Did you know that the “love” holiday started from a dark beginning? Though there are supposedly many Valentines in history, one story of St. Valentine is that of a third-century Roman priest who defied Emperor Claudius II after the ruler outlawed marriage for young men. St. Valentine would secretly perform marriages for young lovers, which ultimately led to his death.
Though this may be the dark truth that started the Valentine’s Day tradition, your Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be dark or triggering. In fact, this is a perfect time to celebrate Twin Flame love as many people come into Union with their Twins after a period of hidden love, deep healing and transformation. Whether you are with your Twin right now or not, here are some crucial tips for navigating the love holiday.
1. Remember your Twin Flame is your mirror. Heal what comes up
Your Twin Flame is the perfect mirror to your insides. So if they are doing something problematic or upsetting this Valentine’s Day, you can use the Mirror Exercise to heal whatever patterns are coming up between you. A very common upset is that your Twin is not speaking to you, for instance. It points to where are you not communicating with your true self? Where are you not feeling your full feelings maybe? Heal it through, and see what loving mirroring your Twin does in response.
2. Give yourself what you want your Twin Flame to give you
Do you want flowers and chocolates this Valentine’s Day or the deeper feelings of love and devotion? Do you feel like you aren’t getting these things from your Twin? Keep in mind that your Twin Flame can only give you what you give yourself. So treat yourself to the appreciation and sensuality you are craving. As you give these things to yourself at the core, you are deeply loving your Twin Flame, and they will respond in kind. Don’t believe me? Listen to a Divine Masculine share his gratitude for the love of his Twin Flame.
3. Don’t buy into comparisons
Your coworker has a dozen roses at their desk on Valentine’s Day, and your neighbor is off to Hawaii with their boo, while your Twin Flame seems nowhere in sight. This is a recipe for “compare and despair.” Just because another couple seems to have it all together doesn’t mean that yours doesn’t or can’t. Every union is unique, and every way of expressing love is tailor made to that couple’s particular path. Also, true love is a deep journey not a surface show, and it’s meant for YOU. Don’t give up!
4. Remember, the desires of your heart are there for a reason
It can seem like Valentine’s Day is just a torture fest when you are in separation. Don’t buy into the illusion that you are in separation forever. In deep truth, you and your Twin Flame are already one at the core. You’re in the process of releasing blocks to Love itself. As you heal and release this resistance, you and your Twin Flame will naturally come into each other’s lives. Also, if there is a desire in your heart, it’s not there randomly. It was planted by the Universe, and it is meant to come true.
5. Let go of expectations. Be open to receiving
When Valentine’s Day comes up, you may have a host of problematic expectations on how the day should look or what your Twin Flame should do. This only sets you up for disappointment and a feeling of lack. You may not even realize that you block receiving love out of feelings of unworthiness or guilt. Search your heart and heal what feels off about receiving love. You are worthy and enough. When you choose to receive the truest love and let go of how it will look, your Valentine’s Day will be one of peace and sweetness.
The truth of your Union and your Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be dark at all. You can choose how you love yourself whether you are in union with your Twin Flame or not. Follow these tips, and Valentine’s Day can be a full feeling of love and commitment all year long.
