Person with whom one shares a special bond

A soulmate is a person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity.[1] This may involve similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility and trust.[2]

Definition [ edit ]

In current usage, "soulmate" usually refers to a romantic or platonic partner, with the implication of an exclusive lifelong bond.[3] It commonly holds the connotation of being the strongest bond with another person[4] that one can achieve. It is commonly accepted that one will feel 'complete' once they have found their soulmate, as it is partially in the perceived definition that two souls are meant to unite.[citation needed] The term "soulmate" first appeared in the English language in a letter by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1822.[citation needed]

Criticism [ edit ]

Some psychologists state that believing that a soulmate exists specifically for a person is an unrealistic expectation.[4][5][6]

Historical usage of the concept [ edit ]

Theosophy [ edit ]

According to the esoteric religious movement Theosophy, whose claims were modified by Edgar Cayce, God created androgynous souls—equally male and female. Later theories postulate that the souls split into separate genders, perhaps because they incurred karma while playing around on the Earth, or "separation from God." Over a number of reincarnations, each half seeks the other. When all karmic debt is purged, the two will fuse back together and return to the ultimate.[7][8][better source needed]

New Age [ edit ]

According to Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, a soulmate is a separate entity with whom one has spent many lifetimes as a friend, lover, co-worker or partner, and to whom one is usually drawn to fulfill a specific mission.[9] They describe a soulmate as one of many potential spiritual brothers or sisters: "even though there may be a great attraction and bond between soulmates, fundamentally, in the ultimate sense, you could define it more as a brother/sister relationship, even though soulmates have great marriages and a great union of hearts."[10] According to Mark Prophet: "A soulmate relationship has to do with the seat of the soul Chandra, that Chandra just above the base ... The connection is one of parallel and mutual evolution rather than origin."[10]

Tarot [ edit ]

In tarot card meaning, the concept of a soulmate is loosely implied to be a person with whom your souls are tied by consensual intercourse. Since in divination it is believed that two persons acquire a shared fate once they have sex, it becomes possible for someone to have various 'soulmates' (even simultaneously) as read in a tarot card spread.[citation needed]

How does French kiss feel?

Your tongue and mouth are full of nerve endings, which means they're very sensitive. Many people enjoy the sensation of feeling their tongue touch their partner's tongue. Scientists also think that exchanging saliva helps introduce sex hormones into your partner's mouth, which makes the experience more arousing.

Article Summary

X

To French kiss someone, first move in closer and tilt your head to the side a little bit so you're ready to kiss them. Close your eyes and start with some gentle kisses. Then, open your mouth a little to invite your partner to start using their tongue. If they do, kiss them back using your tongue lightly too. Go slow and don’t force anything. As you're kissing, place your hands on their hips, gently cradle their face, or wrap your arms around them in an embrace. Don’t worry if you don’t feel like a pro at first. Even if things don’t go perfectly your first time, you’ll get better at French kissing the more you practice. Try sucking on a mint and putting on some lip balm if you know you're going to be kissing someone so your breath is fresh and your lips feel soft and kissable.
