TWIN FLAME HEALING: UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS

 

The concepts of twin flames, karmic relationships (or karmic twins), and soulmates are often discussed, but it's important to understand their distinctions and how to differentiate between a karmic relationship and a twin flame mirror soul.

Distinguishing between Twin Flames and Karmic Relationships

Twin flames guide you towards healing and self-improvement, while karmic relationships (or karmic partners) hold you back. It can be challenging to discern the difference as their energies may appear similar and hinder union. Additionally, there are also soulmate relationships, which are distinct from the others.

Clarifying Definitions (Important)

The terminology used in the twin flame journey can be ambiguous, with people sometimes using different names interchangeably. It's normal to experience doubt during the twin flame journey as the energies between these connections can seem alike, making it possible to recognize the difference only in hindsight. If you haven't already, I recommend reading my guide on false twin flames.

Twin Flames

In brief, a twin flame refers to two halves of the same soul. It is a profound spiritual connection that transcends the concept of a conventional happy relationship. Twin flames are inseparable and spend their lives searching for their missing half, whether they are consciously aware of it or not.

This journey is not easy, particularly in a world that lacks understanding of the experience. Both individuals endure their toll, but if you are fortunate enough to be consciously aware of this journey, you are likely on the path to meeting your twin flame. The purpose is to reunite and become one again, representing a love and personal growth that surpasses any other romantic partnership.

Karmic Relationship

Also referred to as a counterfeit twin or karmic soulmate, a karmic relationship is a spiritual term for an unhealthy relationship. It denotes a toxic environment that you need to distance yourself from.

It is important to stress that a karmic relationship is not intentionally harmful. Frequently, individuals mistakenly blame their karmic partner for everything that goes wrong in their twin flame journey. However, karmic partners, or even their karmic partners if they have one, are not deliberately trying to cause harm. They may be unaware of their twin flame journey with someone else. These connections should be handled with respect and ended properly to avoid inviting further negative karma and setbacks on the twin flame journey.

Karmic love relationships embody karmic consequences, often stemming from past lives. They arise when we have personal work and healing to do, and the union with our twin flame cannot occur until this work is completed.

Initially, these relationships may be exciting and fulfilling due to the strong energetic bond. However, they inevitably turn toxic as both individuals must confront past traumas to progress. While karmic partners can hinder your growth, it is important to remember that it is not their fault or yours. These relationships continue until you have done enough spiritual work to proceed on the path toward your true mirror soul.

Not all twin flame journeys involve karmic relationships, but in my experience, it is relatively common.

Soulmates

Once again, without delving too deeply, soulmates represent strong connections. They can manifest as positive relationships with a powerful energetic bond, but they do not compare to your mirror soul.

Soulmates can take various forms, often as romantic partners or close friends. Their primary role is to prepare you for meeting your true twin flame. Soulmates usually contribute to loving relationships and serve as an intermediate step rather than the ultimate destination.

In this regard, they resemble karmic relationships; however, there is no fear associated with soulmates. They entail deep connections and can foster healthy relationships while you await your twin flame.

Identifying a Karmic Relationship

Recognizing a karmic relationship is not always straightforward. In hindsight, the signs become glaringly obvious, and you may question your previous judgment.

At the time, the high energy of a karmic partner may appear beneficial in your life. There are various signs to look for when identifying a karmic relationship:

Feeling stuck in multiple aspects of life, which may extend beyond your love life.

Codependent tendencies within the relationship, hinder personal growth for both individuals.

Experiencing flashes of past lives in dreams or during meditation, particularly highlighting negative aspects that require healing.

Feeling spiritually blocked, unable to focus and progress on your path.

Encountering controlling and manipulative behavior from your karmic partner discourages other relationships.

Experiencing muted or dulled emotions, consistent lethargy, or low energy.

Note: Not every relationship outside the context of a twin flame is a karmic relationship. Many people make this mistake. It is possible to be in a "normal" relationship without a strong spiritual connection. Intense attraction can exist without any spiritual ties, and unfortunate relationships can occur without any karmic lessons attached.

A karmic relationship will inevitably become toxic, even if it may not be apparent at the time. This is in stark contrast to a twin flame journey, which aims to propel both individuals forward. Moving on from a Karmic Relationship

People often remain in karmic relationships for extended periods, sometimes even decades. Even when they know it is not advisable, individuals may return to a karmic partner.

Despite the information shared thus far, one might think that ending such a relationship would be straightforward. However, repeatedly discussing letting go of a false twin flame highlights the challenges involved.

While a twin flame relationship carries an instantaneous connection that transforms your life from the beginning, a karmic relationship functions more like a trap.

The only way to move on from a karmic relationship is by doing enough personal work to progress on your journey. Even if you feel ready, if you haven't reached union, it means the universe has other plans.

To move on, you must be willing to sever the connection, let go of your ego, release the past, and abandon old patterns.

This is not an easy task, especially if you have been in a karmic relationship for an extended period or have children together. However, with sufficient self-work, it is possible, and it is the only way to advance on your twin flame journey.

This may involve taking time for yourself, living independently (without instantly pursuing your twin), and remembering that loving your twin properly necessitates loving yourself first. It can be a patient journey, requiring difficult decisions and uncomfortable conversations.

As the saying goes, "Anything worth having is worth working hard for." This applies to healing from past relationships and finding the correct path forward.
