A fascinating book that reveals to us what a twin soul is. I would recommend it because they are the same principles that I have always believed.

When we are born it begins a journey. Along the way on this long winding path we eventually end up seeking many things. One of which is love. In the beginning, it is from our Mother & Father, then our family, community and so on. Eventually, assuming everything goes right, we begin to find we have a void within us, which other forms of love can't seem to fill.

We have all known loneliness, a dark emptiness within our soul which seems to stretch for an eternity. We feel like we are apart of nothing, just drifting aimlessly upon the sea of humanity with no destination, nor land in sight. At times despair is like our wet clothing as we shiver cold and alone in the darkness. To distract ourselves we dream of "The One" and how they will lift our spirits and take away the emptiness, this absence of life.

For some, eventually someone comes along and brings light to this darkness. But as humans, sometimes we are by this time so starved to be "touched" that we unknowing make compromises which, if we were rational we would not make. Thus the saying. "Blinded by Love ". Because, of these compromises, we may never find our true predestined love.

Many of you now, are not in a twin soul or at least in a soulmate relationship. The truth is you got tired of waiting and you settled for the best "offer" at the time. This was your choice, and now is your Karma. But in your heart, in your soul, you know if someone is your Soulmate or twin soul , for it goes beyond just love. It is a form of joining.

When you meet your twin soul this person will have an instantaneous effect on you. A twin soul is someone who makes your knees go weak and you want to catch your breath. With but a single glance they lessen your burden and but a smile, warms your heart. You will feel a sense of connection ( affinity ) with this person. They will touch you so deeply on so many levels, you will want to share your inner most secrets. For the first time in your life someone will make you feel like almost like a god. Once you have met your twin soul for better or sometimes worse, your life will never be the same.

One of the things which makes this experience unique is the sense of a meaningful spiritual experience. You both feel like this is to be and that you've been together before in a past incarnation. Normally for some, it is several months, weeks or days before physical intimacy (sex) occurs. But when you meet your twin soul something happens, the pull or drive to become physically intimate overwhelms many, and one finds it happening basically in the initial meeting. There's a sense of safety with this person. You knowingly let go of your defenses as an empathic like bond is formed. Unlike other relationships, in the past, there will be no game playing or hidden agendas which plagued you in the past.

Sometimes the best way to find something, is by not looking for it. With this in mind, you probably will meet your twin soul when you're not looking. Since life revels in making things difficult, you'll probably meet them in the morning when your on the grave yard shift. For many it will be after a bad relationship or several bad relationships. For some it would be when they are already in a "good or committed relationship". If you're lucky you won't have to wait until your 50 to meet your twin soul. But if you do. well at least you'll appreciate it's significance more, than someone in there twenties. You have had the benefit of experience, the perspective of age and the knowledge, such love is once in a life time.

The point here is "Serendipity", so forget about taking that "Singles" bus tour to the Circus. Sure you'll meet a lot of nice people and perhaps you really should get out, but just be prepared to ..Well, meet some real clowns.

The universe is a funny place, don't be surprised if your twin soul is older or younger. Twin soul don't care about age. How much older or younger ? From my observations, expect years like 7 to 20. In a true twin soul relationship it won't matter, if anything it will make you stronger. Life is not neat, nor has it ever been. So why should it start now ?

There is something about the Passion you share with an twin soul. It goes beyond just " body parts". For a moment in time you two are the only ones who exist in the universe. Hearts beating in rhythm as your souls have intertwined themselves becoming one. Your personal energies meld and you feel the flame of creation move through you like a wave of the ocean on a hot summers day. Soon you begin to lose track, of where you begin and your partner ends. From within the depths of your raw passionate union, your twin soul will know how and where to touch you. It will be different, intense and more gratifying than lovers of your past.

They will look into your eyes and you will feel your soul open wide. For some people, there is the "Rush". All the love, all the lust, all the need will surge forth from your soul like captives from a prison. At this moment you will know what it means to get lost within someone's eyes. You will experience a touch you have never felt before and your lust will rise to new levels.

