The Uplifted Yoga Podcast Stop Trying to Be Calm: Kali & the Stress Cycle
What if your inner chaos is sacred?
When I first pictured a yogi, I imagined someone always calm, serene… maybe even a little untouchable. But the more I’ve learned—through somatics, spirituality, and lived experience—the more I believe that true healing means feeling everything. Even rage.
In this episode, we dive deep into:
🔹 Why stress isn’t an emotion (and how that changes everything)
🔹 How Kali represents sacred rage, transformation, and nervous system completion
🔹 The trap of spiritual bypassing and the myth of “staying calm”
🔹 How to embrace the full spectrum of your emotions—and finally close the stress cycle
If you’ve ever felt like you were “failing” at healing because you weren’t calm enough… this one’s for you.
