The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

When I was younger I had many gifts. Like premitions, being able to know things that I should not know and that no one told me. Things like that. Over the years I have lost, (or perhaps they are just sleeping) those gifts.

My question is, is there any way to get them back? Or wake them them up if they are sleeping?

"Gifts" that may laying dorment within the mind, could possibly be activated once more with time and want. Time, as caused by future endevours when needed...Want, by the individuals need for such gifts to be present.

Meditation is always a way, reading certain esoteric books which teach how to gain certain gifts is a must for any individual of whom thinks they had them and want them back. Aura books, astral books, even learning clairvoyance books could do well with studies of this type of nature.

in my opinion, i feel once that a gift comes to you , it may or may not return, unless you are totally gifted and have this power all the time... i hear alot of younger children seem to have alot of exsperience`s and then it sometimes stops as they get older....

I don't know exactly but perhaps if you really wish hard enough and embed it in the farthest reaches of your mind that thats what you most want, then overtime they could return, I reckon, anythings possible if you believe, truly believe.

Meditate....sitting quietly without any distractions. Also, being out in nature, sitting there quietly. Journeling...sometimes creating art brings answers to you because you are involved in an artistic endeavor and it's using the other side of the brain, other than reason, which is what you are sorta wanting to get away from, yes?

Do tarot cards and keep doing them, stuff of that nature. Communing with those that have passed. If you keep doing these different things on a regular basis, that helps you to be more in touch.

As you get older your mind closes off so those parts of your mind that where open as a child are closed off so you can lose those gifts. You can wake them up but you have to find something that triggers them.

Listen to your inner guide to find ways to open up the channels to yourself again. We have blocks due to outside influences, and many times we are trying to tell ourselves what direction to go in but we aren't listening.

Sometimes it could be a conversation with someone totally different that could change the direction your going. A sudden urge to read a particular type of book. Those sort of unusual occurances.

You can also begin by learning to just simply sit still each day and mediate, listen to your thoughts! And see what they are trying to tell you.

We lose the gifts we had as a child, for we were not encouraged to continue them.

Meditation I agree is a wonderful tool, as well as cd tapes to listen to how to open one's gift again.

Sometimes we do lose the thought of listening to our inner guide.

There are many tools to awaken the 3rd chakra. It takes much work and dedication.

If you are not prepared to work on re-opening your gifts, then they will stay dormaint.

I think that they're still there. The 'gifts' are just hiding away. As others have said it's because of society's mindset on what's normal and what's not. We're not encouraged to keep on using 'gifts' we're born with and so we get into the habit of burying them deep within the mind and forgetting about them.

As others have offered meditation will help a lot in awakening it up. Another thing is start writing, if you start writing without really paying attention to what your thoughts are, most of the time answers show themselves when you reread it all. I've done that many times concerning many different things.

Stop worrying what society thinks about you and whatever you do. It establishes limits where you don't want to be places them on yourself. And just try to discover your inner child again.

I had a gift when I was a child & have seem to have lost in as I got older. I may have to try some of these ideas & see if it brings it back to me. Thanks for sharing.

i think you can get them back by being patient and meditating... but that's just my own opinion

you can never lose a gift. Just sometimes you ignore it, even if you don't know you are..
Try practicing,
jUst like with anything else,
Clear your mind,
then think about what you want to do.
then try and do it
od it over and over and over again until you get it right

I don't think you have lost your "gifts" maybe they're just lying dormant waiting to be used again. You may just need to spend more time trying to use them, and focusing on them to increase their strength or wake them up.

you can never lose your gifts that god has given you i think
there just sleeping and you need to look deep down in your iner self and don't worry about what other people think about it.
i to have gifts that i have locked away i just have to learn to unlock them again lol.in do time my dear when the right time shows up they to shall wake up.
there is the right time and reson for all things that happen in our lives we can not explian.

I think when your younger it's because you still have all the believe in magic and fairy tales and stuff that makes you open to things different...as you get older and are trained of right and wrong real and fantasy...things get lost along the way.

You may look into natural remedies for this. For example, Yarro, an herb, is said to produce more prophetic dreams when placed near you while sleeping. I.E. under your pillow

When we was growing up, most was told that these gifts was the devils work, and you would burn in hell, and all that hoop la. And most of us lost the gifts due to surpressing them. Or what i think happens in most cases. Not all mind ya lol. Medatation is one way to go. :)

I believe that people criticized you for having these gifts...but it's a little harsh to tell a child that he or she is going to burn in hell just becasue he or she happens to posess some sort of gift. I believe the reason they disappear or go inactive for a while is simply because you as a child suppress them. Maybe because your parents told you it was just your imagination and that you would grow out of it, or because other children mocked you, or maybe it was simply because you forgot about them. When I say forgot I mean, maybe once you started to grow older and mature you noticed that other people weren't experiencing the same things you were and you decided that it wasn't normal, and you started to experience life more and slowly just stopped using your gifts as much.

I Dont Think We Lose Them But Rather They Become Weaker And Become What Is Known As Deja Vu

the gifts we are given are never lost....just misplaced.
i think opening your mind would work.....meditation....

I think meditation is your best bet at re-awakening your gifts. Like opening yourself up again. When you're a child your mind is more open.

when i was little i had a dark gift, i would see the worse possible thing that could happen to a person. it tourmented me. i learnt to block it out. I have not been able to block it out completely and with my depression its a nasty gift. But to strengthen a gift you have laying dorment, meditation is a good bet, doing little excersizes to do with what your gift may have been and try chaneling the gift in your dreams.