To put it simply, your twin soul will be able to make love to you in ways no one else will be able to match.

It is within our nature as human being to mess things up. The very thing which makes twin soul love so special, is the one thing which can bring it down. The simple fact is, the unparalelled love & passion is terrifying to many people.

We learned how to have relationships from our parents or primary giver. If your primary givers relationships were dysfunctional, then chances are so are yours. There are many people in this world who in relationships maintain an extreme amount of emotional control. They take pride in the fact that their partner is madly in love with them. By being able to "wrap them around their finger" they feel safer. Thus, all their relationships become based on this pattern. Then one day their twin soul comes along and wham!. Quickly they discover the control over their heart and the relationship is gone. Now they must relate on a level playing field, and for many, they run.

For those of you who are runners let me tell you what you already know. It doesn't work. You can move to the other side of the planet, marry someone else and fill up your spare time with some cause. But the simple truth is, your twin soul will be there in your soul. No matter how hard you try, no matter how busy you make yourself, everyday they will enter you thoughts. So then many try and have sexual affairs with others. But that doesn't work either, for it becomes just sex and as you lay there afterwards you will feel empty and cheated.

A good measure of this is a simple test. After you have just made love to the person who you are using as a safe substitute, do you find yourself wanting to "get away" from them? When you were with your twin soul, didn't you feel the need to remain close, to pull each other tightly and melt into each other? That's the difference....and one which is very hard to hide from yourself.

If you run, then you've made the conscious choice to doom yourself and the other person to be haunted for the rest of your life. Sure, you may eventually fall in love with someone who fits your preconceived image or expectation (cute, rich or successful) of what your partner should be. But as time moves on...you never forget, you always wonder and then you eventually regret. I have a saying:

The twin soul relationship is worth putting up a fight, but there comes a time when you have done all that you can do..and you can do no more. At some point, the one who runs has to choose to stop and come to their senses. Life is sadly cruel, just as it is grand. Short of burying your child, losing your twin soul is indescribable anguish.

It is like having your tender soul ripped from your body. You feel lost, abandoned and betrayed. There is a sense of panic which permeates your very being and personal existence. You find yourself saying, "never again". You did something you had never done before, you willingly let another in....all the way.

Eventually, after the shock, the depression comes, then the anger and then you just want it all to end. You wish you could just stop feeling...but you can't. And no matter how much you drink, smoke or eat, you can't make the pain go away. Yes, regular love hurts too..and badly. But when you lose your twin soul, no matter how enlightened, wise or talented, in both will and spirit you are...it is devastating.

Many of us sadly, fail to recover and we truly never "Love" again. Those who are really weak, try to kill themselves. Be it with a car speeding on a wet winding road after drinking, or "J" walking on 42nd street, to just taking one too many pills. The end result is the same if we succeed, suicide is suicide whether you leave a note or not.

In the end, we don't even want to see the person, because that just tares open the wound over and over. Right or wrong, that's just the way it is. Eventually, you go on with your life and you stop hating them...because like you...they will never forget either.

Every now and then life gives us a happy ending. Sometimes, after trying to get their twin soul out of their minds, the "runner" comes to realize what they had lost. A few are wise enough to do whatever it takes to correct the situation and get back into their twin soul's arms. Hopefully, not enough time has gone by so that the situation is salvagable. But oftentimes it's not. All I can say is TRY. With twin soul there is NO pride, and there CAN be forgiveness. We are destined to meet our twin soul, what you do after that is "your" choice.

We are born into this world alone and we begin our journey. Few are lucky we find the right partner, "The ONE" along the way. With this person we grow, learn and experience the wonders of human existence. They become part of us, as we become part of them. Eventually, our journey must end as we were born to die, alone. But in between these two points we hopefully have learned, experienced and gained some wisdom with the chance to pass it on.

As I walk my chosen path I say to those of you who shall follow me, this is but one part of the road which lay ahead of you.

