How to find your soul mate

MANILA, Philippines - Can there be one special person, a soul mate, who is meant to appreciate and love you and be with you for the rest of your life? “Maybe,” says happiness guru Caloy Atayde. A definite maybe.

Atayde is fast becoming known for his “Laughter from the Heart” talks, enlightening and fun learning sessions that help people to be more loving and live stress-free and happier lives. He believes that living a good and happy life is the key to finding one’s soul mate. Atayde, who has been producing values-oriented entertainment and special events for 34 years now, says that when you are in love, you experience “laughter from the heart,” which he defines as a feeling of joy, peace, and contentment all rolled into one.

“For us to experience true love, however, we must know how to appreciate others and truly be concerned about their well-being. While we all want to experience genuine love and happiness, most of us do not really know what to do. Atayde says that one of the first things we have to do is to be aware of our thoughts and emotions. “We all live to love and experience the joy and happiness that come from love. This is the purpose of our life. If you are a loving, happy, and responsible person, there will many who would want to be your life-long partner, but they may not necessarily be your soul mate.” 

Finding your soul mate takes a bit of work. And in Atayde’s Laughter from the Heart sessions, which he calls “happyshops” (because participants get to laugh, sing, love, dance, and enjoy themselves as if there’s no tomorrow), he shows how managing stress and freeing yourself from fear, anger, envy, and other negative emotions can lead you to “the one.”
