I discovered Dr. Mew's videos at age 45. I then began taking his tongue posture advice in earnest, as well as chewing gum and/or eating raw carrots every day. I am 49 now, and I would estimate my lower face has come forward about 3 mm in the past 4 years. My lips are a bit fuller, and my profile looks subtly better. My teeth are definitely much easier to floss. By the way, my dental history is that I had 4 teeth pulled and braces installed when I was 14. Up until age 45, I had NO tongue posture whatsoever. My tongue did not touch the maxilla at all. Now, after practicing Mew's advice, I even wake up in the morning with full tongue posture. So i have gotten to the point of having good tongue posture even in my sleep (i think). I will continue with chewing exercises and tongue posture, because yes, you can make a difference, even if you come to this late in life.
Well you can even try to tell family and they will not be too happy with you for sharing this. Why? Because while we say it's okay to go gaga over some model, it's apparently "wrong" to look good ourselves. In lower income areas we are basically told the opposite of what is true and are not to believe anyone who tells us are problems aren't always about money. Or that answers to problems are not always 10s of thousands of dollars to fix. It's weird. You'd think they be thrilled to find solutions to their problems but they demonize answers and solutions. More than that they are highly sensitive to the truth of any thing. It's funny because while the mainstream religion demands we not "want" there is a verse which basically says wanting is okay. In fact, it asks that you ask so that you can be happy. I know. Crazy right?
Top tip; This video is one of the most important that I have made to date and I am recommending this to all of my patients. I've a few new ideas and will post a video on them when I have time. One thing is to watch the area above your throat, at the junction of your neck and jaw. WHen you raise the back of your tongue correctly this area should rise up reducing any "double chin" at this point. You should see the loose skin rise up to give a much better definition to this area. Work on it, it is not easy, and it takes years of hard work to make a difference. Mike
+Carla M Have you started orthotropics for your daughter? How is it going ? I am looking into this for my child...he has sleep apnea. So expensive here....orthotropics will cost me $10k!
I have done this for 2 days and this area between neck and jaw have grown ALOT, wonder if its a posture thing because my posture has improved so much in a day its unbeliveable
Take good images of your self now, particularly some from the side zoomed in from a distance with excellent light and a plain background #mikemewpersonalresponse
i have on question. basically im wearing braces and i stopped my treatment, i still have them on me even though i stopped, can this help even out my bite??
I've been trying this and experimenting with this for about a year now. I have figured out a few tricks that help drive that back third of the tongue up as he was describing in this video. First, I'd advise looking in a mirror and breathing in deeply with your mouth open like you are yawning to see how the soft palette lifts up and back when the airway is really relaxed and open. Ultimately, you want to use the back third of your tongue and emulate this position at all times. As far as driving the tongue back into this position, I have found breathing in through your nose while imagining you are saying the word gunk does the trick. The g sound drives your tongue into the soft palette. The n sound while help get the front of your tongue up in the right place. The k sound also helps with opening the airway and pushes your tongue into the front part of the soft palette, the spot in front of the uvula while the vowel uh supports and open airway and deep breathing. I found it helpful the bite down while doing this as it really, really helps drive the back of the tongue into the correct position. It feels like the front part of my tongue is sucked on the roof of my mouth, pulling down towards my throat while the back part and my jaw muscles push up with equal force. It helps if you place your finger right above the Adams apple to really feel the tongue moving up and out of the way. If you are doing this correctly, you cannot cross your eyes, no matter how hard you try. If you can do this, you'll feel your tongue moving and you will need to add more suction. It is also important to put your lips together like you are saying m and slightly raise your eyebrows and squint your eyes to help the tongue get up high enough to give your eyes more support. Another way to think of it is kind of like you are dry heaving and you have to bite down to suppress the urge to gag. It might trigger the gag reflex a bit when you first start but it goes away pretty fast if you work on this consistently. It will feel like the back of your throat is being stretched a bit and might feel a bit sore at first but you get used to it after working on it for a while. Give it time and you will notice a difference in how you feel and look. I am very happy I came across these videos as they have quite literally changed my life.
For those of you who can’t breathe when u put your tongue up to the soft pallet, the guy explains at 2:28 (although it’s kind of hard to understand) that holding your breath is very similar to pushing your tongue up to the pallet. If u can’t breath, it means your pushing into the soft pallet to much with your tongue causing it to block the airway. Instead u need to find the sweet spot where you are pushing into the soft pallet without blocking your airway. Also, if u get more of an overbite when doing this, it means your tongue is pushing more into the hard pallet (the bumpy part on the inside above your teeth) which is incorrect. There are some comments here that can help u get your tongue in the right position.
