20 Tips for Your Mental Health & Wellbeing
Focus on yourself at this time
Set aside time to become aware of your mind and your thoughts.
After a year in the surreal reality of lockdown around the world, now is a good time to ask ourselves this question.
How am I really doing?
We are all experiencing the lockdown around the globe in different ways, some are finding it a quiet time, in solitude or with loved ones, a time to reflect, go slow and reassess life. Others are finding it traumatic, separation, serious financial concerns, anxiety and fear.If you already suffer with mental health issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD or have a serious health condition, its likely this has been exacerbated for you over the past months.
My mental health in the past, often made life a living nightmare. Severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, addiction issues and post-traumatic stress made every day a battle. But I did slowly heal and now I am free of those more serious and debilitating problems .
It can be a battle to get well and to find peace and we all manage life in different ways, but I hope that my journey can inspire you to trust that there is a way out.
I took the long way round and life didn’t transform for me overnight, there isn’t always a quick fix. But we can take steps everyday towards wellness, a little gentle relief and a feeling of peace, a slither of Light that chinks into your being, gives you hope, lets you know that there is another way.
Read more about my personal story here.







Here are just a few tips tiny steps you could try to move towards a happier place, today:
- Start to notice your thoughts, are they always negative? Do you judge yourself critically all the time? Do you feel that others judge you the same way?
- Once you become aware of the thoughts, start to focus on new, positive thoughts throughout the day.
- Create ‘Positive Affirmations’ write them down, put them on post its around your house. Try “I am perfect just as I am”, “I deserve to be loved”, “Everything will be ok, we are all safe and well”.
- Find your own affirmation that feels right, repeat to yourself EVERY time you notice yourself going deeply into negative, worrying or scared thinking.
- Practise meditation daily. Try an app like Headspace, Calm, Smiling Mind. Or go to Youtube and search forone that resonates.
- Try my Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation for free here, or buy the full version here for £4.99
- Don’t give up
- Allow emotions and feelings to come up, don’t push them away or they become repressed.
- Talk to someone, if you can’t see a counsellor now, talk to a friend or loved one, don’t keep it in. Lots of counsellor are seeing clients virtually online, so you might be able to find one.
- Let the tears come, tears are cleansers for the heart, let them flow, be as vocal as you need to be!
- Get out in nature. We know this one don’t we? But still we need reminding how vital this is to our mental health.
- ‘Earth’ yourself for at least 10 minutes a day, bare foot, or if possible lie face down on bare earth, grass, sand. Sit in the roots of a tree, hug it too!
- Practise yoga daily, just a few minutes. Yoga helps to release old, stagnant, toxic energy from our bodies. When the body is stuck in the past, we can’t move forward, release that by moving through poses, deeply stretching and you will feel a change, often straight away. Yoga feels good! It saved me!
- Think of what you allow into your mind, in the same way as what you allow into your body. Go on a cleanse for the mind, a diet! Only put in the good stuff, the positive.
- Turn off the news, its as bad for you as that McDonalds burger! Fill your space with inspiring audio books, beautiful music, read spiritual books and watch or listen to spiritual teachers.
- Don’t beat yourself up. If we are trying to get well and all we do is critize ourselves for not doing it fast enough, or telling ourselves we’re not good enough, judging our ability to meditate or do yoga or stay mindful, its just more negativity. You’re doing your best, it will come in time.
- You’re doing your best. Life is hard sometimes, everyone struggles and has ups and downs, anyone who tells you different is probably lying! Don’t expect miracles (but do too as they can happen!) becoming mentally well won’t make life perfect, but it will help you deal with the challenges as they come.
- Stay strong. Become a Warrior, believe in yourself and your ability to get through this, have your bad days but keep telling yourself that you will pull through, if you believe life can be better, you will draw that happier future towards you.
- Use your mind for what its best at, making things up! Rather than allowing the mind to make up all kinds of negative and tragic scenarios, use it to imagine wonderful, beautiful, happy situations. It might seem silly and woo-woo to think that way, but whats more silly and futile? It is all made up after all isn’t it, the mind makes up stories, fairytales that are entirely fantasy, we don’t know whats coming, we have no idea at all, so instead get creative and think about love, joy, picnics on the beach, dancing with loved ones, smiling, contentment, stunning landscapes, laughter, you feeling well, being amazing and the imperfect perfection that you are.
- Listen to the silence, in between the noise, there you will find the answers, the wisdom, the guidance that you need to carry on.
I hope you find these helpful. Love from Saira xx

