Ahhh Choo!
Some people say that when they sneeze, they see God, or in some other way, lose their mind. And it has been said that when John sneezed, he became anonyMoses. We think this is an urban myth, even with photographic evidence. We just like being sceptical. Keeps us feeling manly.
AnonyMoses, other than being the person who is typing these words, is also the person who invented the cure for hiccups.
The cure involves no snake oil, no hokus-pokus, no standing on your head while throwing salt over your shoulder. But it does involve one of the few elements that are actually involved in said hiccup. Breathing.
Normally when you breathe, your breath runs along a track. Back and forth. But it needn't be on a back and forth track. In fact it is that moment when the inspiration becomes the expiration, and vice versa, which is part of the problem.
To remedy the problem, here is what you do:
1. Breathe in a slow, steady figure-8.
Simple enough, isn't it?
It usually knocks out the problem immediately, although you may experience one or two hiccups as you're getting the knack. You will find that it helps if you slow your breathing down as it rounds the turn from being an exhalation to and inhalation, and vice versa.
This type of breathing has many other uses, such as prolonging life, increasing awareness, relieving suffering and anxiety, and so on. But for hiccups, there is no better remedy.
And it's free. And prop-free as well. Not even a glass of water.
Please report your results, should you use this handy method by AnonyMoses, free healer.
Thanks, and have a very good tomorrow.
