Twin Flames - Where Service Begins

Dr. Maurie D Pressman, author of Twin Souls; Finding Your True Spiritual Partner, said it best when he described the soul mate relationship as a relationship of the soul, not of the body.  We tend to forget we are three part beings, with our essence coming from source it almost seems as if we neglect that higher part of ourselves in exchange for the dogma and views of society that have been created by man.

Many who choose to walk on the path of devotion to clearing themselves for spiritual work and making a commitment to themselves to "find out more" are actually climbing the ladder of spiritual resolution.  For as we move into the light of our higher selves so do the energies that reside in the body.  Everything is connected - the body, the mind and the soul.  So as one changes so do the other two.

There are many places on the body of energy points that correlate to our higher selves and to that of the body.  Beginning with the largest chakras (or energy centers) we often see the root chakra located at the base of the spine as in the following diagram signified by the color red:

When someone "falls" in love, the energy usually starts with warm feeling in the heart and warm thoughts.  Many times this energy "falls" to the lower chakras and produces "sexual" feelings toward that person.

Prior to meeting or just after meeting a twin flame, your energy will not "fall" in love, but "grow" in love.  You will begin to clear the lower chakras of energies that have been accumulated through prior lifetimes and this one as well.  As you do you will move the energies up to source, resulting at the highest center or "crown" chakra which accesses the light of all things.  

On your way up you will notice a change in your physical body.  There will be times when there will be a "fire" in your heart center.  This "fire" is more intense than the "warm" you may have felt when you "fell" in love.  It is a burning sensation that doesn't hurt, but is definately felt as fire. It is at this point, the heart center, as signified here in the picture of Jesus that service will begin with your twin flame whether he or she is on this side of the veil or the other.  In Christian religions it is known as the sacred heart of Jesus - the significance being his love for humanity.  Your heart in service will be the same.  You will serve humanity with your twin flame.  This is union and divine love.  Not a love of the flesh.

Tibetan heart chakra

Further depictions are found in many places around the world.  I like the image of the tibetan heart chakra where this energy will make itself manifest.  It is the image of two superimposed triangles.  One signifying shiva the other shakti - Male and female energies joined together.

As  you might expect as you move further up to the crown that center will also open.  The result is a sensation of not only opening but almost as if a crown has been placed upon your head.  Again, if we follow the life of the master Jesus it is denoted in many paintings around the world as the golden halo - his divine essence that is God fortified.
