Retrocausality has been a pretty popular topic in these sorts of communities for a long time. There’s even the case of Tsuruhiko Kiuchi, a Japanese astronomer (comet hunter) who had several near death experiences in which he claimed to travel in time, once to the past to influence the mind of a worker to carve his first name into one of the pillars of the temple.
As you can imagine, whether he was successful or not is debated / questionable. He’s not the only one to have tried this, but definitely one of the more famous to try it during an NDE.
Also, back when I was into ceremonial magick, this use of retrocausality was a popular idea in certain circles, especially a certain thelemic group (H&J - IYKYK), where they would send energy to themselves in the past and receive from the future. Even beyond this, the idea that time does not exist or is not an impediment to those in the spiritual realms has been well known for millennia and impacts the actions of people who work within these realms 
And yes, one of the Indian gurus I’ve followed the work of before has spoken of methods to accomplish the same. (But shhh, don’t tell anyone, lol)
