What is a Twin Flame?

A twin flame is a soul you met before birth when you were a soul without a body.

You and this soul made a pre-birth pact to be born into bodies in this lifetime with the intent to come together at some point on your journeys to fulfill a shared purpose.

Twin flames share parallel journeys before they meet each other, which ultimately guide them to reunite with each other on earth.

Twin flame relationships are usually romantic partnerships and someone you might call your other half.

Their shared journey together continues after one of them crosses over into heaven.

If one twin flame passes away before the other, the twin flame in Spirit becomes a Guardian Spirit, like a Guardian Angel, for their living partner.

Spirit has shown in readings that twin flames are like two beams of light running alongside each other into eternity.

There is no beginning or end to the journey these beams of light, twin flames share, they continue forever.

For this reason, twin flame relationships are eternal bonds that transcend death.

A few commonly asked questions about twin flames:

What is the meaning of the concept “Twin Flame?”


When someone is your twin flame, it means that your souls were destined to be together through a pre-chartered soul agreement that both souls made.

You and your twin flame will fulfill a shared purpose, which may or may not be clear to you at the time that you meet, but the purpose will become clear over time.

What’s the difference between twin flames versus soulmates?

A twin flame relationship can be a soulmate relationship, but not all soulmate relationships are twin flame relationships.

Twin flame relationships are usually intimate, deeply bonded relationships. 

You may live with a twin flame. You may share your secrets with them. You may form contracts with them. You may have children with them.

Soulmates are souls in your soul group who support you on your path and you, them. These relationships may be romantic or not.

In the world of soul based relationships, think of soulmates as a general relationship type and twin flames as a sub-type. 

What does twin flame energy feel like?

Meeting and being with a twin flame can feel like destiny, intensity, familiarity, safety, a blessing, a prayer answered, bliss and happiness.

You may feel as though you have a telepathic and empathic connection with your twin flame.

Are twin flames meant to be together?

Yes, twin flames are meant to be together as part of their shared soul path.

You do not have to chase or force a twin flame relationship, twin flame relationships naturally come about through a mix of divinely aligned circumstances.

Do twin flames ever marry?


Some twin flames marry, some don’t. They will marry if the circumstances align for them to do so, but it is not the purpose of every twin flame relationship to become married.

Though marriage isn’t always involved, twin flames often do legally become intertwined in other ways. For example, they may own property or go into business together, as part of fulfilling their shared purpose.

When do twin flames meet?

Twin flames can come at any time in your life. These relationships come together whenever there is an opportunity and both parties are open to having an intimate relationship.

What happens if you don’t meet your twin flame?

If you’re reading this right now, and don’t think you’ve met your twin flame yet, there is still a chance you will meet a twin flame.

But if you don’t meet your twin flame ever, nothing serious happens.

Can you only have one Twin Flame?

While many people experience the twin flame bond just once, you can have more than one “twin flame” in a single lifetime. Twin flames relationships are two souls coming together in a form of shared oneness consciousness.

Since we are all part of oneness consciousness, there can be multiple flames you can create shared oneness consciousness with in this lifetime.

When you’re separated from a twin flame, you may still be able to feel their presence at a distance. There is no “true” separation, even in death, because the souls stay connected.

Twin flame bonds are some of the most sacred of all the relationships we will ever have on earth. When you have the opportunity to meet yours, cherish every moment you have with them.
