36 Ways You’ll Recognize Your Twinflame 

Twinflames are a real phenomenon and are one soul split into two separate incarnations. They are in essence two people that complement each other perfectly, as they are the physical embodiment of the yin and yang energy in human form. They are sometimes but not always, designed for each other in the romantic sense and are here to trigger each other's spiritual awakening and increase spiritual awakening on our planet. Here are 36 ways on how you can identify and will know if you’ve met your twin (mirror) soul.

1. Soul recognition upon first meeting

When you first meet, there is an instant recognition that occurs for both of you where your soul recognizes each other. There is a sense of familiarity that you can’t explain but is definitely there.

2. You feel like you’ve known each other forever/in past lives

When meeting your twinflame, it will feel as if though you have known this person forever or in previous lives. The reason this is so, is because you were literally one before coming into human incarnation, as the oversoul created two separate human incarnations at the same exact frequency for the highest amount of reflectivity and soul’s growth. You may also have shared past lives with them and unconsciously remember this.

3. You genuinely like them for who they are (even though some things about them you might really dislike or even hate)

After meeting them, you soon find out that you just really like this person. There’s something about them that you find appealing and although you may not quite be able to instantly point your finger on why exactly that is; the explanation behind this is very simple: it’s because they are literally you but in a different body!

4. You feel like you are destined to be together

You will probably feel like you are destined to be together or at least meant to cross paths not long after meeting this person. Your heart and intuition will just tell you that this situation is different and far from any other connection you’ve ever had with anyone else.

5. They feel like home

Your twinflame will feel like coming home to you in a way and you also to them. It’s because you are the same soul; there’s no one else who compares in that sense because you share the same energy essence.

6. You feel as though they are “the one”

You will often feel that they are the one because well.. they just really might be. You complement each other considerably because you are them and they are you on a soul level.

7. You think about each other 24/7 

You both constantly obsess over each other day and night because you are always vibrating in each other’s energy field since twinflames have a shared chakra system. When they think about you, you think about them and vice versa.

8. You are the perfect yin and yang to each other

Your twin will complement your strengths and weaknesses in every way possible and thus they mirror you perfectly. It is often seen that your strengths are their weak points and that their vigor or strengths are your weak spots.

9. Your first meeting feels extremely serendipitous and fairytale/movie-like

Your first encounter with each other will feel like something straight out of a movie but even better! It’s like universal or divine forces brought you together in the most serendipitous way and decided to make the whole setting extra special and unique, just to let you know “hey, it’s them!”.

10. You go through a separation phase

Unfortunately, almost all twinflames do go through one or more separation phases after their first physical encounter, just because they tend to trigger each other so much. This also means that they inevitably will bring out the dark inside of you in order to help you heal and let go of old toxic traits.

11. You experience a DKOTS

After separation occurs, you will experience what’s called a “DKOTS”. A "dark night of the soul" or "ego death" happens as a result of the separation and forces you to confront yourself with your own shadows, so that you can deal with them before coming into physical union again with your twinflame and have a more harmonious, healthy relationship.

12. You both have unconditional love for one another

The love you feel for your twinflame is spiritual and transcends and differs from the "normal" type of (eros) love. From a higher, non-duality (ego) perspective, this love is also mutual on both sides. This is what often differentiates soulmate and twinflame relationships.

13. You both have similar physical features and/or attributes that look exactly opposite one another

You may find it quite astounding to find out that you and your twinflame look quite alike in a sense. It’s reported that twinflames especially have striking similarities around the eye/brow area. Physical features that don’t look alike often look the exact opposite or may trigger you in a sense.

14. You share similar past events/experiences

You and your twin will definitely share the same or similar past experiences. They may have grown up in the same area or city as you, you may come from a similar background, have had similar job occupations etc.

15. You have similar and/or exact opposite interests, beliefs, values and principles

You both share all of these above because as stated before, you are in a way the same person and thus it’d only make sense that at the core, you are also pretty much the same.

16. They trigger your spiritual awakening and vice versa

Your twinflame will trigger your spiritual awakening like no one’s business. If you weren’t spiritually awakened yet before, then you sure will be then! When you meet your twinflame, it’s like meeting God. You’ll certainly start asking deeper questions about the nature of reality and begin questioning everything.

17. You both see and accept each other for who you truly are

You see them and they see you for who you both really are; that is at the core of your soul being, no matter the difficult and egoic circumstances that might be at play. This is what makes the connection divine. It is a love that you only know exists when you've found it; (spiritual/agape) unconditional love (love without boundaries).

18. Running and chasing dynamic before union

It’s high likely that when you meet your twin, you will soon after go through a "running and chasing" stage. The divine feminine in the connection is often the chaser at the beginning because she’s the positive polarity and imbalanced in her yin/yang energies. After a while, the dynamic tends to switch until the DF is fully healed and the DM starts pursuing her before they come together again (if that's in their soul contract and meant to happen for them).

19. You feel their energy all the time/extreme telepathic bond

You will feel their energy all the time if you’ve truly met your twinflame; it’s like they live inside of you in a strange way. This is because you have a shared chakra system (energy field) with them and also because you feel connected to them on a psychic level. You will furthermore experience extreme telepathy; always sensing what the other is going through and how they're feeling. 

