Twin Flames - Soul Mates

What is a Soul Mate? A soul mate is someone who comes into your life for a period of time to help your growth and vice versa, to challenge you in some aspects, to help you learn some lessons that your soul has wanted to learn as well as experience some of what you wanted to experience. I do believe that not all of these soul mate encounters are deemed "pleasant" at the time, but these relationships help us to evolve and to move up on the ladder to the ultimate divine connection with another soul. Through these relationships, we have many opportunities to release the old way of being with another: our beliefs, emotions, reactions and interactions. There can be multiple challenges that arise to allow us to choose to let go of the ego and fear based thinking and reacting that cannot survive on a higher level of love. Ultimately this is where we intend to be..

What is a Twin Flame? A Twin Flame is someone whose vibration is on the same frequency as your own, but has the opposite essence, female or male. Coming together is the complete balancing of male and female energies. Many people say that the twin flame is your other half and this is true but you do not need each other to be complete. You are complete and whole on your own...and the times of physical separation from your twin, allow for you to feel and know this. When you come together, there is an extension of your completeness that occurs. The desire to be with one another comes from the love that you hold within you for this one, however you are both complete on your own, and it is through connecting with their essence inside of you that eventually draws them to you in the physical. You then are able to share the love in you with each other, and then extend it outwards to the world.