In my lifetime, I found my twin soul. I know the joys, the exquisite highs and the sense of oneness, completion and peace. Yet as we turn the coin on the other side, I also know the ongoing torment of losing one. I hope you never have to find out how it feels....to lose part of oneself. But if you do, know this: "You will survive. Your life will never be the same, but given enough time you will survive" At such a moment, you are not able to see that way. Once you do survive, the choices, good or bad, are your responsibility...and life will be what YOU make of it.

This is the best book read so far to explain this. I met my twin soul three years ago. We had a relationship before we ever met in person. The way we met you wouldn't believe. But it was shortly after we did meet that I realized she'd been in these weird dreams that left a mark on me. They were different dreams like people say "astral" or spiritual meetings. When it all clicked together what was going on, I left her running! For six months I would not talk to her. It was the scariest thing ever! The bad part was in that time I didn't realize the torment I put her through. It was real bad. My stuff effected her. Things kept happening even while I would not deal with it. Coincidences kept on coming! Weird things like certain numbers and times. I know it was God's way of getting my attention and showing me the ultimate relationship but it was too much. After I looked into what it was, all made more sense. But hard for me to believe. Like you get stunned into shock. Meanwhile it changes you and nobody else can relate. The hardest part for us was it opened up all of our problems since kids and adult things. I felt exposed and cured at the same time. We totally got each other. I now realize we couldn't have healed if we didn't work on it together. But at the time I didn't feel good enough. I ran! See I'm no spiritual person or role model to world aid. All of my seven relationships ended up the same...broken up. Finally realizing everything I was going through, she was too. So I dealt with her. You don't understand what this experience is like!!! They know you on the inside because they are you. When you look into their eyes it's like you get pulled into them through the eyes. You see you. I still stand their lost in a daze sometimes. The most incredible feeling but it freaked me out in the beginning!!! It's like you see yourself the way God does. It's incredible and we sat there crying for hours! After comparing experiences and realizing all the hurt I put her through, we kept up the relationship but it went so quick. It's like you already known each other forever. It is like a "forced marriage" but it is the best you've ever known. We slowly dealt with it and realized our lives matched up many times and we are drawn to most the same things. Music, food, hobbies, even little habits we both do...at the same time! We even have the same sense of humor and weird lip thing we do. Take your average best relationship where you were compatible and x-it by 100. That's how the matches are. It's really weird! We got married two years back and our first baby's due any day now! The experience is incredible. I have no idea how much love you can feel. Filled with this happiness I never felt. It's not just a normal relationship. The twin flame and the soulmate are also different. You come into this light of understanding these bigger things and realize you knew the answers. It's weird. I never thought I would be married now and it even goes above what most people have in a regular marriage. Our connection goes beyond human communication. After I surrendered to what it all was and we got past the freakiness of it all, it's the best relationship. You know each other intimately,way no one else could. It's like we're extra stronger. Our disagreements are reactive but they're usually over pretty quick and as mad as we both get we're the only ones there in an instant to pick the other up or help them in a way nobody else could get. Every day is indescribable. Now we hardly have disagreements and have figured out how to deal with it all. The physical and sexual part of our relationship is something I can't even write. Never had anything like it. Even just holding her or when she holds me. Like getting charged by the universe. We still don't understand everything and we live fairly normal but we grow like one unit. We realized we didn't have to take on every problem of the world and for us, we started a small project helping one specific cause near to us both working with the environment. We do it on the side and it rewards us in the stragest ways. I never thought I'd hear myself talk like this. I'm a different man and have true love every day. It's this intimate relationship that's incredible and cool. You understand each other entirely. The feelings you feel are, I can't really explain it. It must be like Heaven. Though I didn't think I deserved it or was "enlightened" now I thank God every day for showing me this reality and giving me the strength to face it. It's just been incredible.

Not only is it no accident that you are seeking out information on twin souls or twin flames at this time, it is no accident that you find each other. This is a time when many twin souls are reuniting. Authors Joudry and Pressman describe the Divine Plan of the Soul's masculine and feminine aspects, seemingly separate, yet eternally linked, as each journeys through individual growth to at last reunite into conscious soul unfoldment together. This book clearly explains the process, provides you with the steps of preparation, the keys to recognizing your twin, recounts stories of several twin soul encounters, and inspires your own growth. It is written in a poetic prose that is filled with the awe and the rapture appropiate to the momentousness of two twins coming together in consciousness and unconditional love.