Live & Free Full SuperMoon Distant Healing Guided Meditation 28/3/21

Sunday 28th March 2021 7-8pm
An opportunity to come together on ZOOM to enjoy the Full Super Moon in Libra with Distant Healing Guided Meditation Bliss
LIVE ONLINE AND FREE!
If you missed our last New Moon healing meditation on 11/2/21,
you can listen again on YouTube here.
Join Annabel Fox and I for a beautiful Full Moon distant healing guided meditation to bring healing at this time as we move through yet more intense and profound planetary energy around the globe.
We will send distant healing and it will be received by you wherever you are, the session will be available to watch anytime and the healing intention will reach you whenever you watch.
Since starting these online healings last April, I have had so many wonderful stories of how they have helped you and as each one is recorded and you can watch again anytime, I know many of you watch over and over again when one has resonated with you deeply.
The meditations are channeled so I never know until shortly before, where our journey will take us, but the theme is always around deep, soul healing, pure awareness, consciousness and awakening.
These sessions are entirely free and all are welcome.
Feel free to join my Healing Group the Angelic Light Daily Distant Healing group, your name is then added to my healing list. But joining me for these healing meditations will mean the healing will reach you.
Feel free to get in touch to request specific healing or to ask for it to reach friends and family.
What to expect during this healing guided meditation
The meditation will involve a short relaxation and pranayama breath work, guided meditation and then you can sit or lie and receive the healing vibes.
Please note the crystal bowl doesn’t come through well on zoom so sadly I won’t be playing it during the meditation.
But Zoom does mean I am easy and simple to find online and I can see and interact with you more easily and send you healing as I will know who is there! So thats worth the change to zoom from facebook live.
Do let me know your thoughts, I want this to work for you!
I hope you enjoy, please share with friends xxx
Some of what others have said after joining us for a healing guided meditation
“Wow saira-that hit me straight away, I could feel my throat tighten and my tears building. I needed to hear that, I needed to feel that-I felt like I was really stretching out for it. This for me is one of your absolute best and I think it will be the place I keep going back too. Thank you for such amazing words saira and a place I need to be now showing me faith! I feel so emotional xxx” Emma, March 2021
“Wow! So powerful. Can’t remember the last time I sobbed so much. A much needed release indeed. Thank you for sharing this xx” Rob, March 2021
“Hi. I just wanted to thank you for your recent angelic meditation recording. I saved it a while ago but only just had some quiet time today to listen to it. It was absolutely beautiful and even though I didn’t realise it before, I needed it so badly. I had tears rolling down my cheeks during it. Thank you so much” Anon March 2021
“I just wanted to thank you and Annabelle for the healing last night. I have been in pain for a few days now. After the meditation, which I actually slept through, my pains have all disappeared! See you again soon! xxx” K, February 2021

My name is Saira Francis and I’ve been holding a ‘sister circle’ space in Dorset since September 2019. The beauty of coming together in this way has been so healing for all involved and it is now my wish to open this opportunity up to more women with another open/public circle for all.
I am a yoga & meditation teacher, I also practice as a healer, massage therapist and retreat facilitator, I am based in Milton Abbas, Dorset.
Eventually I will be opening this circle up to a ‘real’ space in North Dorset for those who are local, I will continue the online circle too for those who prefer it.
Monthly Women’s Healing Circle Space
The circle will look a little like this:
- Opening space and meditation
- Sharing circle, each participant will have an opportunity to share
- Healing meditation & Close
I am asking for donations, please pay what you can from £5-15pp
The session will run for 2 hours.
Please book your space with confirmation to saira@mellulah.co.uk and your donation to PayPal.me/sairafrancis or Mellulah 82611963 51-81-01 with gratitude.
I will then send you a link to zoom to join this women’s circle .
