Sternutation
Sternutation is the act of sneezing.
Elisha raised a Shunammite's Son from the dead and just before opening his eyes the boy engaged in seven acts of sternutation (II Kings 4:35).
Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself on him; and the lad sneezed seven times and the lad opened his eyes. (II Kings 4:35, NASB)
This would be the only time Elisha raised someone from the dead while living.
Note: This illustration of "The healing of the Shunnamite woman's son" was done by O.A. Stemler.
