Emotional Freedom:

Imagine the kind of life you could live

if pain or fear didn't hold you back.

Research shows that more than 85% of all illness

is caused from underlying emotional issues.

That statement is important! If this is true, then those dark, negative emotional areas in our life may be the instigating cause in the physical symptoms we struggle with.

• Do you have areas of your life where you are fearful, feel stuck or paralyzed?
• Do you constantly feel stressed out or overwhelmed?
• Are you holding grief, sadness, resentment or anger?
• When someone compliments you, do you discount it and imply that you aren't worth it?
• Do you say things like, "I'll never get that promotion," or "I'm always screwing up something."
• Do you ever react to a situations in an "over-the-top" emotional way while other people don't?

According to Dr. Oz, unresolved emotional and spiritual issues, such as a broken heart, depression, anger or a lack of fulfillment, can physically affect your heart.

Some well recognized medical doctors such as Dr. Norman Shealy, MD, Christiane Northrup, MD, Andrew Weil, MD, Deepak Chopra, MD and a growing group of others, see a connection between long-lasting emotions and physical conditions. (For a list of doctors who study and speak on this mind-body connection, visit our Helpful Links page on this website.

At Bridge to Better Health, we also see the connection. Sherri Lund has advanced training to help clients address their issues from multiple directions. A physical condition can and very often does effect the emotions or mental health of a person and an emotional or mental condition can and very often does affect the physical body.

There may be feelings of anger or frustration, thoughts of "why me?," or the temptation to just give in. In chronic health conditions, these negative thoughts may hinder your recovery. Some people, such as Norman Cousins and Evy McDonald saw that it was only after addressing emotional issues that their health started to turn around.

What is Emotional Freedom?

Here are some examples of emotional freedom:

1. Someone enjoying the view over the Grand Canyon ledge when before they would not have even planned the trip because their fear was so great.

2. Someone who has been afraid of new situations can now go on a job interview without experiencing sweaty palms and and a nauseous stomach.

3. Someone can think about a troublesome or traumatic memory and not feel the negative charge that used to come.

4. Someone with a terminal illness is at peace, free of resentment, unforgiveness, anger, etc, and able to enjoy their relationships. They are often more "alive" than fully functional, so called healthy people.

What is EFT?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is exciting people all around the world with its remarkable results. Gary Craig, the now-famous founder of EFT, says that,

"EFT is the missing piece to the healing puzzle."

EFT works on removing blockages that disrupt the body's energy systems, similar to acupuncture but without the needles. Simply put, there are specific points on the surface of your body that you tap with your fingers. It is easy to learn and once you have, you can use it anywhere, anytime you need to.

Counselors, therapists, naturopaths, dentists, chiropractors, physicians, and other health practitioners are learning and incorporating EFT into their practice because of the fast, remarkable results it creates.

For more detailed information, Sherri Lund has created another website, www.ExperienceBreakthrough.com.

Are there limitations?

EFT doesn't work 100% of the time but estimates show that beginner EFT practitioners may have a success rate up to 80% of the time and more advanced practitioners can have success rates as high as 95%. Sherri Lund is an advanced practitioner and EFT instructor.

EFT does not claim to cure specific conditions, but it obviously and dramatically can help in managing symptoms, as countless people testify on the EFT website, www.emofree.com. Oftentimes, people with chronic disease feel angry, guilty, worthless, depressed, and fearful. EFT has beautifully dissolved these feelings, often bringing relief in one session.

Some conditions may require a more trained practitioner. In these cases, you may be referred to another EFT practitioner who is also trained as a specialist in another area.

What are the session details?

Initial sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes, follow-up sessions are an hour.

We recommend you plan on at least 3 sessions for most issues. In the first session, we get to know each other and you learn the basics of EFT. 90% of Sherri Lund's clients have pleasantly been surprised at the breakthroughs in this first session. However, once we get beyond the first session and get to know each other more, things can really shift!

These sessions are $100 per hour. There are money-saving packages available when you purchase three sessions at a time.

Want to learn more?

EFT is a key that unlocks areas of emotional healing and it has become an important part of my practice. As my clients address their physical condition with EFT, they notice their symptoms lightening and sometimes going away altogether. On the other hand, if they believe their situation is related to an emotional trauma or event, as they experience breakthrough in that area, they feel lighter and seem more motivated in taking care of themselves. Negative emotions can affect all areas of our lives: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial, professional, educational, etc. We have much to discover about the inner-connectedness of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our body!

Because the connection between the mind and body is so important and there's much to say and learn on this topic, Sherri has created www.ExperienceBreakthrough.com.
