On The Search For A Soul Mate? Here Are The Steps To Help You Along The Way

You've heard of "soul mate," but have you heard about "twin flame"? Basically, it's soul mates on steroid, but deeper in every account. This relationship can manifest in the form of an intense partnership, not necessarily love. If you're ready for this kind of extreme relationship, here's a few steps to help with the preparation.

1. Preperation

According to the DatingScout.com founder, Chris Pleines, it all starts with a hunch. That moment when you feel like you would meet someone. And you know in your heart that someone will change your whole life. That's the first stage of the search for a twin flame.

2. The Awakening

Pleines went on to say that you might have already seen your twin, and now you would start developing feelings for him. Pleines calls this phase The Awakening. But be careful, the expert warns, as twin flame relationships face a lot of hardship.

3. The Conflict

Stage 3 is called The Conflict. When the rose-coloured spectacles are gone, you start to see the annoying traits. Since your twin flame is a replication of your souls, these are the same traits you have. However, you sometimes fail to realize this fact, and this creates conflicts in the relationship.

4. The Crisis

Fights are an inevitable part of a relationship. This stage is a test set out to see how the two of you handle difficulties. This stage will make or break your twin flame relationship. As Pleines explains, if you both can overcome whatever is thrown at you in The Crisis, your relationship will last.

5. The Separation

Separation would happen between twin flame sooner or later. As twin flames are seen together today and gone the next more often than not, separation will occur no matter how well you two tackled The Crisis. Fear not, it's part of the process.

6. The Surrender

This "breakup" period is necessary for you and your partner to mature. In this stage, Pleines says although you two are not together, doesn't mean the connection you have should be severed. You will see each other again, he adds, and this time, both of you would have grown a lot.

7. The Reunion

You and your twin flame has been through hell together. And now, it's the well-deserved reunion. This stage is all about acceptance, peace, and reciprocal understanding. This time, don't let them go.
