I got bored and discovered this about 10 years ago, before I ever knew it was a real thing in hatha yoga.
Wait, but did you sever your “frenulum of the tongue” for that? I just tried and that is what’s preventing me from doing it.
No, it just stretched out over time. I never cut it, but sometimes it would form a type of scab for a few days.
It might be partially severed, but my tongue doesn’t look crazy long like the people who get it surgically done like Gene Simmons from KISS.
What you mean he wasn’t born with it?
Maybe it is Maybelline?
May…be…
That’s one way to stop snoring…
omg i can actually do this also guys don’t do it, your nose needs the mucus, if you lick it all off from inside it starts to hurt
You can do this naturally with no practice? You’re some kind of hatha yoga chosen one. Unlock your deep chakra and send the tongue to the heart.
Your mileage may vary for sure. I naturally produce more mucas than most people, but not an obscene amount or anything. I don’t remember it ever starting to hurt after I did it unless I ate acidic or spicy food recently though.
this is probably delightful if you ever get a flu or cold
Seems more like a delightful new way to give yourself sinus infections.
I’ve never given myself a sinus infection in the 10 years I’ve been doing this, but others might?
I naturally produce more mucus than most people anyway. I’m not really sure, maybe it’s minor dust allergies? It generally makes things easier for me to manage.
Absolutely. On the flipside: you can now scratch itches you didn’t even know you had.
Or auto-asphyxiation.
…but why
no more blocked nose :)
But you’ve also given the mucus a pathway straight down your own throat
Umm…
…
…
It already has it. The mucus already goes down your throat, no matter what you do. You swallow mucus every time you get sick.
Do you ask why when someone builds a castle in Minecraft?
Edit not criticizing you, just making a joke 😅
Why not? No real reason other than a novelty and it’s easier to get the dried-on mucus off in the morning or the rare occasion when I’m sick.
It’s also easier to get popcorn kernels unstuck from my back of my throat when that happens and easier to extract tonsil stones without using my finger or a different oral tool.
Also, as I’ve replied to other comments, I’ve got a slightly higher mucus production than most people seem to naturally have. So it helps to not have to blow my nose as often.
To what end yoga? To what end…
I’m guessing you could blow some wicked tuneful raspberries
In stereo too
Oh. Carry on then.
Plfptflptflptftlpfplt
That was my first thought exaclty.
“Why though?”Ever wanted to pick your nose while meditating?
I do, but with my fingers. And “mindfully”.
I was curious too, so I went to the Wikipedia page:
The goal is to attain liberation in the body, by sealing in the energy of bindu in the head so that it is not lost.
Haṭha yoga is a branch of the largely spiritual practice of yoga, though it makes use of physical techniques; it was developed in medieval times, much later than the meditative and devotional forms of yoga. Its goals however are similar: siddhis or magical powers, and mukti, liberation. In Haṭha yoga, liberation was often supposed to be attainable in the body, made immortal through the practices of Haṭha yoga. Among its techniques were mudrās, meant to seal in or control energies such as kundalini and bindu. Khecarī mudrā is one such technique.
tl;dr - A spiritual practice of yoga in Hindu metaphysics.
My brother in Buddha… how about we don’t do that.
Daaammn babe what that tongue do?
Actually nevermind, don’t make the tongue do…
dang… turbomewing
My jaw is the same size its always been. 😂
Now this is some pro level mewing.
I don’t think mewing works, my jaw is the same size. 😔
My legs feel weak from just seeing the diagrams
Surley your time would be better spent practicing self fellatio until you are 10/10 at it ?
Now, I am l assuming here that you’re a dude because… well…
I’ve thought about it, I dunno, I guess I’m happy enough with all the sex toys I own. 😂
Based use of technology to complete a task without the need for an extreme physical skill.
This is second hand info, I’m nowhere near limber or big enough, but I saw a comment from someone who allegedly was able to self fellate. Apparantly the overall impression is that it is more like sucking dick than getting your dick sucked. I’m not implying that it’s a bad thing, just know what to expect before committing to a rigorous training regiment with that goal in mind. Or whatever, you do you. 😏
Modern phonetic transcription stands no match for the ultra-nasal
”Dumb ways to die~~”
It certainly would be a dumb way to die. Thankfully, I’ve never experienced anything close to choking on my own tongue.
I know the song/meme, but that makes me wonder, what would you consider to be the smartest way to die?
Old age
Wait some people can’t do all of them?
I can’t pass the first stage
