You’re linked on an energetic and spiritual level to your twin flame.

Twin flames are energetic signatures that have incarnated on earth.

As twin flames, you share the same energy vibration and your souls recognize each other immediately when you first meet face-to-face.

Twin flame relationships often involve a complete merging of identities, as if the two people become one.

Spirit Animals In Your Twin Flame Journey

Twin flames may experience many symbols from their spirit animal kingdom.

You may see signs from your twin flame’s spirit animal in your day-to-day life, but don’t always interpret them correctly.

Animals show up in a symbolic manner to deliver a message. Especially if they show up in pairs.

They symbolize that you are on the twin flame path, or when your soul signature is near.

Twin flame signs from spirit animals can help guide you back to your twin flame if you’re lost, and vice versa.

You can ask for a sign from a specific animal just as a way of confirming a feeling or gut instinct that you have.

Spirit animals are important in your journey with your twin flame because it’s the only way you can actually see, (and sometimes interact with) your twin flame in non-physical form.

They often exist on different planes of existence than us – most of us can’t see beyond the third dimension, but they exist on the fifth dimension.

Twin flame signs from spirit animals can bring guidance to your relationship problems, letting you know that there is another perspective available to you.
