Soul Ties

Life and the universe are filled with mysteries, and soul ties are among those things that are hard to explain or understand. But if you believe in a higher purpose or a divine being that controls everything, then it makes sense why you can feel deeply connected to another individual or soul even if you just met them. You might feel like this person’s soul and yours have known each other for a long time.

You can get a better understanding of that emotional and spiritual connection once you get a profound sense of what a soul tie means and how it can impact your life.

What Are Soul Ties?

Soul ties are an emotional and spiritual connection that you have with someone. When you have a soul tie, it’s like your souls are knitted together. This connection goes beyond romantic relationships and sexual intercourse, contrary to popular belief. It can be more of a spiritual intimacy that enables such ties to develop.

The idea of soul ties forming after sexual intercourse is rooted in the Christian tradition and belief. According to the same tradition, two people whose bodies are joined as one become one soul or become a twin flame.

Another common misconception about a soul tie is that many think it is the same with a soul mate. While it is easy to see where the confusion might come from, they are actually different from each other. When you have a soul tie with someone, you have an emotional and spiritual connection on a deeper level. The extreme attachment happens on the soul level, not just due to physical or sexual attraction.

On the other hand, a soul mate is when you have an immediate yet deep connection with someone. It can be a connection that stems from an attraction or your similar interests. Whatever it is, the use of tarot cards will help distinguish the difference between the two.

Usually, two souls become intertwined when you form close and intimate relationships. Two people form a spiritual and emotional bond when your mind, body, and spiritual bodies are formed as one. You can also create a soul tie by exchanging vows and promises with someone.

Since there are many types of soul ties, there are also different ways that you can form them according to each type.
