Psychic Anne Jirsch reveals why our kindred spirits are so important
Most people think of a soulmate as someone special in a romantic sense.
However, the true meaning of a soulmate is someone who helps your soul to grow — so they can be friends, family members or even colleagues.
‘Whatever kind of soulmates are present in your life, they’ve one thing in common — a psychic bond that ties you together.
‘You will feel a deep connection to this person, perhaps on many levels,’ says psychic Anne Jirsch, author of The Power of Manifesting.

‘Relationships are mirrors — often they reflect back things about ourselves that we don’t like,’ she adds. ‘Remember, the soul doesn’t want perfection, it wants us to love and be loved, learn and grow, and be kind and compassionate.’

● Do you have mutual friends, but didn’t meet for years?
● Do you have a real compulsion to be with this person, no matter what?
‘If you answered yes to more than three of these questions, then you’r
