Have you ever felt a bond with someone so deeply intense? A powerful yearning that your whole body feels as if it’s physically tingling each time you’re with that person?
It’s certainly a different, unusual sensation compared to other relationships you’ve had.
And that feeling and connection don’t go away even after months, years, or decades despite being away from each other and being with a number of different people, despite heightened emotions and endless fights. But you can’t deny it — you two have crazy chemistry that just won’t go away.
You may be experiencing what it feels like to connect with your twin flame, also known as your “mirror soul.” It’s passionate, electric, and so intense that it makes you feel like you’ve been struck by lightning.
Does that sound like something you’ve seen on a cheesy rom-com or read right off the pages of a romance novel?
A twin flame is half of the same divine soul substance. This is based on the idea that a soul gets split into two bodies. And because of their mirroring nature, they unveil your deepest and darkest insecurities, fears, and imbalances. Uncovering fears could feel terrifying as facing these isn’t easy, but a twin flame is also there to help overcome these and vice versa. They will also be affected the same way by you.
Not everyone has the chance to find their twin flame within this lifetime. A twin flame emerges when the soul is ready to go through the process of spiritual awakening and transformation. Some people find that the twin flame connection is too intense, so they never welcome the idea of experiencing it.
Are you ready to find out if your twin flame is trying to connect with you? Here’s a list we’ve put together of 10 crazy signs your twin flame is communicating with you.
1) You dream about your twin flame even before you meet in person
Have you ever experienced vivid dreams where you felt a familiar presence, someone you don’t know in real life, but you instantly warmed up to as if you’ve already met them in the past? And then you wake up with a strong desire to meet this person?
The presence you felt in those dreams is likely your twin flame, even before you’ve realized you had one and they’re trying to communicate with you. You may have even shared a dream with them at some point.
While you sleep, your energetic body is much freer than while you’re awake. And because of this, your soul is attracted to your twin flame’s soul with more ease. It’s simply the easiest way to connect, and they’re naturally drawn to do so.
Dreaming about your twin flame and dreaming with them is a way of the universe to bring your senses together and strengthen the relationship that you will soon come to enjoy.
It’s also a mechanism of twin flame healing.
Take this as a sign that you are about to meet someone significant in your life.
2) You feel drawn to them
A twin flame bond feels almost magnetic. From that very moment, you looked into each other’s eyes when you walked into that coffee shop. The attraction is undeniable; you feel inexplicably drawn to that person.
The pull never seems to dwindle, as if their energy is always there, always pulling you to be closer to each other, even when you’re far apart, whether you’re staying in another room or you’re halfway around the world.
If you feel as if there’s an overwhelming pull towards someone, as if you can’t resist, whether you’ve only met them or someone who’s been in your life for a long time, then this could be a sign that your twin flame is connecting with you.
3) You feel a strong, unexplainable connection with someone you just met
Out of nowhere, you instantly like someone you just met on a very random, last-minute blind date. What were the odds, right?
It seems too good to be true, but you can’t stop thinking of them. The way they look. The sound of their voice. The smell of their hair. You even start to long for them.
Your attraction to this person is so powerful, you desire to be with them when you’re not with them, and you want to know everything there is to know about them.
This new person who’s just entered your life is probably your twin flame.
According to licensed psychotherapist Babita Spinelli, there will be an intense sense of attraction, recognition, and longing when you first encounter your twin flame.
“Meeting a twin flame often feels like home,” she says. “They feel familiar—an undeniably intense bond as though you have known them before.”
4) You feel body sensations when you meet your twin flame
There are several physical sensations you may feel the first time you meet your twin flame.
One of the most common feelings is heart palpitations or pain in the heart chakra. Seeing the physical manifestation of your mirror soul for the first time or standing near them makes your heart accelerate. This powerful connection affects the seven chakras of the body, especially the heart chakra.
Dizziness also occurs because the first meeting releases powerful energy that creates an extreme vibratory charge. Meeting your twin flame releases an intense explosion of energy that you might not be able to handle.
You may also feel pressure somewhere in your body. This is because the chakras of the body are affected by the powerful energy that comes with a twin flame bond. This bond exposes energy imbalance in your body.
Another sensation you will feel is stomach pain, usually experienced at the beginning of the relationship. You feel so in love that it physically hurts you to be away from your twin flame. What happens is that the solar plexus chakra is experiencing imbalance and manifests pain. This feeling goes away when the relationship becomes stable.
Notice your body temperature. The first time you are around your twin flame, you will feel your body turn warm, and when you walk away, you will feel it turn cold. This occurs due to the vibratory energy charge, so powerful that it affects body temperature.
And lastly, a less common physical sensation you might encounter is climaxing. You may start to feel an intense climax anywhere on your body due to the chakras influenced by the twin flame energy. This can be caused by the other person reaching a physical climax or by thinking about you. This sensation is relaxing and healing.
5) You know what they think and feel without them saying a word
Do you believe in mind reading? It may sound like nonsense, but if someone is communicating to you without even saying a word, and you just get it, then they might be your twin flame.
Some might call it telepathy, a psychic connection, or a gut feeling. You might even feel a little crazy and think it’s only a coincidence at first.
But if you can read the mind of someone as if it were your own, then you have a strong spiritual connection that doesn’t need words to communicate.
You can likely understand with just a look across the room, and you know what the other is thinking. You may even feel what the other is feeling, according to Spinelli.
Even if you’ve known them for a short time, you know what they’re thinking or feeling. Even if they’re in the other room or across the globe, you seem to know what’s on their mind.
