answer we are seeking.”

Translated, that means the spirit of you is calling the spirit of others to help you with something that you need in order to find your higher self.

So, yes, soul mates can even be best friends.

Hope this helps and may all your soul mate dreams come true!

So, join me as we explore the secrets of why you need soul mates in order to find your higher self!

Do Soul Mates Argue?

I thought I'd found my soulmate, but we disagree about some things. Sometimes we even argue. Does this mean she/he isn't my soulmate?



Yes, we are all human and even soul mates can argue.

This is exactly the point I was making to friend of mine the other day. She was under the impression that soul mates have worked out all the karma and are at that point where there is nothing standing in their way of happiness and total bliss.

This is far from true.

You have to remember that we are not robots and we are still on our life's journey which is going to be filled with not only happiness, but hardships as well.

It is those hardships that test the relationship and sometimes we don't handle it very well and this creates friction within our soul mate - and other - relationships.

The secret is finding a way to express your feelings in a way that does not come over as harmful or vindictive. Listen to your soul mate and instead of becoming defensive, hear what he has to say, and express your feelings towards what he has to say in a calm, collective manner. When you shout at each other and create hurt feelings, that only puts a dagger in the relationship.

When you first feel that tensions are rising, calm yourself and speak. When you do this, this lowers the tension in the room and is addictive. You'll be surprised how you have created a calm atmosphere and your partner will, too.

Working towards solving differences does not mean you have to shout and say things you can never take back. Approach all obstacles as they are meant to be approached. It's obvious there is some karma that has to be worked out. Work on this together. Instead of having a "I'm right, you're wrong" approach, listen to each other. You'll be amazed at how this works so much better than shouting or creating an atmosphere of total chaos.

When I tried this approach towards my own relationship, I found this works. Open communication is the key and one of the tips in my free report, "Ten Tips to Identify Your Soul Mate," which you can obtain by signing up for my newsletter at my website, Soul Mate Advice.

Hope this helps!
