What is a twin flame?

I keep hearing about discovering your twin flame and meditating to see who it is.

Surely if you meditate you will see someone you know? If you haven't met them yet you couldn't see them.

What is the difference between a twin flame and a soul mate?

It’s a load of bollocks.

I have googled it but there are many interpretations.

Is this a spoof?

Of course there are lots of “interpretations”; It’s not science, it’s woo.

It seems to be a way for people to think that their relationship/connection is much more important than other peoples because they're 'twin flames'.

And a way to feel better that they've dumped you or just aren't that interested because there's the idea that twin flame connections are sooo intense and spiritual that one is a 'runner' and one is a 'chaser'.

Personally I think you could potentially have successful relationships with any number of people in the world. I also think this twin flame idea is a money making exercise for people selling those twin flame audio book things.

Funny, I know about Soul mates, Twin flames and Kindred Spirits and I've never heard of Twin Flame audiobooks.

It's just an aspect of something that may or may not mean something to you.

Not all relationships are romantic ones, you can apply the above 3 to friendships too.

I have been told by more than one woo practitioner that my husband is my twin flame and that we have been together before, not just this time around.
I don't know much about it or if I even believe in them. Funny that more than one has said it though.

I think it feeds into the wrong type of "relationship goals":
I.e. yeah we're a bit destructive but thats just because we're so INTENSE and SPECIAL.
Nope, thats not "passion" its just aggression/control/posessiveness... not some cosmic connection thats too intense for the rest of us to get..
