What is a soul family? A complete guide [+ How to find yours]

Do you feel that you have similar physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy as someone else?

If so, you might have found your soul family member!

A soul family is made up of people who have a deep emotional connection. It’s a simply unbreakable bond.

Wondering how you can find your soul family? In this guide, I’ll help you explore the concept of “soul family” and provide ways to find yours. Let’s get started!

What is a soul family?

Before I define the concept of a soul family, let me share my thoughts.

The first time I heard about this term, I tried to find the scientific definition because that’s what I usually do when I want to understand something new.

However, I couldn’t find any scientific explanation of what the soul family is, so I decided to do my own research.

Even though you might not be able to find a scientific definition of the soul family, it turns out that it’s a common term in spirituality and even more — it’s something most spiritual people are looking for.

So what is a soul family?

A soul family is a group of people who have come together in this life to learn, grow, and discover their purpose together.

These people have a deep emotional connection and can recognize or feel each other even if they are in different places.

Not to be confused with a blood-related family, a soul family is made up of people who share the same energy and vibration as you. It means that you have invested the same emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual energy, which is why you feel so comfortable and familiar with them.

Although having a soul family may not be a common experience for everyone, it’s not uncommon either.

Having a soul family can be a very rewarding experience as you get to connect with like-minded people who understand you and may even help you discover new things about yourself.

In simple terms, you can think of your soul family as your “family of souls”. It’s made up of people who you have an instant connection with and feel like you’ve known for years.

And you know what?

Even if you meet them for the first time, you will feel an instant connection with them and feel like they are an old friend that you haven’t seen in ages!

Typically, members of your soul family share similar values and beliefs, as well as similar physical traits and attributes.

You may also share the same birth date or other important moments in life (i.e., getting married on the same day).

They help to support, validate, encourage, and inspire you in all areas of your life! You can consider them close friends or even relatives!

But what makes a soul family different from a friendship?

Okay, now you probably understand the difference between your biological, blood-related family and your soul family.

In fact, while you might not feel connected with your real family members by beliefs, emotions, or mental energy, you’re on the same page on anything else with your soul family.

But if that’s true, how is a soul family different from a friendship? How can you know that your best friend isn’t a part of your soul family?

Well, the difference between a soul family and a friendship is that when you have friends, you still have your unique desires that might be different from what they want. You can live your life without them and meet up with them every once in a while.

Friends just make you feel comfortable and support you. However, when you’re in a soul family, it’s different.

You are connected by energy level, which means that you feel each other even if there is a distance between you and this creates an unbreakable bond.

This connection makes the members of the soul family feel like they are one person instead of many individuals because they share the same energy and vibration.

As soon as they come together, they become one whole person.

This is why I believe that finding your soul family is one of the most important things in life because it helps people to find themselves and their purpose on Earth.

A soul family helps us to remember who we really are and what our real purpose and desire is!

How to know if you’ve found your soul family?

Let’s be honest: there are some people who you just click with. There is this instant connection, and it feels like you’ve known each other for years.

You feel understood, and when you talk to them, it feels like you’re speaking in your mother tongue.

You understand each other on a deeper level and can simply finish the sentences of the other person. You know what they are going to say before they even say it.

If this describes your relationship with someone, then congratulations! You have found your soul family!

The feeling of being in a soul family is beyond words. It’s like having a best friend that you never had to work on developing a deep friendship with: it just happened naturally and effortlessly.

To know that there is someone out there who truly understands you and loves you unconditionally is an amazing feeling! It’s impossible not to love them back!

They treat us how we want to be treated, and they know how to make us feel appreciated and loved. They are the people who make us feel like we matter.

They are our cheerleaders, our confidants, and our protectors. They are the ones we can trust with anything and everything. They are the people who share our values and interests and whom we can always count on for a good laugh or a kind word.

When you find your soul family, you know that you’ve found your tribe. You’ve found your people!

But how can you feel that you’ve found your soul family?

Well, you’ll know if you’ve found your soul family if you feel a deep connection and similar energy with a person.

You’ll most likely feel a connection at the first meeting, without even trying.

Soul families are often made up of people from all walks of life, and therefore, you might find yourself in any age group.

There are no specific rules for finding your soul family. You just have to trust yourself and have faith that they will come into your life when the time is right.

Let’s explore some specific signs that can tell you that you’ve found your soul family.

1) You feel a deep connection with that person

Do you feel that you and someone else have a deep connection?

You know, you may feel an intense or deep connection with them, as if you’ve known each other for years.

It’s like you have a strong bond that no one can break.

You feel a connection with them on a soul level and have a deep understanding of each other.

Even if you’ve just met that person, you’ll still feel like you’ve known each other for years.

Your heart tells you so!

You can sense that person’s presence without seeing or hearing from them. You know they’re there! You know, they are thinking about you, too! It’s like your souls are connected. It’s magical!

