TWIN FLAME HEALING: UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS

 

Encountering our Twin Flame sparks an intensified yearning for a sense of "home," a quest that, for many of us, commenced long before we were acquainted with the concept of "twin flames." Perhaps you, too, recall instances when the distant recollection of this place stirred within, evoking a profound longing, sorrow, or an unspoken yearning for an indescribable destination. Similar to my experience, you may have felt driven to seek whatever could fill that void, offering inner peace.

My pursuit of this elusive "home" began in early childhood, even before any understanding of reincarnation or the soul. It was a sense of being misplaced, not solely based on physical distinctions (dark-eyed and dark-haired in a land of blue-eyed blondes) but also an inner displacement. Captivated by diverse cultures, particularly North Africa and the Arabic world—where incidentally, my Twin spent his formative years.

Around the age of seven, I sensed the presence of another being within my energetic space. In dreams, this entity materialized, and together we'd sit atop dunes beneath the crescent moon, gazing upon tranquil towns, and sharing dreams. Though imaginary, our unity became the inspiration for childhood games, drawings, and stories about eternal lovers transcending illusions to reunite.

This encounter isn't uncommon; many maintain a genuine connection to their Twin Flame long before meeting. Twin flames possess the ability to bridge time and space, sensing details like their twin's name or location. Later in life, some are guided to travel or relocate, crossing paths with their twin flame. At 17, after a profound experience in Paris, I took a leap of faith, sensing proximity to the elusive "home" I yearned for. Six years later, in that very city, I met my twin.

Although Paris provided a fleeting sense of peace, the year leading to our encounter was marked by obsessive global travels for both of us. The anticipation of something long sought made us restless until, unexpectedly, he appeared—HOME. At that moment, I recognized that he was the missing piece I had sought. All feelings of not belonging evaporated as I realized he not only saw me fully but also loved and accepted me completely.

Our meeting was not coincidental; the journey home is a path traversed long before awakening to the concept of twin flames. The yearning for home is deeply ingrained, and being with our Twin Flame satisfies a part of this hunger through physical, emotional, and spiritual nourishment. However, the soul's desire to reunite with its original state remains, and the journey truly begins when we crave the initial feeling of oneness with the Source or God.

Some may catch glimpses of "home" in meditation or dreams, with the yearning to return at times overpowering the desire for earthly existence. For my twin and me, the yearning preceded our meeting, catalyzing our reunion and a constant element in our connection.

Our first conversation after my three-year period of avoidance was poignant. He asked, "Where is your home, Jonna?" This question resonated deeply, considering our shared restlessness as travelers living far from our places of birth. He felt like the closest thing to home I had ever known, the one who could lead me there.

His question lingered, inspiring my first heartfelt piece of writing. I poured out my soul, describing a lifetime of feeling misplaced, the unquenchable longing, and the certainty that "home" was somewhere out there. Home, I realized, is not just a place; it's a feeling of acceptance, warmth, and being truly oneself. Meeting the person who takes you there is a profound experience, an immediate recognition of a timeless connection that transforms life.

She is someone who can read you like an open book, comprehending you in ways beyond the reach of others. Unlike the rest of the world with its skeptical glances, she lacks the raised eyebrow look because she possesses an intimate knowledge of your innermost self—a discovery that continues to unfold. You both share an identical soul blueprint and soul energy, an essence that aligns perfectly. Like the two sides of a coin, you are distinct yet interconnected. Together, you establish a harmonious equilibrium, transcending the sum of your parts. Each element fits seamlessly into the other, interlocking like Roman rings, flexible yet never breaking apart. As one moves inward, the other effortlessly fills the gap; when one overflows, space always exists to channel that abundance toward the other.

The potency of her love isn't found in the directives she imparts, but in the inspiration she sparks within you. The measure of her love is not gauged by how much you can love her, but by the way it enables you to love others. She recognizes the need for you to embark on an inner journey to recognize the other within yourself, understanding that it might involve detours and mistaken identities. Thus, her love grants you the freedom to explore life with whomever you wish, confident that it will guide you back HOME—to her in the end.

This love is not without its trials. Being with this person is akin to cradling your sacred self while confronting every shadow, every facet of yourself, leaving no room for concealment. It possesses the potential to catalyze profound inner healing, requiring you to confront aspects of yourself long avoided—the mirror of YOU in the other reflecting all that resides within you.

As your mirror, she compels you to experience yourself directly, bypassing past experiences, beliefs, and ego, guiding you through your heart and soul. She prompts you to delve deeper, reach higher, and illuminate the painful aspects you've avoided. You must undergo a process of emptying to allow light to fill you.

There will be days when you feel so lost that you wish she never existed, and there will be days when you question if she ever truly did, existing only in your imagination. Some days will feel like madness as you grapple with failure. Yet, on other days, the mirage transforms into an oasis, offering a respite in her arms—just enough to "be" and feel her as a part of YOU again.

The journey to recognizing our true home may involve extensive travel, passing it by like a ship in the night. Perhaps we're not ready to face it or are gripped by fear and doubt. While we traverse, the flame of our soul burns brightly, guiding the separated parts of the soul back home to the heart of the soul.

So, if you inquire about my home, this is my response: Within weeks of sharing the above sentiments with my Twin, we experienced a beautiful and intense reunion. Even years later, he remains the closest semblance of home I have ever known, and I trust that one day we will return "home" together. Our ultimate homecoming signifies a return to our original state of Oneness, to the source of our eternal life. Viewing the twin flame connection and its challenges and blessings as steps toward this return instills a sense of peace that might otherwise be elusive.

Rest assured, even if your Twin flame is not physically present, comfort can be found in their energetic and spiritual presence. The Earth itself begins to feel more like home simply because it exists. The journey home transcends the desire for a physical connection, delving into a "deeper longing than the flesh"—that of a shared consciousness. At this level, you are already ONE, in UNION—even when everything else seems uncertain. Even when your Twin flame is physically absent, you can still heal, evolve, and live without feeling an internal void. The twin is within you for you to connect with, enjoy, and love, whether near or far. Embracing this joyful realization is a part of coming home.
