THE INTENSE LOVE SHARED BETWEEN TWO REUNITED TWIN FLAMES RESEMBLES AN UNTAMED BEAST.
It defies capture, containment, and taming. Instead, it blazes with an untamed intensity that is both exhilarating and formidable. The love encountered between twin flames is akin to Sacred Fire: it consumes you utterly, yet it molds you anew, much like a Phoenix emerging from the ashes.
Although every twin flame relationship is intricate and cannot be oversimplified, a general pattern often emerges in these unions. Having experienced the fusion of twin flames firsthand, I understand the overwhelming and sometimes daunting nature of such an encounter. I would have greatly appreciated reading an article about common signs of twin flames during those bewildering times. However, at that point, I did not know the twin flames or their significance. Therefore, I would like to offer what I lacked: a broad guide that can help steer you and help you identify your current position.
8 PRIMARY STAGES OF THE TWIN FLAME JOURNEY
Twin flames are believed to be entities that aid our souls in seeking wholeness. The concept of souls "split in two," perpetually yearning to find their "other halves," was originally formulated by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. This notion of discovering our "other half" persists today, although regrettably, we often believe that finding another person is essential for our completeness. It's important to remember that while twin flames indeed assist us in experiencing unconditional love and personal growth, not everyone finds their twin flames, nor do all of us require twin flames to feel whole.
Furthermore, it's worth noting that the degree of harmony experienced in a twin flame relationship is influenced by the maturity of our souls. For instance, two mature souls are better equipped to handle challenges than two less mature souls.
With this in mind, what are the eight major stages typically encountered in a twin flame relationship?
STAGE ONE – LONGING FOR "THE ONE"
In this initial phase, you've spent your entire life yearning for the yet-to-be-found "One." You experience a peculiar sensation that someone perfectly attuned to you exists "out there," although you're uncertain of where or when they'll enter your life. Despite yearning for your twin flame, you possess a belief that they'll eventually appear.
During this stage, you might also unconsciously engage in preparatory actions for the arrival of your twin flame. In my case, I had to learn self-love before encountering mine. For others, this preparatory phase involves self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-understanding.
STAGE TWO – GLIMPSE OF "THE ONE"
At a certain point, you catch a fleeting glimpse of your twin flame. This might happen through a dream signal or a real-life encounter, but suddenly, you sense the presence of your Beloved. The impact is profound, evoking emotions of wonder, joy, anxiety, and intoxication. Those who are cautious may experience an enduring curiosity and a desire to get to know the person better. You can't quite define it, but this person is undeniably special. Like me, you might even intuit that this person will play a pivotal role in your life, even before you truly know them.
STAGE THREE – FALLING IN LOVE
When you fall for this person, you fall intensely and deeply. The fall is more profound than any you've experienced before, leaving you breathless. As you become more acquainted with your twin flame, your love for them intensifies. Consequently, staying grounded becomes a challenge. You may feel disoriented, lovestruck, and as if you're deviating from your usual self. You might even attempt to resist the attraction, but eventually, you accept that you're irrevocably in love.
STAGE FOUR – THE FAIRY-TALE BOND
After both of you express your feelings and enter a relationship, life takes on the hues of a fairy tale. Your connection with your twin flame seems flawless in every conceivable way. It's as if they meet every need and desire you've ever had. This taste of "paradise" represents the matured form of a twin flame relationship, achieved after navigating through subsequent stages of turbulence.
STAGE FIVE – EXTERNAL TURMOIL AND INTERNAL CLEANSING
During this phase, trouble arises in paradise. As the initial ecstasy wanes, egos begin to clash. Differences in opinions, preferences, and personalities emerge, along with long-buried wounds. While twin flames reflect and share our deepest needs, desires, and dreams, they also mirror our shadow selves. For instance, if you're emotionally repressed, your twin flame might exhibit emotional explosiveness. If you're prone to arrogance, your twin flame could lean towards uncertainty and reticence. Thus, twin flames challenge us, stirring our insecurities. This can be infuriating, devastating, and painful.
Despite the tumultuous arguing and conflicts during this stage, they're pivotal for personal growth. Without provocation, without seeing our true selves, we remain in illusion and fail to evolve on a soulful level. However, it's challenging to recognize this amidst relationship turbulence.
STAGE SIX – THE PURSUER AND THE PURSUED
As tensions escalate, one partner (or sometimes both) might withdraw emotionally or physically, becoming the "runner," while the other becomes the "chaser," engaging in a game of cat and mouse. This can involve emotional shutdowns and silent treatments, or even physical separation, and in extreme cases, the permanent termination of the relationship. In this stage, twin flames undergo a trial by fire. Some relationships endure and strengthen, while others crumble. As I mentioned earlier, this outcome hinges on the maturity of each partner's soul. Sometimes, one partner leaves for years and then returns, repeating the cycle. The chaser usually possesses greater mental and emotional maturity, striving to mend and reconcile.
STAGE SEVEN – ACCEPTANCE AND DISSOLUTION
Once the shadows within the relationship are revealed, a period of surrender often follows. After enduring anguish, distress, and provocation, both partners start opening up about their wounds and vulnerabilities. During this stage, ego dissolution and soulful expansion are common. As the ego softens, profound lessons are learned about oneself and the other. As differences are navigated, the relationship matures, deepening and fortifying the connection.
It's normal to cycle through stages six and seven multiple times in a relationship.
STAGE EIGHT – UNITY
As challenges become more manageable, a sense of soulful reunion emerges. During stage eight, both partners often discover a shared purpose, passion, or cause that brings mutual fulfillment. With the continued relaxation of the ego, qualities like forgiveness, understanding, empathy, and patience are cultivated. As you diligently address each issue together, the sensation of "Oneness" or ego dissolution grows stronger.
