A "textationship" is a form of romantic or platonic relationship, which primarily, if not exclusively, involves text messages, with either no face-to-face interaction or minimal in-person interaction.

Textationship can either lead to a romantic partner or can lead to a platonic friendship. Today textationship is the safest form of communication in world of dating.

Textationship (platonic love) saves you from bad deeds and make your life heaven. Textationship is advantageous to those men who find difficult to talk to women who are gorgeous. Textationship enables a person to support each others individuality and allow to feel secure without constant reassurance (emotional security). Textationship(platonic love) does not force you to change your nature you were born with.

Textationship leads you to the right person who won’t make you choose between loving yourself and loving that person and won’t guiltrip you for the fact that you are asking for too much(love, peace and respect and trust).

Soul contracts: The invisible blueprint of your life

                                         Soul contracts: The invisible blueprint of your life

Introduction

During your journey to find your life partner, you might have found that journey to be tough accompanying attachment to that person, feeling emotions of love for that person and after sometime experiencing breakup depression when that person leaves you. The person you begin to love suddenly turns out to be not in your destiny.

The purpose of a soul contract is to help in your spiritual development through providing experiences and challenges which are specific that are helpful for you to learn and evolve.

The purpose of soul contract could be to give you heartache, make the most of you or being there for you when you needed an emotional support. They may be teacher or adjunct professor in disguise.

 

What is soul contract?

 

"Soul contract" is a spiritual agreement which is made between the souls before birth, which outlines the experiences and lessons that they will face together in this lifetime, including relationships with soulmates, exceeding the concept of romantic connections; leading to the notion that a soulmate is a part of your soul contract. Thus these soul contracts can be described as an adjunct medication in order to treat a particular disease.  For example, While Sudama was conversating with Mohini, Mohini messaged him quotes that made Sudama a very hardworking and fearless man. Mohini transformed Sudama into a wise man. She said to Sudama that courage is needed to write history, not a pen. She also quoted to Sudama that those do something instead of avoiding something move forward in the world. She advised Sudama to walk with the times, otherwise he will be left behind. She build confidence in Sudama by advising him to have faith in himself, then even fear gets scared of him. With the help of her advise, Sudama faced his daily life challenges in an easy way. Thus Mohini helped Sudama in gaining a positive mindset for himself and have a new outlook towards life. Sudama then advised her by sharing an Instagram reel on how to love herself. He also advised her that she is not alone and he will help her. Actually she believed in him when no one else believed in him. She became his source of inspiration.

Some come into your life in order to teach you how to be a platonic lovable friend or women can be best friend.

 

How soul contracts affect our life?

The soul contracts teach us that we all are connected, way beyond the acquaintances and members of our family we possess in our lives.

The notion that we made an agreement, a contract, before we are born bestows a sense of self-consciousness and awareness that most people don’t bear. This realization which is simple is helpful in motivating us to be alive in our own existence and not allowing the world which surrounds us to suppress our spirit or goals. In one form or another, thoughts result in actions.
