Some stories stop you mid-sentence. Dr. Rajesh Gupta was declared dead after a terrible car accident and sent for a post-mortem. Then someone noticed his fingers moving. In 150+ episodes of The Supreet Singh Show, I’ve rarely heard an opening like that.
A Second Chance at Life
Doctors told him he might never walk again. He did. Dr. Gupta credits his long recovery to meditation, self-hypnotherapy, and deep faith. He didn’t see it as a miracle that happened to him. He saw his mind as an active part of the healing.
Your Subconscious Is Running the Show
Your conscious mind thinks and decides. Your subconscious quietly stores your habits, fears, and beliefs, and it drives most of what you do every day. That’s why changing a habit through willpower alone feels so hard. Dr. Gupta also explained the four brainwave states: Beta (alert), Alpha (relaxed), Theta (deep, meditative), and Delta (deep sleep). Hypnotherapy, he says, works mainly in alpha and theta, when the mind is calm and open to change.
Can Hypnosis Control Your Mind?
No. You stay aware the whole time, and no one can make you act against your values. The “mind control” idea comes mostly from stage shows.
Past Lives and Present Patterns
Dr. Gupta also practises past life regression, which he uses to help people explore unexplained fears and repeating relationship patterns. Whether or not you believe in past lives, the core idea holds: patterns we can’t explain often have roots we haven’t examined. He also shared the story of a 13-year-old boy whose fear of the dark faded once its root cause was addressed.
Childhood Writes the Script
Many adult beliefs, like “I’m not good enough,” are quietly formed in childhood. Inner child healing, as Dr. Gupta describes it, is about revisiting those beliefs and choosing to rewrite them.
My Takeaway
So much of life runs on autopilot. Dr. Gupta’s story shows what’s possible when we treat the mind as a partner, not a passenger. A note from me: practices like hypnotherapy can support emotional wellbeing, but they don’t replace medical care. Always work with a qualified doctor for health concerns.
