Understanding the twin flame runner

A twin flame runner often feels a variety of emotions, including fear, confusion, guilt, and resistance to the intense connection they share with their twin flame. Fear plays a major part in the equation, causing twin flame runners to avoid connection with their sacred counterpart. They also feel a deep longing and yearning for their twin flame, even while they are running away from the relationship. This can create inner emotional turmoil as they struggle to reconcile their feelings with their actions. 

Twin flame runners often experience spiritual and existential crises as they come to terms with the powerful, unique connection they share with their twin flame. They question their life purpose, life status quo, their present relationships and in many cases the meaning of their existence. They may also feel a sense of destiny and a pull towards their twin flame, even as they struggle to accept the intensity of their connection.

In some cases, twin flame runners may use coping mechanisms such as distractions, denial, and avoidance to deal with their feelings. They may try to suppress their emotions, dismiss or engage in self-destructive behavior - that can range from ignoring their twin flame to substance abuse - as a way of avoiding the pain of separation from their twin flame, ending up hurting their counterpart. But above all, themselves. 

It's important to note that the term "runner" is used to describe one twin of the pair who feels the intense connection and runs away from it, while the other twin called the "chaser" feels the intense connection and invests actively. But this is not always the case, both twin flames can be runners, or both can be chasers. In different stages of their relationship.

It's important to note that the twin flame journey is a personal one and the experience of twin flames may vary. They may not always experience the same emotions, or have the same journey. Twin flame journey is also a spiritual one and often twin flames will experience spiritual awakening and/or ascension symptoms during their journey. These symptoms can be difficult to deal with and can cause the twin flame runner to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate their own journey.

Twin flame runners - as well as chasers -  experience spiritual and psychic phenomena such as telepathy and synchronicities. These experiences can be both exciting and confusing, and can add to the already intense emotions that twin flames are dealing with.

The twin flame journey is not always smooth and in the periods of separation they experience intense emotional turmoil, and so many other challenges. However, it's important to remember that the journey is ultimately about growth, healing, spiritual evolution and unconditional love. 

Even though the twin flame journey can be difficult and painful during separation, it's a journey of self discovery, self acceptance, acceptance of the other, overcoming,  transformation and higher love.
