Soul Mate Vs. Twin Flame?

Q: What’s the difference between a soul mate and a twin flame?

A: In my teachings, this subject comes up a lot. What's the difference between a soul mate and a twin flame? A lot of people who aren't on the up and up on soul mates think that there is only one out there for them...I'm presuming they are talking about their twin flame, but they use the term, "soul mate."

I try to explain to them that there is no "one" out there for them, but many, many soul mates who come into their lives at one point or another and every one of them serves a person for doing so.

In your life's journey, you have tests and when you complete each "test," that broadens your mind and your intelligence as to what is good for you and what isn't.

I told a client the other day that her abusing husband was one of her soul mates and I thought she was going to punch me in my face. I quickly explained that he served a purpose in coming into her life and that was to learn how to think more highly of herself and not allow this kind of treatment. Until she could get out of this mindset that she was a victim, she would continue this path. And this was one of her tests in life.

Back to twin flames, one of the definitions is that a twin flame is one "kind" of soul mate that is very hard to attain until you have come to that point in your life where you have found yourself. Until you do, your twin flame and you will never be able to have a relationship. I also tell my clients that if everyone could meet and be with their twin flame and it was just that easy, everyone would be with theirs and would miss out on the important tests of life we must have. So, there again, all soul mates are just as important as your twin flame in making you whole.

Hope that helps! ;o)

Special Announcement

I'm so psyched this morning...my column, "Are You My Soul Mate," is featured guest article at ALoveLinksPlus.com this week! Check it out at http://www.alovelinksplus.com/guest_articles/index.htm!!!

The Endless Wait...

Q: How long does it take to find out if your mate is your true "soulmate"?

A: One problem with society, IMO, is that they don’t realize that there are more than one soul mates for them and that all come into their lives for different reasons and no one soul mate is more important than the other. What is wrong with this mindset is that they are missing out on a full productive and happy life not accepting these soul mates for the value that they bring into their lives.

Society – in general – feels that they only have one “true” soul mate and they spend the rest of their lives looking that for that single person, when in fact there is no single soul mate out there for them…there are many of them…and like I said before, they are all important towards your own personal life journey.

Twin souls can be a form of having one true soul mate and studies are out whether you can have more than one, but in my opinion, I believe that we all have just one single twin soul that may or may not come into our lives in this realm. A lot of factors have to be taken in consideration such as being at the right place, at the right time, and other extenuating circumstances before you can unite with your twin soul.

Back to your question, how long does it take to find your soul mate? Your soul mate(s) have already come into your life and more are yet to come. Stop and think for a minute of a special person that has made a difference in your life already. That is one of your soul mates.

Soul Mates Later in Life?

Q: Do most people discover their soulmates later in life?
--Kathy Holmes

A: That’s an interesting question, Kathy, and easy to explain why it seems as if this is so.

The minute you are born, your soul mates come into your life (your mother is probably your first) and they will continue coming into your life until the day you die (and of course, you will meet again the soul mates that were in your life that have passed when you leave this realm).

However, it’s not until you have fully matured and have “found” yourself do you end up with soul mates that are meant to be in your life as companion soul mates.

Prior to this, you have many, many soul mates coming into your life and serve many purposes for being there, but it is not until you are at that right place within yourself, do you find the soul mates that are meant to come into your life as companion soul mates.

So, this is why you have found your soul mate later in life…you have been through all the experiences that you went through when you were young and now, later in life, you know what you want and that’s when your soul mates DO come into your life. To coin a phrase, you are in “the right place, at the right time.”

Departed Soul Mate

Q: Does everyone have a soul mate? I lost mine in ’82. Will I ever stop thinking about him and form new relationships?

A: Yes, everyone has a soul mate; in fact, you have many soul mates and they enter into your life for different reasons in order to fulfill your life’s destiny.

The soul mate you speak of touched you on a special level and that is why it is hard to stop thinking about him enough to form new relationships. This could very well be your twin soul since it has been very hard for you to go on since his passing. As with any death of a loved one, it will take time before you come to the point where you are ready to have someone else special come into your life. You may feel guilt if you do, and that is natural. If you do feel guilt, perhaps it is time to search inside yourself to determine if you are ready to take on another commitment.

What I would suggest right now is to allow your karmic soul mates to enter your life and have fun for a change. You can’t change the way things are and it’s necessary for your good health to follow other destinies that are mapped out for you. In time, you will heal and that will open the door for your other soul mates to pass through and find you.
