Doing these exercises while humming speeds up the healing process :) The Humming Effect Book...

I am a trained singer. During our vocal technique lessons we had to do several excercises with using toungue, and feeling how it connects to the diafragm.

Thanks again for great tips. Did you know that the teeth are related to many organs in the body and if you roll/rub the tongue to massage the gums in front of top teeth, behind top teeth, behind and infront of bottom teeth you are actually massaging the organs. Do this often..

Doing tongue exercises are some of the most effective face yoga exercises, and Mewing, thank you!

My tongue resting at the roof of my mouth has been the game changer for my asthma /breathing in general and has allowed me to breathe more deeply whilst breathing efficiently via my nose . I’m well aware of the importance of my tongue (colour, tone,texture etc) as an indicator of the health of our bodies through years of Chinese Medicine TCM . Oh and great at keeping the tone of your jawline!! 🙏🏽

Great video...I really like the tongue out pointed toward ceiling (great work out and it's playful, like being a true kid). This is such a good reminder! Comments setion is excellent, too, including what top commenter said about roll/rub tongue in front and behind teeth is massaging organs. After doing tongue roll/rub, spectacular natural clear diction and the right words just come out when on phone or in meetings at work or talking out loud to myself brainstorming. Also, great for neck and jaw: I've been laying on my back with my head hanging over edge of bed and lifting my head up 50 times. I saw this tip on video about increasing blood to head for greater hair health; tip was by woman in her 70s who does it 100 times a day to keep looking 20 years younger.

I thought about the Hindu god Kali when I saw you with your tongue sticking out 😛 . Perhaps Kali knew something about proper neck alignment Lol 😂. As a dental hygienist with a long history of chronic neck pain, I am fascinated, and am going to do these exercises. I also loved that you talked about chewing food using both sides of the mouth. The act of chewing has natural cleansing properties. I can easily discern when a patient chews on only one side of their mouth, because the neglected side will often have much more plaque and inflammation , compared to the other side.

Just doing this a bit has allowed me to swallow more freely again - which I knew was a struggle because of neck & tissue misalignment. Been a massage therapist for 20 years, just retired and now doing another job which is also messing up my neck and shoulders in a different way lol. I am absolutely elated and grateful to find you here! Many thanks 🙂🧡

Mewing! Yaay. Love these short vids. It's funny but the simplest habits (that the majority of us don't do or don't even know) are the most healthiest and preventative for our bodies. Thank you!

I'm so grateful I found this today! At 30, I'm still trying to stop sucking my thumb and have always had a double chin AND thyroid issues. I started doing some improved alignment a year ago and it improved my singing and breathing! I'm hoping to heal my whole face and improve TMJ issues. What a beautiful start to my day!

My husband appreciates the tongue-control as well ;)

I love you both and obsessed with all your information. God bless! Keep it coming, you are a gift

My 14 year old son did this therapy for 12 months after having his tongue tie clipped (level 4) Do NOT wait to correct a tongue tie, do it at an early age. He’s a whole different human after the procedure ❤️

Thanks a lot for this information this helped my child who struggles with talking

very useful, I have been struggling with my tongue repeatedly returning and exploring a tooth cavity, which was part of massive mouth trauma year ago, I now see how it may be linked to me breaking my back and C2 & 3 a few years ago, and would explain the neck aches and headaches, as the tongue is continually out of alignment while it creates the weird sensation in my mouth where the tooth is missing and the gum is concave after several surgeries, will be practicing this exercise - privately!! - thanks for putting yourself through this for us :)

Great tips. I have been doing face yoga and tongue exercises every day for years and it's amazing how doing a different exercise hits the muscles in a totally different way. Thank you.

I have markers of Scleroderma and it has affected my mouth. I do daily tongue and mouth exercises to maintain full function in my mouth.

I have been bending over a table for 28 years! Thank you! This absolutely resonates with me! Grateful!!

Albert Einstein was on to something! 😅

This is brilliant. Thank you. I have long had neck problems and have developed a sagging chin. These exercises will definitely be on my daily 'to do' list. Anymore tongue exercises would be most welcome. A much under-rated muscle. Can't think of life without it. Stay well.