They can sense your presence without seeing you or hearing from you. They know exactly what’s going on in your life because their souls are connected to yours!

This is magic, isn’t it?

It’s like their soul is talking to yours. They are able to communicate through the power of their souls alone! This is how it feels when your souls connect.

If this sounds familiar, then chances are that you’ve found your soul family member.

Still, it’s natural to be unsure whether you’ve actually felt such a deep connection with this person to identify them as your soul family member or not.

But guess what?

I know a way to help you be sure that this is a real sign that you’ve found your soul family.

Believe it or not, there is a company called Psychic Source where people can contact professional psychics in order to get guidance on their spiritual journey.

That’s what I did when I felt that I needed to be more aware of my spiritual life and understand what the future held for me.

The gifted advisor I spoke to helped me to realize how my emotions are connected to my life and how to keep going. Even though I haven’t found my soul family members yet, now I know where to look and how to spot them.

So maybe you should do the same! If this sounds like something you would do, here’s the link to keep in touch with them:

2) You’re attracted to their energy

Let me take a wild guess.

Recently, you’ve noticed that you’re having a strong and strange feeling towards someone you’ve just met.

Surprisingly, you understand that it’s nothing romantic. But you feel strange energy from that person.

And you know, it’s more than just a physical attraction.

You can’t stop thinking about him/her either. Or her/him, for that matter. You’re excited to meet them again!

Or maybe it’s not exactly like that, but still, you feel a strong connection with this person. It comes and goes, but there’s something there.

Why does this happen?

Well, it might be a sign that you’ve found your soul family member.

If you feel that there are people who are naturally attracted to your energy, then chances are they might be your soul family members. 

You can recognize them by their similarities and the way they act toward each other.

If they complement each other in some way, then this is the place to start looking for your soul family members. You might have already met some of them!

There are many ways in which people can find each other. But if you have experienced the above situation with someone you’ve just met, then I’d say that you may have found your soul family member!

That’s because the feeling of being attracted to someone is a sign of soul-bond!

3) You feel positive vibes from them

You’ve probably heard something about positive vibes, right?

Well, it’s a term that describes the feeling of happiness, love, and peace that you get from certain people.

These people tend to have a positive influence on your life. It’s a good thing, right?

It’s an important part of our lives as we need love and support to feel good about ourselves. And it’s one of the things that makes us human.

Another sure sign that you’ve found your soul family is the feeling of positive energy or vibes that you get from them.

You just feel good being around them. 

It could be anywhere from a faint smile, to a touch on your shoulder, to a simple look.

You can’t explain why, but you just feel happy whenever they’re around you. It’s almost like they’re “giving you the energy” or something.

You feel like you’ve known them for a lifetime, even though it might only be for a few days. That’s how strong these connections are. 

You can’t think of anyone else who would make you feel this way at all! 

Now, what happens when you find someone who has the same positive energy as you do? You feel happy! That’s why soul families are so special. 

They’re your perfect match in every way! So if you have found someone who has similar vibes to yours, then you’ve found your soul family member! 

They make you laugh out loud or give you a high-five for no reason at all!

4) You feel safe being vulnerable and open with them

Do you feel like you can trust particular people without having any real reason to do so?

Studies reveal that sometimes we even trust strangers but not other people. This can be explained by the fact that they look similar to someone we trust.

How is this related to your soul family?

Basically, one of the reasons you trust your soul family members is that they remind you of your real family.

And you know what else?

If you notice that you open up with some people without even intending to, it’s because you’re already in a soul family.

Therefore, if you feel safe being vulnerable and open with them without having any real reason, chances are that these people are your soul family members.

5) You’re not afraid of being yourself with them

How often are you able to reveal your true self to others?

Just think about it.

If you’re like most people, you don’t feel comfortable being completely open when it comes to talking to random people.

In fact, many people have a fear of vulnerability when it comes to talking to strangers. This means that you might keep certain aspects of yourself hidden or change your identity when you’re around people you don’t know well.

And this is natural.

However, when you meet your soul family member, you can both be yourself without the fear of judgment or criticism.

And you both know how to be yourself without the fear of judgment or criticism.

This is a perfect example of a soul family because you can be yourself with each other without the fear of judgment or criticism. You know how to be yourself, and they know how to be themselves with each other, without the fear of judgment or criticism.

The best part is that you don’t have to try hard; it’s just natural! You’re comfortable being vulnerable and open with your soul family, while they are comfortable being vulnerable and open with you!

This type of bond is rare… but it’s something special because inner confidence really matters when building relationships.

Knowing that you can trust your soul family gives you the freedom to talk about anything!

So, consider this sign as proof that you’ve found your soul family.

6) You feel like you’ve known them for a long time

Want to know another sure sign that you’ve found your soul family?

Well, it’s when you feel like you’ve known them all your life. It’s when you feel like you have a history with them.

