The stages of a twin flame journey typically include yearning, a meeting and instant connection, a euphoric "honeymoon" phase, and then a challenging period of turmoil and separation where past wounds and insecurities are exposed. This often leads to a "runner/chaser" dynamic, followed by a period of surrender and self-discovery, and ultimately a reunion based on a higher state of unity, acceptance, and empathetic understanding.   What must be remembered here, is this is "usual" for new twin flames..skip to our page on past lives to learn more.

 

1. Yearning

  • A feeling that a part of you is missing, a sense of deep longing for someone you haven't met.
  • An inner feeling that you are about to meet a very significant person. 

2. Meeting

    • An instant, intense connection upon meeting your twin flame.
  • You may feel an immediate and powerful attraction. 

3. Honeymoon phase

  • An exhilarating, euphoric period of deep love and bliss, similar to a honeymoon in other relationships.
  • The relationship feels perfect and the connection seems unbreakable. 

4. Challenges and separation

  • The initial euphoria wears off and underlying flaws, fears, and insecurities surface, leading to conflict.
  • This often results in separation, with one person acting as the "runner" and the other the "chaser". 

5. Runner/Chaser dynamic

  • One twin flame pulls away (the runner), often overwhelmed by the intensity, while the other pursues (the chaser).
  • This is driven by unhealed wounds and fears coming to the surface. 

6. Surrender and self-discovery

  • The couple stops resisting the challenges and begins to surrender to the process.
  • They use the time apart for individual healing, self-exploration, and spiritual growth.
  • Old wounds and insecurities are openly addressed and worked through. 

7. Reunion and Oneness

  • The twin flames reunite, having done the inner work required.
  • They achieve a state of acceptance, empathy, and understanding, where past problems are manageable.
  • The relationship becomes a divine connection of unconditional love and spiritual growth.
