Allowing
ourselves to be human | Looking for the effortlessness | Building
Momentum | & The Forced Self Reflection
I
feel as though I am entering a new phase in my lif, and I thought
I’d call this the unofficial season 2 of the Hey Heart 143.
Remember 143 means I love you so we’re saying Hey Heart,
143.
My
First guest of 2020 is Beatris Karaoglanyan, her spiritual given
name is Sat Avtar Kaur, but she likes to call myself Be, because it
reminds her to just be.
Beatris or Be, is the the creator of Relationships
and Yoga, Healing and Awakening!
She
helps guide her clients into wholeness through Shamanic Coaching,
Spirit Journeying, Soul Retrieval and clairvoyant
divination.
She
weaves spirituality with science, connecting many
different technologies to bring wholeness and healing
for her clients and students.
She
is passionate about discovering and providing what is needed
for healing and real transformation to take
place.
I
loved what Beatris said in one of the yoga classless I attended
with her where she said to the class...
“
Life should be 90 %effortless and 10 % effort.”
I
think I’ve tried to carry that in a lot of things I
do.
How
can we brig that into our daily life?
B
says she learned this mantra on a retreat with another teacher who
would push them on their run in Big Bear, California. Her teacher
told her to look into nature, and receiving effortlessness and
inspiration from nature, and to keep that 10 percent effort going.
“I brought this into my life, I noticed how much more fun life
becomes. A lot more inspiration came in.
There
was a lot more ease a lot more play,” says Be. She says she learned
to be more aware.
“We
as a society push ourselves. We’re taught to work hard, and if
you’re working hard enough maybe you’ll be successful, and you will
be worthy of the reward, but this 90 percent effortlessness
inspiration threw that old power out and made life more about what
calls me forward, and what makes me want to live my
life.”
Q:
During this COVID19 pandemic, I’ve noticed social media is
saturated with this ‘work hard’ and ‘come out of this with a side
hustle,’ and more messages that could make some feel
badly.
“If
there is a ‘should’ in a sentence, forget about it. This should,
could, would, stuff takes us out of our truth and makes us do what
other people think is right.”
Let
the “SHOULD” go. “The should’s are basically in the way, by sucking
your energy out. It makes you feel like you’re not enough. If you
can, let go of the should, and receive the
inspiration.
Does it inspire you to get the new skills going or does it make you
feel like it’s too much work and it’s not aligned with you. If it
throws you into overwhelm you need to let it go.
If
you’re inspired to hustle,
to create
a website, to go on a
run, to do workouts go
for it! But don’t do things because others are telling you to. This
is what creates that effort.
If it
throws you into overwhelm, you need to let it go for now. Overwhelm
means you already have too much on your plate.
Daily
habits Be sticks to.
2-
Evening hike/walk in the mountains.
Be
says this is her alone time with herself, and this helps her be her
true self to not be distracted by the ‘should’s’ of other peoples’
opinion. This allows her to see who she truly is.
Be
has a government Job, working for the EPA, and teaching yoga in the
evening.
You
can find B teaching Yoga on ZOOM through the Awareness
Center.
Beatris says the pandemic has expanded her practice
through what’s possible through technology.
Q:
You mentioned this is ‘waking us up? What does that mean to
you?
Be:
This is a full on death and rebirth of humanity. We have never
experienced anything like this as a whole.
The
new beginning that comes through death and rebirth creates amazing
transformation.
We’re
seeing the air is cleaner. There is less traffic. We’re going
inwards.
“Our
shit is floating up, we’re sitting with ourselves we’re forced to
sit with our shit. Whether it’s fear or anxiety whatever has been
stuck in those old, old hidden cracks and crevices. It’s floating
up and we get that sift that off our the top of our spirit surface
and clear it out. There is a major clearing that’s happening to all
of us. I am hearing you’re doing the work. You’re letting fear and
whatever it is come up and sitting with it and moving to a better
place through dancing, through whatever you need to feel better.
This is an amazing practice!”
“The
other thing I wanted to say is about this whole social distancing
thing. We need connection. In our culture, it demands separateness,
it demands disconnection. We haven’t known to connect heart to
heart. This Coronavirus (social distancing) is in a way helping us
connect to ourselves, our true selves. From those true selves we
have the natural ability to connect with each other in a deeper
way. Soul to soul level rather than head to head.”
“A
lot of us are condemning our human experience by saying we should
be doing this or shouldn’t be doing that. Allowing ourselves to be
human, means allowing ourselves to have those moments where we lose
control and binging, or falling into depression or we’re scared or
anxious. All those stuff that’s linked to survival that has helped
us through millions of years is part of our human
experience.”
Q:
I’m hearing it’s been very difficult for people living entirely
alone. The uncertainty makes it difficult for a lot of
people.
Uncertainty is big, it’s always present.
Certainty is an illusion. It’s part of our illusive
reality that keeps ourselves unaware and numb. Uncertainty in
nature is ‘normal stuff,’ what keeps me balanced is trusting that I
am connected to my inner self. I am connected to great spirit. I am
held. I am supported. God supports me. Whatever God is to you, to
me God is this conscious aware energy that is within everything. It
is alive with everything that’s out there and in there. I am in
constant co-creation with God. This helps me feel like there is
complete certainty in the Uncertainly. I have control because I’m
in communication with the creator. I am the creator and the creator
within me is creating with the big all creator. There is no fear of
death, or loss, everything is continuously changing and
transforming and there is one thing that’s changeless, and that’s
the inner truth. That’s me. All the other stuff is
uncertainty.
GETTING TO YOUR TRUTH.
Sometimes it takes effort to sit yourself down and go
in, I would recommend, to have little tiny commitments. Sometimes
we tend to be big thinkers and commit to 45 min meditation and an
hour run and yoga everyday.
The
universe loves momentum. You start small, two minute meditation everyday. If I want to do more
that’s fine, I’m allowed to do more. Don’t change the commitment of
that two minute commitment until you get momentum. There is this
lizard brain that shuts down when we get scared or overwhelmed it
goes into that lizard brain and the fight, flight, freeze
experience kicks in and we literally cannot think and then we think
we can’t do it. I’m just going to binge.
We beat
up on ourselves. So little commitment. What is it that inspires
you? What is it that your spirit says. Maybe instead of a long walk
you just go stand outside.
The
10 percent effort is, ‘I’m going to walk and stand outside.’ What
feels like your 10 percent effort? Walk and stand outside. If
spirit calls me I’ll start walking.
Be’s
143 Self Love Tips.
*See
what inspires you, what makes you feel self love. Sit with that.
Maybe sit with your journal and ask yourself what does self love
look like? For me it’s hiking out in nature, taking a bath,
writing, pulling a card everyday from my oracle deck.
*Self
love looks like saying ‘No’ to something. Saying ‘no thank
you.’
-
Saying ‘YES' to whatever aligns with me. That’s self
love. Saying ‘yes’ to something I’ve been afraid of but I know this
is something that I want.
*Being committed to holding on to my power, and not
giving it away.
Repeat after me...
Be’s
mantras posted on her wall.

When she feels like you SHOULD be doing something. Taking care of
others, or something is on your mind torturing me.
“I
release YOU to your own highest good.”
2-
The other favorite mantra to do looking in the mirror.
“I
like myself, I love myself, I see my soul”
This
is a good one to build that momentum that you want for your
day.
