biorythms

It is stated that each person has a soul mate, the missing part to their soul. The story is told in various cultures that the human soul was divided on earth. That each individual is sent searching for their missing half. They are compelled to find the perfect match for their soul. After they find each other, they are one. They are complete.

I struggle with the concept of one. It seems to me that there should be the capacity for more than, just one.

Who is your soul mate? Do they inspire you? Does your heart drop to the ground the minute they come in close to you? Is it the one that makes you laugh so hard you can barely speak? On the days that you don't speak do you feel a void? Is it the one that you can be with, in silence, or in a crowd and feel calm? Do you read each other? Your soul mate must complete you in some fashion. They may compliment your strengths and know your weaknesses, yet take you as is. They should introduce a part of you that you may have not even known existed. You can make mistakes. You may become a bit more daring to say what your thoughts are. They enable you to do what you have known all along you are capable of doing.

Who is your soul mate, how do they complete you? Is it intellectually, humorously, spiritually, sexually?

I read about a study once that when individuals connect on a conversational level, their biorhythms begin to mirror each other. It amazes me. When we really connect with another, our heart will beat at the same rate as them. Our breathing begins to sync.

Is the word soul mate too cliche? The concept that only one exists has a sort of finality to it that I am not quite comfortable with. What if you have the wrong one? What if you find yourself in love with an individual that in all actuality doesn’t exist? What if you have thought them into something they are not? What if you and your soul mate fight all of the time, then what to do? What if your soul mate doesn’t feel the same? I would hate to be destined into some tragic incomplete love.
But I suppose if they are you soul mate, you complete them too.

There are those individuals you have felt as if you have known for ages, but maybe you have just met. You can take small portions of those amazing people in your lives you connect with. There are many to guide you to complete.
