Soul Mate or Twin Flame?

Have you ever met someone and felt that there was a magnetic pull toward them? Are certain people fated to be in your life?

The theory of soulmates and twin flames suggest that their is a "soul-time" of connections that you share. These times together have been experienced in past lives. A soulmate and a twin flame are part of the fiber of your soul.

So how do you know when you meet each of them and what's the difference within the relationship experience?

The Twin Flame

Twin flames are one half of a soul. When the two parts of the same soul incarnate in different bodies, they are both always on a mission of sorts to reconnect with each other. It can almost feel like you know someone significant is out there looking for you as you are looking for them.

This sounds all romantic and gushy right? (Insert love song here.)

Stop the music!!

The twin flame relationship is an experience of a range of emotions that usually break you down before they build you up.

What many don't understand is that the journey of twin flames is more about becoming whole within self in order to experience wholeness within their union.

"We all will encounter a twin flame relationship but it's something you shouldn't seek unless you're ready to experience ranges of emotions that could break you down.​

The Soul Mate

If you have ever met someone and felt an instant connection, whether it's a passionate spark or simply an inexplicable knowing between the two of you, this could be a sign that the person is one of your soulmates. Yes ONE. Contrary to what you may have heard, you can have countless soulmates in one life time. 

Personally I have already encountered five of mine.

However all of these connections are not found in a romantic relationship. You will be able to identify, with a strong sense of knowing, whether a soulmate connection is a romantic one or not. 

When you meet a romantic soulmate it will have a comfortable, familiar feeling of being home, like you have known this person forever.

How To Know The Difference: The Similarities
​

There is A Deep Connection

Soulmate and twin flame connections can feel the same initially. The bond will be deep and meaningful from the beginning. The pull that you feel will be hard to deny whether you have just encountered them or known them for years.

There Are Profound Lessons With Both

It is believed that twin flames assist each other in resolving any issues or insecurities they have. This individual ignites a process of discovery within you. Soulmates can play a similar role but the potency is not as strong. These individuals are in each others lives learn lessons and learn lessons usually through pain.

The Relationship Can Be Romantic

Not all soulmate relationships are romantic though they can be. Your closest family members and friends can also be your soulmate. Twin flame relationships on the other hand are always of a romantic nature. 

How To Know The Difference: The Differences
​

Twin Flame Relationships Can Be Challenging

Soulmate relationships can feel effortless and very easy to navigate and connect with. Twin flame relationships can be an entirely different experience. Though the twin flame is a romantic sexual relationship it can be a very difficult one to navigate. The twin flame relationship is karmic meaning whatever lifetime you incarnate together in there is usually a debt that needs to be paid. 

Twin Flames Expose Your Insecurities
​
Soulmates can be your biggest cheerleaders however twin flames amplify your insecurities. The reason for this is the twin flame relationship supports you in addressing your inner self. The twin flame relationship can be extremely uncomfortable as it highlights all of the insecure qualities you have avoided facing for yourself. Though the twin flame journey is not necessarily one of "comfort" it is very much about finding unity.

Twin flames need to find their individual truth to experience their Divine connection.

The Effortless Twin Flame Communication
​
Twin flames don't need words. A huge sign that you have encountered your twin flame will be your powerful ability to communicate non-verbally with each other. Communication between twin flames mostly occurs through the aura and subtle body. It's the closest experience to telepathy we can ever have. 

Soulmates Are Not Always Romantically Involved.

Romantic love is not always the experience between soulmates. Most of these relationships are of a platonic nature. A partner can be a soulmate however parents, children, best friends, and siblings can be a soulmate as well. A soulmate can be anyone that we experience a deep, soul connection with. Your twin flame connection will always be experienced in a romantic partner. 

Soulmates Can Come In Multiple Persons

You only have one twin flame but your soulmates can be many in your current lifetime. As souls, we travel through life times with our soul family and/or soul group. When you experience a strong connection with someone the theory suggests that they could be part of your extended soul family.

What You Might Be Asking
​

Can I Marry My Twin Flame?

Yes but I caution you that you should go through your own personal healing journey first. The twin flame relationship is designed to bring you face-to-face with issues you need to heal and learn from in this lifetime. The twin flame relationship can be experienced within marriage, however it can have a heavy mental and emotional toll on you if you are dealing with unresolved and unhealed S.H.I.T. (Shame Hurt Insecurities & Triggers).

Can Your Soulmate and Twin Flame Be The Same Person?

The chances of one person falling into both categories is unlikely. While you can have many soulmates you only have one twin flame.

When Do Twin Flames Meet?

Before you connect with your twin flame there is a process of self-discovery that should take place first. Remember, you are two halves of one soul so you likely experience the same life challenges and issues. I wouldn't recommend seeking your twin flame if you are not whole mentally and emotionally. If you are both challenged mentally and emotionally the relationship will encounter a lot of painful mess. When you do your inner healing work and learn from your individual experiences, you can elevate your vibration to encounter your twin flame. 

What is the Purpose of the Twin Flame Relationship?

Why do I need a twin flame if the relationship is hard? Although the twin flame relationship can be painful at times, this unique partnership is more about the bigger, Divine plan. Twin flames connect to accomplish bigger things together. Their mission is always connected to elevating humanity as a whole. When you encounter your twin flame the connection will be instant and undeniable.

How Will I Know I've Met My Twin Flame?

There are a few signs that can tell you whether you've met your twin flame. The twin flame will mirror back to you everything you haven't dealt with when you're with them. Even though the connection is intense one half of the twin flame will always be tempted to run while the other will be on the chase. The relationship has a runner-chaser dynamic and is difficult. The relationship is extremely tense emotionally and tends to move very quickly. It is accompanied by much frustration and just as many tears.