@@christianjohnson2562 Don't you know listening? The guy in the video has clearly said that if you push hardly it will restrict your breathing. He demonstrates that exactly in the video and says he cannot breathe out in that case as well.
Can I check with you that it should be no problem to breath in and out through the nose whilst doing this (or not.) thankfully I've always been a nose breather.
I’m 18. If I have kids this is going to be one of things I make sure I drill into them. Having a weak jawline is one of the worst insecurities. Mine has improved slightly but it’s still nowhere near what I want it to be. If I spent the last ten years of my life with proper tongue posture I wonder where I’d be.
I'm 26. I already had quite a robust, masculine jaw, but I have been doing this for 5 months now, and I have noticed a significant difference in my facial appearance,particularly my cheekbones. My face looks more defined. Be patient ppl. I didn't really notice much till about month 3. just be patient. it does work. trust me.
Blazed Duck whenever your mouth is closed, so do it throughout the day! it's now about month 8, and I put my tongue to the roof of my mouth just naturally!! it'll hurt for the first couple months. but it will begib to feel normal about month 3.
I really hope Dr. Mike come up with an easier video. It seems not many people actually understand what he means or many people have different ideas including myself. I've watched this multiple times, but still have no idea.
Try swallowing, pause, don't let ur tongue drop and hold it in place. This forces your tongue to flaten at the top of you mouth without touching your teeth. And it pushes the back of your tongue(the part closest to your uvula) up aswell. It'll be hard for you to breath at first.
Basically just press the back half of your tongue to the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue gently resting just behind your front teeth without touching your teeth make sure your mouth stays closed so that you're not biting your tongue and let your tongue spread out across the roof of your mouth while pressing upward. I realized the reason I thought I was doing it wrong also is because of how uncomfortable and awkward it is since our mouths are not used to it it does take time and will feel like you are choking at first.
I love how you always say "Work hard" at the end. It always reminds me and strengthens that thought so keep saying it. Certainly you have delt with less then inclined people. You once spoke of a body builder accepting that philosophy readily saying "Yeah it took me 10 years to look like this". 2 years in my bodybuilding experience and I completely related to that maxim. Thanks Mike Mew. I will be sharing your wisdom with the world
grace harris just put your tongue (all of it not just the tip) on the roof of your mouth. like the way you do when you hold your breath adult style, w/o air in your cheeks. keep that tongue posture all day with lips closed and teeth slightly touching. many people walk around with open mouths, hanging jaws. not a good look and it makes your face drop down over the years.
Ok for all of those people who don’t understand a thing what he is saying, he is trying to tell you this: Keep your tongue at the roof of your mouth, and if you want to check if you are doing it correctly here is how. Open your mouth while keeping your nose plugged, if you can’t breathe with your mouth you are doing it correctly. It also removes your double chin. After doing it for a long time it will just be there naturally and there is no thing to worry about. You will have better jawline and cheekbones. Your profile will look nicer.
Side note: I started caring about the tongue posture and the IMEDIATE EFFECT (like in 2 days) is that my airways (which have been extremely narrow for my whole life) have opened sensibly. Sleep is much better.
I’ve had neck instability and pain for two years. Doing this for 2 days has eliminated the pain and muscle tightness in my neck. The discs in my neck will still need to heal,….but this is a game changer. I don’t even care if I don’t see any other benefits. Although I’m sure they’ll come over the years.
@@lucre113 well.....I feel you man since i got the same issue. You can learn to position it slightly better and doing daily exercises pushing the palate. It should widen airways and slightly widen the mouth roof. Takes time and dedication like a gym workout.
Whoa this is crazy to me I didn't even know this was a concept my tongue just goes to the top naturally. For me I can't imagine having it at the bottom just feels weird.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been pushing my front teeth with my tongue and now I stopped doing that. I think more people should know about this "mewing". Because I had no idea before and didn't know that I've been placing my tongue in a wrong position. This thing actually works.
Thank God I was born with a normal tongue. My tongue naturally rests at the roof. Popping ecstacy for 2 yrs straight also helped me develop a nice jawline.
