5 Soul Contracts You Already Made
Jul 24, 2026
Soul contracts is the idea that we make agreements before incarnation back down to the Earth realm after our soul leaves this world. We do this to experience certain lessons, relationships, or opportunities for growth.
When I was 16, I became aware that soul contracts exist. I was experiencing a horrible repeated pattern of having people in my life that treated me less, used me for their gain and then another one would enter my life. These people would bring me a lot of pain and after one would leave, another would enter. It was like clockwork.
I knew in my heart there are good people in the world, but why I am drawing in the ones who told me one thing but actions were another?
One day, I hit the furious button and I yelled relentlessly at the Universe. “You do not bring me another person like this again! You hear me? I am done! Done!” I flew into a million tears and I never did attract a person with the same qualities again.
I didn’t know at the time, but I wasn’t just healing myself, I was healing my ancestors who experienced what I did for generations. It is really that easy to end a contract? Yes and no.
In this article, I’m going to share 5 common contracts we all make as came here to experience this world.
First let me say that contracts are opportunities to learn and not a fixed destination. You have free will in this world. That’s one of the opportunities to being on this planet! We still get to influence the contracts even after they are put into place.
Why would we make these contracts? The soul is interested in evolution and growth. What I have learned from talking to Spirit as a channel and a medium, is that the emotional field is not on the Other Side. This means, the opportunity for emotional attachment which keeps us in loops isn’t there. The Other Side has showed me that everything is absolutely by Divine planning. So let’s dive in!
Your contracts are made by the people you are in relationship with. The primary contracts of learning opportunity comes from your family, and then romantic partners, children, friends, even your boss! All other planners who are not in your primary soul group. For another topic, we can discuss what soul groups are, but for now, know that you travel with a soul group lifetime after lifetime. In fact, you contracted these people in your life!
What are some contracts that you can experience and learn from? First contract:
HEALING CONTRACTS:
I have scorpio in my tenth house in my natal chart. This puts me in a position to help people with deep transformation. I also experienced a lot of childhood trauma and because of my soul contracts, I have transformed the circumstances into blessings. Did the “stars in the sky” plan this for my soul. I do believe so. My contract was experiencing trauma and I usually draw in people who experienced the same trauma without us talking about it. I find out later by working with my clients. By working in the Akashic Records, my overall contract that my soul wanted to learn is deep self love. And would you believe, we are all not here to learn self love. There are many other lessons the soul wants to tackle!
Healing contracts will teach the soul:
-
How to forgive
-
How to recover from trauma or damaged caused and
-
How to have compassion
One of the greatest things about this planet is that we have emotions. Like I mentioned, the emotional field (of baggage and hardship) leaves us we transfer to the Other Side. Experiencing all the emotions is something that soul came here to experience!
CATALYST CONTRACT
Two different types of events fill a catalyst contract.
-
One is a person who enters your life for rapid change. They may not even stay! They shake and bake your life and leave after a period of life. You grab the lesson and they fade out. These people will cause you to look at your fears, emotional wounds and even toxic habits.
-
The other type of catalyst contract is through an event as being diagnosed by a disease. This type of contract will invite you to look at your habits and shift your internal world for growth. Please note: not all disease are catalyst contracts but all disease is an invitation for soul growth.
ANCESTRAL CONTRACT
Did you ever hear the saying, “You look like your mom or perhaps dad?” or “Your dad did that too!” You are unique and yet you are not. Patterns are coded in your soul and passed to you - good, bad or indifferent. We are definitely here to complete or heal unconscious patterns, the repeated patterns and emotional wounds that come through. This could look like financial scarcity, trauma, addictions, etc.
The people who are here specifically to heal ancestral contracts will come through as the “Lineage Breaker” many times seen as the “black sheep” of the family. The person who is different who do not fit into the established family dynamics and are uniquely positioned to see the toxic generational patterns right in front of them.
TEACHER CONTRACTS
The beautiful part of this world is that after you master something, you become the elder. You won’t get a physical certificate but you do get “points” added to your soul as an accomplished area.
We pull in teachers to help us grow and after we learn, we become the teacher. We are then able to share our wisdom, guide others and even serve as a mentor. You have ancient wisdom and many lifetimes within you all adding up!
And I could not end this article without addressing, the one that will definitely impact you…..
KARMIC CONTRACTS
I never believed in past lives until I saw one of mine and the pieces of my world fell together. The ah-ha moments were undeniable. My husband is a soul contract from a previous life - it wasn’t anything traumatic - instead it was a relationship that didn’t get to be played out. So we can look at this like an imbalance from a previous life.
What is my karma is the environment and people I was around since I didn’t get to have a relationship with him. In this past life, he told me that he had to leave me yet would return. He pointed to a ship down below the cliff. I decided to become a nun as I waited for his return. Well, he never came back. And my life, I was as a nun. Interestingly, I was killed from a person in the church. I saw something, knew something that I shouldn’t have and they put an end to that! In this life, I continue to do my spiritual work and I have a pretty good idea of who that person was in that previous lifetime. An opportunity for a lot of healing to take place.
Karma is a spiritual agreement between two souls to reunite in this lifetime to balance past lief energy, clear trauma and resolve unpaid spiritual debts. These are people you usually have difficulty with in order to resolve something.
I find them to be difficult and usually the things you don’t want to deal with. In the family, this can present opportunities for boundary setting, forgiveness, compassion and even resilience.
Another pivotal moment in my life was when I had a NDE (near death experience) and came out of my body as a soul. The “players” in my life said, “Well we are done!” and walked away. It gave me the clear understanding that that’s exactly what people are - players to expand and give growth for your soul.
