The Difference Between Soulmates and Life Partners

Everyone wants to meet their Soulmate. In fact, one of the most common questions I receive in my readings and coaching sessions is- “When am I going to meet my Soulmate?”

We have many Soulmates in this life but their purpose is all the same- they are here to challenge and awaken us so our soul can evolve into a higher state of consciousness.

Our Soulmates always arrive when we are ready for them and not a moment sooner. They arrive when we are ready to learn the lessons that we were destined to fulfill.

Soulmate relationships are often not forever, this is because sometimes the relationship can be too intense or there is a certain karmic energy to the relationship that sees it come to a close once the necessary lessons have been learnt.

Soulmates can also be friends and relatives; they don’t always have to be romantic partners. Regardless of this, you will always feel a strong, energetic connection or a past life history together.

Many of us spend years obsessing about meeting a Soulmate, but fail to notice what we are really asking for. When we ask for a Soulmate we are really asking to grow and develop in consciousness, and not understanding this can sometimes block the energy from coming to us.

If you really want to connect with a Soulmate, you need to align with your own soul. You need to discover who you are, honor yourself and begin following your heart. When you align with your true self, you are then instantly in the vibration of meeting your soul-mate.

Alternatively, if you are done with the soul lessons for now and are just looking for a companion to share the rest of your life with, what you want to be asking for, or manifesting is your Life Partner.

A Life Partner is more like a companion or friend that you feel a strong connection to. It may not be a deep, soul connection like a soul mate, but there would be a mutual feeling of trust, understanding and respect. A life partner is someone who is dependable and considerate of your needs and wants. Of course, a life partner is also someone that you are attracted to and that you love and care for.

While you will still be learning lessons from a life partner, they are more about lending support and giving you a guiding hand as you navigate through your own soul journey.

Meeting your Life Partner is usually not something you spiritually or energetically prepare yourself for like you would with a soulmate. Instead it requires emotional and mental preparation and physically putting yourself out there.

It is possible to have your Soulmate also be your Life Partner and it is also possible that you and your Life Partner can develop a deeper, soul connection- it all just depends on which direction you choose to steer.

Soul Mate: Someone who is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you in order for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness. Once the lesson has been learnt, physical separation usually occurs.

Life Partner: A companion, a friend, a stable and secure individual who you can lean on, trust and depend on to help you through life. There is a mutual feeling of love and respect and you are both in sync with each others needs and wants.

Here are the different characteristics of each relationship:

Soulmate Relationship

  • You feel a deep, spiritual connection to this person almost like you have known them for a long time.

  • You have flashbacks or deja vu moments where you feel that you have been together before.

  • You seem to understand each other and have a similar way of thinking.

  • You may have similar flaws or habits, or you both had similar challenges during childhood.

  • Your connection is intense and so too is the relationship. Often it can move from extreme highs to extreme lows.

  • You feel in sync with each other even when you are not physically together. There may be a feeling of having to team up together to conquer something.

  • You know intuitively what the other is thinking or feeling. You feel very in-tune and connected with their thoughts and actions.

  • Your relationship is emotional, challenging and can bring things out in you that you didn’t know existed.

  • You may experience huge shifts and changes in your life when you first meet this person.

  • Your relationship may not last forever but the love is always there.

Life Partner Relationship

  • You feel attracted to each other physically and resonate with each others values.

  • You enjoy getting to know each other and learn about your differences and similarities- everything about each other feels new and exciting.

  • You get along like best friends- your relationship does not suffer from extremes.

  • Your relationship is based on logical or intellectual decisions.

  • You resonate with each others beliefs, ideas or religion/philosophy.

  • You both feel a sense of financial and emotional stability by being together.

  • Your relationship is based on being physically present and creating new memories.

  • You feel the need to marry or start a family in order to ‘cement’ your relationship.

At different times of our lives we will need and want different types of relationships. Neither is better or worse than the other, it is all a personal decision and one that you will feel guided to as long as you are following your heart.

Plant Spirit Guide

I am a shamanic plant practitioner working through my family lineage of Slavic traditional witches, a certified herbalist, permaculture designer and work intimately with Plant Spirits. Everyone has a special Plant Spirit that they are attuned to and intuitively work with, whether they are aware of it or not. At times in our lives certain plants will reach out to us, they have knowledge to share, messages from our ancestral lineages, or wish to share their medicines with us. You might feel drawn to a certain tree or plant and then find out that you have a health condition that plant has the power to help heal. The world of plants is intimately connected to the world of humans.

I will shamanic journey to the Otherworld and see which Plant Spirits are around you that are resonating with your energy at this time and wish to come through with their medicine and messages.

Please provide me with a recent photo of yourself and if you have any plants, or trees that you have been attracted to recently, and wish to understand more of what they are trying to communicate, you are encouraged to share that as well. As part of my intuitive reading,included as well is pertinent facts and details of the plants in question; their medicinal values, how to work with them, ecology, folklore and perhaps even past life connections they have to you and your family line.

I will provide you with your main Plant Spirit guide that comes through in my journey as well as any others that may be as well. I will share some rituals, meditations, herbalist teachings or anything else that might help you in connecting and gaining a deeper understanding of your Plant Spirit Guide at this time.

I look forward to facilitating this step into the enchanted realms with you!

Nature Connection Guide

Do you feel that Nature is trying to communicate with you? Do you have a connection to certain, trees, plants, or animals and wondering what that means for you? The Natural world is full of Otherworldly messengers, from the Elemental Beings, Nature Spirits, Animal Spirits, Fae and others who are constantly in communication with us through the veils between our world and theirs. In this 1 hour session, I intuitively help guide you with the help of your Spirit Guides, to help you understand what the beings of Nature are wishing to communicate with you and how you can create a deeper bond of connection to them. I would also be happy to guide you to rituals, meditations, protections (if need be) and the use of herbs and plant spirit allies that would be of assistance to you.

I look forward to assisting you on your enchanted journey with the Spirits of Nature!
