What if the real issue is that your body never got to finish the stress response? In this episode, we revisit one of the most powerful conversations we\u2019ve ever had on the podcast: why healing isn\u2019t about becoming calm all the time and how sacred rage, movement, and emotional expression may actually be the missing piece to your healing. Using the archetype of the Hindu goddess Kali, we explore the difference between suppression and regulation, why so many yogis get stuck in spiritual bypassing, and how somatic practices help the body finally complete the stress cycle. We explore: \ud83d\udd39 Why stress is not actually an emotion \ud83d\udd39 How Kali represents sacred rage, truth, and transformation \ud83d\udd39 The hidden cost of suppressing anger, grief, and overwhelm \ud83d\udd39 Why calm isn\u2019t always the goal of healing \ud83d\udd39 How somatic movement helps complete the stress cycle If you\u2019ve ever felt like you were \u201cbad at healing\u201d because you couldn\u2019t stay calm\u2026 this episode is for you. \ud83d\udcaeSign Up for the Free KALI YOGA CHALLENGE: Get my Kali Guidebook as an instant download and move through the challenge starting on June 19th \u2192  https:\/\/www.brettlarkin.com\/kali?utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=general&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; FREE Practice: Divine Feminine Yoga for Beginners | TANTRA AND SACRED SEXUALITY Relevant Blog: Kali Mudra: What It Is and How Do You Do It? &amp;nbsp; Relevant to Today\u2019s Episode: \ud83d\udcda Healing with Somatic Yoga Book&amp;nbsp; \ud83d\udc0d  Yoga for Self Mastery \ud83d\udc96  Uplifted Membership \ud83c\udf00  Somatic Yoga Life Coaching&amp;nbsp; \ud83d\udcab  Somatic Certification \ud83c\udfa7 Also Listen to: #324 \u2013  The Importance of Emotional Processing and Regulation: DENT Model Trauma #325 \u2013  Archetypes, Dreams &amp;amp; Why Nightmares are Good with Kari Hohne #345 \u2013  Somatic Shaking: What Is It?
