For all the time we spend talking about the separation phase (and trust me, we do talk about it), we often don’t focus on what it actually takes to move things forward.
While social media showcases reunion stories with picture-perfect endings, those experiencing extended separation live a different truth. One rarely discussed openly.
Today, we’re sharing authentic insights from someone navigating an extended separation journey. Their experience offers a genuine glimpse into what actually happens when twin flames remain apart not for months but for years or even decades.
If you’re currently separated from your twin, you might find comfort in knowing others walk a similar path.
“I felt like I was in a full-fledged 5D relationship… then it vanished”
Long-term separation often creates an emotional landscape filled with dramatic shifts between connection and painful distance:
“I have been in separation for 17 years now but the signs and synchs came at me full force in 2023. It was only a couple years ago that I ‘woke up’ to the Twin Flame journey. I experienced non stop telepathy for a couple months in 2023 and it felt like I was in a full fledged 5D relationship… then it vanished.”
I’m sure many of us can understand this. That moment where everything finally clicks and feels… right.
Only to wake up one morning and see it vanish for no discernable reason. Awakening to your connection doesn’t automatically resolve the separation. Intense spiritual communication can appear and disappear, leaving you questioning everything.
“Some days it feels like the coolest thing ever and other days it feels like a cruel joke”
Long separation’s emotional ups and downs create a unique challenge. Even for twin flames who already face a task, few will ever understand.
“On one hand, I am so happy that he is my Twin Flame, and not just some random dude that lost interest in me. On the other, I’m sad that he doesn’t show interest in reconnecting with me on a 3D level. I feel differently about this on a day to day basis. Some days it feels like the coolest thing ever and other days it feels like a cruel joke.”
This emotional swing between gratitude for the spiritual bond and frustration with physical separation is one of the hardest parts of separation. It’s like getting spiritual whiplash.
The intense 5D connection through dreams, synchronicities, and telepathy often stands in stark contrast with the 3D reality of being apart.
Enough to drive even the strongest of us to question everything.
“I felt held at arms length”
It’s always the hardest when one of you awakens to the journey before the other. Like feeling left out in the cold and trying to understand why they don’t see the obvious.
“The synchronicities are astonishing and never cease to amaze me but 3D is another story. I reached out a couple times and while he was very happy to hear from me I felt held at arms length. There has never been any movement on his end to move towards me and I believe he is not aware of the connection the way I am.”
This imbalance creates unique struggles.
Not just for the chaser, though. The runner also faces their own set of struggles (and sometimes, if we understand that, we can help them through it faster).
While one twin experiences profound spiritual awakenings and sees signs everywhere, the other may view the relationship as a “normal” relationship. They’ll try to frame things in a way that makes sense to this understanding, and that’s exactly what causes problems for the runner.
This disconnect often extends separation periods as the awakened twin works through personal healing while the unawakened twin continues life seemingly unaffected.
So… What Do You Do?
If you’re separated from your twin flame for a long time, what does that actually mean for your journey? Most importantly, what do you do now?
The first (and perhaps annoyingly obvious answer) is to understand what the journey really entails. Not the social media-curated version of twin flames, but the real deal. A community like this can help answer your questions.
The first thing to remember is an extended separation doesn’t mean you won’t (or can’t) reach union.
The journey teaches that time operates differently in spiritual connections than “normal” relationships. Whether separated for one year or twenty, the journey continues working through you both, shaping your growth and evolution.
There’s always a reason for situations like this. There’s something still to learn or do before you’re ready for that next stage together.
For those in extended separation, remember that the duration doesn’t reflect your connection’s validity or strength. Even after 17 years, the connection remains, evolving and shifting in ways that continue to serve both twins’ highest good.
It’s not a race.
But it also doesn’t have to be a marathon.
I know (I think all of us do) how rough separation can be. It feels like you’re wasting time apart but it’s how we use that drive that matters.
