I came across this Eckhart Tolle quote that was really wonderful and I had to not only share it, but write about it. These words are an excellent reminder for all of us. Sometimes you're going to meet people who trigger the f*ck out of you.. for whatever reason. Their being might anger you, irritate you, annoy you or even make you feel bouts of jealousy and insecurity. Our job is not to castigate the person .. but to explore the WHY. What part of us is being so deeply affected by someone's action or inaction that is eliciting this type of response from us? Which part of us is not being heard of seen? Which wounding deep within us is being poked and prodded at in these situations? Understanding the dynamics of these relationships will help us navigate through this much more easily.
So, let's take a look at the types soul connections and how they may look like for us.
We will often meet many soulmates along our journey that are there to teach us lessons. They can show up as friends, romantic interests or partners, co-workers and even family. Not all soulmates necessarily mean a long and loving relationship, although some might be. Some are there to show us how love feels while other soul connections are there to show us how to love ourselves. Other relationships that people might experience are karmic relationships or more rarely, a twin flame relationship.
A karmic relationship is just another soul connection named as such as it is usually a type of personality or dynamic that you encounter more than once until you have healed and released the patterns and wounding that have lead you to choose people like that. They ALSO are there to teach us and help us heal and grow although these can be very painful relationships that might linger even after we have left them. When we can explore the "WHY" and do the inner healing work, then we can start to release these karmic ties and patterns that keep us locked into these loops.
Lastly, we have the ever elusive Twin Flame relationship.
I'm going to share a bit on this one because there seems to be SO much conflicting information on this and I thought it would be helpful to shed some light on it for you.
Some say there could be more than one of these you meet in a lifetime but it's usually only one and most people do not meet them in their lifetime. However, with all of the energy shifts occurring on the planet right now, the chances of you having met or bumped into a twin flame, might be higher. Also, it's important that you don't subscribe to the ideas that are scattered on the internet of what a twin flame dynamic is. These ideas of what it is often keep people trapped in very toxic and abusive relationships which are more often than not, karmic relationships.. or as some people refer to as the "false twin flame". The goal of your twin flame isn't actually to be some romantical explosion of love when you first meet and that you get together and it's the best thing ever!! Couldn't be much further from the truth. Most times, you don't even get together with your twin flame unless you both have done the work to release old karmic patterns. What is different about this relationship? Well, the first thing is the immediate recognition you feel the first moment you meet them. It's different from a soulmate encounter. Also, there will be many similar things mirrored in your lives. Could be family situations, past relationship dynamics or other things. But because they are your mirror, they will be opposite of you in many things. And although you both carry the same vibrational imprint, you will continue to trigger one another at different times and often, moving back and forth like a ping pong match. To be clear, it isn't that it isn't "romantical" or this "explosion of love", because the love that exists between twin flames is a very deep, ancient and unconditional love. However, with our wounding and own toxic patterns in the way, our inability to love ourselves or see ourselves in its purest and highest form prohibits us from accepting that outside of ourselves. It generally tends to terrify people and they repel it and yet feel so strangely drawn to it at the same time. It's not to say that twin flames cannot unite in a lifetime; Twin flames have been united since the dawn of time and often encounter one another in multiple lifetimes. They are partners on the spiritual plane and know they are here to help one another and are already united in higher 5D energies, which is why they say there is twin flame telepathy where you can pick up their emotions, thoughts and get signs from them often... so, their souls aren't concerned so much if they unite because they know there are more important things to tend to and are always working with one another in the higher planes, regardless of their 3D interactions. But they can be together if the work is being done. And the triggering is merely a tool to help the other grow and transform into their highest potential. When both people have transmuted much of the wounding they have within, their partnership can very much be that of the ultimate "power couple". There will be more of these couples showing up in the next coming years as we are shifting into new paradigms at a much more rapid pace and the need for their leadership will be paramount in creating new structures.
But do not feel as if this is your ultimate partnership or final goal as you can be just as happy with a soulmate/life partner. The goal is to experience love, to share love, to be love in whatever form that shows up as for you. The important thing to remember is that our interactions with others, as positive or negative as they may be, are merely here to teach us.. to help us shed, grow, transform and transmute... to help guide us along our journey. Keeping this in our mind will allow us to not take things so personally and to be able to get to the lessons much quicker than before... Thus, ensuring some smoother and more enjoyable experiences in our lifetime.
Much love,
