Aligning with and Attracting Our Soul Group

By Lori Lines

 Many clients mention the yearning for connection with like-minded people because, in this age of social media, political divisiveness, and information overload, we are disconnected more than ever. But that doesn't have to be the case, if one is open and willing to put down the smartphones, close down their laptops, and take responsibility for making a few changes. 

Several years ago I moved back to my hometown after being gone for several years. Though there were still a few people I knew from my old school days, I had grown in a different direction and I didn't have much in common with most of them anymore.

After settling in, I decided it was time to find my soul tribe of like-minded individuals. I attended a few meet-up groups before I settled in on one. From that point on, I met a few wonderful, like-minded folks that have become a core soul-group...these people have been there through thick and thin and I feel so blessed to have them in my life.

Attracting our soul group is an important part of the journey to accessing inner peace and a more productive and joy-filled life.  Finding that group of individuals who truly "get" us can completely enrich our lives.  

What I've learned is by understanding who you are and sharing similar values and beliefs helps ensure that you will be able to speak for hours and enjoy your connections.

While finding them can be challenging, here are some tips to help you attract your soul group and enjoy a more satisfying life:

• Know you want it:  If you are looking for your soul group, then you need to put it out there, take some action and let the Universe know that you are looking for a change.  If you understand and believe your tribe is out there waiting for you then you will discover them or they will discover you! I always go by the theory that what you want, wants you. So, go to places and do things that interest YOU.

• Make room in your life for new:  Sometimes it's necessary to let go of people and things that, for some reason or another, weigh us down. Take an honest look at your life. Is there someone or something pulling at your energy that is a source of aggravation?  Have you outgrown certain people or situations? Do you hoard physical and emotional remnants of past loves and friends that are no longer? Is there enough time and energy to give to new friends and new adventures? Sometimes we have to let go and clear the emotional, physical, energetic clutter in our lives to make the space for new. Letting go does not mean you can't like or love them anymore. Letting go does not diminish anything or anyone, it just means you are moving forward in your life.

• Be Authentic. Meaning, be comfortable with YOU:  This may take some work before you get out there and take action. Before your people can discover the real you, you need to know who you are and to be comfortable with who that is.  Be happy with the way you look, embrace your personality, know your worth. Also, can you BE what you are looking for in another? If so, you are ready.

• Careful of the ego:  While you do need to embrace and love yourself, it is important to keep your ego in check.  To find your soul group, it's important to understand how you belong and can work together as equals with other people. Since I'm innately shy, I've trained myself to remember that if I feel uncomfortable, the other person is probably just like me, blurring that sense of separateness that can get in the way of getting to know someone special. 

• Don't Judge:  This can be hard for some.  Just as we should keep our ego in check, we should not judge other people based on superficial matters such as what they are wearing, what kind of work they do, or what their hair looks like.  By looking only at superficial matters, we are missing out on who they are, their personality, and the energy that can be reciprocated in friendship. Discern, don't judge.

• Be proactive:  Once you have found your soul tribe, keep in touch and make an effort to get together on occasion.  You will know when you've found the right fit, so make sure to set regular meet-ups; staying in contact will only boost the benefits for you and for them.

• Know that it takes time to find the right fit and it's OK. Don't despair if you are not attracting what you want just yet. As a friend once told me, "sometimes you have to tell the Universe 'no' enough times to hone in on what is right for you."
