Mental health issues can make you feel helpless, but alongside any medication or talking therapy you may be undergoing, making some small changes to your lifestyle can really help.

And in celebration of World Mental Health Day - which is today, 10 October - one mental health app is helping you to embrace the practice of meditation to ease your psychological struggles.

The Beeja Meditation app offers users a hybrid method of meditation to help prevent escalating thoughts and promote feelings of calmness. Not only does the app help you to monitor your meditation, but it also offers useful resources including an intuitive mood tracker, a journal, and a wisdom section to help you learn about your body and improve the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

The Beeja app usually costs 108 for a lifetime membership, but for one day only it's offering everyone the chance to sign up for free. No catches; just lifetime membership for zero Great British pounds. You can snap up the deal by downloading Beeja in the App Store or in Google Play, and follow the steps for membership registration from there.

"Meditation is a 21st century must have," the app's founder, meditation and mindfulness expert Will Williams tells Cosmopolitan. "It essentially helps supercharge you through your day, bringing clarity and calm - enabling you to be the person you've always wanted to be.

"Practised daily, meditation enables us to access a state that is so physiologically and neurologically profound, that the mind, body and nervous system can begin healing themselves from the straining effects of modern living," he adds.

As a lifetime user, you would be granted complete access to the entire app, including the customisable meditation timer, the 12 step Learn to Meditate programme, guided meditations and all the other resources.

Will claims the app's unique hybrid approach helps to "alleviate deep afflictions and trauma, along with everyday needs such as anxiety, stress, sleep, energy, focus, creativity and relationships."

So if you're suffering at the moment, what have you got to lose?
