Soulmates and Karmic Connections

How do we know the difference?

I have been journaling my own experience with Soulmates and Karmic Connections along with what you know about Twinflames if you followed my Blog. I really think it can be really tricky to differentiate at times but there are some distinct differences to me that I am finding so far.

Keep in mind that the attraction felt in the beginning for both Soulmate and Karmic Connection is very strong. This helps bring the two toward their call to carry out this mission with the other person. First, If you are facing a Karmic Connection you are going to, more times than not, feel it's a love/hate relationship. Maybe you feel that you love the other more than they love you, that the relationship is not reciprocated in the same way. Typically the person who doesn't seem to care or love comparitively is the one with the largest lessons.

There are also times that you will
meet someone and feel this hate for them even though you don't know them. Also, if you do attempt to form some type of relationshp or you can't avoid some form of contact (aunt, cousin, in law, coworker, etc) then you will notice that your relationship is very rocky. There is a significant "connection" that keeps you coming back but you can't figure out what it is. Imagine a long string with a dog tied to one end and a cat to the other. ;) Perhaps you both keep meeting, putting out fires and lighting new ones. This will continue until the karmic lesson/experience is fulfilled or the two part ways.

If you are seeking a romantic relationship with someone who seems to be playing "hard to get" or it feels like you are fighting to stay together. Consider breaking ties with them in the most loving way possible. A healing may be needed here. Send light and love to them and all involved and cut those psychic strings!
Why are Soulmate Encounters Different?

Soulmate encounters have a very strong attraction/connection factor. You feel you just "click" with someone instantly, romantically or not. If it is romantically there is an immediate comfortable feeling and security. You just fall in together beautifully. There is more of a sense of attraction/connection than actual "knowing". If you are thinking of Twinflames, remember Twinflames have the "mirror" factor (lots of synchronicities and mirrored personality/character), an intense connection and an immediate, innate "knowing" that the connection goes well beyond this life and time as we know it.

There will be lessons/challenges involved with a Soulmates,  as Soulmates are also Karmic Relationships but Karmic Relationships aren't always Soulmates.. They bring a part of you that you need to acknowledge and deal with. There are some relationships where this happens and they live happily ever after and others where the other partner refuses to acknowledge what needs to be addressed and chooses to walk away. Soulmate relationships bring love to one another in areas that need to be loved for each person. They are still helping you to grow. I heard a song once and it said "I will love you until you learn to love yourself". I think that sums up a Soulmate.


Soulmate encounters, and Karmic, are usually planned before incarnating but as with everything in our life, it can be "written" in as we go. This means, if you walked away from one  planned Soulmate or Karmic Relationship that the universe may supply you with an equal experience to fullfil that lesson. I believe also that you can have a Karmic Connection cross your path that may not be planned. This is usually someone you just run into by chance that gives you the feeling you know them but don't like them as mentioned previously.


***All Karmic Relationships should be met with unconditional love. This, however, does not mean that one should remain in relationships that are abusive.  Sometimes the lesson is to have enough love and respect for ourselves to know when to "fold em". All good relationships start with the unconditional LOVE AND RESPECT for self***

Attracting Love – Soul Mates and Life Partner



Jeet Lo (Win) Marathon Movie

There is something wonderful about sharing life’s journey with someone you love.  I can say that from experience, having happily celebrated my twelfth wedding anniversary yesterday. A life partner, a soul mate, a companion, lover, friend – for many of us it is one of life’s greatest gifts and pleasures.
But what do you do when you haven’t found them yet?  When you are lonely and looking and wondering if there’s anyone out there who can truly  love you for who you are, and whom you can love deeply in return…
The following formula has worked for me, and many of my friends and clients.  I trust that it can also work for you.  So read on!