But in reality, you’ve just met this person and you feel like you’ve known them for a long time.

If you’ve ever felt like you were connected to someone before, it’s probably because you have!

For example, if your soul family member is someone who lives far away from you, but you’ve felt like they’re a part of your family for as long as you can remember.

Or, if they’re someone who has always been a close friend to you. Or even if they’re someone from the past that you haven’t seen in years (but still feel connected to).

In fact, there are countless ways that I know we are connected because I’ve met so many other people with the same experience!

There is no doubt about it: our souls recognize one another – and we’re drawn to one another. And even when we don’t see each other for years at a time, we still feel an emotional connection and can pick up on things about the person that only a soul could know.

What’s more, you might even feel like you know them in a different way than anyone else.

You feel like you’re on the same wavelength as them

If you feel like you understand each other so well and are on the same wavelength, it’s a sure sign that you’re connected to your soul family.

7) They make you feel your life has a purpose

Did you know that only 25% of US adults feel like they’ve found their purpose in life? Well, this means that there’s a good chance that you still haven’t found yours.

However, if you do and if you feel like your purpose in life is connected with another person with whom you’re not attracted romantically, then this person is probably your soul family

Why?

Because soul family members make each other feel like their lives have a purpose.

They make you feel like your life has a purpose

When you’re connected with another person, it’s as if your life has a purpose. And not just because you get to share each other’s lives, but also because they make you feel that there is something bigger in the world that needs to be accomplished.

But what if all the other signs that you’ve found your soul family are present but you don’t feel like you have a purpose in life?

If that’s the case, then I’d like to share the way I found my own purpose in life.

The thing that helped me to reflect on my life and realize what was worthwhile was Ideapod co-founder Justin Brown’s video on the hidden trap of improving yourself.

In this free video, he explains that most people try to use self-help techniques such as visualization in order to find their purpose in life. But these strategies simply don’t work.

If you also want to connect with your inner self and understand what you really want in life, I’m sure that this video will give you new insights!

4 tips to find your soul family

1) Be open to new experiences and meeting new people

The first and most important thing you need to do to find your soul family is to be open to new experiences and meet new people.

Let’s be honest: are you even trying to meet new people and explore new connections?

If you don’t, you should realize that there’s no way of finding your soul family without trying to meet new people.

Even though this connection happens immediately, you still need to meet a specific person in order to feel the bond of soul family.

So here’s the thing:

The more you are open to meeting new people and trying new things, the more likely you are to meet someone who shares similar energy as you.

Life will present you with many opportunities to meet new people, so be ready for the unexpected.

So, open up to new situations. Try new things, step out of your comfort zone, and meet new people. Being open to new situations and experiences will help you meet like-minded people and will also help you grow as a person.

Open yourself up to the idea that you might find your soul family, and even if it doesn’t happen immediately, continue making friends with people outside of your social circle.

2) Use your intuition and listen to your gut feeling

When it comes to upcoming changes in your life, do you trust your gut feeling?

The truth is that if you need to find your soul family, you should trust yourself and your intuition.

You will know when you’ve found your soul family. Trust your intuition and gut feeling.

But how does it work?

Whenever you have the feeling that someone is in your life for a reason, you might have found your soul family.

If you have the instinct that someone is here to help you, to guide you, or to be with you through thick and thin, then they are most likely your soul family member.

Besides, if you feel like you’re meant to know this person if this person has been with you for a very long time and feels completely familiar to you, then they are most likely your soul family member.

You might be looking for a soul mate, but instead of finding one, someone may be already in your life.

This means that you can use your intuition to search for a soul family.

So, when it comes down to finding your soul family members – trust yourself!

Try to listen carefully to what you feel inside. Pay close attention to any feelings of attraction or familiarity when meeting someone new.

This will help you develop a connection with them and find out whether or not they are a part of your soul family. 

3) Be patient

Finding your soul family doesn’t happen overnight, right?

It’s a process that takes time.

It’s similar to finding a soulmate, only that you have more control over the process than finding one in the romantic sense.

Your soul family is not necessarily a romantic relationship. Their role is much wider than that and can be compared to that of a mentor or best friend. They are there for you when you need them most and are usually available for a chat whenever you want.

That’s why you need to be patient, open, and ready for it. That way, you’ll eventually realize that you’ve found your soul family when the right time comes!

4) Be yourself

And finally, the key to finding your soul family is to be yourself.

I mean, how can your soul family members feel similar spiritual and emotional energy from you if you’re not expressing yourself?

That’s right. You need to be yourself.

You don’t need to pretend to be someone you’re not or try to fit in with a certain group. You don’t need to be someone you aren’t in order to find your soul family.

You have to be yourself.

This will help you find your soul family more easily! Plus, it’s easier for others to connect with you if you are being yourself rather than trying to fit in with others or trying to look like someone else.

So don’t try to be someone else! Be the real you, and good things will happen.
