The concept of a twin flame runner often seems paradoxical to people when they first learn about it.
Two souls, intertwined and eternally connected through destiny and their spiritual journeys, and usually one of them wants nothing to do with the other?
That can’t be all that common, can it?
Well, it is. Very common. In fact, it is so common that it is regarded as being an essential stage of the twin flame relationship.
We’re going to dig into the concept of the twin soul runner and really get to the core of what is happening when one twin flame runs from the relationship.
Along the way, we’ll offer you the tools you need to make the best of a complicated process.
We begin with the moment that a twin flame becomes a runner:
What Does Soul Shock Feel Like
Soul shock. Think heartbreak, but a thousand times deeper.
It feels like your soul has been sucked out of your body, leaving behind only a husk of a person.
Like every moment brings with it a lifetime of agony and your will to live is beginning to get overwhelmed.
When your twin flame becomes a twin flame runner, you suffer from soul shock – and it is devastating.
But you are not the only one. Most people think that only the chaser suffers from soul shock, but in truth, it is the runner who often suffers from it the most.
It is soul shock that drives them to become runners in the first place.
Luckily, it is also often what brings about their return.

Soul Shock Symptoms
The first symptom of soul shock presents as depression. You may find that you are simply going through the motions on a day to day basis.
Sure, you go to work, you fulfil your responsibilities, you do what needs to be done – but none of it is done with zest or drive, none of it brings you any joy or sense of achievement.
You find it hard to sleep, leading to a complete lack of energy and drive during the day. Your twin flame haunts your dreams.
It’s an intense experience, but often only in hindsight.
While you’re in it, it feels slow and unending. You are fully prepared for the rest of your life to be what it becomes during soul shock – a daily grind devoid of love.

Runner Feelings
Now, soul shock presents slightly different in the runner and chaser.
For the chaser, this is a highly emotional time. Anger and confusion reign as you see your twin flame burn your shared destiny and spiritual journey, seemingly without a thought your way.
The chaser experiences these emotions and expresses them, often battling just to get through the morning without a breakdown.
But for the runner, the whole experience is a bit different.
Fear and anxiety rule them. The twin flame experience has scared them and made them run for the hills, but they are experiencing soul shock too.
Unfortunately, they rarely recognise that and attribute their symptoms to something else.
But they too are feeling empty inside, resigned to an empty life of work and sleep, work and sleep, work and sleep…
This is all because the runner does not have the tools that the chaser has.
They are bereft of their spiritual toolbox, and so address their problems as physical beings.
Spiritual problems, however, require spiritual solutions.
Twin Flame Runner Awakening
At some point, during the drudging haze of soul shock, the twin flame runner is hit with an illuminating pattern of thoughts.
Suddenly, the truth of their own being is lit up for them to see. And they see themselves for what they are – a twin flame runner.
Maybe not in those words. But the epiphany that will occur to them is one that allows them to see their flaws and their own mistakes.
They start to realise that there is more to life than what they have experienced so far, and they come to recognise that it was facing that truth that scared them away.
And they’ll start to reflect on what caused them to do that.
Often it is as a result of old wounds, and past trauma of the soul.
This manifests in this life as all the traumatic things that happen to people, usually during childhood, that sticks with them for their entire lives.
But these are often manifestations of much older wounds, soul anxiety from the traumas of many lives lived.
The runner may not know about what is going on with their soul, but they feel this intuitively.
And, in almost every case, a spectacular awakening takes place.
Runner Return
They return. And what’s more, it is the soul shock that does it.
Up until the awakening, the runner had seen the twin flame relationship as the root of their problems.
They viewed the chaser as a source of misery and bad feelings, the cause of their pain.
Awakening allowed them a glimpse of what lies beyond.
That kind of event changes a person’s perspective dramatically.
Finally, they recognise that they have been bottling up their feelings.
Denying them and denying in what they felt in their gut and their heart were true – but which their fear and…
