How many times have you just met someone and felt like you’ve known them all your life…you just immediately clicked?

There are a number of theories about this phenomenon:

1. Neural Synchrony – Studies have shown that people who’s brains process information in a similar fashion create a desire for contact
2. Language Style Matching – Research on Language Style Matching shows people who unconsciously mirror each other’s linguistic styles feel a greater sense of connection
3. Shared Vulnerabilities – Psychological research has shown that sharing deeply personal situations creates a shared sense of vulnerability and makes us tend to feel understood, more secure, and connected
4. Shared Sense of Humor – A number of studies have shown people with a similar sense of humor creates and boosts a sense of connection
5. Past Familiarity – This psychological connection occurs when we meet someone with the same traits as someone in our childhood family. There is instant familiarity.

Here’s where the list gets really interesting…here are a number of what some might call ‘extra sensory’ or ‘other worldly’ theories that explain that instant connection

1. Heart Rhythm Synchronization – It’s been proven that people in love tend to have synchronized heartbeats. Meeting someone with a similar heartbeat creates an instant bond
2. Soul Group or Soul Family – This theory contends that several souls are created together and are reincarnating in different family and friend roles to work through life lessons
3. Past Life – Similarly to Soul Group, a past life connection is felt when meeting someone in this lifetime that had an impact on us in a previous lifetime
4. Crossed or Jumped Timelines – This theory contends that we each have a number of timelines or paths that we live simultaneously and we continuously move between them. When a person who is close to us from one of our other timelines move into this one we instantly recognize the connection
5. Intuitive Seeing/Sensing – Whether consciously or subconsciously our intuition or inner knowing sees or senses that a person is good for us in some way or vise versa. We have things to teach each other to help us progress on our paths

Wherever the instant connection comes from there’s a reason for everything and everyone that comes into your life. Some connections are so obviously supportive, loving, inspiring and vise our vibrations, and some teach us lessons we couldn’t learn any other way. Always keep in mind that each relationship is reciprocal, we receive something from them and they receive something from us. Knowing the nature of the relationship can enhance the positives and speed up the lessons.
