How your tongue affects your strength & vision.
Can you believe your tongue position affects strength & vision?! Try for yourself!
There are so many things about our body that we don’t even consider as long as they work well enough to get the job done.
This week you can test what may be one of the more surprising ‘things’ your brain cares about - your tongue position. As it turns out, your brain prefers it in a specific place, and will thank you with performance increases.
As always, you don’t have to trust us, you can and should try it for yourself. Let us know how it goes and how surprising it is!
P.S. You also may be surprised how challenging it is to keep your tongue where you want, but keep training it because the benefits are worth it.

- Physiological context & impact.
- Tongue science & parameters.
- Tongue position & easy to try drill demo.

another way to find the place is: 1) close your lips (they should remain closed throughout) 2) make a humming sound, alternating between an 'm' sound and an 'n' sound for several seconds 3) eventually stop on the 'n' sound 4) stop humming and open your mouth .....your tongue should be in the optimal position
I have been working on tongue posture, proper swallowing patterns, and breathing and have found my spinal and cervical extension has improved, as well as my speech being clearer and more pronounced. Definitely believe in the profound influence the tongue can have on one's quality of life.

I recommend Mewing exercises, you can check out Dr. Mike Mew’s Orthotropics channel.
Educative video. The tongue exercise is elementary step to khechari mudra, an ancient practice to calm the mind.
Tonque calisthenics- close your mouth rotate your tongue in a circle behind your lips 15X to the right, then 15x to the left and feel the burn.
This is the page I didn't know I needed.

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "exercises to help a stuttering child" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Deyarper Especial Dominance - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to get rid of your stuttering once and for all without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.

It seems like a more precise version, though. Mewing mostly just says, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. This shows you how to do it right, or at least clams to.

@@JohnMoseley mewing is just a fad name for the tropic premise. The tropic premise is laid out in John mews paper it states the full tongue should be up on the roof of the mouth, teeth lightly touching, and lips sealed.

nice to copy-paste the study links in description.
i can literally feel asymmetry of my jaw/teeth/skull altogether buy placing my tongue in the Spot. the way it lays - clearly, one half of it is more intact and touches the teeth differently. Discovered mewing a while ago but only started adopting it recently, so it is very interesting to see this video as a different perspective on the same thing and without the term "mewing" involved. just Zeh Spot. anyway, I'm practicing it regularly now just as an experiment. only about a week in. Keeping my tongue in Zeh spot as much as I can consciously do so. on average 2-3- hrs a day. sometimes more like 7-8. it is very hard to drink beer or smoke or both, especially both, while practicing this. so i strongly recommend everyone and me in particular to never look in the mirror sober. because you are perfect the way you are!
Check out posture pro eye and feet coordination exercises along with this too.
thanks this is great
Thanks for the video! I have a question, what parte of the tongue should be touching the roof, all only the back the middle or the tip? Thank you very much!
30% increase is a huge difference thx 👌

Was there ever a part 2?
Hi!! Im sorry maybe i didnt got it but which will be the position of the tongue ? the incorrect possition is near the teeth without touch it?
I can only hold this position 1 time before my gag reflex is stimulated. Even holding the correct position stimulates my gag, how do I correct this.
This is really interesting thanks for this video

Where's part two please?
I’m getting my tongue tie and lip tie cut this month , will it make keeping my tongue on the roof easier ?
im 30 and i always thought i have forward neck posture and bad breathing and literally neck breather. i didn't use my tongue at all.
So not just the tip of the tounge but tounge up in all of the hard palate?
Hey Doc. did you like the studies mentioned?
Great
When I do that my tongue doesn't at all touch my front teeth. Wasn't that the point? Don't get it
so true. sosososososo true. tongue is very important..use tongue..
Saying sing aloud with the premise one the "n" part leads your tongue to a simolar spot, i don't know how precise that is though.
Very informative But why ru in so much hurry u can explain it slowly
Just wanted to say the studies quoted have a pool of 18 participants each. Also i wish there was a diagram. It’s curious
My ex gf kept wanting me to find the spot too. Thanks for the help.
I can’t do it
Do you think it could help with producing more saliva? My mouth is very dry and sticky and only producing a little saliva due to mold exposure that affected my nervous system.

Good question with a less than satisfactory answer... Maybe! Autonomic dysfunction may need to be looked at from a variety of perspectives so we don't know if this particular exercise will be helpful but certainly worth discussing with your healthcare team. Good luck in your rehab!
I can put my tongue in that position, and hold it there-but what if it feels like it's gagging me a bit? Then what. Maybe it's some structural issue? But what is the step to deal with it? I dont even know what kind of doctor (covered by insurance) would deal with that kind of issue. (I've been going to a chiropracter, and do have a referral for a pulmonologist soon...). Thoughts on next steps?
Just say “No”, and where the tip if your tongue lands with the “N” sound, is the proper placement, then press the rest of your tongue on roof of mouth.
Excellent thank you for hating this information
It feels like this is where my tongue always sets and always has ???

It actually opens nasal passages. Im almond 20 and for most of my life i struggled with breathing at night and sometimes woke up at the middle of the nights because i had trouble breathing. I have practicing this for couple of months and within a week or two, u might get the benefits. This practice is nowadays called mewing. There are many benefits that u can search up online. The trend was starting by Dr Mike Mew, check out his videos, he talks about everything related to tongue posture.
