Life is a journey, along this journey we meet many different people. Some may become lifelong friends, others may only be in our lives temporarily.
On the rare occasion though we may come across someone whom we resonate very deeply with - so deep in fact it becomes an unforgettable experience.
This could very well be your twin flame and here, we will describe the different stages and what you can expect.
Stages of the Twin Flame Journey
The twin flame journey has a powerful start. Whether your meeting is accidental or not, it comes with an incredibly intense lighting up of the soul.
It may also start at an early age, when you are looking for the one who can truly understand you. This could be when your journey starts. It would, therefore, be interesting to explore the stages of the twin flame journey from this point onward.
1. The Stage of Actively Seeking or Looking
The twin flame journey can start at any time in life. Sometimes this will be early on but more often than not, it can be later on in life when someone looks for that special connection.
During this stage when we are looking for our twin flame, we often have a sense of longing for someone special (not necessarily romantic). These feelings can help guide you towards the right person, so be sure to pay attention to them!
2. The Meeting with your Twin Flame
After covering how you can meet your twin flame - which can be intentional or unintentional, we'll now look at meeting your twin flame for the first time.
Given the strength of feelings involved, meeting your twin flame can involve intense and dynamic emotions which is an intense experience. however, if you don't feel these immediately, don't worry, sometimes they can take time to develop.
It will be the start of an amazing, positive journey in your life - don't expect everything to be perfect from the first moment you meet.
3. How Connected You Are
The deepest connections can occur at your very first meeting - these can be overwhelming but shouldn't be feared, just take it slowly.
It's important to work through these feelings if they do occur very early on. The twin flame relationship is very rewarding and sometimes patience is needed. If it does become overwhelming, try to keep initial contact fairly brief and pace yourself.
This leads to your twin flame (and yourself) finding common ground which is comfortable - be sure to set some boundaries if you feel it's needed. There will usually always be differences.
4. The Blissful Stage
The blissful stage, or sometimes known as the honeymoon stage, will provide a time of bliss and intense connection with each other. Throughout this stage there may be the occasional argument or errors of judgement made on both sides but they can usually be minimized, or sometimes romanticized.
The only drawback to this stage is that potential issues which lay ahead are often ignored to remain in the blissful stage.
5. The Danger Zone
Occasionally, issues in the blissful stage can turn into dangers as the bliss can sometimes cause you to ignore warning signs. It's important to address these early on as they can become more difficult to deal with in the longer term.
Twin flame relationships need to be balanced, be sure to relate any concerns you may have to them, it's important to communicate. Sometimes, we all want to be transparent but are scared of what the truth may be - don't be afraid, speak to them about any small concerns you may have.
6. The Breaking Apart Stage
With everyone's twin flame journey being different, sometimes stage 6 never occurs (in the ideal situation), but occasionally, it does. The conflict which we discussed in the previous stage can sometimes escalate out of control and cause one of the sides to leave.
The bond can be very intense and sometimes so, can be the breakup. Similar to most breakups, it is usually a case of someone leaving whilst the other wishes to resolve.
Resolving differences can be tricky, being patient, understanding and listening to your other half's concerns is very important. Be sure to focus on the amazing connection you both have and the fruits which has bought and can bring. If need be have some space to let things settle down.
7. The Getting Back Together Stage
After a fallout, the twin flames usually come back together, it's not always the case as sometimes people find the connection is too intense and go their separate ways.
It will depend heavily on what the breakup was based on, of course. Usually the issues are relatively small and the amazing journey can continue into the long term future, however it can take time and understanding for any differences to come to an agreement.
It will most likely include compromises on both sides - it's important to remember twin flames can teach each other a wealth of information and useful life skills so try to keep a somewhat open mind.
However, if unresolved it could mean each twin flame moves on separately, the brief connection alone can impart lots of knowledge and wisdom onto the other (and vice versa).
8. The Continuing Together or Not Stage
When twin flames do reconvene, a decision sometimes has to be made. How much time should they spend together, sometimes it can be too intense to be with them everyday - maybe a few days a week is a better fit.
Obviously, this decision needs to be made with both sides sharing their views and what feels most comfortable, sometimes a compromise needs to be made and some boundaries need to be set. This can be reviewed regularly to see how it goes and then make amendments later.
If it does come to separation, always stay positive, think about everything you have learnt and not only that but it's likely a better suited twin flame awaits in your future. So remember, this isn't the end of your journey, but a new beginning.
Conclusion
Remember that all twin flame journeys start somewhere - it can be at any age or situation. Be sure to keep an open mind and to lookout for that someone who can complete you. Remember, it may not be forever but the journey will be hugely rewarding and more potential twin flames can appear in the future.
