GUESTLISA	I think Yuan Fen is a very elegant and beautiful concept. Perhaps the closest western idea is "destiny". I think we all know when an encounter is significant. We don't always know why - and sometimes the true significance of that encounter only becomes clear later. I think Yuan Fen occurs when there is a recognition between two souls. Perhaps this is due to meeting a person in a past life? Or perhaps the significance is that we somehow know or recognise that we have something to teach each other? I have a yuan fen story to share - please read on! I have felt what I think must be yuan fen with my closest male friend for ten years. We have never been lovers but he's the most important man on the planet to me - until I meet my soul mate! When we met as strangers my soul leapt in recognition and I sensed great warmth from him, literally, physically. We looked at each other in amazement! Recently I dreamed that I was twelve years old, in another time, another place. My mother was lying on a straw mattress, dying from fever. I ran through the woods to a hut where a reclusive man gave me a potion. I gave this to my mother and she recovered. Later I returned to that recluse in the woods, and as his eyes met mine in gratitude I recognised the face of my current friend of ten years. Is this yuan fen?

GUEST63104	From your lovely response, first, it might do lots of people well to learn the differnce between lust and love. and second we are all connected and therefore soulmates. Study TwinFlames. and have Diamond Days filled with LIfe, Light, Love and Laughter.. Tian ren he yi .. Fu Laoshi

GUESTSPRINGF...	I think yuan fen is akin to synchronicity (lucky coincidence of parallel events or happenings) and serendipity (happy accident). Carl Jung coined the word synchronicity and believed it to be a glimpse into the underlying order of the universe. I like to think of yuan fen of two individuals as synchronicities clashing into a serendipitous moment
