Ways to Develop Retrocognition
There are certain things you can do to increase this gifting such as:
Meditation
Meditating each day can help you to free your mind and body of distractions and can help you have peace in your mind. When you do this each day, you learn to connect more with the spirit world and you learn to receive what the spirits want to tell you or show you, which can be things from the past.
Dreaming
Another way that you can develop your gift is by paying attention to your dreams. Dreams do not have any kind of laws that they have to follow so when you have a dream, pay attention to it and write down the details of your dream.
Keep a journal or a dream journal and it can help you to decipher your dreams and special images or signs that you see in your dreams.
Divination
Using divination tools can help you to develop your psychic giftings. You can use tarot cards or runes to help you to practice increasing your psychic gifts.
Hypnosis
If you really want to reveal what is hidden inside of you, go to a trusted person and let them do hypnosis on you. Make sure that you are able to trust them. Then take the information that they give you and apply it to your life.
Look into what your life is trying to show you and let yourself see your past like you are watching it on a television show.
Kinds of Retrocognition
There are different kinds of retrocognition such as psychometry and déjà vu. These things are not called retrocognition, but they are very similar and help you see in the past.
Déjà vu
Almost everyone in the world has felt like they have Déjà vu. This happens when you feel that you have been at a place before, but you know that in this world you have never been.
Many believe that Déjà vu is part of a past life memory and in some cultures, people believe that when you experience déjà vu it happens because you are reincarnated into something or someone else and you are having memories of your last life.
Some children can even remember past addresses, even if they are very young or have never been to that specific house before.
Psychometry
Psychometry is where you can touch an object and know more about someone just because you are holding their stuff. This has happened in the past with many different people and people have been able to know where someone is living or to help find missing people, just by holding an object that belongs to them.
Conclusion
Using retrocognition can help you to find out more about the past of yourself or of others. You can understand what your life is holding for you and learn to know if you need to change anything in your future.
