The feeling that you will never be apart again, the intensity that transpires when you are together, and the thrill of knowing that all is right with the world!

Is this true?

The Twin Flame Relationship has been dubbed the most profound. This is the Age of Aquarius, after all, and we are destined to reunite with our other half, the one we have been searching for all of our lives.

But does this truly take place for everyone? What are the chances that he or she has already passed you by, and you were in a semi-conscious state about life and love? What does it actually mean?

I’ve been dabbling in this topic for years now, traveling from one place to another, based on my gut instincts of where it is I needed to go next. I read about it. I hear about it. I research it. I listen. I observe. I do my best to find the quiet moments in each day and trust what I hear inside. Is it accurate? Gosh, I sure hope so.

We’ve been so inundated with technology and complexities that it seems meeting your twin flame is totally irrational and impossible. That deep longing in your heart and soul where everyone chooses either love or fear. Decisions to walk away and not partake in any growth or lessons whereby that person is teaching you, whether you know it or not. Not giving up. Exhibiting patience. Loving each other through the ups and the downs. Accepting all of them, scars and everything. What is it about this 2013 year that is becoming the most transformative year in the my history of living on this planet? I’m no spring chicken, mind you, and I’ve been through countless heartaches and affairs of the heart, yet I’m poised to believe that when you have randomly met someone, you just know it’s right.

The twin soul will bring out the best in you. They also bring out the worst in you.

They show you who you are and who you could become. They tap into the dark side. They shine brightness on the light side. Every damn emotion comes forth when encountering their presence. It’s not an easy ride, let me tell you. And, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When you want to exit stage left, your conscience and gut are on overdrive for many reasons. “Is this really what I need in my life?” is a common question. “Where’s that person who just rolls with the punches and life flows more easily than not?” is another subtle way of dealing with the acceptance and growth. “Why am I experiencing all these emotions, and yet I still love them at the end of the day?” the more rational side will say. The subconscious has a way of always being right on. Trust it.

Either way, don’t walk away. It’s always too easy, and probably why there is much unhappiness in the world today. This other half of you is there to show you more about big love than ever. They are who you have been waiting for, and will mirror parts of you that aren’t always so pretty to observe. They will love you through all the rough patches.

On the other hand, soulmates come and go. It’s a kitschy term for many, and we do have many soulmates throughout our lives. I thought both my husbands were soulmates forever. Wrong! They were in my life for a reason, and I’m more than grateful for what I learned throughout those marriages. We walked away from each other because our contracts were up—literally and spiritually.

A soulmate could even be your dog. I had many dog soulmates too. I loved them more than ever, and now they are no longer in my life. I have the fondest memories of every facet of their being, but time moves on, and soul mates do too. We were bonded together at just the right time, and to possibly set me up for a twin soul relationship. Have I found it? Really?

Blissfully speaking, we are all almost there. 2013 is a powerful year for this to occur, and hearing many stories of reconnects, transformations and profound occurrences, I have to believe that love conquers all. Yes, I think I am there….
