Attracting kindred souls!
Deep friendships take years to nurture and develop and often go through many transitions but not always. Think about the friends in your life. How much time do you actually spend with them? Would you like to spend more time with them? Why aren’t you doing it?
Unless we make friends a priority it’s difficult to deepen them. We’ll always be busy with other things and think that we don’t have time to get together. And with our mobile society, we find ourselves in new situations that weren’t as common years ago.
This is not a bad thing and is ripe with many opportunities to explore. With the new people we come in contact with we don’t have a history or story to share. Because of this we live more in the present moment and together develop a common ground to explore.
Connection has become a priority in my life. There is nothing more satisfying than meeting someone and knowing that there is a soul connection. Not a whole lot needs to be said. And when it is said you know you are being heard.
You think to yourself that you are in the presence of a kindred soul. This type of experience has become more common in my life. It makes me think at times that on some level we are all kindred souls trying to find each other.
We won’t be able to recognize this phenomenon when we are looking in all of the wrong places. Our journey is to discard the baggage that prevents us from experiencing who we really are. And once we are able to tune into ourselves on a much deeper level, we are able to tune into that place in others. In yoga the expression to describe this knowing is NAMASTE.
The bigger question is what can we do to access this deeper level. I think what you hear about today is to be authentic…I use to call it “being real”…Only when we’re true to ourselves can we recognize that truth in others.
As we constantly evolve we’re able to access more of our true nature. We raise our vibration and attract other kindred spirits who are on the same path. We are all in this together. We want more connection in our life. Connecting with a power greater than ourself is the first step.
In the April edition of my newsletter, Letters on Life, I discuss in more detail what we can do to cultivate connection in our lives. You can sign up for it on this page.
