Soul Mates and Twin Flames
Explicit content warning
09/26/17 • 26 min
When you think about finding your soul mate, always ask yourself this question: "Who do you want to be when you meet the love of your life?" This approach to passion takes care of many of your needs, beyond just the sexual and romantic. This is the compass of self love that will set you on a course for a great life, no matter who you are and whether you ever choose to partner permanently.

Hey, thanks for listening to the Shift Your Spirits podcast.
I’m your host Slade Roberson.
For eleven years, I’ve been a professional intuitive and the author of the blog Shift Your Spirits, where I try to write about spirituality with fewer hearts and flowers than most New Age blather.
I also mentor emerging intuitives, psychics, and healers in a program called Automatic Intuition.
One of my Patreon supporters requested an episode with my views about soul mates and twin flames.
I asked her "Are you sure you want to hear what I really believe about these topics? Because I may not say the things most people want to hear... I have a pretty no-bullshit opinion when it comes to this subject.”
She said that’s what she was hoping for and to bring it on.
Listeners who support the show on Patreon can access bonus Q&A episodes, where you guys send in questions, I record answers to them, and they go out to patrons of the show exclusively.
But since I feel like this topic is a popular one, I’m going to put it out to the whole podcast audience, instead of doing it as an exclusive this time.
There is also a level of support that includes a free download of the guided meditation “Messages from your Spirit Guides."
So, if you want to find out how you can become a patron, and access the extra audio content, please go to patreon.com/shiftyourspirits
Bear with me.
This could be a random, non-linear conversation. I pulled up a lot of the material I’ve written about soul mates over the past twelve years. I’ve skimmed over it. It’s safe to say, my observations have not changed much. My opinions have deepened.
But I’m asking you to bear with me as I talk about it, because it could move in circles. Spirals, even.
My intention is that if I free-flow through this subject, as if I’m collecting little bits of wisdom and pointing them out to you, one or more of them will resonate with you and whatever questions you may have about your own life in terms of partnerships, karmic connections, soul mates.
There are a lot of messages for a lot of different people waiting to come through me.
So, I’m just going to dive in and swim around, and see what I can bring to the surface, okay?
If you’re still seeking, I will say this:
The more you grow into the person you’re truly meant to be, and you know yourself and have greater access to your wisdom... Unfortunately, it seems cruel, but your pool of potential mates gets smaller, not larger.
When you were in your teens, every potential person you caught in your net was a Young Adult trilogy just waiting to be written.
When you’re older and wiser, you start throwing back all the little fish without wasting much time and energy. You throw back some big fish, too.
And you’re okay with it.
Because you know yourself and what you truly require out of a partner.
Some of the big red flags I’ve noted for those who are seeking:
If you’re trying to find a partner, that’s problematic.
If you think you’ve found them, but you're working to make them love you. That’s a huge red flag.
If you’re calling more than one friend and/or psychic to help you decide if this one is the One, chances are ... it isn’t.
No bellows required, here. You should not find yourself over there fanning the flames, trying to keep the spark going... That’s not how this should work.
Listen, the beginning should be fairly easy, and fun, and lot of mutual chemistry and excitement... If you’re working just to get in the relationship in the early stages.
You’re in danger, girl.
That’s some of the What Not to Do. Here’s a couple of things you definitely should do:
Say yes to things. People, events, invitations. Things that don’t, on the face of it, have anything to do with dating. Meeting potential partners through other friends is healthy. It makes sense for a lot of reasons.
And always ask yourself this — number one question:
Who do you want to be when you meet the love of your life?

I was not raised in religion. My interest in spirituality is entirely self-motivated. When I was seven years old, I asked to attend a Vacation Bible School, so I could ask questions like "Is Mother Nature God's wife?"

Hey, thanks for listening to the Shift Your Spirits podcast.
I’m your host Slade Roberson.

Today’s introduction is probably not going to be as lengthy as the last one — I’m recording these episodes close together, so I’m not sure how much more original insightful life experience has occurred in my world in such a short span of time. We’re on the backside of Hurricane Irma, as I record this, in a lovely cold drizzling rain. We lost power here only briefly from about 10 pm at night to 7 o’clock this morning. I mean, if you’re going to lose power, that was an ideal window. I can’t really complain about it at all, but I am stunned to experience the winds we had last night, this deep inland, in the mountains of Tennessee.
I really truly hate it for all of you who are still without power across the Southeast. Or suffering from lack of the basics. I cannot even imagine. I am truly grateful for my luck and privilege. If there is anyone in our community in need with like a GoFund Me page or another organization they’d prefer we support, please contact me if you can and I will lend whatever I can in terms of sharing your needs with my platform and audience, helping to expand the reach of your requests and messages.
I hope everyone and their pets came through this okay. I have absolutely no wacky supernatural meanings or godly messages to attach to these storms. Because I’m not Kirk Cameron.
But I do have an oracle message for you at the end of the show. So stay tuned after the final links and credits.
I do have one new tool I started using in the last few days. My friend Matt posted this on Facebook:
"My serenity is inversely proportional to my expectations. The higher my expectations of other people are, the lower is my serenity. I can watch my serenity level rise when I discard my expectations.”
He has a personal note: try also replacing "expectations" with “attachment.”
I looked it up to find the source, and it is actually from the Alcoholics Anonymous handbook. Page 452. That’s cool. I’m not in AA but I love a good re-framing technique.
Remember my not-complaining for a month back in the spring? I continue to fail at this, pretty miserably. I have to admit it. It’s really hard not to complain. People are frustrating and disappointing. They are.
So, I like this idea that lowering my expectations, increases my sense of peace. When I notice my internal chatter critiquing something (especially someone) I just say “Lowering my expectations. No expectations. Just doing my thing. Just moving through here.”
And it’s pretty powerful in the short term. It’s an almost immediate interruption of negative internal dialogue.
You can refer back to the show notes and try it out. I always like to tweak these mantras and make them personal, my own words, in my own voice.
Since I am recording again back to back, I don’t have a lot of new patrons to call out.
But I see Wendy Bassett did just slip in with a pledge. Thanks Wendy!
If you started supporting the show this week, between the last few episodes, I have not forgotten you. I will thank you personally next time. It’s a time delay issue between recording and publishing.
I appreciate all of you who have pledged your support and I’m really excited to see the new names each week. It demonstrates that you’re enjoying the show and want it to continue. That’s very encouraging to me, so thank you.
You can support my time in producing this show by pledging on Patreon.
