Arielle Ford believes that finding true love is possible for anyone, at any age, and she points to herself as living proof. Married for the first time at age 44, she expanded on the set of skills that she used to launch her highly successful Public Relations firm, The Ford Group, and applied them to her love life. She is best known for launching the careers of many bestselling self-help and spiritual authors including Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Neale Donald Walsch and many others. Arielle is the author of six books and is one of the founding partners of The Spiritual Cinema Circle. She also hosts a radio show, MYSTICAL CAFÉ, on Sirius Satellite radio’s LIME channel 114. If you’re ready to find true love, Arielle can show you how.

Q: How would you, personally, describe a "soul mate?"
A: I believe a soul mate is someone we feel a deep and profound connection to. Someone with whom we feel completely ourselves with. Someone that we love unconditionally and they love us unconditionally. And without trying to sound too sentimental, someone who completes us.

In the movie SHALL WE DANCE with Richard Gere & Susan Sarandon there is a terrific scene where Sarandon’s character is talking about why we would want a her soul mate relationship and says:

“We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."

Q: Do you believe everyone has a soul mate?
A: Yes, I do and I believe that with a little focused time and energy everyone can find theirs. While most people think of a soul mate in romantic terms, I also believe that there are other kinds of soul mate relationships. For instance, look at the friendship and connection that Oprah and Gayle King share. I would definitely call that a soul mate relationship. I also believe you can have pets that connect with you on such a deep level that they deserve to be called soul mates.

Q: Is there only one? Or can we have more than one?
A: I personally believe you can have more than one soul mate in a lifetime but not necessarily at the same time. My mother-in-law, Peggy, is a good example of this. She was happily married for 55 years. After her husband died she was sure she would spend the rest of her life alone…then last year she began setting the intention for a companion. An internet-savvy friend of hers logged on to www.match.com and found a potential date for Peggy with a retired lawyer named John who had also enjoyed a fifty-year plus marriage until his wife died. Peggy and John met nine months ago, sparks flew and they are now in a deeply committed, loving relationship. By the way, she is 80 and he is 83!

Q: Have you always believed in soul mates?
A: Absolutely. I have always had a “knowingness” that I would someday find my soul mate and even though it didn’t happen for me until I was in my mid-forties, I never gave up hope. I believe that having love in our lives is as natural as having air to breathe and water to drink. If you are willing to clear the clutter from your heart, mind and home, love can be yours!

Q: Do you think there is timing involved with soul mates or can we rush it?
A: I am a big believer in divine timing AND I also believe that we have free will. It’s when the two meet up that magic happens. I always say prepare your self now, surrender to the Universe and savor the waiting.

Q: Why do you think so many people struggle with finding their true love?
A: One of the most common reasons is that after a few bad relationships some people unconsciously shut down and give up. They no longer believe the right person is out there for them and while one part of them is saying “YES, I want a relationship,” the other part is saying “NO! I’m afraid to get hurt again.” A big part of manifesting love is preparing yourself by overcoming the emotional wounds and baggage that we all have.
In the SoulMate Kit there are processes, projects and emotional release techniques that assist in healing the heart and opening up to love. I created the Soulmate Kit so that everyone could have access to finding the relationship of their dreams.

Q: What is the Universal Law that can be used to find your soul mate?
A: It’s called The Law of Attraction and it says that you will attract to you those people, events and experiences that match your state of being. If you focus on having gratitude for the love, companionship and joy you have in your life right NOW, you will attract more of that into your life. If you focus on what you don’t have, you will send out a message of lack and you will attract more lack into your life.
In the movie CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD the character Neale says to God,
“I just want my life back.”
And God says to Neale,
“You can’t have anything that you want.”
They then have an entire dialogue where God explains to Neale that by ‘wanting something (or someone)’ all you get to have is the experience, the feeling of ‘wanting.’
As part of the preparation to manifest your soul mate I suggest that you begin the process of “living as if.” This means that your daily actions become congruent with your beliefs.
For instance, I once heard a story about the great actress Della Reese. During the time she was waiting for her soul mate to arrive, she would set a place at the table for him each time she had a meal. Eventually, he arrived. Della sent a clear message to the Universe and the Universe delivered.

Q: What are the key steps to manifesting a soul mate?
A: In addition to healing your heart from past relationships you need to create a clear intention. The analogy I like to use it this:
When you walk into your favorite coffee hangout what is the first thing you do? Place your order. You confidently tell the barista, “I will have a tall, half-caff, low-fat mocha latte, with a splash of non-sugar vanilla syrup to go.” The barista smiles, writes your order on the side of a cup and takes your money. Within minutes you are walking out the door with the precise, delicious cup of coffee that you ordered. Ordering up a soul mate from the Universe works in a similar way. It’s not always as instantaneous but it can be just as precise. But to have the Universe to deliver your perfect soul mate, you must first CLEARLY place your order. This isn’t quite as easy as it sounds. You must first search your heart for what you really, really desire. By now you know what you DON’T want but you need to ask for what you DO want. In the Soulmate Kit we explain how to place your order by creating a detailed list and we then provide a variety of rituals to do to release your list to the Universe.

Q: Tell us about the woman who used crayons to manifest her soul mate.
A: Her name is Gayle and many years ago she was advised by her astrologer to put her intentions for a soul mate into the world by coloring a mandala. She took a black & white mandala and a rainbow of multi-colored pencils and began declaring her intentions while she colored in a space on the mandala. She asked for things like: finding the perfect spiritual friend and lover to go through life with; a man who is kind to animals; someone who would appreciate her sense of humor; a man who would be accepting and open to her spiritual quest. For each intention she used a different color until the entire mandala became a multi-hued Technicolor testimony to the qualities she desired in her future partner. Within weeks of doing this she met her soul mate and they have now been married for more than 20 years! Anyone who would like a mandala can get one for free by visiting www.soulmatekit.com/love

Q: What is in the SoulMate Kit and where is it available?
A: It is a multi-media product of audio, video and a workbook that provides simple and easy steps to manifesting soul mate using prayers, techniques, visualizations, emotional release processes and rituals that I have created. It is only available online at www.SoulMateKit.com
