In this final episode for 2024, we are talking about wellness for the body and soul, with the soulful and divine Shalizar Belgrove. She talks about her soul awakening moment, career journey and her path to becoming a Body-Soul Therapist.

Shalizar says as human beings we are firstly, souls that inhabit a body, our body is therefore the first home and vehicle we were given. Most times, we often neglect it dealing with and living life. By so doing this can hinder us from doing all the things we were placed on the earth to do, if we do not take care of the vessel.

We speak about "work life balance" dealing with stress at work and stressors which affect our body and relationships. Shalizar said that most times we don't have a relationship with our bodies, and take it for granted by doing things that can harm us. This lack of understanding can lead to burnout and abuse. 

Shalizar speaks to the facets of human beings; the body, mind, soul and spirit. She then goes through each so that we can understand how they speak to us in different ways.
 
The Body is the "alarm clock" which signals that something is happening. The Mind is a good servant not a master, the Soul is our consciousness from God. The Spirit is the breath of God that dwells within us. They are all connected and make us  functional intuitive human beings.

Shalizar roots are in the Warao and Garifuna people. They are the first people of Trinidad & Tobago; a nation or clan. She spoke about how these traditions and culture are integrated into her practise and how she is able to help people, which really comes from our heritage. The healing practise, draws on the indigenous healing traditions and principles, and focuses on nature, spirit and community.

We discuss the Soul, where many of the diseases and imbalances come from, which cause the misalignment of the body and soul. In her practise and healing methods, she uses immersions, which requires us to be present with "you" to be in tune with what's happening in and with our body.  

In Zhar Wellness, they believe that wholistic wellness is the foundation of self-love. Shalizar gives some tips on how to get the breakthrough in your life, which means something will break. She says it also takes time, effort, a decision to change and giving yourself grace, throughout the process.
