Sigh. It is exactly like that for me too. When I see my counterpart in person, it is much, much worse. Or rather immediately upon leaving. Our souls seem to mix together whenever in proximity. Eye contact. That's the way it happens I think. Anyway, It's like trying to pull caramel apart when it's time to go home. And that feeling lingers with me. Not so much painful as an exhaustingly uncomfortable process of separating again.

I view those tugging/pulling sensations as a hint or a calling from my partner. When I feel it, if I am able, I go into meditation right away. In my breathing, I let go of the idea that I am limited by my body. I let my soul (like caramel) seep out from the place I feel the tugging. The soul knows what it wants and as soon as I am able to "open the gate" and free it from the confines of my body, we find each other right away. We have connected through different chakras in this way several times. Surrendering to the tugging, for me, opens a channel through which we can connect in absentia and fill each other with light energy.
