Yoga and Meditation

The term precognition refers to the ability to gain knowledge about events that are going to happen in the future. The word has its roots in the two words of ‘prior to’ and ‘cognito which means acquiring knowledge prior to its occurrence. It is one of the most commonly found psychic powers and also the most popular.

Tracing the patterns of precognitive occurrences, most of the times it is seen to happen a day or two prior to the actual incident, but there has been many instances where precognition has taken place years before. Moreover, almost all the times it happens in relation to something negative and emotionally shocking like that of knowing about someone dying, a loved one being ill or some natural disaster.

Since time immemorial precognition has existed across religion and cultures. Starting from ancient spiritual preachers being able to predict future incidents, oriental monks performing dream yoga to astrologers forecasting future life events of a person, so on and so forth. Man has always been interested in knowing what future has in store for him and that is the sole reason for the popularity of precognition.

Precognition as a concept is frequently confused with the concepts of premonition and prophecy. It must be noted that prophecy is a kind of precognition, but that all precognitions are not necessarily prophecies. Moreover, premonition refers to having a feeling or sensing that something is going to happen as against precognition which is absolute knowledge about the same.

If you have experienced knowing about something or having a sudden vision or a dream which went on to happen in reality or even smaller things like being able to state who is going to call, or the outcome of a match and you’ve secretly pondered whether you have the psychic power of precognition or not, you can test yourself to be sure once and for all. One of the oldest tests of precognition is that of the Zener Cards which you can also avail online.

Developed by Carl Zener and Dr. Rhine, this test consist of a set of cards each having a symbol on it. The process involves removing a card from the deck with you attempting to predict its symbol. The process continues till the time the deck gets depleted and thereafter your scores are given. Based on the algorithms of Dr. Rhine, the scores reflect whether you have ‘no ability’ ’some ability’ ’significant ability’ or ‘very significant ability’ in precognition.

In case you are aware of your power of precognition and want to work on it to improve, then the best strategy is to start with small day to day self practices. Thus, you may roll a dice and predict its outcome, predict the caller when the telephone rings, predict the outcome of a match, debate or a movie, so on and so forth.

If you seriously want to take you precognition abilities further to a stage where you can control and use it, techniques of meditation or attaining a deep trance is the best way to go. Meditation helps a person being aware of his/her inner self and having more control on the sub conscious mind. A state of deep trance or a dazed condition if attained through meditation helps in precognition since during that time all sensory perceptions cease and the mind becomes wakeful and completely focus in one direction helping you to gain the knowledge or visualize the future incident.

It can be concluded by saying that precognition is an ability that only a few gifted people are born with. It must never be considered a curse and must be developed and used for the betterment of others.