Most people have a “normal” tongue, too. You’re lucky not really in the normalcy of your tongue, but rather that you have a habit of placing it correctly inside your mouth. There are many reasons that some other people don’t have this habit and it usually doesn’t have to do with their tongues being abnormal.
Thank you! I have been putting my full tongue on my palette. As a person who studies CranioSacral Therapy, I am using my tongue pressed on my palette (with five grams of pressure) to feel my own craniosacral rhythm (Upledger - flexion and extension). I am feeling that my own tongue is a great palpating tool for my own CranioSacral Rhthym. I can feel it as I am walking, doing dishes, driving on a highway, sitting here at the computer. I can create a still point by using my tongue rather than my hands as the tool. I think it may create good communication between my enteric brain, nervous system, bones and fascia.The anterior part of the palette is the two maxilla bones and the posterior part of the hard palette is the two palitine bones. The soft palette is the vomer and the medial pterygoid of the sphenoid. Have fun with this!
If you wanna know if enough of your tongue is touching the roof of your mouth, all you have to do to check this is look at the place where you would get a double chin, where the neck and chin meet. If you are doing it correctly it should pull inwards removing any double chin.
Sir You are a genius. You make me proud to be a dentist. Very well explained. It took me years to come a similar conclusion when i found that the majority of anxious patients are basically anxious because their thoughts cause them to suffocate by placing their tongue in the wrong position thereby stopping air flow. And the difference between the two is small but with exercise can be corrected.
I have huge tongue. When I try to mew my tongue fill the entirity of my mouth that it need to stick out. Also I cant press the tip of my tongue againts the upper lining of my mouth otherwise I will have to get my throat really far down my neck. My tongue is not long, its just way too huge😂
@@wepple123 there is nothing such as a huge tonuge. if you pull all the teeth of a patient the tongue expands (or gets bigger). size of tongue is contained by teeth. stress causes you to pull your tongue back, hence causing empty space between lower front teeth and tongue. later teeth move back due to forces as if you had braces. Now the space available for the tongue is smaller. now they have a solution for sleep apnea based on a sensor that detects your breathing and can stimulate your tongue to be pushed forwards everytime it goes back
SIMPLE EXPLANATION: first put the front of your tongue some 0,5-1 cm from your front teeth. then, start to lift the back of your tongue up. dont suck it use muscle force. go as high as your can till the back. then start moving your tongue a little bit forward and back, till you found a position where you suddenly start to breath deep through your belly and suddenly fid it more comfortable to sit up with a straight spaine instead of your head forward. this is the extremely simple explanation, might take you a few days or trial and error to find that exact right tongue position. just try oit and experiment a bit. the breath and spine thing is the hardest to find. look for noahs malms post below, save it in a notecard, he has a more elaborate cheklist to see if you do it right. this is the simple explanation to get started. when you get this right for awhile and get the breath and spine thing, use his checklist to see if you do it exactly right. every morning it takes me a bit of trying to get that exact pose, but doesnt takes long anymore. both your face will start to improve and your will get rid of health issues or you will prevent them. will prevent a lot of the getting uglier as you age or will improve it. gets you rid or mental issues, depression anxiety too if you get the maxzilla wider. importan to do it exactky right for the best effect. im 38 and it still works. also had atlasprofilax done to get rid of scoliosis. only do it with a real atlaxprofilax professional, had 5 other people do it too after i had good results. one tried a cheap "other" method it did not work. when he did go to a real atlaxprofilax trained professional he got rid of his whiplash issues. what ive seen from the health issues this can cause it depends a lot on your type of facial deformity.
I found this impossible no matter how hard I tried, until I had tongue tie surgery, I had a posterior release. Now I can easily feel the posterior 3rd of my tongue touching the soft pallet.
Mewing is legit!!! I’ve been trying to do the tongue posture thing, then I watched some videos of Astro Sky and I understood it. I have the whole tongue up on the roof of the mouth and I do a tongue sweep every time I swallow. My cheek bulges are like half of what they were and they’re even starting to become hollow, so my face seems more square-ish. My cheekbones are definitely more defined and I feel like my face has a harmony that it didn’t have before. Also, in the beginning it was really irritating having to remind myself to do all that but once you get that posterior third up and you swallow correctly it’s really easy to keep doing it and it feels really good too. It took me approximately 3-4 months to get the tongue posture and I saw results 1-2 months after (I’m 18 btw). But be careful, if you’re doing it wrong, for example if you suck your teeth in order to swallow you’re not going to have the results you want, just be very careful that you’re doing the correct thing. I’m really grateful I found this channel.
