What are Soul Contracts within the Akashic Records?
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Akashic Record: Tap into the Timeless Wisdom of the Universe (Complete Idiot’s Guides (Lifestyle Paperback)) talks about Soul Mates and Soul Contracts. Do people truly come together for past life reasons?
The book has some surprisingly useful information in it, despite the title!
This book covers Soul Mates being together under the following circumstances:-
- Soul Mates
- Twin Souls
- Unrequited Love
- Difficult Relationships
- Lack of Relationship
- Family Ties
- Parents, Siblings, and Children.
Soul Contracts are pre-life agreements that result in the high likelihood of people meeting or even reincarnating together.
The reason that Souls connect through Soul Contracts is to work out karma and to grow as individual souls.
The Soulmate Soul Contract
Soul Mates get together to work out karmic interactions from a previous life. Souls can have lived multiple previous lives together.
There may be an electromagnetic draw between Soul Mates, who seem to ‘know’ each other. Sometimes, there is a familiar feeling that draws people together.
Watch out when this happens!
Trauma can draw people together too, and sometimes a familiar, family-like feeling can be because a person has patterns of abuse that attract a previously abused partner.
Often, clients can confuse the two, but this can be clarified during an Akashic Reading.
When you get that drawing or attracting feeling to someone, figure out which it is, a past-life connection or present life potential trauma bonding.
Do Twin Souls exist?
Twin Souls, or Twin Flames, are much rarer than we give them credit for. The Idiot’s Guide to the Akashic Records talks about twin souls being a ‘split’ soul.
I don’t agree with that definition of Twin Souls, simply because I have never yet read for a soul who is ‘split’ in over 14 years of giving readings.
What I have discovered is that Souls can hold a part or fragment of another soul because of trauma bonding in a specific lifetime – or even the present lifetime.
These fragments can be released to the other soul as part of the 21-day prayer created for the Soul Star Reading.
This clearing and release results in more vital force energy for both souls and a release of karma.
What are Twin Souls here to do?
I believe Twin Souls connect because they create special energy to create an unusual result in our world.
Imagine Twin Souls who can resonate in amazing ways and effortlessly create together.
I like to think of Chip and Joanna Gaines as twin souls. (Fixer Upper, Magnolia).
Joanna Gaines says in her book The Magnolia Story that she has noticed an usual type of energy between her and Chip that helps them create together.
As I said, I believe that Twin Souls are here to create positivity and new ideas and work on special projects for evolution.
Whatever you believe about the Twin Soul concept, this idea is more empowering than being split and eternally lost.
Souls are already perfect, so why would they break themselves simply to find each other again? This sounds more like a human construct to me.
A Soul Contract can result in unrequited love
Many of us have experienced unrequited love of another soul in this life or other lives.
Why do we put ourselves through this painful experience as a soul?
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Akashic Record: Tap into the Timeless Wisdom of the Universe (Complete Idiot’s Guides (Lifestyle Paperback)) suggests that we contract into unrequited love relationships for several reasons.
From the Akashic perspective, relationships are seen as gifts to help us learn more about ourselves. The Beloved is a mirror for our soul.
We can consider, with unrequited love:-
- Why did we choose a person who won’t return our love? What are we being challenged to develop?
- Is this a wake-up call to develop our inner self-love and validation?
- Perhaps we are working on an aspect of ourselves that still believes we don’t deserve love.
- Is this an opportunity to heal self-love?
Difficult Relationships Can Be a Soul Contract
As hard as it sounds, we can create a contract to repeat challenging or difficult relationships in our next life.
The intention from the Soul’s perspective is to help raise our soul vibration rate and evolve.
We may have responsibilities as souls to clear generational karma from past lives. We can also incarnate to become more conscious about relationships and to clear past life karmic actions.
Generational karma comes from the family line we have incarnated into.
Past-life relationship karma will create an attraction to partners that help us clear these exact patterns. Then, we can grow from those experiences.
Repeating an abusive pattern to clear it
Souls may even repeat abusive patterns by repeatedly picking an abusive partner.
Abusive partners may continue to repeat abusive patterns and fail to connect emotionally with others.
