This is not a mere obsession.
What’s the difference between a twin flame experience and limerence? One of them is an obsession that can’t be explained. The other is a highly spiritual experience that opens the door for meaningful inner transformation. Many people have sent me messages claiming that twin flames aren’t real and it’s just limerence, but they’re wrong. A real twin flame is something far beyond a mere unhealthy obsession.
Twin flames rock your world. It’s not just a relationship with another person; it’s a relationship with the universe. When you meet your twin flame, you meet yourself. Why wouldn’t you be obsessed with something of that magnitude?
It’s An Awakening
This is a divine experience. Meeting your twin flame causes a spiritual awakening. The world around you begins to shift in ways you can’t ignore. You may begin to see repeated numbers, hear their name everywhere, observe unusual animal behavior, and other synchronicities. To use the words of Paolo Coelho, “the entire universe conspires” to help you awaken.
So, what’s limerence? It’s something very mundane. It’s the way people living in a non-awakened state of consciousness will explain something like a twin flame. They don’t believe in miracles and magic, you see. I didn’t either, until I met my twin flame. Who can blame them for assuming that anything you’re obsessed with must be unhealthy?
A Healthy Obsession
There are healthy obsessions to be had. Twin flames are one of them. It’s only unhealthy and toxic when you remain fixated on it without allowing it to teach you something. It only harms you when you keep reaching for something outside yourself, when all of the wonders of the universe are within instead.
If you keep chasing twin flame “union,” you will remain unhappy and unfulfilled. Thus, you will remain obsessed in a bad way.
When you choose to channel this experience into something productive that changes your life for the better, this becomes a healthy obsession.
You must realize that this twin flame experience is a portal to a higher level of consciousness. It’s on your mind all the time because it’s your calling to change something — to approach life in ways you never imagined before. It’s the universe’s way of forcing you to pay attention.
You must get off the hamster wheel in your mind that keeps you addicted to the same thoughts over and over. It’s not easy to do, but this experience is a gift that gives you no other choice. You have to transcend reality to do it — something most people living in the mundane world will never choose to do!
Limerence Won’t Elevate You
Conversely, limerence won’t elevate you to new levels of consciousness. It keeps you trapped in your own mind. It eats you alive.
Limerence can seem like part of the twin flame journey — but it’s not the whole story. When you meet your twin flame, it’s obvious that there’s something spiritual going on immediately. There’s more to reality than meets the eye. With a bad obsession, you are so focused on that person that you don’t see the magic going on in your life.
Twin Flames Are Intelligent People
I have heard countless stories from my clients about their bizarre and incredible twin flame experiences. These people aren’t lying. This isn’t just limerence. They would never pay to talk to me just to make up stories.
Some of my clients have been surgeons, high-level executives, teachers, lawyers, and therapists. These are people walking around in the world with you, interacting with you, and they seem like “regular” people, but they’re having an intense spiritual awakening. On the inside, they are melting down. They’re struggling to keep a sense of reality.
They have experienced something profound, and it’s turning their world upside down. They can’t talk to anyone about it. Most people think it sounds crazy or it’s just limerence…so, they find me because I’m the only one who won’t judge.
I not only don’t judge them, but I also find every single twin flame story fascinating. They’ve all met a person who has made them relate to themselves and the universe in new ways. It’s inspiring. It reminds me of my own twin flame experience and validates my own sanity.
My Experience
Before all of this happened to me, I was a software engineer. I was a teacher before that. I have a graduate degree in philosophy. I am a highly skeptical and analytical person. But after meeting my twin flame, the wildest things began to happen to me, and I knew it wasn’t just a crush or an obsession with a person. It was something happening between me and the universe.
I used to think I was going nuts, and I had doubts sometimes about what I’d experienced. But I know I would never believe something without a full critical examination — and so, here I am, writing about it and coaching people on their twin flame journeys.
I’m a smart person — either I’ve completely lost my mind or twin flames are real! I don’t think I am crazy — I’ve put a lot of thought into it. I can’t deny my experiences. And you shouldn’t deny yours, either. Twin flames are real, and this is not just limerence.
