How to manage anger as a women through Shrimath Yoga Nidra

If you want to know how to ‘show anger’ instead of ‘getting angry’ then read further…

In moments of trigger, the brain shifts into survival mode.

The amygdala (your threat detection system) takes over, and the prefrontal cortex (responsible for reasoning and regulation) temporarily steps back.

Yes, temporarily steps back…

This is also what Daniel Goleman described as an ‘amygdala hijack!’

That’s why you generally react before reflection, and speak before you see / hear.

And later… to your surprise, clarity returns, once reactions subside.

Indic Wisdom saw this long ago. The Shrimath Bhagavad Gita describes this inner collapse:

क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोहः सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।

स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥ 2.63

krodhād bhavati sammohaḥ sammohāt smṛti-vibhramaḥ

smṛti-bhraṁśād buddhi-nāśo buddhi-nāśāt praṇaśyati

From anger comes delusion. From delusion, loss of memory. From loss of memory, destruction of intellect, and when intellect is lost… one falls.

This is not poetic exaggeration, but precise inner science, but wait… here is the turning point.

The moment you pause instead of react, even for a few seconds:

- the nervous system begins to settle

- the prefrontal cortex re-engages

- awareness returns

And if this #pause is practiced repeatedly, it becomes neuroplastic change.

You are not ‘controlling anger’ anymore but you are outgrowing unconscious reaction.

Hope you understood what was promised in the 2nd para of this post.

By regular practice of Shrimath Yoga Nidra, you learn to observe the triggers that could provoke you.

As at the very start of the practice itself we have built-in a micro-process that helps you to gradually convert ‘reactions to responses.’

Because mastery is not in controlling the fire but in not becoming it!

The key shift: ‘Reaction to Response’
