How does it feel to meet your Twin Flame?
Like all the romantic movies out there, and especially with how we are used to the idea of romantic love from fairy tales, it is all about the “love at first sight” and how the first moment you lay your eyes on this person your whole being is just transported into another dimension where you just know and have that visceral feeling of “Aha! They are the one!”.
This is how Twin Flame meetings are portrayed online as well. If you read any articles or stories about Twin Flames and how it feels to meet them, you will most likely read about “instant attraction”, “intense feelings”, “inner knowing” and similar things like this. But how does it actually feel when you meet your Twin Flame? Can you meet your Twin Flame without having this experience? Can you meet your Twin Flame and not even like them?
Meeting vs Recognition
What if we told you that you can meet your Twin Flame without recognizing them? That would simply mean that you can be in the presence of your Twin Flame, maybe even get acquainted and have a relationship of some kind with the without even realizing your true feelings for them. This is an experience a lot of people also have on their Twin Flame journey. The moment when you “see” them for who they truly are might come at a later point in your relationship. That moment might even come in phases and develop over time, meaning you “see” a part of who hey truly are but not their full true self just yet. Because of this, the attraction and feelings can also gradually develop over time until you reach a tipping point where you recognize who they might be for you. For some people, that recognition is instant and it creates the powerful experience it is often described with Twin Flame meetings. However, if it’s not the case for you, don’t worry. Your experience is still valid and pertinent for you. The beauty about love, the Twin Flame journey and anything in life is that we all have different perspectives and experiences we move through. We all want love, however how that looks like and is experienced by each one of us is individual, personal and unique. Therefore, if your Twin Flame meeting story doesn’t really fit with some “Twin Flame meeting” template you find online, don’t fret. There is actually no template to how you should feel when you meet your Twin Flame.
Recognition vs Grounded Awareness
Since we clarified the difference between the meeting and the moment you recognize your Twin Flame, there is still in an important part of your journey that we must clarify. When you recognize your Twin Flame, no matter if it was instant or over time, you have a feeling they are special for you. However, you might not know what does that mean. If you have signs and synchronicity happening as well, it would become even more telling that something is up between you and this person. Some might try to push away this awareness, while for some this is the place where they start to research about what these feelings might be. This is the point where the term Twin Flame might become known to you and you start learning about the wonderful journey of Twin Flames. But, as time passes by and things happen between you and your Twin Flame, there might be doubt, worries, fears or uncertainties that start to creep in. “What if that moment was just a lie? What if all these things that are happening between us are not real? What if I am the only one experiencing this?” and many other thoughts like this. Maybe you start believing these thoughts and let go of your Twin Flame for a time. This is the key difference between having recognized your Twin Flame and having a grounded awareness about them. Recognition gives you the inspiration, the dream, the vision. However, you must go through a period of time where you build faith and ultimately a grounded awareness that what is happening and what you experienced is real. That the dream you have is real and you deserve to have it. Having the grounded awareness doesn’t mean that you get attached to how things will turn out in the physical, but that you strongly believe that you have a Twin Flame and your are doing everything you know and can to manifest your relationship with them.
What if you might not like your Twin Flame?
Coming back to recognition, what if you recognize this person but you are instantly put off by them in one way or another? Can this even be possible? The answer is yes. You might experience some attraction and awareness about the person but you might deny it because there are aspects of the relationship you might not be ready or willing to face at this time. This could come from traits that are displayed by your Twin Flame or feelings/insecurities you might have with yourself. If this might be the case, you don’t have to force the connection to happen or for it to be something that it is not. If you are ready to take the healing path presented with the Mirror Exercise, then you will surely move through the initial resistance so you can relax into the true nature of your connection at a pace that is compassionate for you.
So… how does it actually feel when you meet your Twin Flame? While the answer might not be straightforward in a way that you might expect, when you truly recognize your Twin Flame and see them for who they truly are for you, you are sure to experience a deep sense of peace and belonging.
