Join Saira Francis online via Zoom for a  Recovering From Starseed Fatigue Healing Meditation
Thursday 1st August 2024 7.30-8.45pm £6

I HAVE MOVED ALL MY ENERGY HEALING WORK AND EVENTS TO MY NEW WEBSITE!
‘THE LIGHT SPA DORSET’ – CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE NEW SITE

Have you been feeling completely exhausted over recents weeks, months?
There are new energies and light codes coming through to our beautiful planet at this time, that are affecting us on a deep cellular level.

Replay available to watch forever sent to you straight after the live zoom.

 

BOOK THIS STARSEED RECOVERY MEDITATION HERE 

Many souls have come to Earth at this time to support us through what the Hopi’s have called The Great Purification as we move through the 26,000 & 13,000 year cycles of the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Everyone is being upgraded to a higher light frequency within them. If you have been called to be here on Earth at this time, to fulfil your soul purpose as a Starseed, a Lightworker or Warrior to assist in the transition from the age of darkness to a new age of Light, then you will be feeling this exhaustion and depletion very strongly at the moment.
This healing meditation has been channelled to me by my angels and guides who are asking me to assist you in recovering from this utter fatigue.
We will move through your energy field, clearing blockages and allowing energy to flow through you more freely, helping the new light codes integrate into your field so you can move through this process of upgrade, more swiftly and feel more ready, abundant and alive so you can be of service to the Light and help the planet and humanity as you are here to do.
What to expect from an online meditation:
I will send distant healing that you can receive wherever you are.
The session will be recorded and available for you to watch anytime. The healing intention will reach you whenever you watch.
Just book your space to receive the replay.

If you can’t make the day or time, book anyway and you’ll get a replay straight after the live zoom and then a permanent online link to watch on demand forever whenever you like x

 

I hope you can join me! Much love Saira

Are you in a narcissistic relationship? Podcast with Saira

by

I am passionate about opening up the conversation on narcissistic relationships and toxic abuse.

Last week, Sarah Chave invited me onto her inspiring New Earth Podcast to discuss this topic. Are you in a Narcissistic Relationship?

We talked about the signs that indicate you might be in a narcissistic relationship, how it can affect you, and how the micro of our one-to-one toxic connections reflects the macro of toxic corruption and dark energy in the wider world.

I also shared my insights into how many are awakening to the truth about our world just as many are realising they are in narcissistic or toxic relationships. The two phenomena seem to mirror each other and are part of us all waking up to the trauma we hold, both individually and collectively, in our society.

We then discussed how we can transform this toxicity and darkness into light. I shared my thoughts on how unity consciousness, New Earth vibrations, and building our communities could, I believe, shine light and heal narcissism and controlling bullying in our world. Although we cannot reach the top-down structures of government, industry, and the powerful—and often feel helpless about that—we can reach our friends, neighbours, and colleagues and support them in their healing.

Recognising that “I do not consent”, standing up for ourselves, having strong boundaries, and saying “no” to bullying behaviour, mistreatment, cruelty, and narcissism is vital if we are to heal humanity. The place to start is exactly where we are, in our own direct lives.

I also shared my work with the vagus nerve and how we can use vagus resets to heal from the anxiety and trauma often left after an experience with a narcissist or toxic person.

Watch the video on YouTube here.

In this week’s enthralling episode, Sarah will be speaking with Saira Francis about narcissistic relationships and how to identify bullying or narcissistic traits.

Saira endured a tumultuous 25-year cycle of narcissistic and toxic abuse, resulting in a diagnosis of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Rather than succumbing to this trauma, she has dedicated the past two years to seeking healing. Through a deep dive into the study of the Vagus Nerve, practical methods to support the nervous system, and various other modalities, she’s embarked on a journey of recovery.

Please enjoy and share.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, love Saira x

What is the vagus nerve and why does it need resetting?

by

 

What is the vagus nerve?

The vagus nerve is a vital part of our nervous system; it connects the brain stem to the digestive system and is key to bringing us out of the fight-flight response into rest and digest, where we can begin to relax, let go, and chill out.

Stress, anxiety, and trauma disorders are something a lot of us have to deal with and heal at some point in our lives. So much is now being discovered to help us find ways to release these issues in our bodies, and looking into how to help reset the vagus nerve is just one of many techniques that can have a powerful effect on how we feel, ultimately bringing us all to a place where we can feel better.

This nerve runs from the brain stem down to the tongue, vocal cords in the back of the throat, through the lungs, diaphragm, liver, spleen, large intestine, small intestine, pancreas, kidneys, ending as a ball of nerve endings in the stomach.

On its way down through the organs, it picks up signals from the body that can help it either encourage rest and digest responses or fight-flight. For example, if we are breathing slow and deep, that will send a signal that we are relaxed and all is well; if the breathing is shallow and quick, the signal will be read very differently.

The vagus nerve regulates the internal organs’ function, digestion, heart and respiratory rate, and more. Stimulating your vagus nerve can send a chemical message to your body that it’s time to de-stress and relax after periods of stress.

The vagus nerve is so important to our health and wellbeing. It sends signals to all our internal organs and if it’s functioning well and balanced, it can be intrinsic and encouraging our fight-flight response to calm and allow us to deeply rest.

Life is stressful for the majority of us, in one way or another; stress triggers are a natural part of life, but it’s about being able to rebalance after an event or situation that caused our levels to increase. The vagal nerve needs to be well-toned and functioning in order for us to be able to return to our balance point each time we are set off into stress.

If you suffer from any kind of anxiety or trauma disorder, it’s very likely your vagus nerve will be struggling. With these types of conditions, such as complex PTSD, PTSD, panic attacks, etc., you cannot get back to your balance point and remain in a ‘survival’, ’emergency’ nervous system stress state most of the time. For you, resetting the vagus nerve could bring powerful healing over time and be a part of your healing, recovery journey.

Watch Saira’s vagus nerve reset video on YouTube here.

 

 

How can we help the vagus nerve reset?

Yoga

Yoga really helps to reset this nerve, just by practising a good, all round yoga class will be helping you to relax and aid the balancing out of the nervous system, so vital to our health.

There are particular ways of practising poses and movements in yoga that can stimulate this more deeply though, these are poses that work particularly around the neck, throat, chest and heart as this is where the nerve runs past on its way from the brain to the gut.

Breathwork

Anything that stimulates the back of the throat, helps the vagus nerve. Slow deep breathing, Ujyayi breath, Brahmari (humming bee) breath are just a couple that can help.

Chanting and Singing

Stimulating the vocal chords brings balance to the vagus, in the same way as deep breathing, chanting OM repeatedly, its super simple to chant on your own or singing along to any tune, joining a choir or Kirtan group could help greatly. Singing loudly is the key!

Cold Therapy

The benefits of cold water are many, but the practice really helps to stimulate the vagus nerve. Check out Wim Hof to be inspired about the cold. Cold showers, sea swimming, ice baths (under supervision) or just splashing your face with cold water, all help to stimulate this nerve and bring greater to balance and wellbeing.

Other practices include, meditation, yoga nidra, yin yoga and restorative yoga, mindfulness and practicing mudra (hand gestures that are often part of a yoga practice)
