Many years ago I wrote the book Hot Chocolate for the Mystical Lover: 101 True Stories of Soul Mates Brought Together by Divine Intervention. Through the course of writing that book, I discovered some of the many ways soulmates find each other. It’s pretty empowering to realize that even the most mystical, magical encounters required the soon-to-be lovers to take action—to deliberately put themselves in the “right place at the right time.”
Here are some of the things they did that really worked:
1.They set an intention and followed it up with action.
After you’ve made your list of desired qualities and set the intention to find your perfect life partner, it’s important that you be on the lookout for clues and prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically when fate calls you to action. This was the winning formula that my friend Sean Roach, a successful CEO and speaker, used to find his soulmate.
At thirty-six, Sean was beginning to wonder if he’d ever find the right woman to settle down and start a family with. He traveled at least twice a week for work and had doubts that he’d be able to meet someone, given that he was hardly ever at home and spent only a day or two in each city. I shared with Sean some of the principles I explore in my book The Soulmate Secret, and although he had to admit he was not a firm believer in this “tree hugging stuff” (as he fondly referred to it), he decided to give it a try. He set an intention to find his perfect match, created a Treasure Map filled with images of happy couples lying in the sand and hanging out in the backyard by a firepit, and chose one image in particular—that of a man with a kid on his shoulders—to put on his iPod and cell phone where he could look at it daily.
One afternoon Sean was on a flight to Orlando to give a speech. Although he usually spent the whole flight working or catching up on e-mails, this time he happened to notice the flight attendant, Pia, who served him a glass of red wine. After a quick twenty-four-hour stay in Orlando, Sean boarded the plane back to the West Coast, only to discover that the same crew was working on his return flight. About an hour into the ride, Sean overheard a passenger speaking rudely to one of the attendants and was moved to take action. As he came to the flight attendant’s defense, he found himself looking once again into Pia’s eyes.
Noticing the spark, one of the other flight attendants said, “Sean should get an award for intervening like that, and I think his reward should be Pia’s number!” Sean did take down Pia’s number and called her a week later. From the first dinner they shared, they felt as though they had known each other for years.
2. They reunited with childhood or high-school sweethearts.
How many times have you had the thought, I wonder what ever happened to so-and-so? Many people find their true love by attending a reunion or as a result of hearing about a long-lost friend and then making the first move to reconnect. I recently read a story about a couple named Charlie and Carlyn Baily, both in their sixties, who married after finding each other on Classmates.com—forty-three years after graduating from high school.
“It’s still hard to believe,” Carlyn said. “If this had been even ten years ago—no Classmates.com, no computers—it would have been literally pure accident to make contact.”
The fact is, today’s technology makes this kind of reconnection easier than ever. Sometimes reuniting with a past flame can spark business ideas as well. Consider the story of Jeff Tinley, who met his wife at their ten-year reunion and was so inspired by their reconnection that he founded Reunion.com!
3. Some people (myself included) had dreams or premonitions that provided clues about how or where or when to find their soulmates, and they acted upon those clues.
One morning five years ago, Englishman David Brown woke up with a cell-phone number running through his mind. Brown had no idea where the number came from, but he sent a text message to it anyway, hoping to solve the mystery. He reached Michelle Kitson, who lived sixty miles away. She had no explanation as to why her number would be running through his head, but after several messages back and forth, they ended up meeting and falling in love. David and Michelle were recently married and have just returned from their honeymoon in India.
True stories like this are a clear reminder to listen to our dreams, trust our intuition, and have faith that the Universe is even now sending us signs that will lead us to love.

We spoke on the phone for two weeks prior to meeting. Our first date lasted 8 hours and best of all I knew he was my soulmate as soon as I saw him in person. I wanted to share this story to give others hope as well and please know that I was an extremely skeptical person prior to this!
