Soul Ties: Recognizing Soul Ties And Breaking The Unhealthy Connections

We see different shades of relationships throughout, some of them are healthy and some of them are not good for our overall well-being. When we start bonding in a relationship, it is quite challenging to understand what’s exactly happening until and unless the unhealthy connection starts breaking down. Soul ties are one of them!

Some people associate twin flames with soul ties, however, both terms are different with different meanings. Soul ties are one of the highly misunderstood connections. They are not just about intimate or sexual connections but also spiritual connections that help strengthen the connection between two people.

In this blog, I am working on understanding soul ties, their signs, and how to break unhealthy soul ties. So, let’s get started!

What is Soul Tie Connection?

A soul tie connection happens when someone deeply enters your soul. Well, it’s the most misunderstood concept because soul tie is not about the connection you feel after building sexual connections with someone.

A soul tie connection presents a bigger perspective… A soul tie is also about connecting emotionally or spiritually with people such as friends, co-workers, romantic partners, family members, and pets. Soul ties are resilient and long-lasting bonds. However, not all soul ties are positive; they can also be destructive or unhealthy. Therefore, it is really important to understand the formation, types, and signs to keep healthy connections maintained and break unhealthy connections.

1. Formation of Soul Ties

When two people start connecting mindfully, spiritually, and physically, a soul tie is formed. They often share commitments, promises, or vows that enhance or strengthen the bond between two people. In order to form a soul tie, it is important to connect with someone emotionally.

2. Different Types of Soul Ties

Per psychology, soul ties can be emotional, spiritual, social, and physical.

1. Physical Soul Ties: Formed during intercourse
2. Emotional or Protective Soul Ties: Formed when two people share common feelings (can be romantic or platonic relationships)
3. Spiritual Soul Ties: Formed when two people connect on a higher level or experience a spiritual connection
4. Social Soul Ties: Formed between co-workers, friends, or family members

10 Signs of Soul Tie Connection

To identify your soul tie connection, you can refer to the below listed 10 signs of soul tie:

1. You are deeply connected with someone.

Having a soul tie in your life is all about experiencing something new (that you have never experienced before). A soul tie forms a connection that is more intense and teaches you the definition of love. right now, if you feel like you’re in love with someone spiritually and emotionally, it might be a sign that you’ve found your soul-tie connection. 

2. You both share common, mutual, or perfect timing to transition.

The person you are falling in love with has entered your life at the right time, especially when you were ready to transition yourself into a better and more loving person. They look like comfort to you and they always show up when you need them. 

3. You are obsessed with the connection you two have formed during this time.

It really does not matter what your priorities were before meeting them, if right now, you feel complete with them, it might be your sign to fall in love deeply. If you spend your day thinking about them, you might want to connect with them deeply without having control over your thoughts. 

4. You seek their approval or guidance before doing anything.

If before making a decision or trying something new out, you ask them about their opinion…it means that their opinion or approval means a lot to you and you’re looking forward to their honest opinion on whatever you’re planning to do. 

5. They get the best out of you.

When you’re with your soul tie, you feel you’re at the best version. You can count on every step with them. Additionally, you start using your soul-tie as a benchmark, you start judging people, and remove people who do not even level up to your soul-tie. 

6. You seek their guidance as a benchmark.

You get so inspired by their actions so that you start taking their guidance as a benchmark for achieving goals. they start becoming a safe place to you, comfort, or familiar that you sometimes get feelings of déjà vu. 

7. You do not consider your life without them.

You eventually pick them to be your best person and you start considering every step with them. The idea of losing them freaks you out. This feeling keeps on getting dramatic regardless of what your past relationships or childhood may have been. 

8. You freak out when you get negative feelings about them.

They start feeling familiar to you and once you establish a soul time with someone, you begin to picturise the whole life with them. Everything you do reminds you of them and you begin to share a bond with them that feels so special or unique that you start freaking out when you get negative feelings about them. 

9. They feel like a safe space, home, or familiar to you.

One of the common signs of finding a soul tie is that they feel like a safe space, home, or familiar to you. You start feeling that they complete you and compliment you in every situation. This is a sign of a healthy romantic relationship. 

10. You both share a unique connection.

Fantasizing a lot about your soul tie is again one of the common signs. You get so attracted to them that you start fantasizing about them a lot and you feel that you both share a unique bond that is incomparable.
