One of my favorite stories demonstrating the type of results possible with the WaveMaker occurred one evening about a year ago at my house.

My daughter, Haley, holding the cheese-eating machine that helped her friend
My daughter, Haley, invited a new friend from school over to play. When the little girl arrived and her mother went to leave, she began to cling to her mother - anxiously pleading with her to stay. Her mother said to me, "This keeps happening whenever she goes to a new place. Sometimes she gets herself so upset that she'll actually throw up". Sure enough, a few moments later, that's exactly what happened.
Recognizing this as an emotional pattern that could likely be easily resolved, I said, “I work with a cutting-edge type of technology that is often of great help in situations like this. I wouldn't be surprised if it could stop your daughter from feeling anxious in new situations anymore. Would you like to let her try it?”
The mother responded, like most people do, with a baffled look, but a nod. After all, what I just said was almost uncomprehensible but, on the other hand, I seem to be a sane person and am offering a potential solution to a disturbing problem, so what's there to lose?
I brought out the WaveMaker and said to the little girl, “You know that awful feeling you are having because you are here at a new place and you don’t want mommy to leave?” She nodded. I said, “Can you point to the place in your body where you feel that feeling?” She pointed to her tummy. I said, “Would you like that feeling to go away so that you can stay and play at our house and other friends' houses without feeling upset or worried?” She nodded.
I had her pick up the brass handles of the WaveMaker, turned it on and said, “If you will pay attention to that spot in your tummy where the bad feeling is, you will help this little machine find that bad-feeling spot and together you will magically dissolve it”. As she concentrated on doing that, her wonderful 7-year-old imagination described what she felt -
“That bad feeling is like a piece of cheese in my tummy and some little mice are coming in and nibbling it away.”
And later, with eyes wide with wonder, “Its getting smaller!”
After about 20 minutes, the ‘mice’ had completely nibbled away the bad feeling, leaving none of it there for her to find or feel anymore. "No more cheese", she announced and put down the WaveMaker brass rods.
When her mother left 5 minutes later, the little girl happily waved good-bye and played contentedly for the rest of the evening. Since that evening, she has returned many times. When I asked her mother recently whether she had had any problems since that day, she responded, “No, there hasn’t been a problem with that happening again since that day. Not even at sleepovers. Weird!”
This is a typical example of the types of results the WaveMaker can help create. I love this story because of the simplicity with which this child was able to experience - and accept - the dissolving of that unwanted feeling. We adults tend to find it more difficult to wrap our heads around the notion that emotional 'baggage' can disappear that quickly. We want to know why. And how.
Which, really is the reason for this blog.
Stay tuned!