20. Your life never looks the same again after first meeting

Your life is truly forever changed after meeting this person. As said before, it’s like coming into contact with God through another individual who is you. They are your mirror and perfect reflection and you can't help but feel love for them because they are you, your other polarity (even if you don’t recognize it at first).

21.You see signs everywhere

You will be bombarded with angel (repeating) numbers everywhere you go if you’ve met your twinflame and maybe even right before meeting them. You will probably most likely see “1111” and “222” or variations of them the most, as these are the “twinflame numbers”. You will also most likely be confronted a lot with the theme of literal twins and/or twinflames on your journey.

22. You see and/or hear their name everywhere

If you think you can forget about or escape this connection.. you are so wrong! The universe will keep reminding you of them until you have come into physical union; even if it takes years! You are guaranteed to be reminded of your twinflame on an every day basis by thoughts of them and seeing or hearing their first or last name, everywhere.

23. You think you’ve gone mad (you haven’t, *sort of*)

I know you think you’ve gone insane after meeting your twinflame (how could you not with the obsessive thinking?) but the truth is that that’s not really the case. You may only have “twinflamitis” (lol). The obsessive thinking between both twins is quite “normal” because they both vibrate at the same frequency and thus constantly pick up on each other’s emotions.

24. You may experience intense emotions when thinking about them during separation (overwhelming feelings of love, sudden crying, sense of desperation, confusion, fear of losing them etc)

You will probably experience a full range of different emotions after meeting your twin while in separation. This happens the most before actively balancing out both your feminine and masculine energies. This occurrence is normal since your twinflame has such a profound effect on you in many ways that it triggers your emotional and physical body to react to a heartfelt extend.

25. Meeting your twinflame feels like either one of the best or worst things that has ever happened to you

Believe it or not but meeting your twinflame really is one of the best things that has happened and will ever happen to you. Not only because you’ve met your other half in a sense (and not everyone is meant to meet or be with their twinflame) but also because this connection will allow you to grow and expand in ways that are beyond belief and what you can imagine is possible; whether you end up together romantically or not.

26. There's a significant age gap of 10+ years

About 50% of twinflames, according to Kurt Johnson from New World Allstar, have reported that there's a significant age gap in the relationship with their twinflame. This is not only because your soul is non-dual and can incarnate at any time throughout time and space but also to increase the level of difficulty in order to overcome and transcend obstacles and sometimes even public opinion and align with the universal truth of unconditional love. 

27. You share a rather convoluted (love) story

The relationship between twinflames is often seen as tumultuous and difficult, especially at the beginning stages. In a romantic twinflame connection, one twin could already be married or perhaps both are, making it harder to come together and make things work between them. Another example is that one could be very religious while the other person is an atheist ór it could even be the case that both twinflames live in different continents. 

28. There's an undeniable intense magnetic attraction between both of you

It can't be denied that there's an intense magnetic pull between both people, that is often present from the start when they meet or slowly develops once they interact with each other. This magnetic attraction doesn't fade and can always be felt, no matter the physical distance between them.

29. Your astrological/numerological birth charts will be highly compatible with one another and will show possible indicators of a TF connection 

It can be observed that the astrological and numerological influences of both twinflames at the time of birth and between their names shows many similarities and compatabilities. F.e: they might share the same Sun, Moon and/or even rising sign, have their Sun and Moon conjunct each other or Moon conjunct Moon in the synastry chart; as well as share the same life path or expression number.

30. You "just know" that they are your twinflame

Your intuition will always tell you the truth, so don't ignore it if you've got a gut feeling that's telling you that this person is your other soul half. It's just obvious if you've met this person that they are your twinflame, as you will recognize your own core frequency in them ánd you will trigger the hell out of each other because of course.. you're one and the same.

31. Parallel lives

One of the more profound things, is that you both are living parellel lives throughout your entire lifetime together! When you find this out at first, it can obviously seem quite scary. An example could be that both of you got married, received a child or got pregnant (with seperate partners that is), around the exact same date or within the same year. These things happen and have guaranteed álready happened on multiple different occasions, possibly without both of you even knowing. 

 32. Extreme push/pull dynamic

However strong the attraction, the push and pull energy is always strongly present; especially in the beginning phases of the relationship. As Mariya, an American medium and psychic on Youtube puts it: "The twinflame can be activating to you but as they're being activating, they're also being aggravating." Meaning, that this person will push all of your buttons and even drive you crazy, yet at the same time, also push you out of your comfortzone. 

33. The connection is everlasting

You can do whatever you want, one thing's for sure: you can't break this connection. No matter how hard you try because it's a soul connection before a physical one. Two people who share the same soul or soul signature; therefore the tie is unbreakable.

34. Similar birthdays

Just like physical twins, even your birthdays will most likely be similar; if that's not the case, they may share the same birthday as one of your siblings, parents etc.

35. Traumas that match or mirror each other

This connection must not be confused with a trauma bond, where two individuals feel drawn to each other due to negative experiences in their childhood. However twinflames have also had very similar life experiences growing up; as such, they often have (had) traumas that resemble each other a lot. Hence, these relationships can also possess toxic elements and are not particularly excluded.
