The PURPOSE of the TWIN FLAME journey! (How is it to meet your other half)

So many people dream about meeting their other half and have a “happily ever after” kind of love life! If you are one of these people and would like to know what the spiritual literature has to say about the twin flame journey, for sure this post is for you!

I will start explaining the difference between the concepts of soulmates and twin flames. Soulmates are souls that belong to the same group as you and you have many. You will meet som of them in your life in different roles (family, friends, lovers) and the duration of these encounters might be something between 5 minutes and a lifetime.

The twin flame concept is different! When the consciousness comes to this world of dualities, it splits in two halves. Everybody has a twin flame, but not everybody is destined to meet or be together with their other half in this life.

The journey of meeting your twin flame is described as being very spiritual, where each half has to work out their karma and evolve spiritually until they can meet, and when they are at the same level, they will unite to ascend to other levels of consciousness.

Now, there is something I need to mention about this concept, it was first introduced by the philosopher Plato and nowadays is found mainly in the spiritual groups, but in the past life hypnotherapy material that I’ve studied, I never read anything about it.

As far as I can remember, there is nothing about twin flames in the books by Dolores Cannon and Michael Newton, what usually their clients describe are agreements and contracts with different soulmates in various lives.

When there are marriage agreements, it’s not every incarnation that your souls chooses to have this kind of experience, they might be karmic or with soulmates. When they are karmic, the intention is to balance energies and they tend to be a difficult relationship. When they are with a soulmate, is an easy going relationship with a soul friend, where the goal is to grow and evolve together.

The reason why you have different partners in different lives is because you want to grow and evolve, and if you stick always to the same person, that will not happen!

If you know a hypnosis book from a renowned author that talks about the twin flame concept, please let me know in the comments because I would love to read this book.

The twin flames journey is described as being very intense and painful, which is normal because usually spiritual journeys require you to work on your emotional wounds and expand beyond your ego, and that always hurts!

Not always the twin flames stay together in this life, different people on the internet talk about various phases in this kind of relationship, on today’s post I will summarize them in five.

1 – The Fairy Tale

The first phase is called fairy tale! The beginning of the relationship makes you feel like in heaven, you meet a wonderful person with whom you have an amazing connection, that fulfills you and gives you everything that you need… it’s like if you whole world started to make a lot of sense!

Twin flames work like the yin-yang symbol, which means that in the centre they have exactly the same energetic vibration, and all the rest are like opposites that fit perfectly!

But these polarities won’t allow peace to remain for a long time and soon the second phase starts, which is called roller coaster!

2 – Roller Coaster

During this phase, you might expect your insecurities to come up along your deepest emotional wounds. Some of these wounds are:

Fear of abandonment
I’m not good enough
I don’t deserve
I’m not lovable

Besides mirroring your needs, desires and dreams, your twin flame will also mirror your shadows so you can work on them, and this process can be quite painful and devastating! And that’s why some people say that the twin flame journey is not about being together, is about improving yourself.

After going through a very intense emotional roller coaster, full of ups and downs, won’t take long until you reach the third phase, which is called chaser and runner dynamics.

3 – Chaser and Runner Dynamics

As the name says, the relationship becomes a cat and mouse game, where usually the most spiritually evolved soul chases the other, and the one running shuts down emotionally because the feelings are too overwhelming to handle.

Depending on the spiritual maturity level that both souls have, this dynamic of chasing and running might last for years! During the physical separation phases, two problems become evident:

1 – You cannot cut energetic cords with your twin flame because it is part of your own soul
2 – You remain telepathically connected to your twin flame even without having contact for years

And the only way out from this painful situation, is to move to the fourth phase which is called surrender and dissolution.

4 – Surrender and Dissolution

You will be at this phase only when you dissolve all your ego’s needs about how this relationship must happen, and when you surrender and trust the perfection of divine timing!

The twin flame journey is about personal and spiritual growth, and meeting your other half doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be together on this reincarnation, so there is a possibility that the fifth phase does not happen.

5 – Union

This phase will only happen when both souls are ready to unite and ascend to other levels of consciousness. As they have the same soul mission and vision, when they unite, they will do some sort of work that will benefit humanity.

After they give their contribution to the collective, they will ascend and they will no longer reincarnate in the physical levels, which explains why I never read anything about twin flames in past life hypnotherapy books.

Now, pay attention! There are many toxic and dysfunctional relationships that people believe to be twin flames, and they are not! In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s a soulmate or a twin flame, if the person is helping you to bring to the surface your emotional wounds and shadows, take advantage of the situation and work on yourself so you can grow and evolve!
