Meeting Your Soulmate After a Twin Flame Journey

For the last six years, I have been obsessed with the twin flame journey. No matter what I did or who else I dated, no one could compare to what I had experienced with my twin flame.

The one year that I was with him transformed me completely. I became more spiritual, went through the Dark Night of the Soul, met my inner child and core shadows, and experienced a love (and sex) that I had never felt before.

So when it ended, I was beyond devastated. It felt like my heart and soul had broken into a million pieces, impossible to be repaired without him.

I was so lost without him that I even took plant medicine (like ayahuasca) to get to the core of it all.

No one else will compare

But no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to get over my twin flame. Even though there were moments I didn’t want to get back to him due to his narcissism, I also couldn’t be without him.

And that is exactly the purpose of the twin flame journey: you need to find the way back to yourself.

Your twin flame is not the one you are looking for — YOU are. That is why these connections are so incredibly powerful. You were never in union with a person; you were in union with a frequency you have in yourself all along.

They came to activate that. Your twin flame is your own Higher Self.

The psychology of twin flames

Your twin flame doesn’t come into your life randomly. There is a bond between you two that is incredibly magnetic and will lead you to them at some point.

And when you meet them, you will know instantly: this is it. That is because your nervous system is looking to be rewired. You were probably in survival mode most of your life, feeling like you were not really you. That you don’t really belong.

Your twin flame immediately recognises themselves in you, too. Both of your traumas are being exposed in this connection, and that is extremely powerful.

You met them because you needed an identity transition. And until that transition is complete, you will keep longing for them.

Why ordinary love feels impossible

With your twin flame, a whole new world opened up. You probably experienced telepathy, feel their emotions even when they are away, and have a connection beyond anything you’ve ever felt.

So when you start dating a new person after that, it won’t feel that way. You keep circling back to your twin flame (I have done that for five years as well), because that is where you felt most alive.

You now reject anything that doesn’t feel like a soul connection, because there is just nothing like it. And it keeps you totally in a loop.

Will there ever be anyone who feels the same as your twin flame? Yes and no, and the no is a good thing.

Intensity vs destiny

Here’s why many twin flames stay stuck: they see intensity as the way to destiny. But intensity is an initiation, not a compatibility marker.

The intensity you feel with your twin flame is ultimately a trauma bond energy; it is meant to wake you up so you can move beyond it. For very few twin flames, this happens with each other. Instead, for many, they need to move away from their trauma and thus their twin flame.

In my case, my trauma was narcissistic male energy caused by my father. When I realised my twin flame was also narcissistic, I knew that was my core wound. I had to move past that to let go of that part of me.

I had to move past my twin flame to trust myself. To show my Higher Self that I don’t need that energy in my life anymore.

My nervous system doesn’t want to wait or chase any longer; it wants reciprocal love and stability.

New love is also part of a soul contract

Twin flames catalyse, but soulmates stabilise. Your twin flame is not your forever person unless both of you complete the karmic loops and ego dissolution.

When one of you doesn’t do that, a new soul contract will arrive. I waited six years to meet this new person, and I can tell you: it feels so much better than my twin flame.

There is definitely a soul connection between us as well, but it’s calmer and more aligned. We still have wounds, but we help each other heal, instead of mirroring them back to each other all the time.

There is more harmony and fewer ego games. My soul feels safe with him and his with mine. We are both growing but in a harmonious way, not in a battle.

Signs you are ready for a soulmate love

You might wonder when you will finally meet that soulmate, but it won’t happen until you are ready.

So, how to know you are ready?

1. You no longer chase energetic validation from your twin flame

You stop stalking, stop checking their social media, or dwell in the connection. The psychic longing stops.

2. Your heart feels spacious instead of contracted

Love starts to feel like a current passing through you, and you truly wish the best for your twin. You stop craving them and realise what unconditional love feels like.

3. You can think about them without collapsing

The moment you can think about your twin flame without being triggered, sad or numbed out, you know you are ready. Your thoughts about them are peaceful and loving, instead of obsessive.

4. You are calling in someone instead of chasing it

This was a big one for me. I started to call in the soulmate energy that I knew I was worthy of. I energetically rejected any men who didn’t value me and stopped chasing that addictive love feeling.

Why soulmate love is better than twin flame love

I will never forget my twin flame, and I am forever grateful for our experience together. But I also know that I don’t want that anymore. I don’t want to feel that I need to be chosen. I don’t want to feel like I need to change myself to be with someone who keeps me walking on eggshells.

My soulmate love is way less explosive and much more stable, and I love that. It still feels like a powerful, energetic connection, but without the chaos and drama.

There is a healthy attachment between us and not the constant push-pull energy. I no longer want to be someone’s healer; instead, I want to be an anchor and inspiration for them.

I met many other men after my twin flame, but nobody felt like this soulmate. It made me lose faith for a long time, but I can tell you that it’s so worth the wait (and the inner work).

How to call in a soulmate after a twin Flame?

This was a hard lesson for me to learn because I held on to the twin flame idea for so long. I believed that we were destined to be together and that I would never find anybody like him.

And that was true. We were destined, but not forever, and I would never find anybody like him, and I don’t want to either.

You have to release the twin flame energy if you want to find soulmate love. Heal the mirrored wound your twin flame activated in you, which is based on abandonment, rejection, self-worth, and core fears.

How? I wrote a non-bullshit twin flame shadow work journal. This is not to bring you back to your twin flame, but to recognise old patterns in yourself and claim back your power.

The shadow prompts in this journal will reveal a deeper layer of the twin flame journey and why it’s necessary to let go before you can move on.

What if the twin flame returns?

Some twin flames do have a physical union in this life as well, but only when both souls heal. The question is not whether they come back, but whether their frequency has changed.

If they return with the same wounds, it’s a loop, and you will keep repeating the same karmic lessons. If they return healed, you will know because there is no longer fear of abandonment in the connection.

Sometimes, twin flames return because there is another timeline crossing, not because you are destined to be together. It happened to me as well, and it confused me a lot. But now I know that I still hadn’t learned the lessons back then.

My twin flame returned one last time about six months ago, and that’s when I knew for sure: my story with him is over. All I feel is love for him, and I will continue to feel that. I have no resentment or longing whatsoever for him any longer.

Your twin flame was preparing you for higher love

There is a lot written and said about twin flames, and nobody really knows the answer. Some would say my twin flame was actually a karmic bond, and I can’t say they are wrong.

But for me, a twin flame is somebody who initiates your healing journey and changes the core of who you are. It doesn’t really matter what label you attach to it — it matters what it caused in you.

And if your twin flame paved the way for authentic love (for yourself and for your partner), that is all that matters. My twin flame was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I wouldn’t want to have missed a single minute of it.

But my soulmate’s love is so much healthier and more balanced for me.

“You never lose your twin flame. You integrate them. And from this integration, a new timeline of love becomes not only possible…it becomes inevitable.”