Doing it right now. Been doing it for a week and can already feel my double chin area tightening up throughout the day. It really is a workout for your face. I can feel the soreness in my jaw from holding that back of the tongue up. Definitely feel the pushing outward as well. Didn't realize there was proper posture within our faces. You sir are a true genius. I am excited to see how this new positive yet disciplinary habit will change my appearance. Also, does this have a positive effect on the thyroid? Thought I heard you say something like that on another video. Anyways, this information is monumentally noble of you to share!
Just discovered Mike through his interviews with Bret Weinstein's. I wanted to check in with you and find out if you've managed to keep a double chin and or joules at bay now that it has been 4 years for you. 😜
Hi Dr Mew I appreciate your videos! In 2020 I plan to certify in OMT (as a current RDH) and in 2021 plan to start my own company. Your work is an inspiration!
While it is very valuable to have such a clear endorsement for an efficient and effective tongue posture, this focus on effort is not so functional - when the tongue root releases and the spine reorganises - many ways to do this, none of them a "quick fix" as Dr Mew so rightly emphasises elsewhere - the tongue lifts naturally towards the palate, with no tendency to block the airway. This excellent teacher is one of many who present posture as something we have to do, when in fact the unnecessary tension that distorts our posture is something we need to learn to undo...
Yeah I noticed the same thing, my breathing felt like i was gettting more air which makes sense.However I would like to use some sort of instrument to measure if there is more air flow. Its like the minute I moved my tongue up I was like wth it feels like more air flowing in.
It actually does work wow Try breathing through nose nromally Now pusubtongue on upper and breath through nose It's much easier to breath, less energy needed to breath ;D
Does anyone else tongue ache when trying to do this? Also I feel as though I can only get half my tongue to touch the top of my mouth, I can't seem to get the back end of my tongue to touch the top of my mouth...
Boo Baa , i have been doing this for a year now, it is normal to feel this tongue ache because the tongue muscles are not used to this kind of effort. I am an yoga practitioner and there is a mudra in yoga that teaches you to "plaster" the tongue all the way on the palate. In addition to what the doctor mentioned i am using tongue exercises for my students with sag under the chin. Tongue muscles are responsible for the dreaded double chin. I have also noticed that the patients who breathe through their mouth, keeping the tongue down in the mouth, have a tendency to double chin or at least an unpleasant look under the chin. It works.
DVCE P. - I too struggled bad at first. It was like my tongue was aching so bad. Now I can hold it there all day long and my tongue doesn't ache at all. The tongue is a muscle, you need to strengthen it. After a while you won't even notice that it's there.
I think i have the same problem, it looks and feels like my overbite is getting worse. Maybe its because I swallow more than before because of this, and when I swallow I still suck on my teeth instead of on the palate.
I just started 4 days ago and my tongue and throat right under are all sore (muscle soreness). BTW I just learned it at 45. I've been learning more about it and it all just makes sense.
@@Smokingpineapples I've been able to widen my palate by 2mm but had to do less tongue exercises because one of my crowns came off. I plan on seeing a dentist in Baltimore that specializes in adult orthotropics to cure sleep apnea. Some of the benefits I've experienced are: no more grinding my teeth, neck pain is gone, my body posture is visibly improved, can breathe a bit better, and sleep quality is slightly improved. Consider that I'm also using my thumbs to put pressure on the sides of the back of my palate at least a few times a week. And I've also been trying to keep my tongue in an acceptable position when I sleep. The beginning was tough but it's all much easier to do now. Even my dentist has commended me for my progress so far.
Man you are awesome after so many years of research and treatment ( which was all in vain), finally i am able to feel my back teeth with this method. God Bless You Man.