I loved this book and have used it as my "bible," having found it after I had met my twin, but didn't know how to articulate the experience. TWIN SOULS gave me the words and much more understanding of the events occurring in my life. I found it so reassuring that dozens of things that had happened to me were similarly described right there in the book as examples of what may occur between twins as they come together. I am immensely grateful for the guidance this book has given to me.

This book came to me at a time when I was mulling the difference between soulmates and twin souls. The book has helped re-affirmed many things for me. From what I have understood, soulmates are people one feels an affinity to. It could be your parents, children, friends, siblings, spouses or may even be a relative. It could be a soulmate in several areas or only be in one area (such as a soulmate in music, or sports etc). It's very easy to relate to soulmates. There is a certain ease in relaying things and these people can easily understand you because their personalities are very much like yours. However, they cannot automatically perceive your feelings and yearnings because aside from GOD only your a twin soul has a full understanding of who you are and your emotions because you are 'the other half of the same person.' A twin soul is a twin in everything, in happiness and sadness. It is almost like a "FORCED MARRIAGE" because you really have no say in who your twin soul is. However, it is not a bad thing. A twin soul is also a soulmate in all areas. This person knows you inside and out. And when the right time comes for the union, it will happen without much effort and with much "magic". For people who found their twin souls the feeling is phenomenal. It's Indescribable. Time stops. You can look at this person and drown in this person's eyes. The mere thought of the person seem to make you smile and everything happier. The mere mention of the person's name makes you want to kiss the person when around and yearns for the person when away. This person, your soul would recognize, is your true destiny. You will be blown away by the knowledge that there really can be nobody else you can love more, in all the world. And if you try to look deeply enough, you will see your very own soul. However, this is also a matter of readiness between the two, the willingness to accept the gift and to fight for it no matter what. I am speaking also from experience. Many years ago, someone who I believe now is a twin revealed himself in my dream. The dream was a recurring one. There, this person was filled with sadness and praying to GOD to call me in his life. Every night I would see this person in my dream call me and say the same prayers. For years, I ignored these dreams. But it was like "a call" that had a certain pull on me. Everything after that was like "MAGIC". Reading this book is like reading everything that I had experienced except the book cannot really share the "fullness" of the reality of it. Because one has to experience it to know that.

