Compatibility between the emotional bodies is also crucial in finding your ideal partner. It is important that you be able to relate to each other in a feeling way. With a high compatibility in this area, you will feel comfortable sharing your feelings with each other. You receive emotional support from one another, and feel that the other person is really there for you emotionally. You are able to relate well to what the other person is going through, on an emotional level.

If, for example, your parent of the opposite sex wasn't there for you emotionally (and men in our culture are not encouraged to open up emotionally... so whose father WAS there for them emotionally??!!), you may experience challenges in this area in your adult relationships. Until you work through your feelings (often anger and abandonment) about your father (or mother) not being there for you emotionally, it will hard to find a partner with whom you are highly emotionally compatible.

The etheric body refers to a person's subtle physical nature. It is a thin, refined layer of energy surrounding a person which is invisible to the eye, but can be felt or sensed by another. When this compatibility is high, you feel comfortable being in another person's presence, without even having to say or do anything. The person feels like a good friend. Enjoyment seems to occur naturally when the two of you are together.

If, for example, either person has the deep subconscious belief that other people get in their way or keep them from doing what they want, then this compatibility could be low, and one partner may unconsciously alienate the other--in order to ensure being able to have his or her way and do what he or she wants. Or, either partner having a deep belief about losing themselves in relationships could lower the etheric compatibility, resulting in the couple not enjoying spending much time together.