I think if you've lost them they are just lost.

sometimes things aren't meant to be. if you lost your gifts there may be a reason you lost them, something you've overlooked till now.

I would have to agree with the above post ^^^ . Maybe at the time that you had the gift there was something missing, that caused you to lose the gift. If you have learnt the missing part I believe that it is possible to regain the gift that you had. One of the ways to help you find out would be to meditate on that particular gift to find out if you can regain it. I honestly don't believe that all gifts are lost for ever. I feel that they lay dormant until the gift is once again needed in ones life.

I also agree with the above.. Gifts are very complex at times, maybe it wasnt meant to be..

I also agree with LNA. Some times things are also lost for good reason but will also return as needed. As bad as we want something now may not be the time to use the power.

I think that if once you ahve them you really never lose them they just sleep.. Try reading up on everything or talking to someone that you know that can do those things that you use to do..

Sometimes when you lose something like that its hard to get back, sometimes it can be easy. Its all in the way you are and how long you have not used the said gift, I have not used some for a very long time, a few come back easy like cake, others I do not think I will get back ever.

There are many books that can help you awaken your abilities. You haven't lost them, just probably forgotten how to use them. When you are young you have less clutter in your mind and it is much easier.

I have the same problem darkX! I've been getting 'premonitions' for a while now, but I have a habit of second-guessing myself and doubting what i'm feeling. I think as you grow up, you tend to let the logical side of your brain take over the childlike accpeting side. I think that's how you can 'lose' a gift - although it's never really lost, you just have to retrain yourself...

In general, you are incharge of your brain. If you want something like that to come back, think about it heaps and try to 'reawaken' those gifts. Sometimes it isn't an easy mindframe to get into, but it can be done!

Unfortunately there is some truth to the statement "use it or lose it" when it comes to psychic ability...

The good thing is that our psychic ability never really goes away, it just goes to sleep, dormant, waiting for the day when you're ready to access it.

If you THINK that by not using these abilities they will go away, then they will! Over the years, you haven't questioned this notion and, as a result, your conscious and subconscious mind has taken this as a given.

One of the easiest and best ways to help begin recovering your natural psychic ability is to begin a practice of regular meditation - if you could take some classes at this time, it would be very helpful to you. And there are lots of very good books on meditation as well as on developing your abilities.... let this be your first psychic exercise - go to a local bookstore, check the spiritual, psychology, self-help and paranormal sections, then let your inner self guide you to the books that are right for you now... it's interesting how often just the right book catches your attention when you shop with intention and ask your guides to come along on the trip with you.

i think we all as young children have gifts and that when we grow older we lose these gifts i think we receive them when we have innocence and once we become less innocent we also become less in touch with these experiences.

I also believe we all have gifts, and that we need to use or lose them. I also believe that if we waste these gifts it is truly sad

yes i think it is sad when one does not use them but i think worse is when someone has a gift and uses it for reasons of their own personal gain.

yes there is away of getting them back. knowing that you have them and let them go dormaint is the first step. Meditate on the gift and try using it again. Keep trying till you subconcious realizes what you are doing.

Most of us do let are gifts slide as people tell us they are not real. But they are just not intune with there own inner self.

I am not really sure if you can get the gift back. If a gift does lie dormant within you and your want it bad enough or try you may be able to get it back .

If it's sleeping wake it up. LOst find it. Closed mind, open it. Start with a good book ,read learn, study,also meditate (let the mind relax,wander) . It will find you again.

Ouch thats a hard one.

From the time I was born I have been able to call on and comunicate with spirits demons ect. but my mother just told me to stay away from them because all they wanted to do was hurt me. So I was completely petrified as a child because these creatures would not stop following me and talking to me;and eventually I stoped seeing and hearing them as much. So now I still have a real powerfull conection and can feel a presence but I can no longer tapinto that and communicate or see them all. I know that what I'm about to say may be a dumb thing to do but I am working on getting that power back by calling on all the evil that has tormented me my whole life and bringing them back.

They now give me a sence of darkness and power because I am now able to controll it.

But my answer to your question is depending on what your power or gift is there is almost always a way to get it back.

I BELIEVE THEY WILL COME BACK TO YOU WHEN YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU DID THEM

I believe alot of people who had gifts when they were younger had more awareness of them because they were not yet told that it was unacceptable by society. As we get older we see more of what is ridiculed and so in order to fit in we hide or ignore what is inside of us.

So I believe those gifts are not lost...just lying dormant until you are able to open up your mind and acknowledge them.

There are books out there on how to get them back.. you can get them back..

Well when you are young you see things a lot different then you do when you grow up. Your whole mind set changes and maybe with that you loose a part of you or who you used to be. You might be able to get it back if you meditate and focus on your lost or "sleeping" gifts. It may work but then again it may not worth a shot.

i believe that once one loses a gift it can take quite some time to be able to get it back,with alot of focus and practice but it would not be the same.

i have noticed the simpler you r the more theses gifts stay with you

that is true i have heard and seen the same,which is not a bad thing really,i think the unlearned are just more in touch with nature and the supernatural if you will.

Very true Count. The older we get and the more that the world tries to show us that the gifts we have are not good or that they are wrong in anyway, most will lose them. But like I have seen stated in the forum posts here one can regain these gifts if they will open themselves to the gift again.

I agree with Count once again..I think life kinda, how do i put this slows the flow..

ya ist hard to get those gifts back that you loose

I'd honestly say that you just had an open mind when you were younger. A more phantasmal imagination. That is where your gifts dwelt, and where they still are.

It could be a trigger that could set them off again.
