The Phases of the Twin Flame Journey

The Meeting
When you meet your twin flame you are likely to feel a sense of immediate recognition. There will be something about them that hits you like a train! For me, it was seeing my twin’s eyes and then experiencing this immediate feeling of being ‘home’.
You will feel a profound shift, a joy you may have never felt before will follow. You will likely think about them all the time and glow when you do.
The Bubble
After the initial meeting you and your twin are transformed into your highest selves, the baggage and hurts of the past are not there. You can spend hours together and be lost in the complete bliss of any time you spend together. Your spiritual gifts will activate or go up to a new level. You will be consumed by each other and want to spend as much time together as possible. You will be the person you can be again once you have dealt with your stuff. During this time you will likely achieve things you have never before achieved, be your true self, be strong, confident and will radiate nothing but love for your twin.
The Bubble Bursts
As with all twins, the bubble phase occurs to give us something to reach for when we go through our journey of healing and the lessons we need to learn. The bubble phase is designed to give you a reason to keep going and give you memories that will serve you of what you could return to. However, at some point, someone will get triggered and then the bubble doesn’t just burst it will explode.
You will go from being in divine union to constant arguing, anything and everything will trigger you and you will start turning on each other. It can get toxic and it can get toxic fast.
When the bubble bursts one of the twins will usually run, they will push the other away, block them, disappear from their lives, and reconnect with other old partners or even new ones (karmic partners) and this is when the Separation begins.

The Separation
While most people are desperate for the separation to be over it is also vital for twins that this happens.
You both have a journey to take, experiences you need to have, lessons that need to be learned and healing that needs to be done.
Being in contact when you’re triggered will result in blame, control, arguments, guilt, self-hatred, self-sabotage then more arguments and you will stay in a vicious cycle for a long time.
The separation period allows you to go within and deal with why you feel unworthy, release the pain from past betrayals, and nurture your inner child. It is often the divine feminine in the partnership that starts the healing work (the divine feminine does not have to be female in the body it’s just the energy). The divine masculine will either completely avoid any healing or even their feelings (the shame for DMs around having emotions is a huge block for many twin flames) or focus on 3D achievements to bring them a sense of worthiness.
The need for the DM to come back is a huge stumbling block for the feminines and they often try and avoid their own pain by chasing instead of healing while the masculines will avoid their pain by running away from their feminines.

The Healing
As the twins begin to heal fewer and fewer triggers will become apparent. You will feel better in yourself and your dreams will start to manifest.
The feminines will start to chase less, relieving the pressure on the masculines and allowing them space to breathe, not feel smothered and more able to return if there is less intensity.
During this time the universe will give you challenges and lessons. If, after many lifetimes you have failed to learn these lessons things will get really intense. The universe can remove things that no longer serve your highest good and can even block further relationships and only bring in partners that trigger the same issues your twin does until you deal with them.

(Re)Union
This is not an immediate process, but more a gradual coming together. It will start with things like people being unblocked, messages that were once ignored answered, and their energy getting closer and more curious.
When you start to come back into contact it is likely triggers will re-emerge, the more work you have done while apart the fewer issues will come up, but no one is perfect (Literally! It’s an illusion) and so triggers will emerge.
If you are both open to it you can do the healing work together, if not then it’s best to take breaks to stop things from becoming too intense and things happening which create another lengthy separation or hurt which becomes unrecoverable or unforgivable.
Eventually, the more you heal the closer you will become and the easier things will get.
Union
This is the final phase when you are both in a really healed place and you can be together in the type of harmony you were at the beginning. You will have minimal to no triggers, the bliss you had at the beginning will be back and your lives will be filled with rewards and riches that many can only dream of.
Twins don’t have to be together as romantic partners, some choose to go their own way and use their twin purely as a mirror for healing their own stuff, some choose to help their twin heal, some get married and some decide on being friends.
Whatever happens, you have the opportunity to grow and evolve beyond any pain from your past and have the life you’ve always dreamed of.