Once they can move past these trauma-based responses, they will learn how to release their trauma from this life or past lives.
I’m not saying here that any abuse is OK just because there is a soul-level directive to experience it.
We all know that people have trauma and need to heal themselves in some way. Healing has to happen before they can stop being abusive to themselves or others.
Abusive or challenging relationships can be from: –
- a past life
- present life
- or generational (from our DNA line).
Whatever the reason for experiencing abusive or challenging relationships, take a multi-level approach to healing.
Intimate relationships didn’t work out for you?
Perhaps you have experienced a lack of rewarding intimate relationships in this life.
It’s possible that intimate relationships are being blocked until you learn to love yourself.
A bitter pill to swallow. Some souls incarnate purely with the intention or Life Theme of getting to know themselves. It’s a huge Life Lesson to know and love the self first.
I have been through two marriages that didn’t work out. Now in later life, I am working hard on raising my soul vibration rate.
I have a Soul Aspect that indicates I understand relationships very well.
However, what I most need to work on this time is the ability to set good relationship boundaries. I have repeatedly let people into my life who aren’t good for me.
Being too kind in relationships!
I came into this world lacking an innate understanding of the level of negativity that some people prefer to live and operate from. This is partly because of my Soul Group of origin.
I see the potential and possibilities that people have. I sometimes have trouble focusing on the existing negativity in a person! Not every soul is ready to grow in this lifetime, or even the next 20 lifetimes, for that matter.
This innate ability to identify possibilities and potentials works great for me as a Spiritual Coach and Akashic Reader. It works great for clients, too!
When it comes to intimate partners, my learning in this lifetime so far is to begin to understand that potential is just that – potential.
It isn’t where a person is now, nor does it define how they will behave with me in the present.
I am working hard on understanding other people’s actions and behaviors in the present time.
This is helping me to be much more informed. When I am ready to partner with somebody again, I will have a better frame of reference and make different choices.
Family Ties that Bind Between Lifetimes
Family dynamics are here to help us resolve this part of our journey as Souls, as hard as this may be to hear! Soul Contracts can be a part of those dynamics.
There tends to be a powerful focus on intimate or love relationships in the Western world.
It’s taken me many years to realize that family relationships are as important to soul growth as intimate ones are.
Souls spend time around a family before they decide to join it. The Soul will review family dynamics to check if they are a match for the patterns the soul wants to work out and clear.
When I was born into my family, I often wondered if I had been left on the doorstep by the fairies! I felt so different from my family and would watch certain behaviors and wonder why on Earth they bothered to engage with them.
On the other hand, in later life, I resonated strongly with the psychic aspects I inherited from my mother’s line.
This was not accepted in her lifetime by my mother.
My father also experienced deep philosophical and artistic yearnings. He was unable to realize his creative dreams in his lifetime. His creativity was restricted by his chosen career as a production engineer.
As a soul on your journey, observe and learn more about your family dynamics. They will help you grow and also help you to improve other relationships in the future.
Parents, Siblings, and Children Together on the Journey
Because of my Soul Group of origin, I was very different from my other family members.
As a wanderer Soul (not originally from Earth) I have experienced other lifetimes in other Solar Systems, so it stands to reason that I would feel out of place and different here on Earth.
However, as an Oracle and Seer in other lifetimes, my mother and I have a powerful, energetic connection that we were able to resolve later in life and with her passing.
Her instructions as she began to transition were to ‘write what I know‘. I have begun to understand that we had Soul Contracts to bring this part of my life into being.
Family Dynamics
So, as you can see, family dynamics can be a huge source of soul growth on the journey.
As previously mentioned my father was a production engineer and was talented in mathematics and physics.
He was able to earn his degree at night school and then teach other people physics during evening classes to make an extra income.
What he truly desired in life was to become a woodcarver and to create pieces for people to buy.
He carved lamps for our house, which I loved and always remember looking at when I was a child.
Learn about your parents’ and siblings’ wishes and desires in life. You may find some soul lessons there.
And, as for children, as many parents know, they are the biggest challenge for all of us.
