You've heard of soulmates, but now twin flames? The concept of twin flame seems like it's new, but it actually existed since the beginning of time, and has been acknowledged in many cultures. Although soulmates and twin flames get confused for the other, there are significant differences between the two.
SOULMATES
If you're like most people, you've imagined that there is one soulmate for which you are destined to spend the rest of your life with. The reality is that you have many soulmates who are a part of your soul family. Before reincarnation, you've agreed on the roles that you will have in each other's lives during your existence on earth, and the timing in which the events will occur. Each of your soulmates will appear at various moments in your life to teach you lessons about yourself. Every lesson you learn from them will bring you closer to your Divine self, and to be in union with your Ultimate Soulmate - the person you will enjoy having a long-lasting, harmonious relationship with. However, soulmates are not always a relationship partner. They may include family members, friends, teachers, coworkers, etc. Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection and a strong bond with them? That's because this person is one of your soulmates, and your souls have recognized each other.
TYPES OF SOULMATE CONNECTIONS
Your soulmate connection may either be loving or karmic. A relationship with a loving soulmate feels easy. This is because the two of you have each learned the lessons presented to you in previous relationships, developed self-love, and feel like a complete person individually. You and your Ultimate Soulmate will match each other's vibration, which enables you to have a clear understanding of one other. Your relationship will seem magical as the two of you will inspire each other to grow emotionally and spiritually in all areas of your lives.
A life with a karmic soulmate is the opposite. The relationship is difficult, painful, and extremely challenging. Karmic soulmates come into your life to challenge your insecurities. These lessons include attachment issues and boundary settings. An avoidant attachment style, or fear of attachment, causes you to deny your needs because of shame for having them. You'll shut down emotionally in relationships, and develop a fear of receiving love and attention from your partner. Ultimately, you'll push your partner away, or you'll provide your love from a distance. This attachment style is a result from having an emotionally unavailable parent who was non-responsive to your needs. On the other hand, a fear of abandonment attachment style causes you to hold onto toxic relationships because of your fear of failing and being alone. You'll be anxious, clingy, controlling, and highly emotional, which has developed from having a parent who is inconsistent with fulfilling your needs. You've learned to latch out to feel heard by the parent, but yet continue to feel incomplete and empty inside when your parent responds. Subconsciously, you choose a partner who is similar to your parent, and the pattern of trying to "fix" the relationship with your parent continues with your intimate partner. A karmic relationship is not meant to last for a long time. However, most people tend to hold on to karmic relationship longer than necessary because they believe they have found their Ultimate Soulmate. When you are able to release yourself from this type of relationship, you can truly start healing past wounds that have led this person to enter your life. It is important to learn the lesson provided, so it won't repeat itself in the next one. If you don't truly heal from the lesson, it will keep repeating itself until you do. In other words, you will keep attracting the same type of karmic partner until you acknowledge the lesson and work on healing it.
TWIN FLAMES
You will know when you've met your soulmate because the connection will be like no other. Many people confuse the intense attraction they have with an "amazing" person who seems "too good to be true" with twin flame. It's not. Your connection with your twin flame is much deeper than this.
Unlike soulmates, you have one twin flame. Your souls originated as one soul that split into two complete souls. You've traveled through many lifetimes together as lovers or simply teachers for one another.
Twin flames are reunited on the same energetic level, which is usually in low vibration. This energetic level is accompanied with unresolved insecurities, and may include addictions, such as smoking, drugs, alcohol, and sex. This is the reason the relationship seem toxic in the beginning. Because the twin flames are resembling karmic soulmates, many twins doubt whether they found their twin flame in the first place. The unconditional love shared by twin flames feels so intense, and the connection is extremely magnetic, that it causes one twin who isn't ready for it to run away from it. The runner twin can't believe that it's possible to have this type of connection with a person. Their personal turmoil make them feel undeserving of it, and they fear hurting their twin. The twin flame who is left behind is unhealthily attached to the intense connection. Out of fear of losing it, they chase the running twin with their obsessive thoughts and actions. A harmonious relationship occurs after both twins have resolved their inner conflicts and insecure attachment styles, align with their Divine self and purpose, and release any control and expectations from their twin.
