What are the twin flame stages?

Stage 1: Longing 

Before you meet your twin flame, you will be aware that they exist. You will feel a deep longing for them and do inner work to prepare yourself for meeting them.

Stage 2: The meeting

When you experience a twin flame reunion, it will be an extreme reaction. You will want to spend a lot of time with them, experience intense emotions, and will be unable to keep your hands off each other.

Stage 3: Honeymoon

The honeymoon phase is when your relationship is new and positive. It might have challenges later, but for now, everything is good. This phase might last for a long time or a short time, depending on the couple.

Stage 4: The challenges start

Core wounds emerge, and differences arise in the relationship. Often, these challenges reflect the soul work the two of you need to do on your own. It's usually not about improving the relationship but rather improving yourself.

Stage 5: A test

The test is when your love will be challenged. You will start to learn more about your opposing sides. You might begin to doubt yourself and your partner. 

In this phase, one person might try to stay away from the other or end the relationship. The other person might feel insecure without them. This is when people start to have problems with attachment.

Stage 6: Chase

The 'chase' is when one twin flame walks away from the relationship. This is normal and happens in many twin-flame relationships. People who walk away usually do so because they need time to think or need some space. 

The 'chase' can be good because it gives each person time to reflect on what they want. But, one person can pull away for good, and this causes separation.

Stage 7: Surrender 

In the surrender stage, you work through all your problems and may come back together again. This is called the "surrender." You accept each other with all your flaws.

Stage 8: Home

The final stage is when you come together, feel like everything is back to normal, and understand each other more. In this stage, you help each other grow. [3]

What's the difference between soul mates and twin flames?

A soul mate is someone suitable for you on a spiritual level. It's a relationship that feels easy and makes sense. A soul mate might be a romantic partner, a close friend, or a family member. Soulmate relationships help us to grow and change in positive ways.

A twin flame is a type of soulmate who has a deep spiritual connection with us. This relationship is very passionate and can cause personal transformation. Twin flames are two halves of the same soul that have been separated from learning and growing before coming back together. [4]
