Summary

The article discusses the unique scenario where both individuals in a twin flame relationship become "runners," exploring the reasons behind this phenomenon and its implications for their spiritual journey.

Abstract

The concept of twin flames typically involves one partner chasing the other, but the article presents a situation where both partners are running from the intense connection. This dual running is seen as a phase of deep emotional cleansing, where both parties confront and attempt to escape from their individual traumas and ego-driven resistance to unconditional love. The author shares personal experiences of being both a chaser and a runner, highlighting the challenges of overcoming blockages and the struggle to accept and understand the twin flame connection. The process is described as painful yet necessary for growth, with the ultimate goal of transcending the ego to reach a place of love and healing.

What if the Twin Flames Are Both Runners?

Is it possible for both twin flames to run and what does that mean?

I recently discovered something new during my journaling practice. I didn’t think this could happen before, but now I’m thinking about this information that managed to reach my heart and then my logic. Is it possible for both twin flames to run at the same time? And if so, what happens?

According to the current twin flame dynamics, you will see a fixed amount of information from most sources. The early awakened twin starts chasing the unawakened twin's flame because they feel the flame. The unawakened twin flame starts running because it is frightened by the intensity of love inside and the strange experiences it has had. And he may feel inadequate, overwhelmed, and incomplete. This knowledge is fixed by the experience of the twin flame chasers. Those on the chasing side on the twin flame journey have repeatedly said that they go after their twin flames with deep sadness they feel in their hearts.

If both twin flames are running, what is this trying to explain?

I was on the chasing side for a long time on my twin flame journey. I was trying to explain to my twin flame that I had no other purpose than to love him, and I was trying to “wake him up” by constantly giving suggestions. Even though I knew that the messages I wrote to him really had an impact on his life, the problem here was that I didn’t want to stop texting. Because I was holding on to the only source of communication between us. I was afraid that if he turned off his messages, I would lose him completely. I was ignorant and inexperienced. I started growing on the twin flame journey as my twin flame turned off his messages.

I’ve been a runner for about 4 months now. But I don’t think my twin flame is a chaser. Despite his awakening, he is neither running nor chasing. He just stood and observed. It was last month that he started running again. Traveling to where he lived triggered some traumas and blockages both in me and in him.

It may seem like a final stage of cleansing, with both twin flames starting to run. There are some emotional blockages here, both feminine and masculine, that they can no longer ignore. Starting to run is an indication that these emotional blockages are moving from the deep to the surface. Because the souls of both twins felt it, but since their ego selves are still clinging, they are trying to run away from this new healing move.

A few months after I started running, I started to notice my blockages in believing in my twin flame connection. I initially resisted these blockades as well, as faith was my biggest problem. Because why did I have to admit something I did wrong? It was a big problem for me to think that I was the only one who did wrong on the twin flame journey.

The masculine twin flame is a great trigger for the feminine twin. My twin flame reflects all my egoic behavior back to me. So I can see my childish pride, my prejudiced approach to everything, and my being too touchy. I still fail to love unconditionally.

To be a runner in a twin flame is not to consciously know what you are running from

We have certain traumas that prevent us from uniting with our twin flame. These traumas cause us to develop distorted and limiting thoughts over time. We think these thoughts are our own. They have been with us for so long that they have become part of our character. In the twin flame journey, we transform our traumas. We watch how our traumas and shadow aspects make us act like puppets by reflecting on each other. And this is unacceptably painful.

I realized that I was running because I failed to dive into love. I had a fear of deep love that I didn’t know the meaning of. I think I started running because I started to feel unconditional love more deeply after my travel. All obstacles seemed to be gone. I couldn’t find any bad thoughts to hold onto. And my ego, not used to feeling love, pulled me back in fear.

Isn’t it another irony that we are all afraid of love even though its essence is love? There are several reasons why both twin flames might run. For this, you should think about the main subject that you constantly encounter on your journey. I have a great resistance to faith and love. I don’t believe I am loved, or rather I cling too much to physical evidence that my twin flame is really my twin flame. This is an area where I need to develop my faith in the universe.

The time period when both twin flames are running may indicate a moment of enlightenment but the existence of the twins on the material plane is having a hard time accepting it. Awakening has already occurred, but re-running has begun, as the ego is still involved in acceptance.

This is a time when traumas are waiting to come out at their most superficial level. Twin flames can feel like clouds swelling before the rain. It is dark, our thoughts are negative, and there is distress within us. This is a period in which the body prepares for traumas to come out.

Every time I break a new blockage about myself, I feel unappetizing and a little grumpy before that. My higher self offers me a meditation to make this dissolving work more comfortable, but I don’t listen to it. I torture myself by reading articles or thinking about all the possibilities on the same topic for hours. Because when we are in a bad mood, we do not wait for this mood to pass silently, but if we go on it, we will attract even worse thoughts. Creating brief moments to meditate and return to ourselves is essential in such situations.

As a result, I was still running until a few days ago. I fled from love and tried to distance myself from my twin flame’s physical presence in the world as well. But still, everything was everywhere. The signs are not over and I am exhausted. So right now I’m trying to walk towards my heart, giving up doing what my ego wants.

It’s not easy to get out of my ego because the ground is covered with thorns and when I try to push forward, I step back on my old fears and thoughts and back off. But I have to step on all of them and take this pain for a while and take the bright path to my heart.

To run on a twin flame journey is to think that love is a thorny field. But actually, throughout our twin flame journey, we deal with weeding out the thorns that the ego has pierced into us throughout our lives. Our heart is the only area that makes us feel peaceful. I’m not running right now and I accept whatever hurts me. I hope this is an action that puts my twin flame at ease.
