How can I recover memories?
For some people, memories are the Holy Grail of Otherkinness, while for others, they're just a bane, a nuisance, or totally inappropriate.
The LostKin? Project is one place where the focus is on persons who don't have memories, and some things there focus on how to remember more.
<<<Violin Goddess>>> There are several ways to try and recapture your memories. One method is to take a memory you already have, a stil image of a person or place and try and expand the perimeter of the image you have in your mind. Look to the left or right, up or down from where you are currently looking. See if you can look into a mirror or pond at your face, or look at your hands for jewelry or your body for what you are wearing. Don't try and force anything or that might end up giving you images that are only from your imagination and not from memory.
Another method is to pay attention to nature. What is meant by this is to watch the world go by when you are drivng somewhere in the country or out of town. Pay attention to the places you go camping or hiking or fishing. Many times I have done this and I have recognized a place or characteristics of a place that triggered memories. Sometimes it's just fleeting as I pass by a place while driving. But alot of the time the more you can study a place that looks familiar, the more of the memory it will bring out.
Another method is to pay attention to media. Books, movies, music, and such can hide little tidbits or great amounts of information that can evoke memories. Sometimes it's a phrase in a song or an image it describes. Perhaps it's the whole song itself. A place or a person described in a book, or a place or person or situation described in a movie. All of these things can bring out familiarity. Often times I can read or see or listen to something and recognized how accurate they are portraying it and what is correct and what is misrepresented.
Yet another method can be found in talking with someone whom you have shared a past life with. Very often the people we meet in past lives we have known in other past lives and will meet again in this and other lives to come. We seem to share our lives with the same group of people. SO if you come across someone who you have known in the past, talk with them about what you both remember from that life. Very often what they remember will trigger your missing memories, and vice versa. <<<Violin Goddess>>>
