Shalizahr Belgrove is a Body Soul Wellness Strategist, Kingdom Ambassador and Cultural Healer devoted to the restoration of people, systems, and societies through embodied responsibility and holistic truth. She is the Founder of Zahr Wellness. 

She has a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety, Health and the Environment from Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies, and training as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. 

In this insightful conversation we chat about Shalizahr's work in Healthy and Safety and her passion for working with people as a Body Soul Therapist. 

Shalizahr spoke about her personal spiritual journey and her exposure to various religions, where she came to the realization that at the core people want love, community and to be accepted.  

Her belief is in Christ consciousness and her role is to bring heavens intelligence into practical embodied living. This is what led her to start her practice incorporating all these elements of her life experiences and training. 

We talk about being spiritual and connected to a higher power and source.  The balance or imbalance of being guided by the human nature instead of the spirit, because we are beings first. This imbalance causes a whole host of troubles for us. 

Shalizahr spoke about the connection of the body, mind soul and spirt and their enabling. She said as beings we were meant to live in joy not to live in a hurried state. 

The norm of being constantly busy and trying to manage creation is not our divine and human role, we ought to be still and know. As such the pace of life and toxic disruptions today all seek to steal our joy. Therefore if we are removed from experience Joy we are being attacked. 

She spoke about how trauma affects the body, when we become trapped in survival mode and stay in that energy. She spoke about Soma and Somatic experiencing and how it works in practice to help us live better lives. 

Shalizahr talks about nervous system regulation, the things we personally do to "override" the system to keep up the norms and what has become normal as a lifestyle today. Also how men and women are different and how they carry and deal with pain and trauma in different ways. 

This is a conversation that will change your life, do listen and be open,  think about your life and how things affect you and ask yourself questions. 

Like am I living in joy, am I trapped in negative energy, how is my nervous system, am I overriding my system to live in a world that is designed to harm me and what does protecting and keeping myself safe look like. What must I do to live and thrive in this life.
