A twin flame is someone who is your “energetic counterpart” in the sense that your energies mirror each other’s. They are the only person that has the same core soul as you do. A good way to visualise this is to think of one soul in two bodies, born from the same original energy consciousness and then divided.

A twin flame is the only person on the earth at the same time as you with that specific connection. You can have many different soul mate connections in your lifetime. In addition, not everyone will have a twin flame relationship in their lifetime. 

A soulmate is someone who shares an energy with you, but your energies are not identical. Soulmates can be friends, family or partners and play many different roles. People usually have multiple soul mate relationships in their lifetime.

Some signs that the person you’re in a relationship with are feelings of intense connectedness abnormal to regular relationships, like you’ve known each other forever, or strange and unusual circumstances leading to your meeting, like something was guiding you to each other. Also, twin flames will sometimes have eerily parallel experiences to yours throughout their life. Twin flame relationships are usually intense, and often on-off. An increase in dream and astral activity as well as frequency of certain omens such as 11:11 or doves can indicate you’ve met your twin flame as well.