Knowing what you want

The Universe works like a giant restaurant.  It will only deliver you what you order.  If you keep changing your mind, it makes it hard for those hard-working kitchen angels to create the right ‘dish’ and deliver it speedily to you.  Mixed messages are confusing for everyone, and will ultimately frustrate you in your attempts to find true love.
Most people spend more time choosing a car than they do choosing a life partner.  How often do people fall into a relationship and then try and make it over into the one they want?  We throw so much time and energy and money into trying to make square pegs fit into round holes.  Often years of our lives are spent fighting battles we were never meant to win.  Sound familiar?
Discernment is the key to successful relationships, and discernment must ALWAYS start with awareness.  Are you aware of what you want in a relationship?  For many people, their clearest opinions and decisions start out being based around what they DON’T want.  This is as good a place to start as any, as long as you are able to then turn each negative into a positive.  “I don’t want a partner who will cheat on me” becomes, “I deserve a partner who will be faithful and loyal to our relationship.”  Look to the good and unsuccessful relationships around you to guide you in making your love choices.
Journalling:  Take time to really think about the sort of partner and the type of relationship you are looking for.  As you become clearer about what you want, begin by writing the qualities and characteristics of this relationship down.  Create a “Love Shopping List”, and add to it as your awareness increases.  Take your time with this.  Do you rush into buying a house, or choosing an expensive once-in-a-lifetime holiday?  Make your list comfortable, accurate and reflective of your innermost desires.
If you meet someone who clearly does not fit what you ordered, then wait!  Maybe the Universal Chef is still cooking your meal.  (And of course they may wonderfully surpass all of your expectations!)

Activity:

I have used this method myself, and so have many of my friends and clients.  This activity involves letting the Universe know exactly what you are wanting in a love relationship so that it can deliver this to you.  In every single case that I am aware of it has been successful!  I also know of people who have refreshed and revived existing relationships using the same technique.
When you have compiled your list of characteristics and qualities for your desired partner (from the journalling activity before this one), review them until you are satisfied with your choices.
Take a clean white sheet of paper and then write the following:
“I, (Insert your name), now chose the following in my life partner:”
Now write down your list.  Finish the work by writing, “I now accept this or better in my life”.  Sign the work and set it to one side.
Take a second piece of paper.  On this piece write down all of the qualities and characteristics within YOU that you can offer a loving partner.  Be honest and humble.  Sign it with, “I offer this and better to my life partner”.  This part is important because the Universe is governed by laws of energetic exchange – you don’t get anything for nothing!
Now fold both pieces of paper and seal them in an envelope.  In your mind’s eye, imagine these pieces of paper and surround them with a pink bubble of Light.  Send them to Spirit, and whenever you think to in the future, send more pink Light to them.
Put the envelope somewhere safe, and place your expectations to one side.  Be open to what comes to you.  Spirit always surprises us with more good than we could ever imagine for ourselves.

Meditation: 
This five minute meditation will help you to consciously connect into the energy of your Soul Mate.  It works on opening your heart chakra, allowing you to radiate love into the world.
This is lovely, and describes this process perfectly.  It will also help YOU get into that wonderful ‘attracting’ vibration of joy and anticipation…

Recognising Karmic Relationships

“When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it’s because of karma, some past connection.”
~ Richard Gere

Karmic relationships are a big part of our growth. We can experience a karmic relationship with lovers, siblings, children, parents or friends, even work colleagues.
Contrary to popular opinion, not all karmic relationships are soul mate relationships.  Rather, karmic relationships happen because before we came to this life we have made a conscious choice to come together with another soul so that we can share, support, learn, heal, resolve past life issues, forgive and grow.
There are several defining characteristics of karmic relationships, but the most obvious ones are:
  • instant recognition of each other on some level, especially when there is no way you have ever met before
  • strong, and often unexplainable attraction (the sort we can’t justify to ourselves, let alone family or friends)
  • an intensity to the relationship, either positive or negative
  • a tendency for the relationship to become for a time, the most dominant or perhaps even our ONLY relationship
  • a deep emotional or physical connection, often that has an addictive quality
  • an ability to really press each other’s buttons
  • an inability to easily walk away
  • a feeling of the need to stay, even if it is hard, so that you can work through or resolve something
Usually karmic relationships serve to bring you together for a definite purpose, and once that purpose is achieved, the ‘spell’ is broken and the relationship loses its pull. Looking back you might wonder what ever brought you together – even you won’t understand it!
Many of my clients have experienced intense friendships or love relationships that taught them hard lessons, that changed them in some way, and that caused them to move in a new direction.  Often these relationships were painful, uncomfortable and a wild ride.  None of their friends or family understood why they were in that relationship, and it often made little sense to my clients either, but they couldn’t seem to help it or avoid the pull of the other person.
A large number of them then went on to find a lifelong partner, or a satisfying new life direction…
Not all relationships are difficult – some are wonderful, but last only a short time.  They buoy us up and remind us of something positive and important about ourselves, building a stronger sense of self and purpose.

