Methods to know PAST LIVES

[Avilucis]

Avilucis :
I am going to start doing that (reliving the day). Haven't done it earlier. Had sleeping disorders. But now I sleep on time. So will start doing this.

I know for a fact, that the practice will at least keep the mind relaxed. Because reliving the day clarifies things and, every sort of mental disturbance I believe arises from lack of clarity/understanding of any situation or your heart.
Because that is exactly what meditation does for me. If my mind is wandering around, the first thing I do is to go through every single thing going on in my life and make decisions, then the mind calms down and I can meditate.

The Theory behind this technique is following-
(Yogis knowledge)- Every single day in life we experience all the emotions that we have experienced since we were born, we may not notice but it happens. So recalling gets your conscious mind to notice that and thus slowly the memories too will be recalled. I don't know how it goes even beyond the present life but possibly the same principle applies for that. Because I personally have many things going on in life that I can't find answers here of. I find some semblance of clues in my dreams and sometimes in my thoughts(there is something really bizarre that I can't say here, will take more space to express), so I am trying to see if knowing about past life is possible and can help.

You are right! it helps the mind relax
Today it is my 4th night doing the practice, it's been really valuable.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I haven't had anything major come up yet, apart from things I already know where they stem from.
Many years of trying to figure them out has eventually shown me that I simply need to let those ones go.

I see glimpses of other things ... I've been watching my OBE's for hints, and other things in daily life have come up which is interesting.
Being able to acknowledge something is the first step to dealing with it appropriately.
