The twin flame who appears to be running is actually running from of his or her unconscious fears.
The connection between twin flames is like no other. Why wouldn't it be? The love and passion between twin flames is exciting, and it feels great to finally "be yourself" with a seemingly loving partner.
The intense energetic attraction between twin flames awakens them mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Naturally, the magnetism of this connection will cause one twin, who isn't prepared for it, to run from it. When this happens, the other twin is left feeling devastated, confused, and angry. Ultimately, this twin flame who feels left behind starts running from themselves by "chasing" their twin flame partner, and their partner mirrors this by remaining distant.
Not willing to let go of this amazing connection, the "chasing" twin flame constantly seeks attention from their running counterpart, and tries to convince them to come back.
If you are someone who continuously wonders when your twin flame will come back, you might be feeling guilty for pushing them away. You can even begin to doubt your twin flame connection and wonder if this person is really your twin flame and if everything is all in your head.
I can assure you that you've met your real twin flame if the signs are there. These signs include soul recognition, a feeling of being "home", mirroring each other, spiritual and/or Kundalini awakening, telepathic communications, and seeing signs and synchronicities from the Universe. Your running twin also experienced this powerful connection, so it wasn't just you. In fact, this is one of the reasons your twin became distant. Let's explore them.
THE CONNECTION FEELS TOO STRONG
The twins flame who seems withdrawn from their twin flame connection have never felt such a strong connection with anyone and are scared of it. They had no idea they could care so deeply about another person. Even while it might have appeared that their love for their spouse had disappeared, it actually hasn't gone anywhere and might have even gotten stronger.
The intense connection between twin flames forces twins flames to face their inner wounds from childhood and past life experiences that they've been running away.
As a result from these experiences, the "running" twin flame develops a feeling of unworthiness, a fear of being rejected, and a fear of being hurt. They're also afraid of hurting their twin flame counterpart, whom they have an unexplained, unconditional sense of love towards.
Instead of facing their fears, this twin flame may try to have a relationship with someone else who doesn't bring their shadows to the forefront.
Unfortunately for this person, their twin flame connection is inescapable, and eventually they return to the twin they've been avoiding, and try to make sense of it.
THIS TWIN FLAME IS NOT READY TO EXPERIENCE THEIR CONNECTION
As I mentioned earlier, there is a strong sense of unconditional love shared between twin flames. However, one twin flame would feel as though their partner has a perfect life, and deserves to be treated well. They may feel as though their own lifestyle interefers with this and will bring chaos to their's partner's life. Perhaps, this twin flame has an addiction with a substance, such as drugs and alcohol, or other things that include sex and material things, or they are in a commited relationship with someone else.
When the "running" twin flame is not yet aligned with their higher self and purpose, and they haven't let go of third party connections, whether it's their addiction or their karmic partner, they will continue to run from the connection.
THEY ARE PROTECTING THEIR TWIN FLAME COUNTERPART
In the eyes of the twin flame who seems distant, their partner seems pure, innocent, and complete with their life, even if this isn't the case. This twin flame sees their own lifestyle as being destructive.
This twin flame worries that any contact with their twin flame partner would ruin their partner's "perfect" life and send them into a downward spiral similar to their own.
THE CHASING FELT TOO STRONG
I hear it too often from many twin flames who are anxiously awaiting their physical reunion:
"I gave my twin my entire heart, and golden treatment."
"I am the best person for my twin. Why can't my twin understand this and come back?"
"I can't stop thinking about my twin flame. It's hard for me to focus on other areas of my life."
Giving a person your whole heart while disregarding your own is not real love. It's an obsession that has created an unhealthy attachment. Imagine being put on a pedestal by someone, and this person wants to hear from you and see you all the time. This energy from this is too much. This is how the Runner twin feels.
When the "chasing" twin flame redirects the intense love to themselves, lets go of unhealthy attachments, and releases expectations, this will create a more comfortable space for their twin flame counterpart to return.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE "RUNNING" TWIN FLAME TO FACE THEIR SHADOWS AND HEAL THEIR WOUNDS.
Until this happens, the running will continue. During this time, it's important for their own twin flame partner to stay focused on self-healing and creating space for their return. This means to let go of the pain and hurt that is felt by the physical separation, and have an understanding of why the running took place and had continued for as long as it did.