Some karmic relationships will support you for your entire life, and if one person dies before the other the one who remains will not find someone to replace that love, and that feeling of deep connection will endure even if that person takes a new partner.  Note – this relationship may not be with a lover, but could also be with a friend or family member.
These enduring karmic relationships are characterised by:
  • the feeling that you understand in each in ways other people can’t
  • a feeling of loyalty and a deep bond
  • a sense of being very comfortable with the other person, as if you’ve known them forever, even if you’ve just met
  • a knowledge that you are sharing a path through life
  • a feeling of deep trust, and a knowledge that you are supported by this person
  • an easiness with one another, even if you do have issues to work through
  • an ability to truly forgive, and to move on, together
Image from www.services.flickie.com
We are all connected, often in ways we can’t possibly understand from where we are, down here. I find it incredibly reassuring, to know that love transcends time and space, and that we care enough about each other as souls to show up in each others lives over and over again.

Cosmic Ordering in your Bed Room for attracting love

Cosmic ordering in the bedroom will deal with reorganizing energies to allow full-bodied dreams and visions.  We can also cosmic order more fulfilling love and sexual pleasure by working with energies in the bedroom.
The rooms in our homes are miniature representations of the cosmic mansions of our lives.  Ergo, by altering our bedrooms, we alter the big pictures of our lives.  What kind of big pictures?
The ones that deal with the symbolism of the bedrooms such as:
  • Love
  • Sex
  • Caring
  • Restfulness
  • Dreams
  • Vision
  • Intuition
  • Psyche
  • Unconscious
  • Relationships
  • Secret knowledge
Bedrooms are symbolic of all these things.  And the attention we pay to the environment of our bedroom will affect all these areas in our lives.
So how can we begin cosmic ordering love and bright dreams in our life by adjusting our bedrooms?  Here are some tips.

Think and Speak Love

If you want love in your life, as well as your bedchambers, then maintain a consistent level of loving thoughts and speech.  Do this in the bedroom the moment you awake and just before falling asleep by speaking and thinking loving sentiments.  Keep a notebook of your favorite loving affirmations by your bedside.  Read from this before and after sleep.  It’s like programming your life for love and well-being!

See Love

The bedroom is the perfect place to display images, colors and textures that inspire you to love.  Robe your bedroom in rich, sultry linens and window treatments.  Choose soothing fabrics that appeal to your inner sensuality.  Select colors that spark your creativity as well as passion.  It doesn’t require a lot of money.  You can even borrow items from nature in your decorating.
For example, I once decorated my bedroom with shells I collected at the beach.  This was perfect because shells come from the water, and water is symbolic of emotions as well as dreams.  Seeing these surrounding me in the bedroom augmented my dream life (and made my love life rather dreamy too!).  Even a bit of paint can be an inexpensive way to revitalize the bedroom and open the door for love and expansive intuition in your life.

Smell the Love

Certain scents trigger the energy of love.  Odor can also have a tremendous effect on our psychic/intuitive practices too.  Use aromatic oils (infusers), incense and scented candles to release a whole host of olfactory sensations geared to jumpstart your love engines.  Scents like lilac, lavender, rose, honeysuckle and jasmine are perfect starters.

Turn on your Love Light

Candles in the bedroom are essential to opening up our intuitive vision as well as fueling our romantic inclinations.  Fire is an element symbolic of passion, desire, clarity, warmth and vision.  Choose colored candles that make you feel safe, loved and calm.  You can also select scented candles to enhance your desired intent.

