Anam Cara

"Anam is Gaelic for soul, Cara is the word for friendship, so Anam Cara means soulmate (literally "soul friend")." 
Ur: "Anam Cara" av John O'Donohue

"In Celtic Spiritual tradition, it is believed that the soul radiates all about the physical body what some refer to as an aura. When you connect with another person and become completely open and trusting with that individual, your two souls begin to flow together.

Should such a deep bond be formed, it is said you have found your "Anam Cara" or soul friend.

Your "Anam Cara" always accepts you as you truly are, holding you in beauty and light. In order to appreciate this relationship, you must first recognize your own inner light and beauty. This is not always easy to do. The Celts believed that forming an "Anam Cara" friendship would help you to awaken your awareness of your own nature and experience the joys of others."