Thanks very much for your input God bless you I have doing tongue exercises for only 3 weeks my face it has change dramatically

That was amazing guys, thank you so much.

perfect help. Thank you so much 💓

So grateful for this I like the simplicity of it and have incorporated this exercise it into my daily schedule will let you know the changes after a month or two but can already feel my alignment change with the conscious tongue placement and exercises ❤thanks for the education 🎉

Have you ever noticed that vegetarian animals that are large like a giraffe or a hippopotamus, know how to use their tongues to break off leaves to be able to eat. Imagine the strength that they have in their neck and tongue.

phenomenal information beautifully presented. Thank you, bless you!

Cool Video for singers! Thanks!

I’m actually quite an amazing trained singer my whole 31 years of my own life that I’ve had been through such an emotional struggle for more like 10 years when I found out I was diagnosed with tonsillitis and I was in a very depressing stage for when I knew the thought of losing my voice forever was going to affect my whole singing career but I couldn’t had been so very lucky I came out of surgery but it probably effected me emotionally so much I thought I didn’t have the confidence in myself in my heart that I would’ve had been quite an amazing singer like any other artist in this world that I look up to on this earth

Note...what does alighment mean? Align the ears and neck over the center of the diaphram. Align the hips with a pelvic tilt as well and the tongue will stay still.

I had a tonsillectomy in my early 40, the doctor sowed the left side of my tongue where my tonsillectomy was.

Wear tape over your mouth when you sleep - helps a ton!

Love this! I am always biting my tongue and lips while eating. I also choke on my saliva sometimes just laying down. I do have alot of tension in my neck as a massage therapist of 23 yrs. I am having some thyroid issues. Listening to this. I feel like this is my issue. I do yoga and do stretch the tongue with lion pose, fish pose, bow and camel but i think i will also include this. I definitely am always tight in my neck and shoulders. You are amazing! And we can all use a laugh more often. Thx

Phenomenal

❤thank u!

Interesting, I'm new to Block Therapy and tried this exercise sticking out my tongue and holding it there - when I let my tongue go back inside my mouth it automatically 'docked' in the correct position. Doesn't stay there for very long so will continue with the exercise.

When I tried both exercises I became dizzy after about the second breath.

Thank you. Didn’t realise how vital this muscle is. I really struggle with swallowing. I’m sure this will help. ❤️

Giraffe is the first thing that comes to mind😂

I felt it in my 👂

Great, will I be able to eat icecream through a picket fence?

where can I find a proper tongue exercises?

May I ask should I rest my tongue at the hollow behind the ridge? This seems quite far back. I read about mewing and the position of the tongue is behind or just touching the front teeth. Which is better please

Dr you are interested not the old fashioned were so secret but are young beautiful people thank about health wellness love it ❤❤🙏🙏 Dimpho Johanna Johannesburg I am 62yrs I am smart inside out

When i looked up and stuck my tongue out it hurt on the back, bottom, right side of my head.

How many times a day should i practice these 2 exercises please

Are you meant to be breathing through the nose while sticking the tongue out? It seems the breath wants to go out through the mouth unless you close your lips on the tongue! Also it seems to make breathing from the diaphragm much more difficult. Is that normal? Thanks for addressing this, it's very interesting and may have something to do with a singing voice becoming very weak?!

If I try to keep my tongue in the roof of mt mouth for a long time, my neck, my jaw and even my head hurts. It causes way too much tension

Thanks for the tongue exercise. When we put the tongue out we can only breathe through our mouth not through the nose. Is that ok?

Does this go back to if a baby is breast or bottle fed? Just a thought......

My headache almost dissapeared thanks to a stronger tounge, but for me it was tounge circles and gargling with water that solved it, is that something good to?

Mew! Dr Mike mew !!!!

Will strengthening the tongue help with snoring and/or sleep apnea?

I find this much easier to do if I close my lips around my stuck-out tongue. That way I can easily breathe through my nose too. Otherwise my throat and lips get too dry. Would I still get benefits doing it this way?

The masseter is the strongest muscle of the body...

Talking about and with the tongue Or is it , talking with and about the tongue

I can only breathe 2-3 times with my tongue out before I start yawning.

Lol she literally explained why people should mew 😂

I have an overbite. Is it still safe to put my tongue on the roof?

😜😅🤗

Sorry but I didn't understand, what's d purpose of sticking ur tongue out. Please help. Thank you.

HOW ABOUT OLD PEOPLE THAT CHEW WITH FRONT 4 OR 6 THEETH LOL
