It feels like you’ve known them your whole life. Have you ever met someone and everything just clicked? It doesn’t matter if you met once or recently; all you sense is a deep connection that knows no bounds. People often describe spiritual connections as soulmates or kindred spirits. [2] X Research source
- Soulmates or kindred spirits aren't always romantic; they can be platonic or familial, too.
- Your connection lets you tap into meaningful, insightful, and empowering conversations.
-

-
You're safe around them. Your spiritual connection offers you emotional safety by creating a safe space to be vulnerable. [6] X Research source When you authentically express your emotions, your soulmate can do the same.

-
You feel heard and seen. In every conversation shared, your spiritual connection practices active listening and it shows. They maintain eye contact, ask insightful questions, and offer advice to help you make the best decision.

- By reading your body language, your spiritual connection is in tune with the things that bother you and make you happy.

You have mutual respect. In any relationship, respect is vital. It appears in various forms, but the one way your spiritual connection knows how to show it is by actively listening to you. They value your thoughts, opinions, and experiences and use them as a stepping stone in their life.

You'd do anything for them. Your emotions intensify around your spiritual connection. Nothing will get in your way to show them how much you care. You're by their side in a flash when they're in need.

They help you overcome past turmoils. People embark on spiritual journeys for many reasons. For some, it's to feel free of past traumas and hurts. Spirituality helps you look beyond the pain and find peace with your inner self. [9] X Research source In doing so, you improve your spiritual connection with yourself and others by freeing your mind from the wrongdoings of others.
-
You recognize each other's boundaries. Identifying and adhering to each other's boundaries is a form of respect in any relationship, spiritual or not. It clarifies what you are and are not willing to put up with. Any person who wants to be a positive force in your life will honor your limits.
- You can create boundaries in any aspect of your life, like specific topics or behaviors.
-
You're more self-aware. Self-awareness is understanding your character, feelings, motives, and desires. [10] X Research source Your soulmate is a second lens into your world, and they can offer you different views you may not have considered before. You may learn the reasons behind your actions through your interactions.
-
You genuinely support each other. In a competitive world, it can be hard to find and build genuine connections with others. However, with your spiritual connection, it's easy to celebrate each other's passions and successes.
- For example, if you finally landed a job interview for your dream profession, your soulmate is the first one to offer you a pep-talk and help plan your interview outfit.
-
You challenge each other. A large component of spirituality is becoming the best version of yourself, and your spiritual connection believes in that more than anything. Once you set your mind on something, they'll be the one to check in and be your cheerleader.

-
You encourage each other's spiritual journeys. You're happy to promote each other as you continue your spiritual journey. You connect best when engaging in spiritual practices such as meditation or yoga. These practices allow you to practice togetherness, which is what spirituality is about.
