How do you know this is a twin flame journey and not just heartbreak? Couldn't one person think there was a deep connection but the other never felt it? What's so different about a twin flame connection compared to a regular relationship?
The main difference is that an ordinary relationship, or even a deeply romantic one, will not awaken your especially heart chakras, nor will it trigger your Kundalini. Once you meet your twin, attraction will be inevitable and the first sentence that pops into your head: I know this person. There's a recognition, that following her, you remember past lives, you can cry uncontrollably, you feel like you've met someone you've been dreaming of seeing again for a long time, and just want to hold his hand.
So no, meeting your twin is way, way beyond the equivalent of a normal relationship. How do you know this is true? How are twin flame relationships different from others?
Your twin will calm your energy but also push you to evolve into the best version of yourself. It will prepare you to be triggered repeatedly to heal all your wounds. It will have you go deep into your spiritual center to dig into your pain so that you can let go of the energy associated with those pains that have been forgotten all along.
Your twin is YOU in another embodied physical body.
This is not a normal "relationship". It doesn't start with adorable affection. It mostly starts with confusion and strange cosmic experiences. It begins with soul recognition. Your twin looks into your soul to activate your connection.
You will be thrown into situations and what seem like painful realities that you will have to go through. You will be asked to believe on a higher level, the deep love you have for your twin will never dissipate no matter what.
You balance the energy of your twin and your own. It is first of all a deep spiritual connection, with many other facets. You don't see her from her emotional side but rather from her spiritual side.
This connection transcends all “traditional” concepts of relationships that you would never know. It's not a romance (at least not at first). It can go into romance, but deep love will make both of you pull back to heal that trigger. Once cured, you no longer react the same way.
The twin flame transforms the connections that reconnect your heart to your head. You go from a logical mind to a creative and intuitive mind. But, it takes time and a lot of inner work.
Trust that you can't break to leave the connection. Trust that whatever you do/want to do will not come true as you are being guided and directed by a higher force. You must go through the pain (not avoid it) to heal it.
You must allow everything that happens each day to be perfect for your evolution. It is a fusion of many layers of your soul. A complex part of growing your soul. It doesn't compare to any type of normal relationship you'll ever experience.
