John Lennon hiccup cure as it relates to time and space and being out of sync continued...
I will reiterate the pre-TBC part:

"Can anyone see or imagine nothing?"  Interesting question that relates to what I refer to as my John Lennon hiccup cure, which works even (especially) with children.  You get hiccups, which, without my going into details that are difficult to substantiate, has to do with a time warp of sorts.  You need to get back in sync.  You hold your breath close your eyes and imagine yourself in a closed chamber...

(Really try to image this as you read and the next time you get hiccups, really do it if you are inclined and able. It works! ;-)). There are material items in the chamber, say a table, a lamp, a chair, corners of the room, a ceiling and a floor, but with your focus, you strive for them to disappear.  Suddenly the table is gone, the chair, the lamp, there is nothing in there, no ceiling, no floors, no corners.... Suddenly it is an empty white room (of possibility-- given our theme in this thread).  You focus (hard) on the lack of stuff, the emptiness of this chamber....  

You lose yourself in the something-nothingness of this previously material-occupied space.  If you can focus in an existentially present and honest enough manner (which is difficult, but achievable, depending upon your current environmental, emotional, historical, etc. context.  It is possible, but try not to blame yourself if it doesn't work.). You have irritating hiccups that keep happening and increasing anxiety about performance, as well as concern about the outcome, which can interfere with "sitting with the process".  The anxiety-performance curve [look it up- helpful theory in psychology] is associated with depreciating abilities.  It's like Olympic volleyball.  If you miss a shot and dwell on it, you may get upset and use your "pie diagram" of energy understandably, but unproductively.  You may miss the next shot due to self-recrimination.  

This works best with very small children who listen and try hard when one tries to help.  Try it.  I'd be interested as to your associations as to how this, I think, is highly pertinent to this thread and life. Love, Maria....
