Free tapping meditations
At Cadas we’ve been using tapping, and training our clients in using tapping, for years. It’s a great way to manage your stress and this free-to-install app has some short tapping meditations to use with all the family.
Together We
Janine Ward at Together We (in Workington) was self-isolating pretty early on and she’s made some basic videos about looking after yourself and your mental health during the pandemic.
