Twin Flame Separation:The dance between the conscious and subconscious energies of the counterparts

After the phase of attracting and repelling,you will sense a growing distance between the two counterparts and you will feel that you may seem to have lost each other (either physically or energetically).This is the the exact phase my counterpart and me are currently undergoing. It has been more than 5 years since we have not met each other in the physical plane and have had a full-fledged conversation. So why the separation? Aren't twin flames working towards being in union? It is utmost necessary to have the separation period,no matter how long it lasts,years or decades altogether,because there needs to be a soul balance and a "centre-point" that needs to be attained to balance each others polarities.Twin flames are batshit crazy.The polarities create the magnetic pull but there has to be an energetic balance.

In order to have the energetic balance,the separation period is nothing but an opportunity to sense and see through the divine counterpart. All one needs to do,is to be true to oneself. During the no-contact phase,the twin souls need to make sure they are working to towards self love which comes from a place of self-respect and creating boundaries. At no point,neither of the counterparts must overextend themselves to make things work,it should all happen in an instinctive manner and in due course in time. However,there is a flipside to this;as easy as it may sound,there are days that hit you like a freight train of overthinking and uneasy emotions but, I feel an attained sense of grounding in comparison to what I was in the beginning of this connection.

Slowly,I have started accepting things which are beyond my control. My divine counter,being a compulsive runner has projected his selfishness and self-centeredness onto to me and this connection since the past 5+years. I have gone through an extreme level of anxiety,being abandoned by the runner in a merciless fashion. Nonetheless,overtime,I have moved towards acceptance of "It is what it is" and now working towards redirecting,healing and mitigating my energies to ground myself. I have transformed into being more empathetic and let gone of materialism. Oh,not to forget,the enormous amount of shadow work undertaken by me. All the repressed and hidden aspects of my personality:rage,guilt,shame,poor self-esteem have forcefully been rubbed into my face by the Universe to work upon.

Needless to say,the separation period is a blessing in disguise,as most of us twin flames want to skip this part of healing and jump into union with our divine coutnerpart.This is downright a recipe for disaster.The first stage of shadow work is to become highly compassionate towards oneself and view oneself with embracing the person who we are and how we are. By reaching a level of welcoming our real self home i.e. balance in the mind,body and spirit, we can empower ourselves to live with greater consciousness.
