136. Useless and Useful Coughing
Coughing is prevalent during the winter months. Viruses and bacteria are around the whole year, but in the winter we are more susceptible to them. People ventilate their homes less, are tired, go outside with a warm jacket but also go into stores with their warm jackets on. Warm, cold, warm, cold. And we miss, of course, the sunlight and vitamin D.
Winter months: turning inward
Humans, just like animals, live in tune with nature. Even though we live in western society, our innate natures remain intact and live according to the rythm of the seasons. Call it our innate talent. What our bodies do is turn inward during the winter months and process. Grief, pain and difficult experiences are dealt with by the body, along with built-up waste products. This can cause you to become sick, have a fever and start coughing. Fever, by the way, is super good, so be happy when you get a fever! I wrote about this a while ago, “Never Have a Fever?”
Useless coughing
If you start coughing, it’s a good thing! You are getting rid of built-up waste products via the lungs. Super! There are two kinds of coughs. Dry cough and wet cough. Dry cough is the nasty hacking cough that can keep you up at night. This cough has no function because it doesn’t solve anything for you. You can attack this cough with honey, sucking on licorice or perhaps medication. Try to suppress this cough as much as possible because it irritates your throat and vocal chords. If you have a hacking cough for too long it will actually cause problems!
Useful cough
If you have a cough that loosens phlegm, this is your body cleansing itself. Your cough is particularly useful because it helps you to get rid of the rubbish in your body. This cough has a useful function. The only thing you can do is be sure the cough is gone as quickly as possible by giving the body what is needs: liquids! Drink water or tea and freshly squeezed orange juice with fresh lemon juice in it for the vitamins. The most important thing is that you drink a lot! And no soda, please! It contains a huge amount of sugar. Imagine having a lot of sugar in your blood. It makes it syrupy. Do you think your lungs have to work harder or less this way? The thinner you keep the fluids in your body by drinking, the easier it is for your body to get rid of the rubbish! Cheers!
Coughing and the MIR-Method
People who do the MIR-Method often start coughing. This is because of step 2: Detox all toxicity. Your body begins to dispose of the waste products and uses every means to do this. Fits of crying, using the bathroom more often and coughing. Not nice but normal.
Throat chakra
In addition, coughing does something else. Your throat chakra becomes free again. In the back and front of the throat area is an energy spot. This energy spot can with time become blocked by what you’ve been through. Maybe you weren’t allowed to talk about it, you had to keep silent, felt it was better to keep your mouth shut or you’ve had to deal with more than was good for you. Your throat chakra has become blocked. By doing step 8: Optimize chakras and aura, you assist in freeing your throat chakra gain. Coughing is one of the signals that your throat chakra is beginning to flow freely again. As Sylvia (thank you!) added, “A blockage in the throat chakra can be an indication of disrupted communication with your innermost Self. Not daring to turn inward.”
And how about you? Have you been coughing as well because of doing the MIR-Method? A useful or a useless cough? I’d love to hear about it from you. Please write about it below. Thank you!
My wish for you is that your body coughs itself perfectly clean!

I am on my 2nd week and i notice i feel ill. Coughing. Weak. Tired. I only surmise the MIR method is doing its job and helping my body to heal itself. I have also had acupuncture and taking cbd and mushroom supplements instead of all the inhalers, allergy and blood pressure meds i was taking until recently.

Dear Βικτορια,
I used Google Translate to see what you wrote. I am very glad that you used the MIR-Method for your throat. And that it is getting better! Please tell other people in Greece, since I know that the health care is very poor there due to the economic situation of Greece.
Hope it will help many Greek people!
Greetings, Mireille Mettes
This is what Google Translate made of my answer:
Χρησιμοποίησα το Google Translate για να δω τι έγραψες. Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος που χρησιμοποιήσατε τη μέθοδο MIR για το λαιμό σας. Και ότι γίνεται όλο και καλύτερα! Πείτε στους άλλους ανθρώπους στην Ελλάδα, αφού γνωρίζω ότι η υγειονομική περίθαλψη είναι πολύ φτωχή εκεί λόγω της οικονομικής κατάστασης της Ελλάδας.
Ελπίζω ότι θα βοηθήσει πολλούς Έλληνες!
When i start with MIR method, second time, after some period of time past from doing it before, do i need to go first with 5 and 7 step, or i can do all 9 steps from begining? Second question is could it do me some harm if i quit in the middle of program?
Dear Ceca,
You’re doing fine. No worries about letting go of the MIR-Method. There are several reasons for it. The most common one is that you subconsciously are worried about your growth. It is a bit like sabotage. But the main reason is that you are afraid of your strength, of who you are in potential. That when you grow, you will become visible and are afraid of what people will think of you. Not to worry, everything evolves in the speed in which you want to. That is why you sometimes stop using the MIR-Method. Which is fine. You allow yourself to grow gradually.
And yes, please use all 9 steps. Do not go back to only step 5 and 7. After two weeks they have done their job and need to be supported by the other steps. So please, if you pick up the MIR-Method again, do all 9 steps.
Greetings and good luck! Mireille Mettes
Hello!
I’ve being practise cours of MIR-Method last year. At first i vas delight, started to see more clearly whole beauty and miraculacy of world, nature, etc. later all became usualy normal. This autumn, i started coughing, useless cough.. at that time i cried a lot.. my husband felt bad about both of this things. I kind a like crying, that sorrow and narrowness, which is owerwhelming me, becomes bearable. Coughing.. is so hard. Doctors can’t find cause of it, for almost 6 months. I started to practice MIR-Method again, month ago, with 5 and 7 steps only, first. I was hope it would help, but.. i don’t cry now.. and cough is not gone. I used some medications thrue that time, some specialist were examine me, but nothing helped. Can you help me somehow? Sorry for my prolixity.

Dear Ceca,
It is hard to just tell what is going on with your cough. Usually when it is a dry cough, it has nothing to do with illness, but more with emotional or energetic issues. When I look at the chakras, it could very well be that your coughing has everything to do with your throatchakra. When that chakra grows stronger, your power to speak up becomes stronger. If speaking up is a problem, then your body will try to resist it, because it can be afraid you might get hurt, like when you were a child.
I hope you understand what I am talking about… please have a look to see how free you feel to speak your mind.
Good luck and I hope you will get better soon!
And… do not use only step 5 and 7, but use all 9 steps!
Good luck!
