Twin flame separation stage
Twin flame relationships is not just your ordinary fairy tale love story. It's a powerful connection that's strong enough to trigger you towards going down your spiritual journey.
Meeting your twin flame will open your eyes to the true beauty reflected back at you, because they are you, same soul.
After the realization or euphoria of a shared deep love is experienced, most likely the twin flame separation phase kicks in.
There can be several factors which cause you both to separate:
- Physical separation by distance
- Age difference
- Race / class
- Finances
- Ego
- Unresolved trauma and issues about self
- It all comes down to the mind coming up with excuses to separate
The love you both share is very intense and pure. In order for you two to be together, the barriers that you may place in between must be broken down. You both have to let love conquer and rise above any limitations that you or they may place between the relationship.
The biggest reason why twin flames separate is because a relationship with the other starts to bring up unresolved ideas of self that needs to be healed.
Most twin flames who run from the connection can often experience fear, insecurity, low self esteem, not feeling good enough, or have a self sabotaging mindset.
We all have a past and certain conditioned beliefs about our self, that's how we develop our sense of self in this world AKA ego. For instance, if one has been treated very poorly in every single romantic relationship then they may start to think they deserve mistreatment or not be good enough to feel love.
We may go through our life journey thinking and identifying with negative qualities about ourselves until one day we start to unlearn things from our past and learn to accept and love ourselves unconditionally. This is usually when our twin flame shows up in our lives.
The twin flame appears to show you pure love because that's your own energy being reflected back at you. Once the initial love intensity phase simmers down you are left with your mind trying to rationalize the connection. For separation to occur, one or both of you let the mind win over the heart.
Why the twin flame separation stage is good
The initial stages of meeting your twin flame is very intense. Of course you both will feel total bliss and heaven on earth but it will be followed by resistance to this great love which comes from the ego mind.
Energetically and emotionally, it can be overwhelming and tiring to say the least.
Sometimes a break may be needed so that you both can balance your energies, work on yourselves mentally and spiritually, and be in a better place overall to maintain a twin flame relationship.
How to deal with rejection during twin flame separation
If your twin flame has run from the connection please do not take it personally. When you do, that's when you can start falling into deep sadness, depression, some may experience even physical illness.
If your twin has left whether that's blocking, ignoring, or ghosting you, keep it mind that there's an issue they're trying to work on.
Did they reject you? Don't take it to heart because in all actuality, they're rejecting themselves, their own soul. Maybe a relationship with you is triggering the shit out of them so they don't know what else to do but to reject.
If you both felt that deep incredible love and bond then it's already engrained and imprinted in their heart. It's a remembrance of what you both are, One soul - One Love. So, no matter what they are doing whether that's rejecting, running, hiding, etc. they are ultimately doing that to themselves.
During the twin flame separation phase, it's the ultimate time for healing of both twins. It's a time of reflection and realizing the true nature of the connection.
Throughout the separation, you must also work on yourself. Learn to connect back to who you really are. Realize your true potential in this life. If you have unresolved issues, learn to address those and step into your true self and power.
At the end of the day, rejection should never be taken personally because they are projecting all the bad they feel within themselves on to you.
How long does the twin flame separation last?
Generally, a twin flame separation can last months, years, or even decades.
There can be times when twin flames can open up communication again, leave each other for months or years, come back together, only to leave each other again.

This is why it's so important for both twins to work on themselves during separation to be the very best they can be without allowing ego to kick in and ruin their relationship with one another.
Twin flame separation pain
Being separated from your beloved can really be hard to bare.
Some may take it very personally and feel physical pain in their heart or stomach. Trying to numb out the pain with alcohol, drugs, and bad habits won't help during the twin flame separation period.
It's important to feel the pain, accept it, and let it go. Don't deny the pain because why are you rejecting something you feel? It's okay to have feelings. Feel them but let them go. Don't let these emotional pains consume you.
Always know that if you both felt the connection then there's no way they could ever forget it. No matter if you're currently not together at the moment, you both are already one soul! You are already complete and whole to begin with.
What's meant to be will always be.
Just stay positive, don't hold on to the past, learn from the past, appreciate the moment, and look forward towards the future.
Keep your dreams of true love alive because you don't know what goodies the Universe has in store for you. You could have a great love either with your twin flame or with someone completely different that'll rock your world.
Just have faith and trust. Feel your feelings but let it go.