Feel the Love

Open up the windows of your bedroom.  Do so every day if you can, or at least once a week.  Even in the winter.  Doing so will bring a sense of rejuvenation and freshness to the room – this will help to insure more pleasant dreaming too.  Also, avoid clutter at all costs.  Clutter in the bedroom will guarantee obstacles in your love life (disagreements, confusion, misunderstanding).
Clutter will also inhibit dreams and prophetic insight.  Why? Because the bedroom is a small example of the larger life experience.  Ergo, clutter in the bedroom translates to clutter in the mind – and this clutter will prohibit the freedom of intuition, dreams and psychic ability.
I hope you have enjoyed these thoughts on cosmic ordering in the bedroom to attract love and fuller dreams/intuition.

Love Yourself


Jeet Lo (Win) Marathon Movie

Love, in a way, is the biggest karmic lesson for us all. I was raised with the idea that there’s one soul mate, one relationship, one marriage – and then when you find that marriage and that relationship, you live happily ever after and everything is perfect.
Sometimes it works just like that.  But for many of us, we get involved in relationships where there is an imbalance of energy, where one person loves the other person more, or where one person wants one thing, and the other person wants something else.   At such times we can end up thinking, “hang on a minute! It’s not supposed to be like this! This is painful! This is devastating!”
It’s at those very times when we need to remember that relationships come along for many reasons.  When relationships don’t work, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have a karmic connection with that person, and it doesn’t mean that we weren’t meant to have that relationship. It can mean that we have encountered a relationship the purpose of which was to help our soul grow, to help us expand and even to learn to love ourselves.
Having a good relationship with yourself is actually essential to loving someone else. Difficult relationships can shine a light on where we don’t love ourselves and reveal the work we need to do.
So if you find yourself in a difficult relationship, or coming out of one, ask yourself, how do you actually feel about yourself? What is your relationship to yourself, and your relationship to your inner-voice? Do you love yourself? Do you speak kindly to yourself? Do you treat yourself kindly? Would you fall in love with you?  Are you being loving towards yourself?
All love begins with self love, and many relationships come into our lives to show us that fundamental truth.

Karmic Connection

Jeet Lo (Win) Marathon Movie

I was talking with a friend the other day who is in one of those intense, on-off relationships that are brilliant for losing weight but play havoc with your peace of mind.  Even though she was talking to me, she was obviously elsewhere and admitted that she was totally consumed by the detail of every moment that they spent together and floored by the agony it caused when they were apart.
There was clearly a strong karmic link in this relationship that made it even more compelling, but karma brings people together for many reasons.  It could be that the purpose of their karmic link was to help her learn about the temptations and dangers involved in totally giving all of your power to another person.
We are here to love but not to lose ourselves completely in love. Even in long term relationships, it’s important to practice letting go and taking time out to honour yourself.  You should still follow your own bliss and be able to be happy in your own company.  Doing this creates a space that allows the other person to step forward and recreate the passion that brought you together over and over again.  By continually clinging on, you lose that you that attracted your partner in the first place and run the risk of letting the energy between you go stale.  Letting go feels risky, but it isn’t really.  It’s far riskier to cling on to something and force it into a stalemate of dependency, or even towards total collapse.
How do you stay in your own power, even when love has knocked you for six?  At least once a week, so something for you, either alone or with your friends.  Instead of eating in front of the television, lay yourself a place, light candles and make it an occasion.  Buy yourself a beautiful bunch of flowers.  Go see a film that makes you laugh or read a book that inspires you. Honour the fact that you are absolutely unique and worthy of attention and the world – and your beloved – will mirror that back to you.

Love Dilemma

My boyfriend ended our relationship out of the blue last year and, even though I know I should have moved on by now, I just can’t. What should I do?

Michele Says

You could meet your perfect partner on the bus tomorrow – but what would be the point?  The universe can’t bring in new love when you’re stuck in the old.  Perform a ritual of letting go.  Take a piece of paper and write out everything that you feel – all the love, all the pain, all the grief. Then take something that represents him, such as a photograph, and burn everything, saying as you do, “I release you to the universe and send you on with blessings. I open myself to new love.’  If you can, bury the ashes of the fire somewhere they won’t be dug up!  You might feel an outpouring of emotions as you do this ritual, but the energy should shift!

Candle Magic

I adore these gorgeous smelling Reiki candlesthat are designed to attract and magnify love in your life. At home, I burn candles every night and often when I take a bath.  Every time I light a candle I turn it into a little ritual, saying a short blessing or a prayer for something I want for myself or someone I love.  If you do that, it’s best to stick to wishing for things like love, joy or healing.  When friends come round for dinner we always light one candle each in our candelabra and make our silent wishes and prayers before sitting down to eat!

