Using your mind to get rid of hiccups

If you find that none of the home remedies work for you, there are a few other options you might want to try out. Mind control and the power of positive thinking have worked for other people and could possibly work for you as well. Here are two new remedies for you to work on.

The “Quinxy Method” is described as a way to will your hiccups away by getting control of your breathing. When you feel your next hiccup coming along, breath in slowly and begin to take control of your diaphragm. Tighten up all the muscles you use to inhale and exhale. Keep everything tight, just as you tighten up your muscles when you lift weights. Maintain control of your muscles in your abdomen and chest as you take full breaths in and exhale full breaths out. As you are breathing slowly and controlling your breaths, tell yourself to “Stop!” Your hiccupping should cease fairly quickly. With enough practice, you should be able to get into this mode quickly, and once you know it works for you it will take very little effort.
Another method requires another person to help you out. Have the person stand directly across from you and put their hands on your shoulders. Look directly into the other person’s eyes, and as you hiccup, have your friend tell you to “Stop” in a direct and forceful way. This is another hiccup treatment that you may find works right away. Once you embrace it, you will probably be able to cut out the middle man and just tell yourself to “Stop” and they will obey your orders.

If you feel more comfortable using any of the home remedies, try them out. But if you feel as if you can take control and drive those pesky hiccups out with the power of your mind, start practicing until you feel comfortable enough to just send out the command and they will be gone in a matter of minutes.
