When we meet our twin, our deepest wounds come up to the surface to be healed. We are eager to resolve these issues so that we can come together more fully with our twin. There are dozens of articles and videos on the subject of healing your twin flame. Some twin flame teachers are adamant that you cannot heal your twin, that she must heal herself and your role is simply to stand by or perhaps even step back. Other teachers, focusing on the shared energy body between twins, advocate sending healing to the twin who is struggling with a wound or a trigger.

With these conflicting teachings, you may wonder if there’s any point in sending healing to your twin. Can you heal your twin? The answer is yes and no.

All healing, whether physical or emotional, comes from within. It is always the patient who is healing himself. Even when doctors administer medication, it’s not the doctors who are performing the healing. The patient’s body accepts the medication and, through a process that is not conscious, brings the body back into equilibrium. The doctor merely facilitates the process.

But wait, didn’t Jesus heal people? The Bible describes many miracles performed by Jesus. One of my favorite stories, however, concerns the woman who was healed from a long malady simply by touching Jesus’ cloak. I may be venturing into heresy here, but in this story, Jesus simply enabled the healing. It was the woman’s own faith that made her well. Jesus himself says, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.” Luke 8:48.

So if the patient is the one responsible for healing herself, what is your role? If a relative is in the hospital, you don’t say, “Well, you’d better hurry up and get out of there!” or “I’m not going to have anything to do with you until you’re feeling better!” or “What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you healed yet?” Instead, you go to visit your relative. Perhaps you bring flowers or reading material. You sit by your relative’s bedside and hold her hand along the way. You may even bring chicken soup. In this way, you are supporting and enabling the patient’s healing from within.

If all healing comes from within, your twin must lead the healing effort. That does not mean your only option is to stand idly by. Think of your twin as a sick friend or relative who needs your support. By all means, if it feels right, help your twin by sending or bringing “medicine” to speed the healing. Just as with conventional medicine, sometimes multiple doses may be required. And be sure that you are standing by your twin’s bedside and holding her hand. Even if you are in separation and totally out of contact, you can send her virtual moral support. Of course, any healing you perform on yourself will energetically help your twin, too.

Along this journey, it’s very important to follow your inner compass, so support your twin in the way that feels right for YOU.
