What is a twin flame?
Sometimes discussed with the terms “Mirror soul” or “Soul connection,” the twin flame is the cloud. It is theorized that a soul can split in two after ascending to a high frequency. After that, the soul descends into two different bodies. If you compare the twin flame to a soul mate, it is important to remember that a soul mate is someone who is made of the same kind of energy as you but who never existed with you. Therefore, while soulmate connections are extremely important, the encounter with the twin flame is on a whole other level. Usually, this leads to romance. But it can also manifest itself in the form of an intense friendship. If you have a twin flame, you are destined to meet this person at some point in your life journey. The two of you will be attracted like magnets! You will know when you connect with this person because you will experience an immediate sense of recognition. Many people describe an uncanny feeling that they have known their twin flame all their lives. When you meet the person who carries the other half of your energy, this can create a deep and life-changing sense of wholeness.
Your relationship will naturally be extremely intense because the twin flames are mirrors of each other. This person will not only provide a sense of wholeness; they will also increase your self-knowledge, including your knowledge of your imperfections. As a result, there is the potential for conflict as well as happiness. Make sure that it is possible to have a happy and healthy relationship with your twin flame. However, this is only possible if you can learn to love yourself because your twin flame is a part of you. This love must be honest and unconditional! Otherwise, a part of you will always be driven to reject your twin flame.
The most common twin flame symptoms
- Intuitively, you know what your other half is doing, feeling, or thinking. You also find that he, or she, can identify the same things about you.
- You share many of the same interests, values, hobbies, and preferences. For example, your twin flame probably has many books in your favorite genre. Similarly, you probably gravitate towards the same food.
- In a romantic or platonic setting, feeling a strong physical attraction to touch and be close. Having the same dreams at night and often dreaming about each other. Sometimes your dreams will overlap only in theme, but the basic message and feeling will be similar.
- Feeling that you can communicate easily without speaking out loud. A simple glance will often be enough to tell you what your twin flame is thinking about what is going on around you.
The 7 stages of a twin flame relationship
The search phase: The search phase involves a strong sense of longing and a keen awareness that something is missing in your life. Even if you have never really thought about your soul mate and twin flame before, this is the stage when you begin to believe that there really is a perfect match for you.
The awakening stage: You tend to know when you met your twin flame. This second awakening phase is where you physically meet and the awareness of your compatibility affects you directly. This is usually a chance encounter full of coincidences.
Test phase: The testing phase of the twin flame experience is defined by trying to understand your relationship with the other person. It’s all about setting boundaries, testing your limits, and leaving behind the completely blissful experience of falling in love in the first place.
Crisis phase: Twin flame love also inevitably involves a crisis phase. While this is often unpleasant, the good news is: It can also indicate a deeper, more stable bond in the long run. This phase involves significant concerns about your bond with your twin flame, and a crisis can be almost anything.
The running or chasing phase: Whatever the crisis phase, it is always followed by a running or chasing phase. You can be in both roles. You and your twin flame can switch back and forth between the two roles. This phase usually revolves around one twin flame distancing themselves for fear of confrontation with the level of intimacy that the two of you can experience. Meanwhile, the other twin flame will pursue, believing that the bond is worth fighting for and working on.
Surrender phase: In the surrender phase, you will both begin to give up the need to control your relationship. Surrender in this context is not about giving up your connection, but about accepting that neither of you can escape fate.
The reunion phase: As you and your twin flame move into the reunion phase, you will feel a sense of relief in the fact that balance has been restored. Having gone through the previous challenging stages, you will have learned a lot about yourself and the potential attached to the unique kind of love you have found. 1
