Twin Flames & Karmic Soul Mates - What is the difference?

A common question I get, and as well as a common topic that comes up in my Relationship Readings is, "What is the difference between a twin soul and karmic soul mate? Can I have more than one soul mate?"

​Well, the simple answer is: we have many soul mates, or karmic soul contracts, but only one twin soul. To better explain is to understand what each one is.

Karmic Soul Mates

Before you reincarnated on this earth you had discussed the lessons and goals you aimed to achieve with your soul group. Many have different ideas and theories on what a soul group is, or how many you have in your group, but mainly these souls are reincarnated with you to fulfill soul contracts of spiritual evolution, growth, and life lessons.
​
Karmic soul contracts are some tricky relationships, and as twin flames, can be anything as well as romantic. A karmic mate is someone you had made a contract with to balance karmic debts and life lessons. They are here to teach you, to change you, and to evolve you into new levels of consciousness and growth.

​Often these are relationships are the ones where you feel as if you have known one another lifetimes before because the connection is so deep. They are your best friends that just "get you", or that challenging coworker who pushes you to compete with yourself. Whatever the case, a karmic soul mate is someone who comes into your life to teach you about yourself, life and love.

​Karmic relationships can also be your most challenging and life-altering. These can be the people who have hurt you the most - but through that pain and experience you are able to find your strengths and redirection towards your higher path. For example: Your mother may have rejected you or withheld affection growing up, and so you had spent much of your life with toxic or difficult relationships with women when it comes to attachment and that need for affection or validation. Your mother had taught you what you needed in love, by giving to you the opposite.

​Often, you will meet a pleather of the same personality or tone in relationships until that karmic lessons is learned within yourself - each one of those relationships are placed there by contract to push you of the repeated mistakes/lessons so you can evolve and grow.

Twin Flames

Many also refer to Twin Souls as Twin flames. This is because the level of passion and radiant light that is involved in these relationships.

Not everyone will experience a twin soul reunion in their lifetime. This only comes to those whom are ready to ascend from this realm onto the next, by sharing and completing a mission which requires the help of their twin. There are many legends and myths about twin soul relationships and a lot of them share a common theme. While they do share these qualities, each relationship is different any may not be exactly by the book. Not to mention, a lot of these qualities may just be karmic soul mates - there is really a lot more to a twin soul  relationship than some of the info explains online.

Signs of a Twin Soul Relationship

If more than a few of these signs relate to a relationship you feel is of twin soul quality, then you just may have met your twin. However, if only a few stick out, then you more than likely have a karmic relationship.

The 'Knowing'

You just know from the depths of your being that "the one" or some romantic fairytale was meant for you. There is a strong urge to love, to be loved, and to find your healing cure of True Love.

Repeated Visions or Prophecies

Many Twin Souls have foreseen one another or had dreams which manifested upon meeting their mate. Your dreams and daydreams are filed with passion and spiritual love. You may have even encountered previous karmic mates who have matched many of these "visions".

Folk Memory

Twin Souls are usually very evolved, or ancient beings whom are connected with their past lives. When you have met your twin in the past, and did not complete the mission you were destined to, then you get a chance to repeat the lesson in a future life. This is much like karmic soul mates and balancing the debt, however with your twin soul you have a mission to fulfill together, rather than just personal growth and life lessons to partake in.

The Runner & the Chaser

Now here's the thing, I don't necessarily believe that twin souls run from one another when the connection gets too deep, or the shadow work becomes too intense. If they run, they are simply karmic soul mates here to teach you about attachment or rejection and loneliness.

​The 'theory' is that when they first meet, they are given a mirror image of what needs to be worked on within, and then they will part ways to evolve and come back to one another evolved, and ready to do the soul work they were destined to do with one another. I feel that information was placed there to give those hope whom are desperately chasing after someone who doesn't want to get "caught".

​Twin Soul relationships are more powerful than karmic ones, and that is because each soul much do the self-work and soul evolution before the meeting can even take place to begin with.

Shared Life Purpose

Twin Souls reunions are more than just a mind exploding love that transcends time and the universe. They are work. Not just self-work, they are work in serving humanity as a whole. Your life mission becomes apparent, which is shared and amplified with your twin. You don't have the share the same trade or modality in healing, but you two together as a team enable each of you to push forward with your best self for doing what you do. This is the key ingredient to make a twin soul relationship - without a mission or some urge within to help mankind together, the relationship is then just karmic.

Ascension

When the mission is fulfilled, the souls will combine into one, and leave this plane or realm. You would not have to come back to this Earth again to undergo karmic lessons and soul evolution.
