Is this the dark night of the soul twin flames stage?

The synchronicities you’re describing remind me of my own dark night in 2022, when everything was falling apart and I kept seeing the same signs everywhere.

There’s this weird duality to it - the darkness feels overwhelming, but there’s something big waiting on the other side. I found myself listening to the same songs on repeat (reggae for some reason), and each wave did get a bit easier to handle over time.

That’s kundalini activation mixed with grief. Your chakras are opening and it creates physical sensations that don’t make sense. I had heart palpitations, temperature swings, pressure in my third eye. If you’re not already doing grounding work, start now. Walking barefoot outside, eating root vegetables, anything to keep you anchored while this energy moves through.

Yes, this is the dark night. The fact that you’re sensing it needs to happen means you’re already processing it differently than you were at the beginning.

When my twin went silent, I spent so much time trying to analyze every little sign and figure out what everything meant. Eventually, I just had to let go of all the labels and stop overthinking it. Started just going with whatever felt right in the moment.

The synchronicities you’re describing sound like DNOTS. When I hit mine after being ghosted, I kept trying to stay close to them. Eventually had to accept that this isolation phase means you have to rely on your own spiritual connection instead of reaching for your twin.

The weird energy and falling sensation - yeah, that’s the old self dissolving. It does feel like death. There’s a strange calm underneath though, probably because your soul knows this demolition has to happen before anything else can.

Could have written your post myself, I was exactly where you are now.

The synchs during separation can feel like confirmation you’re on the right path energetically. When my TF and I went through our first major separation, I genuinely thought the pain would destroy me. The destruction was real, but it was tearing down everything that wasn’t aligned with who I really was.

DNOTs is brutal. Someone mentioned this earlier, make sure you’re telling the difference between this and actual depression.

That feeling of ascending while falling - sometimes we descend into our shadows before anything else happens. You’re noticing the patterns, which means your awareness is shifting. Soul evolution feels uncomfortable and disorienting. Sometimes liberating, but mostly just hard.

Yeah, this sounds like the dark night of the soul stage. All those synchronicities while everything’s falling apart - that’s pretty typical for this phase. I went through something similar. The separation felt like death at first.

It was necessary, but that doesn’t make it any easier when you’re in it. The dark night is brutal and freeing at the same time. You’re grieving the connection but also losing a version of yourself that wasn’t working anyway. That calm feeling makes sense. Part of you knows what’s happening even while another part is panicking. The pain is intense, but living as someone you’re not is its own kind of suffering.

Once you get through this, you’ll probably understand why the separation happened when it did.

‘The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek’ - Campbell knew what he was talking about. You’re deep in it.

The ghosting feels like death because something is dying. The old version of you that needed someone else to feel whole. The pain isn’t really about losing them. It’s about being forced to let go of every illusion about what we need to be complete. That calm you’re starting to feel means you’re beginning to accept that nothing outside yourself, not even your twin flame, matters as much as you thought.

The hardest part about the dark night is that fighting it makes it worse. Resisting just drags it out longer. But once you surrender to it, once you accept that this ego death is happening whether you want it or not, that’s when you’re ready to move on. The humbling stops feeling like punishment. That weird energy you don’t know what to do with - channel it into something. Anything.

This stage strips away everything false until only truth remains. Whatever comes out the other side will be different from what went in.

I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone reaching union without this stage either. Even when the physical separation feels absolute, there’s this undeniable energetic presence that remains. During my own dark night, my twin was completely radio silent for months, but I could still feel their energy across the distance - sometimes it would hit me out of nowhere, this wave of their presence, especially during the hardest moments.

That energy became stronger during the dark night, not weaker. I think that’s part of what makes this phase so disorienting - you’re physically separated but energetically more intertwined than ever. It strips away the illusion that union is just about physical proximity.
