How to Know If A Soul Connection Is Karmic, A Twin Flame Or A Past Life Soul Contract?
Immediate Soul connections can seem romantic, or meant to be – how can we spot the true ones?

What is a Soul Connection?
A soul connection is that deep feeling of recognition when you meet someone for the first time…
A sense of shared experiences or aligned goals, even though you’ve only just crossed paths…
Backgrounds that are either strikingly similar or opposite—but somehow open both your hearts and create an even deeper resonance.
It’s an opportunity to grow.
A chance to see life through another’s eyes, especially when they already seem to understand who you truly are.
Deep soul resonance can show up as peaceful bonding, deep friendship, a passionate romantic affair, a long-term relationship, or even marriage. Everyone experiences them differently.
And suppose the deep intimacy is about a friendship, rather than an intimate style of relationship. In that case, we can recognize a sibling, grandparent, or other family member as being this, as well as a friend or work colleague.

Karmic, Twin Flame, or Past Life Contract?
Some soul connections relate to karmic patterns your Soul is ready to release. Karmic patterns in relationships can often show up with a lot of chemistry, which is seen as good! The truth is, our Souls are magnetized to each other so that we can work out a particular pattern more quickly. Usually, this relationship has problems and may end with a quick burnout.
You may find an unusually matched Soul for you – called a Twin Flame – but this is rare. Usually, Twin Flames have a unique Soul contract with each other that relates to helping many people, and it has nothing to do with romantic feelings or finding the ‘perfect’ partner. The mission is much greater than that.
Mostly common of all, we have all lived quite a few lifetimes with other, different Souls, and sometimes we revisit a relationship with them in present life to let go of an old Soul Contract related to taking care of each other – just like a marriage that has finally run its course for both people.
You can clear Soul Contracts and other blocks and restrictions from your Akashic Records with the Soul Star Reading (for new clients). If you’ve had this reading already, then the Life Situation Reading will take you to the next, deeper level.
When Soul Connections Aren’t Easy
We often imagine that finding a relationship like this will always feel magical. And in the beginning, when you’re in harmony and resonance with each other, sometimes it does.
But then…
Something shifts.
Something snaps, breaks, or falls away.
Suddenly, you’re left confused, disappointed, or facing a relationship that doesn’t look anything like what you thought it was.
If it’s a romantic soul connection, this can feel like “make or break” time. It can also feel like this if a deep friendship or a family connection has gone sour.
What’s Going on Here?
Maybe you still do have that connection—just not in the way you expected. When you meet someone who activates you so profoundly, it can open a whole can of spiritual worms.
The True Healing Purpose of Soul Connections
With a soul connection, one of you is the key and the other is the lock. You fit perfectly, life feels full… and that lifelong yearning for “something more” seems to dissolve in the presence of this person.
Heaven on Earth, at least some of the time.
But intense relationships like this aren’t just about comfort. They’re also about personal healing.
We connect energetically with the people who are meant to be our mirrors. They reflect the parts of ourselves to us that we’re ready to heal—even the parts we’d rather not revisit or change.
For example:
If you had a distant father or mother, it’s incredibly common to attract a partner who becomes emotionally distant after the initial spark wears off. Suddenly, you’re right back in that old feeling of inadequacy or longing you thought you’d outgrown.
The soul you are interacting with is holding up a mirror.
They’re not trying to hurt you. At the Soul level, they’re simply playing their part in your healing.
Seeing Soul Connections In A New Way
So how will you respond this time?
Being endlessly lovable won’t magically pull an emotionally distant person closer. They’re accustomed to distance, and that is what their Soul is trying to teach you. Instead, soul connections invite you to dig deeper into your own inner wisdom and revisit the past one final time.
Ask yourself:
- What is my Soul trying to heal here?
- What might be coming up for them, just as old wounds are coming up for me?
- Which behaviors or patterns am I mirroring back that they least want to see?
As you begin to cultivate energetic awareness, the healing can truly begin—and the soul connection often deepens in a more grounded, authentic way.
Or, sadly, it could finish. Sometimes, the other person doesn’t have the emotional bandwidth to create the depth of connection you are looking for from them.
Learn about Soul Connections from Past Lives with an Akashic Relationship Reading (this is appropriate for a current relationship, or one that has finished).
Your Soul Connections as Mirrors
Think about the people you’ve met who offer you a clear mirror of your own healing journey. Soul connections are rarely random—they’re invitations.
Who in your life has challenged you, expanded you, or revealed something essential about your inner world?
When you start to see relationships this way, even the most intense ones that you are grieving or realizing you will have to let go, you’ll create the greatest soul connection of all. The connection with your own soul.

One way to deepen your soul connection is to begin working with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (also known as your intuition).
If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.
This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –
- Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
- Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
- Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.
