Twin Flame, Soul Mates and Karmic Relationships

My experiences and understanding.

With the curiosity based on spirituality growing, there has been lots of talk about what a Twin Flame, Soulmate and Karmic relationships are. I believe they all have underlining factors with their definition, but each experience varies with the person. That is the beauty of spirituality! There’s no black and white, just a vastness of grey which we individually get to see more and more shades of every day. Love is one of those seas of grey we must venture for ourselves and learn the lessons that it brings and/or accept the blessings.

Soulmates can be multiple and honestly, from what I have seen, they come in friendship form more than anything. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you will find soulmates that are there with pure acceptance and understanding for you. They help make you feel at peace, and give you the love you need wherever you are on your path. If you are a soul-searcher like me and put elevating your self as a primary goal in life, your soul will change with from your morals to acceptance of yourself and others. As your spiritual and emotional intelligence grows, so will your soul. I feel like there is never any true love lost in these relationships, even if the distance or intensity fizzles out over the years. As long as you're open to love, it will find you!

Twin Flames can be tricky. Someone can misconstrue a lot of the known traits and cycle of this relationship as a toxic, like the relationship between a narcissist and empath. I am lucky enough to have met my twin-flame. Romantically, we are either amazing or horrible. There was no in between. It is literally like a battle within yourself that is projected from another person. We were so much alike it was like looking into a mirror, but at the time, I didn't realize it. We were friends for years before we dated and I was so fond of him because we had so much in common. There was an age difference which kept me at bay for a while, but eventually I said fuck it and went with my heart.

We lasted for 8 years. We have been apart for 7 but our connection, love and mutual respect for each other has never died. There hasn’t been and I doubt that there will be anyone who understands me, loves me unconditionally and even knows me better than I know myself-other than that person. There’s a lot of those that believe our spiritual elevation involves being with your twin flame in the end, but in my experience, I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that's unquestionably true.

Karmic relationships undoubtedly hurt me the most and shaped me to be who I am. If it wasn’t for the pain and underlying lessons I experienced in these connections, I wouldn’t have found spirituality and its practices that have helped me in ALL aspects of my life! Karmic relationships also made me look inwards at myself, and with certain behaviors being done to me from these partners, I knew the pain I inflicted in the past from doing the same things to others. That’s a hard pill to swallow with the guilt and shame that carries with the self realization, but learning the lesson and never repeating the negative behaviors helps you elevate as a person in your path.

I was not loved correctly as a child, and some of my adult friendships and relationships mirrored that. Karmic relationships are not always negative and hurtful. Thankfully, I learned how to love from people that never gave up on me and gave me the unconditional love I always craved and needed. Then I took that inward and started to give myself the love that I was searching for everywhere else. That in itself was the most powerful thing I could have ever learned in this life, no matter how late it was!
