I’m working on an article where I share my twin flame journey. I will publish it here on my website once it’s ready, and it will be my most vulnerable article so far. But I want to share my journey and some insights into what it can be like to meet your twin flame. 

I have seen a lot of information and discussions about twin flames lately and throughout the years, and a lot of it doesn’t resonate with my experience.

Part of it has to do with the fact that many people writing about or discussing twin flames haven’t met their twin flame and had the experience themselves. 

And as with most things in spirituality, direct experience is everything. The concepts can help us explain and understand our experiences further, but without direct experience, they are just concepts or ideas. 

A myth

One thing I see a lot is the belief that the twin flame relationship is romantic. 

Of course, it can be romantic. It is a deep, unconditional love that goes beyond what we have experienced before meeting our twin flame. But the twin flame connection is not the typical love relationship or smooth sailing, happy-couple romance. 

The twin flame is not here to take our pain away. Or they are, but not in the way we usually look at relationships through our cultural lenses. 

The twin flame will not help us escape our pain. They will rather stir up our pain and bring it into the light so that we can see what we are running from – to help us face and heal it so that we can free ourselves. 

So, if we want someone who will support us in staying where we are, or if we are unwilling to process our old wounds, the twin flame is not the right person. They may hold our hand as we walk through our pain but will not help us cover anything up. 

The twin flame journey is part of the awakening journey, and we can go through the awakening journey with or without our twin flame. 

But again, our twin flame will not pat us on the back and help us hold our pain down – they will trigger us and bring it up so that we can free ourselves and heal.
