New NDTV Imagine reality show which will try to find truth about your current fears, behavioral changes etc. by discovering truth about your past life. They will try to use some therapy and will take out the deepest thoughts from their inner mind. Will also re-create what they see ie. dramatization to make show interesting.

From 7th December, will be broadcasted Monday to Friday 9:30 PM.

The official NDTV website explains it as follows:
Do you have a fear of heights? Have you ever visited a place and felt that you've been there before? Do you have a recurring dream that haunts you?

Many things in our lives remain unexplained. We don’t know why we react in a certain way to certain situations or people or why we end up doing things which sometimes have no reason at all.

Many of our deep rooted fears or apprehensions have no basis in reality…Or so we think….They just exist, since the day we were born. But the answers lie deeper than we think…many times they are found in our past

A first of its kind show on Indian television, Raaz – Pichhle Janam Ka will help us find answers to a lot of questions that we think affect our present day being.

The show will be a unique journey with a mix of well known Film & TV celebrities, sports stars, politicians, who will discover the truth of their past lives and address their present day apprehensions, fears and anxieties.

Hosted by the enigmatic Ravi Kissan, Raaz – Pichhle Janam Ka is a blend of Reality (therapy sessions with a renowned therapist) and dramatic recreations of the images that flash in the minds of the celebrity.


So, reading around I came to know that it is about Hypnosis Therapy. Now what is Hypnosis ?

Taken from Wikipedia :
Hypnosis is a mental state (state theory) or set of attitudes (non-state theory) usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a series of preliminary instructions and suggestions.[1] Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, or may be self-administered ("self-suggestion" or "autosuggestion"). The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy".

The words 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' both derive from the term "neuro-hypnotism" (nervous sleep) coined by the Scottish physician and surgeon James Braid around 1841. Braid based his practice on that developed by Franz Anton Mesmer and his followers ("Mesmerism" or "animal magnetism"), but differed in his theory as to how the procedure worked.

Although a popular misconception is that hypnosis is a form of unconsciousness resembling sleep, contemporary research suggests that it is actually a wakeful state of focused attention[and heightened suggestibility,with diminished peripheral awareness. In the first book on the subject, Neurypnology (1843), Braid described "hypnotism" as a state of physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration ("abstraction").


Is it possible, lets watch the show and decide.
