Soul Agreements

Did you ever meet someone for the first time and feel an immediate connection? Maybe it was something in her eyes, or in his smile...or the way you felt so comfortable. I tell my clients that special connection is simply "two old souls reuniting." Sometimes it's a little more. Sometimes it's a Soul Agreement.

"J" came to see me due to an array of mixed feelings; deep sadness, grief, confusion, and a profound sense of fear. We uncovered her feelings of confusion - she was in love with 2 men. Her feelings of deep sadness, grief, and fear stemmed from a Soul Agreement she made lifetimes ago with one of them.

So what actually is a Soul Agreement and why did they make one?

A Soul Agreement is a contract that two souls have if a deep loving spiritual connection is between them. They have travelled many life times together. These souls have the trust like innocent children and unconditional love that has been earned and shared through life times. They have vowed to help each other grow and develop for both their highest good.

When "J" first met him she was shaken to her core. She knew she liked him immediately but was confused about why she found herself thinking
about him all the time. Confused about why he felt so "familiar". Confused about why the chemistry was so strong. That's why she booked a session with me. Many past lives came up. They were family members, spouses, best friends, mostly happy lives except for one. In one life they were lovers who could not be together...so they killed themselves.

After the past lives, the processing took place with the help from her guides and angels. This is where we learned about the Soul Agreement.

Both "J" and her lover entered into this life with a fear of love and loss which resulted in fears of intimacy and emotionally broken relationships.

They just dealt with their fears differently. "He runs from his fears" and "I run towards them". Their Soul Agreement was to teach each other how to open and heal their hearts. To learn how to love and heal from the loss.

This is where karma comes in to play....unfinished business.
Again, in this life, they can not be together. The lesson then, is to heal the karma by being together in a joyous relationship that is acceptable to both but not necessarily romantic. They literally have a lifetime to work it out and heal.

I'm sure they will because "J" has emailed me since with periodic updates. Her spiritual lover visits in her dream state and deep meditations to tell her how he truly feels. On a conscious level, they are slowly becoming friends. So I guess you can say they are following their Soul Agreement in their time.

So how about you? Do you have a Soul Agreement?

Taking Risks

It's scary to take risks, isn't it? That's what I was thinking when I was standing in front of two new potential business associates a few weeks ago. I wasn't even there for 10 minutes when it started to happen. We were talking business. Our conversation had not even begun to get into the heart of it when I started to hear the male voice inside me persistently say, "CARLOS, CARLOS, CARLOS". I tried to ignore him, but the more I shrugged him off the louder he got.
I felt like Whoopie Goldberg in the movie Ghost (the scene when Patrick Swazie is singing 100 bottles of beer on the wall). I finally gave in... I took the risk and asked the question to the older woman, "Do you by any chance know a Carlos?" She looked shocked and then stared at the other woman. She then said, "Carlos is my late husband."

Since I just met these two women I didn't want them to think I was "peculiar" so I imediately went straight back to our business discussion. My vision was then distored by seeing a red jacket or dress with ornate buttons on the older woman. (In reality she was wearing a blue sweater) but all I could see was this red dress. It was so overwhelming that I couldn't concentrate. I wanted to ask them about what I was seeing but I was so afraid of what they would think of me. I was so afraid of looking and feeling like a fool....of making a bad impression...of taking a risk! Then I heard the name "Christina" but felt very strongly that I wasn't suppose to mention her name at all.

After 5 minutes of pretending to be listening, I broke down and said, "I am so sorry. I am going to apologize upfront for what I am about to ask you. I haven't heard a word either one of you have said because all I can see is a red jacket or dress with very ornate buttons...." The two women were dumbfounded. The older woman looked at me and said, "That's the red dress I wore when I first met my husband, Carlos. Today is my first day back at work. I've been in a terrible depression since my daughter died. I wanted to die myself. I am in shock that Carlos has come to me? Do you think he is with our daughter?"

I told her, " Of course, he is. Love never dies."

This woman received tremendous comfort because her late husband literally pushed me out of my comfort zone. I thank God literally that I relunctantly but gratefully took a risk that provided healing and service for someone in need...and gave a valuable lesson to me.

So, if you're getting insight into a situation and you don't know whether you should or shouldn't say anything...Ask your angels for guidance. You will know by the way you "feel". Listen to your body. Carlos made it very clear to me that "taking the risk" was the right thing the do. Even though my "ego" was afraid, I wasn't feeling "alarmed" or the need to run away. I still felt "safe". That is the difference.
