SOUL FRIENDS

What are Soul Friends?  Soul Friends are like Glass Wing Butterflies: fragile, exquisite, rare.  Soul Friends are like mirrors in which you can see your best self, reflected.  When you are having a conversation with a Soul Friend, you feel more expansive, more intelligent, more at home with your deepest and truest self.  A Soul Friend never makes you feel “less than”, apologetic for who you are, not good enough, guilty, inadequate, unwanted or unneeded. A Soul Friend is at all times there for you, through the horrible times, and in the triumphs, with no judgment, no criticism, no demeaning remarks, no false praise.  A Soul Friend brings an indescribable energy into your life, an energy which is dynamic, positive, hopeful, affirming. Instead of focusing on your current crisis, the Soul Friend will support you in seeing all the opportunities that you can harvest from whatever seems to be going wrong, and will bring instant, constructive and creative support.  If you have fallen into a deep dark well, your Soul Friend will not only let down a rope ladder, but will send down a bouquet of roses and a bag of chocolate chip cookies, and sing to you while you are climbing back up to daylight.  A Soul Friend is someone you can call in the middle of the night without apologies or hesitation, and cry your eyes out if you feel as though your world has just fallen apart. A Soul Friend will meet you anytime, anywhere if asked, and will be there with you for as long as needed for you to regain your peace of mind.  How does one attract such extraordinary beings?  How does one bring these rare, priceless, beautiful creatures into one’s life?  It is simple: to attract Soul Friends, practice Soul Friendship with abandon, with delight, with no thought of return, with no agenda, with no strings or conditions or reservations. You will begin to notice something wondrous. Your true Soul Friends will begin showing up, invisibly at first, quietly, without show or fanfare. You will realize that there is a true Soul Friend over here, and another one over there. Shimmering wings! Kindness. Gentleness. Humor. They will appear in surprising ways when you least expect them. And as your Soul Friends start filling up your life, you will know, with a calm and clear certainty, that you will never be alone again.