Quotes to Lift Your Heart

I love this quote from Marianne Williamson, “Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”

Tantric Tip

As love begins with the self, I thought we’d start with self love!  Make a date with you, treat yourself to some fabulous rose scented massage oil (or put a few drops of rose essential oil in a light oil, such as almond oil) and give yourself a top to toe massage.  Be present in your body and make love to yourself.  Feel what relaxes you and what turns you on.  It isn’t essential that you make this a sexual experience.  The important thing is that you experience yourself and treat your body as sacred.  Celebrate your own divinity.  If you find that doing this brings up powerful emotions of not feeling good enough or hating certain parts of your body, hold yourself as tenderly as you would hold someone else and stay with the feelings until they pass. Do this on a regular basis to build a loving, healthy relationship with your own body so that when you do share it with someone else you can do it with complete joy!

Let Go Karmic Relationship






In my life I’ve been involved in quite a few intense relationships and I would say I’ve had a few past-life relationships which were very intense and made me face up to a lot of deep-rooted issues. A lot of the time, people confuse soulmates, past-life connections and addiction.
If that sounds a bit dramatic, read on.
There are people that we have relationships with where tell ourselves that we’re in love and that we’ve met our soul mate because we’re thinking about that person all the time or tuning into their feelings when actually what we’re dealing with is a kind of addiction. You know that you’re dealing with addiction rather than real love when you feel that you simply couldn’t live without that other person and when the thought of being without them is too terrifying to even think about.  That kind of love that actually knocks you off of your path, but it can also be the kind of love that teaches you something.
In contrast, past life relationships can be just as intense, but there is a particular kind of familiar feeling about them.  I’ve bumped into two people in this life that I know I’ve had previous past-life relationships with. When you meet someone that you had a past-life relationship with, you it often feels as if that person is your soulmate because you know them with a profound feeling of recognition, you understand each other, you have more of a bond when you’re separate from each other and you can kind of feel where they are.
Past life relationships can be confusing at best and hell at their worst.  They are confusing because they can they often involve ecstasy and agony.  There can be so much intensity between you.  You might even share all sorts of spiritual experiences such as telepathy or seeing colours when you make love. But such relationships are usually plagued with  problems.  It’s like you’re repeating the same relationship you might have had in ten lives with that person.  It’s obviously very potent and intense magic.  Even if you don’t see them for ten years you can feel this complete and utter bond, because in a way it’s a timeless bond.
Sometime, those relationships are not meant for this life, however, and it may be that your learning in this life is to let go of that so that you can find the right energy for you. It’s hard, because people find it very difficult to let go of that intoxicating experience, even though, in most cases, those kind of relationships will never work – it’s always ecstasy and agony and drama.
When you’re in that experience it’s very difficult for you to think that it’s not for you, because you’re determined to fit that square peg in that round hole, and make it work but it all comes back to your relationship with you.  If you are your best friend and you love you, you’re not going to let yourself go through that trauma all of the time. And ultimately it’s about actually believing that you are worthy of a relationship that is worthy of you – a relationship that nurtures you, a relationship that is equal. A relationship that doesn’t destroy your heart, and take away with your self-esteem.
In contrast, and despite anything else that you might have heard anywhere else, soul mate relationships just tend to work.  When you meet soulmate, you get on, you may have a few struggles, but fundamentally you click.  It’s a functioning relationship, and you have each others’ best interests at heart.
Not all soul mates are destined to be lovers, either.  If you have a friendship or you have a connection that’s absolutely stunningly beautiful, and pure and delightful, and you merge together, it could also be a soul mate connection.
So if you’re confused about whether the person you’re involved with or have your heart set on is a soul mate, a past life connection with some karma to work through or an outright addiction, just ask yourself:  Does this relationship bring me peace? Does it work?  Are we better people for being in it? Does it allow me to be my best me?  If the answer is yes, it could be a soul mate relationship.  If your answers are no, then it’s likely to be a past life connection and only you can make the decision to set yourself free.