This is a great book, and I would recommend it to people who are ready for the experience, or for those who want to prepare for the meeting with their twin souls. Personally, I find that it is easier to deal with soulmates than twin souls. Dealing with twin souls can sometimes pull into surface many things that each individual wouldn't want to deal with. Many have mentioned their wonderful experiences with their twin souls which were covered in most of this book. But my experience with my twin soul was far from it. I have met my twin soul many years ago and it scared the heck out of me. It was the knowing, not the feeling, that the person is the twin. There are some people, like me, who can just tell this things. We just don't brag about it because people will say we're crazy! Then, there are those, like my twin soul, who second guess a lot. But I was extremely blessed because this kind of experience is very rare. Especially, considering the fact that there are several of soulmates and only one twin soul. The chances of meeting a soulmate vs. a twin soul are better. You have to be on an extremely high spiritual level to unite with a twin soul. This is the only way, I find, the twin will gravitate towards you. This is how we found each other. Second, you have to know yourself very well because if your twin soul is your other half, there is no way you will recognize your twin if you don't know yourself. This is a gift which I have been fortunately blessed with. I recognized him rightaway. It is also true that there are people who run. I almost did. But I did not. As I have mentioned, my meeting with my twin soul was not the happily ever after that one might come to expect. The reason for this was because my twin soul and I were just not ready for each other. When we met, it was so surreal. I could not believe how much I love him. I didn't even know why I did. It was like the more I know him, the more I love him. It was the kind of love that grew everyday and I could not seem to stop. All these things did not make any sense at all. It scared me. I also know he was feeling the same thing as well. My problem was everything that he ever said and done indicated to me mixed messages. I felt that everything that came out of his mouth, no matter how unintentional, effectively pushed me away without him knowing. After some time, I was convinced that a future between us was not to be. He was hesitant to let go and yet too insecure to hold on. That scared me even more. With the kind of love I have for him, I was not willing to risk it all for someone who is not sure of himself. It would be a kind of loss I will not recover from. So I took back what's left of myself and left the ball in his court. I then come to realize that he needed the time to really know himself well. It was the main reason why he was very insecure. The only way for that was for me to pull away. In the end, everything worked out as expected. He did know himself better now. Although as to finding himself, I am not too sure. What he does now is up to him. The only thing that bothers me are occassions of his depression. I sometimes feel that. There are times that I wonder if I had been unfair. But the love between twin souls are always true, and true love always wants the best for the beloved. I did my best and what I thought was best for him. I am now happily married to a soulmate who is helping me to be an even better person. Our babies (we're expecting twins) are going to be born any day now. My husband and I are so excited to welcome them. Although it is true that I would choose my twin soul always over anyone else at any time, I have learned that there are many experiences that I still need to have to be truly ready for a twin soul union. Everyone must at any level of spiritual development do their best to be happy and at peace within themselves. This is my advice for everyone who met their twin at the time before they are ready. I am giving this advice because rightafter deciding to separate from my twin soul, I used to feel lost. Life at that time seem to have lost it's meaning. At the time, I could not fully understand why that kind of "disaster" has occurred. But this is what has to happen to unite me to a future that is best for me. Then later union with my twin soul.
Again, I like this book because it did cover all aspects of twinsoulship. I just thought to share this area since it is less thought of.

For anyone who has been swept into the indescribably magical and bewildering meeting with their Twin Soul or Twin Flame, this book is a comfort and a confirmation. For those who don't know what a Twin Soul is, this offers a excellent explanation of the phenomena... word of warning, this is not a "How to Find a Soulmate" book, the meeting of twin souls is usually challenging on spiritual, emotional, mental and physical levels and not always the "happily ever after" on this plane of existance at least...

~Harusami

The book was well written and provided useful information in how one prepares for the union of twin souls. It also provided the nature of twin soul relationship and what "signs" would be present" when you meet your twin soul as well as the conflicts/obstacles that might arise during the union. In the end of the book are examples of couples whom the author believes as twin souls.

I would say that this is a book that tackles a very interesting subject (especially for the romantic at heart). I am still not sure if it's real. Only time will tell. I only know that the very idea that someone out there maybe your "twin soul" can provide great peace and contentment for those who are already in a great & loving relationship, hope for those who waits and believes, and comfort for those in who are in a "less ideal" relationship. Hopefully, I found mine along with the book. My husband gave it to me.

I was ecstatic to finally find a book that fit my "twin soul" experience. I met my twin within the last year and many people do not understand how powerful this relationship is. Many times I thought we were losing our minds. I have read up on this subject but none of the books I have read to date have explained exactly what happens in the twin soul relationships. I salute Joudry and Pressman in doing such a fine job, and thank them from our hearts to theirs. This book came at the right moment for my twin and I. I feel blessed to have experienced such bliss in my twin soul relationship and look forward to sharing this book and my feelings to my friends.

Maybe some day everyone will understand and honor these twin soul relationships.

There needs to be a more updated approach to writing about the subject of this book. I did think the layout and explanation of the subject matter was put in a way most people could understand. I felt there was more that was intentionally not written and if you're going to tackle a subject of this degree why not go all out and say what you know or have experienced? I've gone through this over the past five months of my life and you can't understand unless you've experienced it. It defies explanation until I read this book. I give it 3 out of 5.I thought I was going crazy and knew I wasn't! My family and friends think I'm living in a coocoo's nest!!!!

I could not put this book down! It is very well-written and easy to understand, giving specifics on what your twin soul looks like. Absolutely fabulous!
