Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset, Trauma Recovery, and Intentional Living with Danielle Matthews

Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset, Trauma Recovery, and Intentional Living with Danielle Matthews

A direct, practical conversation on using Yoga Nidra and guided meditation to reset an overworked nervous system, shift out of chronic fight-or-flight, and rebuild identity after trauma. Danielle Matthews unpacks how accepting “what is,” inserting clear intentions in the Nidra state, and consistent practice can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and cultivate steady presence. We examine mental “tigers” created by news, social feeds, and deadlines, and how Inner Reset–style practices help you respond instead of react—without mystical fluff or medical claims.

About the guest

Danielle Matthews is a Yoga Nidra and yoga therapy practitioner who rebuilt her life after a traumatic brain injury. Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, intention-led practice, and practical tools for peace under pressure. She leads private and group sessions and an “Inner Reset” series.

Key takeaways:

  • Acceptance precedes change: reality (external event) + your internal response = your lived experience; shift the internal variable first.

  • Yoga Nidra is “meditation made easy”: lie down, follow guidance, and let breath/body-scan sequences guide brainwaves toward deep rest.

  • Immediate benefits many notice: better sleep, fewer escalations of migraines/anxiety, and more emotional space to choose responses.

  • Chronic stress today is driven by “mental tigers” (worry loops, news, social feeds). Without deliberate down-regulation, cortisol stays high and resilience drops.

  • Intention inside Nidra matters: plant a precise way-of-being (e.g., “I am at peace amidst chaos”) while beneath habitual thought; it resurfaces in daily stressors.

  • Consistency beats intensity: short, regular guided sessions build capacity faster than occasional long sits.

  • Use Nidra to complement—not replace—medical care; it’s a behavioral practice for regulation and awareness.

  • Skeptical or “not a meditator”? Start with a comfortable 15–20-minute guided Nidra lying down; no special posture or prior experience needed.
