What is a twin flame, and how do I find mine? Now if you were to look it up in an urban dictionary, but you probably weren’t because it’s blocked on the school chrome books; you would get this definition: “ Twin flames are our most perfect mirrors, because they are us in another body. Our twin flames are the only ones who give us a true and honest reflection of who we are…” (UrbanDictionary.com). Now I don’t disagree with that answer, but after doing research on my own I consider that a broad statement. Something to keep in mind as we move on, twin flames aren’t to be mistaken as soulmates. 

“A twin flame is an intense soul connection with someone thought to be a person’s other half, sometimes called a mirror soul. It comes from the idea that one soul is split into two bodies however they remain individual”, states Sarah Regan, an mbg spirituality, and relationship writer. Her thoughts along with popular opinion suggest that twin flames show you your deepest insecurities, fears, and shadows, but they also help you overcome them and vice versa—your twin flame will be equally affected by you. Everyone has a twin flame, but sometimes deep soul connections are hard to find. Let’s find out if you’ve met your twin flame? 

One, when you met, there was instant recognition. They feel familiar—an undeniably intense bond as though you have known them before. Two, you’re very similar. You and your twin flame may find that you have a lot in common as far as values, past experiences, and interests. Three, you complement each other. A twin flame mirrors you, you’re likely very aware of how your relationship highlights your shadows, and theirs. Four, your insecurities and doubts are amplified. This type of relationship will reflect your problems and deepest insecurities so you can work through them to heal and grow. Five, you guys feel magnetic. From the moment you met and still to this day, you feel drawn to them physically when they’re near you, as well as magnetically, when you’re apart. It’s as though their energy is always with you, always wanting to be closer.

Twin flames are so connected at a soul level, they feel things deeper together. Being with a twin flame is like constantly being confronted by yourself, and although the relationship may not be smooth sailing you guys always find a way back to one another. “The chase” is most definitely a part of the twin flame relationship. At some point, one of you may walk away, out of fear, anger—you name it. However you’ll find that things just keep bringing you together in random ways. Could be months, years, even decades; you just always find your way back to one another. Do you know who your twin flame is?