6) You experience intense emotions
The first time you meet your twin flame, your emotions will feel heightened. You suddenly feel an explosion of intense emotions, both positive and negative. You experience a whole spectrum of feelings — happy, ecstatic, sad, depressed, mad, and so on.
And everything will feel overwhelming and more intense.
There’s an emotional charge between twin flames, says Spinelli, and they develop quickly because you two feel so familiar.
Spiritual author Shannon Kaiser also adds that you feel things deeper together because you two are so connected, which often makes for more intensity and passion.
7) You can sense when they feel pain
Your twin flame is communicating with you when you can feel their pain.
Have you ever felt like you shared in the sadness that your friends or loved ones experienced? Maybe a death in the family, or they’ve broken up with their significant other.
It’s quite different when it comes to a shared pain with a twin flame. The level of intensity and pain is on a whole other level.
When you meet for the first time, you feel connected instantly, creating empathy between you. And because you come from the same soul entity, there is strong harmony shared.
You can sense each other’s pain because the connection is so strong. You can perceive the physical sensations and emotions even if they don’t tell you about it and even if you’re thousands of miles apart.
Feeling your twin flame’s pain is not meant to make you both feel unhappy. This shared experience helps to understand how deep and unbreakable your bond is.
The pain is also meant to bring you two together when you are apart.
When you can feel the other person’s pain, you can help initiate a healing process and work through the pain together.
That’s why a twin flame relationship is so intense; you experience the same pain they feel, as well as your own.
Help them accept and embrace the pain in order to heal. Recognizing pain will help you both in eliminating it and bring deep inner peace.
8) Your insecurities and doubts are amplified
Just as your emotions are heightened, so are your deepest insecurities, fears, and doubts.
A twin flame is meant to serve a higher purpose above self. And one of the characteristics of a twin flame connection is to draw out your deepest insecurities and imbalances.
“The purpose of your twin flame is to support and help you with your divine mission and purpose,” says Kaiser.
“So, often this type of relationship will reflect your problems and deepest insecurities so you can work through them to heal and grow.”
Do note that the other person isn’t there to bring out any insecurities that aren’t already there. They can have a toxic mindset, but they are not toxic to be around. Rather, they are loving, inspiring, and encouraging.
Your twin flame is there to support your spiritual growth and connect you with your higher self. They are a mirror of what you fear and desire the most for your own inner healing.
They are there to show you what’s holding you back so that you can work through these and come out a better person.
Your twin flame is there to challenge you but also teach you about fears and wounds you’ve buried deep inside. They push you to new heights.
9) You’re inspired to be better
Maybe you’ve always been afraid to perform improv in front of an audience. The thought of a room full of people watching you, pointing at you as you stumble on your jokes, makes your stomach turn. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try rock climbing, but just thinking of how high you will be off the ground and plummeting to your death terrifies you.
A twin flame is communicating with you if they’re there to bring out potential you have yet to allow yourself to discover within you. They light a passion inside you that you’re too afraid to let out.
They push you to do and be better, and they open up a world of possibilities you never thought was there. This spiritual journey demands growth, according to expert Todd Savvas. Because without growth, there’s no way you can get past the things that hold you back.
A twin flame bond elevates you to become a better version of yourself. And when you feel better, you live better.
10) You keep coming back to each other
There’s always a lot of screaming and bickering and arguing when you two are together. A lot of storming off and slammed doors. A lot of intensity and emotions and fighting. A lot of breaking up, then making up. Again and again.
Kaiser says that if you’re in an on-again, off-again relationship, it could be with your twin flame.
The intensity of a twin flame relationship is definitely a lot to handle. Coming face to face with your fears and insecurities is tough, and paired with powerful emotions, it can be very overwhelming.
And at some point, you’re going to walk away from it because you’re not ready to evolve spiritually. You resist and try to escape.
But most often than not, you’ll find yourself coming back. You just can’t help yourself.
Things just keep bringing you back together, even after months or years of separation. You’ll always find your way back to each other because you’re destined to be together.
And as intense a twin flame relationship can be, there can only be one twin flame. The name “twin” implies there is only one. Your meeting and coming together is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you can’t choose to trade away.
Do you need more information about twin flame relationships?
Here are a few other things to keep in mind when it comes to a twin flame:
- Twin flame relationships aren’t necessarily meant to be lovers. Each relationship is unique and different. Some twin flames are lovers, while some are best friends. The intensity and attraction don’t have to be sexual. It’s normal to have a platonic twin flame relationship.
- A twin flame is different from a soul mate. There can only be one twin flame while you can have several soul mates. Also, a twin flame relationship is intense and challenging. They’re meant to help you grow spiritually. On the other hand, a relationship with a soul mate is more mild and peaceful. They’re meant to help support you.
- It’s possible to mistake someone as your twin flame or a false twin flame. They may have misled you into thinking they were, which isn’t your fault. Try to pay attention to whether they truly share the same values as you, if you feel that you can be your true self with them, and if there is a shared desire for spiritual transformation.
- You can fall out of love with a twin flame; however, that does not mean your soul-level connection will vanish. It is possible to fall in love, out of love, and back in love with a twin flame. Remember, the purpose of a twin flame is to help you spiritually evolve. When this has been completed, you might feel the connection slowly dwindle. It’s always possible though for them to make a comeback later on in your life.
- Finding your twin flame is a unique experience that is possible for anyone. However, finding and connecting with your twin flame will require inner spiritual work and genuine development of self-love.
