Soulmates and Twin Flames - Angie Welch

You may know that in addition to evidential mediumship readings, I also have a lot of clients who are just looking for psychic intuitive information or spiritual guidance in nature. They desire to have some insight into their current situations, the future, and also understand the past. While I can easily tap in psychically or consult the cards, Akashic Records readings are a favorite of mine.  A common subject is romance and really just relationships in general. 

And of course, anytime we chat about relationships, the subject of Soulmates and Twin Flames have a tendency to come up. 

People usually want to know if a certain person currently in their life IS their soulmate, or when that soulmate is coming to them.  At times I will hear people use the term “twin flame” interchangeably with “soulmate”. While there are similarities, I do not feel they are the same. 

While we often DO find both twin flames and soulmates as our partners, they may also be our best friends, our children, even our parents.  While these soul contracted relationships do share some similar qualities, they serve different purposes in your life. Inevitably many folks disagree on what a twin flame or a soulmate actually is, and my take might be different from what you’ve heard before.  So let me take just a few moments and give you the run down on what I’ve discovered (through talking with Spirit) about these two connections.  I’ll keep it brief, but I hope this 2 minute “Ted Talk” helps. 

We tend to travel with the same soul groups from lifetime to lifetime, making contracts with individuals in our soul family to learn certain lessons and have specific experiences.  A soulmate is someone from our soul group that you will often incarnate with over and over again. Having various experiences and learning new things from different perspectives as we go along. These people may provide us with powerful times of love, support and acceptance or they may also occasionally cause us pain.   Soulmates are always present to help us learn, grow and transform and not all lessons are easy.  I always feel like soulmates are the ones who you instantly feel a good strong connection with. Again, while there may be some turmoil, more often than not the “key” is the supportive connection you have with them.

Another thing that might surprise you with soulmates is that we can have more than one. Yes, you read that correctly. Every soul is unique and individual.  You may have made arrangements to have your greatest lessons around love from one soulmate, and lessons of forgiveness through another.  For those lessons that are hard and painful the good news is that typically, once a contract is completed, that soulmate may even exit our lives.  

Twin flames are a horse of a different color and the relationship you have with them might be a little more intense than that of a soulmate.  Okay… I’ll be honest.  They are a LOT more intense. Twin flames are the once in a lifetime folks that have a profound impact on your spiritual evolution. My understanding from Spirit is that you won’t have more than one Twin Flame in a lifetime. If you experience a twin flame as a partner, know while they can be the most passion filled relationships, they aren’t always the best (or happiest).

Sometimes they are wonderful, but I tend to see a lot of pain, chaos and loss in these relationships.  Also, not every lifetime will include a twin flame relationship, but you will always have soulmates along for the earth ride. The key thing with twin flames is their entire mission is to be a catalyst for MAJOR personal change. The energy may be chaotic and fierce, but as I said, it can also be filled with beautiful moments. They are often considered “mirrors” to us (thus the twin part) that spark us to do shadow work. Shadow work is hard, but it is often required to transform and elevate spiritually. 

I’ll end on this final note… I hope you can take a look around and can recognize the soulmates who have shown up on this big blue marble with you. I pray you acknowledge them and you support each other.  Have fun, laugh, love and grow.  And, if you ever experience a twin flame, just know, the mission they took on before coming here was to help you level up spiritually… I mean REALLY level up!  Similarly, don’t forget… you took on that same mission with them.  Real success is when at least one of you succeeds. So if you had a mind blowing intense relationship with someone, (good or bad) and it has sparked immense growth and change in you, then take a moment to put it in perspective. Find gratitude and take a moment to at least silently thank them.  Without that experience you wouldn’t be where or who you are today.   Namaste, Angie
