The explanation for the hiccup sounds is simple: Involuntary contraction of the diaphragm causes air to move through the vocal cords. However, explaining why the hiccup exists and for what purpose it is used is challenging. Studies revealing unique patterns of brain waves accompanying hiccups reinforce my argument that it is an action performed to reset subconscious communication.
Hiccups are present in other mammals, babies, and even fetuses in the womb, which suggests that the subconscious causes them.
In infants, the pineal gland, which activates the subconscious, intensely receives information from the environment and the universe. Babies need the subconscious more than adults for survival. Embryos communicate through the subconscious while in the womb.
- You will find almost no hiccups in adults because their pineal glands shrink and calcify, and they communicate much less through the subconscious. (The intuitive ability of children is much higher.)
There are other folklore explanations for the question of what the hiccup serves.
- Many believe a hiccup implies someone is thinking about you or removing negative energies. I must emphasize that there are no "negative energies." Still, a situation in which the subconscious is not synchronized correctly with the universe may be interpreted as a negative state. Although folklore has no clear explanations, it is closer to reality than science. It does not think in this direction but attributes the hiccup phenomena to eating, drinking, and various foods.
Hiccups are also prevalent in fetuses, who do not digest food or drinks, so the explanation of the resetting of subconscious communication is at the top of the list.
