When people come to me for readings I hear the phrase twin or twin flame, soul mate, karmic, and 'false twin' a lot.
Here is an intro into what each of them are and the different roles they have in your life.
Twin flame: A twin flame is the person who embodies the other half of your soul. The popular understanding of twin flames is that a soul splits into two and inhabits two separate bodies. Both of these people will likely feel like something is off or wrong in their lives for the most part. Many will feel lost, like they don't fit it or like they are looking for something but they don't know what.
When the time is right these two people will meet and this will trigger the start of an intense connection which begins with a period of heavenly-level bliss and joy where the other person and your connection feel perfect, then difficulties arise followed by a separation and time to heal.
The role of your twin flame is to not only give you a glimpse of how you can feel again when you are healed but they will mirror back all of your wounds and fears so that you can begin to heal them. It is a deeply transformative connection which will bring you home to yourself, and if both twins want it, home to each other.
False twin: Personally, I don't use this phrase ever in my readings because a false twin to me is either a soul connection or a karmic connection.
These are people you experience a deep connection with that you may feel and may bear many of the hallmarks, of a twin flame connection. It is often the case that those whom you deeply connect with are likely to be part of your soul family (including soul connections and mates) or are a karmic connection. In either case, the familiarity you feel will be due to a deep ethereal and energetic connection and a subconscious memory of many past lives you have shared together, hence the deep sense of connection, comfort and warmth between you.
A karmic connection is someone who you have unresolved baggage from past lives with or who are in your life as part of a soul agreement that you will help the other person learn vital lessons on their journey and, in my experience, do not offer a level of joy the way the soul group or mate does.
Soul mate / Soul group / Soul Connection / Soul family: These terms are largely interchangeable but all bear one thing in common; a deep connection and a feeling of familiarity with this person.
Soul mates come in many forms, they can show up as friends, romantic partners, pets, family members and people you feel you have a deep affinity with.
Usually, you will find that you share a common interest or goal with these people, you feel like things are easy and they will also be in your life for a reason. This could be as simple as mutual support but it could also be a deep love due to having been in love in many lifetimes.
For many people on the twin flame journey, they may first connect with a soul mate prior to meeting their twin, or once they have healed what they need to and if their twin is unavailable, a soul mate will come into their life for them to have a relationship with if that is what they desire.
My view is that soul mates tend to offer more positive experiences in your life when compared to karmics, who also serve a vital purpose.
Karmic / Karmic connection: One of the least popular things about karmics is that they are often the partner of your twin flame or an ex you have that you really don't like. I hear so many negative things said about karmics, which I understand stems from the pain of your twin being with them over you, but these people are part of your twin and your journey for a reason, however the karmic embodies a lesson for you and your twin flame.
They will be a carbon copy of someone else in your life that you may no longer be in contact with that you left unresolved stuff with, they will give you challenges to see how far you have grown and if you are willing to settle for less and they will also have likely been in the way of your connection in past lives.
Before we all come to earth we make agreements as souls about the roles we will play in each other's lives. Karmics will be people who will present vital challenges and lessons that you or your twin agreed to learn and while that makes them unpopular with anyone who feels they are in the way of their union, know that as a soul you agreed for this person to be in your life and they will also be there to show you things about yourself.
I hope this helps you understand the difference, if this has been helpful please consider buying me a coffee!
