Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Find Your Soulmate - New Soulmate Kit Shows How *By Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway* *It's May Day. Love is in the air.* Those of you who have found true love and are getting ready for marriage can sit back and enjoy the day with the one you love. If you are still searching .... today is a great day to reflect on the relationship you want and say a prayer for true love. [image: Arielle.png] Meeting your love match often requires a combination of consciousness and conscious effort, making choices and allowing things to happen as they are meant to be. It requires some level of faith and believing in love, even when romance seems far away. A little help from experts never hurts! Several years ago, my friend Arielle Ford did a wonderful book about real lovers who found each other in mystical ways, *Hot Chocolate For The Mystical Lover: 101 Stories of Soul Mates Brought Together By Divine Intervention*, and this month she launches her " *Soulmate Kit<http://www.soulmatekit.com/> * " offering a step-by-step process for finding " big love. " I was happy to be included as the expert on how to use Feng Shui to magnetize true love. Arielle often says, " You never know what is around the corner " when it comes to love. That is SO true. One day you are yearning to meet the love of your life ... next minute .... that person is standing before you. Her personal love story is an inspiration. She's convinced that a prayer and prophetic dreams set the stage to bring her together with her beloved. It began one night when she whispered her prayer for true love into the ear of her spiritual teacher, Ammachi, and asked to be healed of anything that might be standing in the way of love. Soon, she had dreams that gave insights about the man she would soon meet and fall in love with. A few weeks later Arielle, then 44 and working as a hugely successful book publicist, was sent on business to Portland, to work on a project that involved Brian Hilliard. Although they had never met, they had both had dreams that told of finding each other. A year to the day of whispering her prayer, they were wed by her spiritual teacher and another ceremony followed, officiated by their friend, singer Kenny Loggins. Having known Arielle before Bri, and being dear friends with them both since they've been together, I can attest to the fact that theirs is a match made in the heavens! They've always been an inspiration. In fact, Arielle was a bridesmaid at our Las Vegas Elvis Wedding at Graceland Chapel and Brian walked me down the aisle! Check out my interview with Arielle about soulmates. *Rev. Laurie Sue: Have you always believed in soul mates?* *Arielle Ford: Long before I knew what they were called, I " knew " my soul mate was out there. My grandmother always used to say, 'there's a lid for every pot.' So I grew up with the image that just like there is a perfect lid that fits snugly on top of the pot, that somewhere there was a person who was the perfect fit for me. I think it was a pretty common thing for Grandmother's to say! But it did instill an image in me that the perfect person was out there, somewhere, and that he was probably looking for me too.* *How would you describe a soul mate?* *To me, a soul mate is somebody who is really your mirror, your other half, the person who makes you more whole than you already are, and who you have karmic ties to from past lives and future lives. When you see them there is just a spark between you that lights you up and lights them up. And the world is a better, happier place to be when you're with them. It's not grounded in science. It's just my personal belief.* *There are so many soul mate theories; they may all be true. Do you have a personal favorite?* *I think there is more than one path to your soul mate, but I highly agree with Deepak Chopra's explanation. In He says, essentially, that soul mates are beings that are vibrating at the same frequency of consciousness and evolving at the same rate. Since all souls come here to work things out based on karma, soul mates work many of their lessons out together.* *Do you find there a common experience or telltale sign that the truest of loves had arrived?* *There is almost always a distinct moment when soul mates recognize each other. Sometimes it's simple, mutual love at first sight. And sometimes one or both parties hear a small, still voice confirm: she's the one or this is the one your will spend your life with. " * *Do you think we all have soul mates?* *I believe that there is, at the very least, " one lid for every pot. " For some people, there are probably a number of potential soul mates; for others, there is that one great karmic love. Overall, I'd bet soul mates are together in more than one lifetime, and yet they are not necessarily supposed to be together in every lifetime.* *Did you have many love challenges to master before true love found you?* *(Laughs) Many of them... like most people... until I realized there is nothing any of us can do to hurry a soul mate long. Soul mates have their own schedule. I believe it is preordained and prearranged, long before we come into this physical world.* *And yet ... soul mates would seem to happen rather quickly. A reporter once asked Bette Middler why she got married so quickly, in Las Vegas, after knowing her husband for only six weeks. She said 'yes, it happened quickly... but those soul mate things always do. " Do you agree?* *I totally agree. Once you meet and you hear that little voice in your head saying: " this is the one, " yes, it can " happen " quickly. But I think it really just seems sudden. That's because you have a visual, human recognition of a soul who is so very familiar. But that recognition can only come when both people a ready.* *So it's love at first sight ... following a lot of personal growth and learning through relationships that didn't work out?* *Yes. I believe there's timing involved. You can't force it. You can't make it happen a moment sooner than it's supposed to. For example: Years before I met Brian I used to meditate in my living room every evening, with candles burning, listening to nuns singing chants. There was a week where everyday I would sit down and I would actually feel my soul mate around me. I would feel waves and waves of unconditional love around me. And I knew he was nearby but I didn't know anything more than that. But it was this very real experience. About a year after Brian and I got married we discovered that during the time that was happening he was living down the street at a hotel on an extended business trip. So he really was in the neighborhood ... he really was nearby. But this was not the time to meet. * *What do you say to people who feel frustrated that they haven't yet met their soul mate?* *I say, " If I can do it, they can do it. " I didn't meet my soul mate until I was 44. I consider myself the poster girl for later-in-life marriage. You never know what's around the corner! The whole point of the Soulmate Kit is to give people hope that it can happen for them. No matter what their age, no matter what their circumstances, no matter where they are in life, or what's happened to them in the past. * See Arielle's video about Soulmates <http://www.soulmatekit.com/>. © 2007, Reverend Laurie Sue Brockway Rev.