+Erica Logan I Was to one last week he recomended me to stop having my tongue like this and told me it is supposed to be like a dead fish in the bottom of my mounth. So i started to try to relaxe it to the bottom of my mouth every oppurtunity for a few days but it just didnt feel comfortable and my tounge wanted to spring up. So i found out that it's not how it's supposed to be. Why would this asshole tell me that? Uneducated or wanna make money on selling me a splint? :S
The method I use is. - Place your tongue-tip at the area behind your top front teeth, then smile while showing your teeth, then swallow and try to keep the back of the tongue up. You can immediately see your jawline getting more tight and flat underneath your chin, while you hold this posture. He, unfortunately, does not do a very good job of explaining it in this video (watch some of Astro Sky's vids) Thank me later
TBoneWiddowMaker19 this works well thank you, jawline gets tight and your face looks more symmetrical (I developed symmetry imbalance on one side of face since a few years )
I’ve genetically got a pretty strong jawline, but the tip of my tongue has always been rooted to the bottom of my mouth with a tongue tie since I was born so 20 years. Recently I got it cut when I got my wisdom teeth removed and can’t wait to try this to see how chiseled my jaw line can really become. Great video
ATTENTION i think that when you swallow the tongue purposefully pushes the soft palate on the nasopharynx even if you have perfect bone placement and tongue posture. i think its a mechanism to stop food and water from traveling down the trachea, and also when you swallow your tongue pushes your food against the palate moving it backwards but when it gets to the soft palate the tongue needs something hard enough to push against so that's why the soft palate extends all the way back. so yes when you swallow you wont be able to breath. but instead swallow, to get that suction hold, and then draw your tongue down a bit until you can breath and there you have it. but this advice is just for people that can put there tongue on the roof of there soft palate but don't know that they can. its just the right technique. it think there's a lot of misunderstanding between mike and people who think they cant the best way you can tell your doing it right is if you get a small mint an place it on the back of your tongue and see if it touches the back of your palate
For people who can't breathe with their tongues against the soft pallet (very back part of the roof) use your index finger to press against it and slowly go further and further down the back with your finger pressed against it while trying to breathe through your nose this should help
For Quran recitation, almost same method of tongue positions, articulation points, holding n letting out breath and so on are used to pronounce letters.
If anyone feels like they can’t breathe while mewing, you can always open your palate to breathe, think breathing back…towards the back of your neck. You can open your throat more and you will get used to having more real estate available to do this. Signed, a small jawed female.
For anyone who doesn't know what to do: 1. Make a fake and cheesy smile and hold it 2. Swallow (hold the smile!) 3. Feel the tongue pushing against the top of your mouth, it will almost feel uncomfortable and tight in the back. This is where your tongue should be. If breathing feels slightly harder than usual you're on the right track.
I actually breath better when I can achieve this. And if I have my front teeth touching and tongue in the appropriate spot, I absolutely can feel it under my throat, in my cheek muscles, and I keep my head up easily.
This takes time and awareness. It will get easier and easier over the course of a month. Similar thing for correcting posture. It's uncomfortable at first but gets easier and easier
Wow. I fixed this with following method: Put your (hopefully cleaned) index finger into your mouth with sliding on your tongue until your proximal phalanx (1st phallanx of your index finger). Push it slightly on your tongue, very shallowly, and now try to push the first half of your index finger upwards and hold it. While holding try to breathe in/out through your nose: NOTE it could feel like thrusting, BUT actually if you start gently you can actually train it: BONUS it will clean the area of pharnyx and nasal conchae!!!!
What you describe @ 3 minutes in is EXACTLY what happens in spines.. after a while the body becomes used to subluxations even though they are abnormal and cause SO many problems. That's why it takes multiple chiropractic adjustments for the spine to eventually start staying straight.. people don't understand this concept and think that Chiropractors are ripping them off by making them go back for multiple adjustments but what they don't understand is that the spine is not going to stay straight after only one or a few adjustments.. it takes months, sometimes even years
Got bad airflow through right nostril (due to deviated septum), but by getting the posterior tongue up I can breath deep and powerful even from that nostri! Obviously my tongue muscles are weak to keep it constantly but will strengthen them via exercises.
ya I noticed a drastic improvement in my breathing too and I have a collapsed nasal vale/perf. septum. I can only imagine when that gets fixed. Why TF didn't they teach this in school?!?!
Hi, I'm currently 21, I've doing mewing for two days now. At first I wasn't able to breath at all while pushing my back part of my tongue on the roof of my mouth as it was blocking my air way. So I started to hold my breath for 30sec, then breath in and out for couple of time( of course nose breathing) then again hold my breath for 30 sec blocking my air way so that the back part of my tongue can sit on the roof of my mouth. It's not the optimal way to do mewing but today for the first time I was able to both breathing and maintain my tongue position at the same time, meaning no more holding my breath, I don't know how did it happen, but it did. Also I should mention this that breathing while maintaining tongue position is extremely painful, I could barely to it for a min, it felt like the muscle under my jaw are going numb. Although I'm hoping that in future I will be able to do it for longer periods. I will update this comment if I encounter any development in future. Keep working hard.
when i try to swallow with my tongue flat on the roof, saliva pools in the sides (i normally would use my cheeks to help swallow) how do i stop saliva from flooding my mouth?
