Twin flames, also called “mirror souls,” are terms used to describe a relationship ideology rooted in new-age spiritualism. The concept has seen increased popularity in recent times. It promotes the idea of an intense soul connection between two people thought to be each other's half.
Twin flames are meant to reunite with one another, but that doesn't always mean that they do. Sometimes twin flames don't recognize each other immediately. If one or both halves have not achieved the necessary level of growth individually, the meeting could be stalled indefinitely.
While it could be said that twin flames are destined to be together, this doesn't mean that such relationships always work. Twin flame partners may break up, especially if they are unable to resolve conflicts or handle the intensity that comes with having someone reveal the pieces of your soul that need healing.
Should you marry your twin flame? "Yes, but that's only after intense personal healing," explains Brown. "The twin flame relationship is meant to bring up issues that you need to experience and learn from in this lifetime." Despite the fact that you technically can marry your twin flame, Brown advises caution.
Connection: Many cultures believe a twin flame is one soul split. Twin flames reveal parts of one another and might share similar behavioral tendencies. On the other hand, the idea of soulmates is two souls with a special emotional connection. Soulmates are compatible but might have different personalities.

Cons of twin flame relationships:
Although twin flames are placed in your life to help you grow, that growth isn't always comfortable. Your twin flame will force you to face problems you've been avoiding. They will make you admit to your faults and work toward changing them.
An intense sense of familiarity, recognition, and longing: When a person encounters their twin flame, there will be an extreme sense of recognition and familiarity. People may feel an intense bond as though they have known each other for a long time.
Soulmates have a greater connection, more purpose
Twin flames come together energetically on a divine level. Their connection is more of a higher power to enrich the other's life, where the soulmate connection is more concentrated on learning and growth purposes for each individual.
In romantic connections, twin flames can stand the test of time and can be incredible partners. Because the two of you will have a powerful connection, you may find that creating trust and intimacy is far easier in these relationships than in other relationships you may have come across.
Many twin flames will end up making their way back to each other, even if it takes years—but not all. It depends on the level of work the twin flames do individually while they are separate. Some twin flame relationships can be toxic, however, and they may never reunite—or shouldn't.
Contrary to popular belief, the concept of twin flames is not the same as soul mates. Your twin flame doesn't even have to be someone you fall in love with (although it often is). "This kind of high-level, soul-based connection isn't about romance. It's about spiritual growth," says Vallejos.
Twin flame numbers are repeating sequences used to reunite two halves of the same soul. Whether you're single or in a relationship, these patterns give insight into where you are on your twin flame journey–the proximity to your other half and the depth of your connection.
So, does everybody has a twin flame? Well, the answer is NO. Twin-Flame is extremely rare.
Your twin flame is likely to enter your world around the age of 25, just as you're entering a new phase of maturity and settling into your true self. This relationship will be a powerful source of inspiration and motivation, urging you both to face life's challenges head-on and conquer them together.
Most twin flames are narcissistic, but not every narcissist is your twin flame. The connection might still be super profound though when you meet a regular narcissist. This is because a narcissist keeps you in a toxic bond that activates your codependency.
It's natural for twin flames to be afraid of each other. Because the intensity of emotion in the twin flame connection affects both sides simultaneously. Change is at the door. Both masculine and feminine energies feel it.
Sometimes they will seem to be an unlikely pair—perhaps with a large difference in age or background—but their shared passion for a larger vision is what magnetizes them and keeps them together. Not everyone has a twin flame—most people will live a happy and full life with their soul mates.
How Will You Know If You've Found Your Twin Flame? Finding your twin flame doesn't mean finding someone exactly like you. In fact, twin flames are often polar opposites and work in conjunction to balance each other out.
Sensing their feelings
If your Twin Flame connection is a romantic one and your Twin sleeps with someone else it will most likely feel crushing, and something that can make this more challenging is the strong telepathic and emotional connection between the Twins flames.
The whole goal of a twin flame relationship is to catalyze one another into embodying our Higher Self. So addiction, abuse, or power games are common themes in a karmic relationship.
