Twin Flame Separation

If you are reading this, then hopefully you read my first story about the origin of twin flames. You may be experiencing a separation yourself, or just trying to prepare yourself for the possibility. Either way, I hope the following information provides some guidance and understanding to what you are going through.

As I mentioned previously, my twin and I separated over a year ago. We did not know we were twins at the time of the break up and never expected to speak to one another again. With most breakups, you hurt, you heal and you move on. While breaking away from your twin flame follows this same pattern, there are some distinct differences. When you separate from your twin, your other half, your yang to yin (or vice versa), you experience a heartbreak unlike any other. The reason for this is because you have not yet grasped the underlying philosophy of the twin flame journey. This philosophy is simple but profound. There is No Such Thing as Separation! Twins are energetically bound together. There is an invisible cord that keeps you connected through lifetimes, large distances, and even heartbreak. When you fully understand that you can never truly be separated from your twin, you find comfort in the thought that you are never alone. This is when the healing really starts to happen.

When my twin and I broke up, I was devastated. My heart shattered into a million pieces and I didn't think I would ever love again. But of course, when you think you'll never find love, the Universe will slap you in the face with it. I quickly fell for a new guy that I thought was definitely "the one." He was chivalrous, sweet, generous, romantic, excellent communicator, and a jack of all trades. For the first few months, everything was perfect. But then something happened. This new, wonderful man of mine made me choose between him and my ex (we were still talking at the time). I understood his position and chose him while cutting all ties with my ex. This is when my whole world fell apart. I had a mental breakdown and developed severe anxiety and PTSD. It took a few months of therapy and medication for me to realize the catalyst behind it. It happened during one of my therapy sessions when my therapist asked "do you think your ex is your other half?" This question took me completely by surprise and I didn't know what to say. After meditating on it for a week, I realized the magnitude of this question and at my next session I gave her my answer. Yes. He is definitely my other half. It's important to understand that breakdowns like mine are quite common for twins because we can't bare the thought of our souls being separated. Every person will handle separation differently, so if you're going through a difficult time, just know it will pass.

Often times, twins will have similarities and there will be hidden clues that reveal whether or not this person is actually your twin. Of course, there is no better confirmation then the love in your own heart, but if you have a hard time trusting your intuition, look for other signs from the Universe. Numbers have always been significant to me and this is where I found my clues. Numerology is the study of numbers with occult significance. My life path number is 9 while my twin's is 6. These two numbers mirror each other and were my first clue. My second clue? we are Exactly 11 years apart. 11 is a common number among twins and most twins on their journey will see (and feel) the power behind 11:11. There are several other clues that confirmed my ex as my twin, but these are just some examples for you to find confirmation in your own journey.

When you feel like you can't handle the heartbreak anymore, the healing begins. Twins separate because they each have karmic issues to heal from and often times we need our twin to trigger us in order to see what karmic energies need healing. The deepest and most powerful healing work comes in union, but if you have not done your own shadow work, this union will never be possible. I will go into shadow work in my next story. For now, sit with the knowledge that every person has a twin, not everyone will find their twin in this lifetime, but the only way to come into harmonious union is to do your own shadow work and focus on self-love. The journey of self-love is one you will never regret and it will bring you a life full of blessings. You will know when you are about to come into union when you accept yourself for who you are and can accept your twin as they are by holding space for them. This takes practice, but it is attainable for every human being willing to do the work.

Stay tuned for my next story where we will dive deeper into shadow work and how to heal from ancestral and karmic energies.