@@vandermonke4178 this comment was 4 yrs ago, and now i have no trouble mewing unconsciously. i think i've trained my tongue to unconsciously scoop excess saliva so i don't need to use my cheeks. good luck, you got this
ive had chronic anxiety with a restless tongue for the past 6 years . it’s caused really bad posture , and pain. i’ve tried this off and on a few times over the years but i always stop when my anxiety gets the best of me. but it’s been a week straight of stretching and mewing exercises and i’m starting to be able to breathe with the posterior 3rd of the tongue flat , so i guess it’s working . i’m going to try to keep going
Ryan Dogsling if im doing this my lips get pressured And my tongue draws back slightly behind the ridge wich allows me to keep it sucked there. Is that the possition Where im looking for? My tongue is Plasterd on the palate But my tip is about 1centimer behind my front teeth instead of Just behind it? Is this correct?
Hey mr mew I been binging all your videos. Loving the information you and your dad have brung to discussion. I would like to add a couple thoughts aswell. I know from training the transversus abdominal muscle, the strengths are derived from pulling in your stomach to the back of your spine without relying on suction of the gut to do so. So with your insight I used the same principles keeping my entire tongue up without using suction to do so for added strength gains inside the face. Second I found I can get the entire back third of my tongue up and close my jaw in a good position while keep my airway’s completely open by pushing the end of my tongue forward toward the front teeth and expanding the whole tongue at the same time. Then I can also add a partial cheese smile swallow technique without breaking lip seal to pull the bottoms of the tongue up toward the roof of the mouth as well. Working on all of that bc it gets progressively harder the more steps you add to the posture training. Hopefully training in this way will show mass improvement over the weeks.
Makes sense, I practiced this without realizing that it was beneficial years ago and I did change my facial appearance for the better. Now I need your help cause toward my late thirties I became an alcoholic and all posture was lost. Now I have no lower molars on my right side and my massetter muscle and jaw bone is larger on my left side. My face has always been a little uneven but now it's very noticeable. Please, any advice I would greatly appreciate. Implants?
My oral Myofunctional therapist said that our tongues aren’t meant to be on the roof of our mouths all the time nor is it meant to be forced to the bottom but she said Mike Mew is a good source of information
I found an trick that is suppose to bring back of your tongue up. Grin like a madman, wide as fucks lips open, but keep the teeth together and move your eyebrows up and make wide eyes, then swallow as hard as you can and it should bring your tongue up. It seems to work but i have no idea where tip of my tongue should rest... it usually ends up behind my front upper teeth and bends down or up upon my teeths, it feel more relaxed that way. Also it feels like there's a lot of saliva in front of my teeth and i can't swallow it if i don't move my lips and push it back to my throat, it seems if i don't it i would start to drool. I don't feel tension in my chin but in upper part of my jaw, where back upper teeths are.
Completely agree !! Practice can seriously help in achieving correct posture. Step by step you ll notice increse in area of tounge touching upper skin of mouth and throught
Oof i searched and searched but still cant understand: Where is the tip of the tongue lying relatively to the massive ridge my high and narrow palate has?
I wish there was more explanation for those of us with bad overbite. I can get my tongue flat on the roof of my mouth touching the soft palate but when I do my teeth are not together and my jaw is pushed forward(which seems like a good thing because is the direction I want the jaw to move). When I try and do this with with my teeth closed together lightly I have to push my jaw backwards to its normal receeding area which seems counter intuitive. I're read and heard that the teeth should be touching and other times they say it is not important. Anyone have any more details on what the correct way is?
i really dont get this, how do you move the "posterior third" up? how do you know if you are even doing it right, would it be that hard to make a diagram showing how it should look? should i just suck my tongue up to the roof of my mouth?
I don’t get it, I put my tongue up so I can’t breath out my mouth and use my nose. Then I can’t swallow the massive amount of saliva in my mouth? Is it normal for the back of my tongue to have like a muscle burn after working out?
Guys if you are reading this (like this comment) it is probably because when you put the posterior back third of your tongue against your palette you can't breathe. Here are some tips to help. 1. Don't put your whole tongue too far back. 2. Try to say the "Nnnnn" sound, and hold your tongue in that position. 3. Keep sticking with it because your airways will open up.
