I got bored and discovered this about 10 years ago, before I ever knew it was a real thing in hatha yoga.
Daaammn babe what that tongue do?
Actually nevermind, don’t make the tongue do…
That’s one way to stop snoring…
Would it be possible to stretch a different organ to reach a different cavity?
for some, yes. for you, no.
That call it jelking and it doesn’t seem to work from what I’ve seen online.
Keep practicing until you can work your tongue all the way up and out the nostrils.
I’ve seen people in videos online that could do it. I’m not there yet and I’m not sure I ever will or really want to be. It’d be a neat party trick if I could.
Imagine if someone with a bifurcated tongue did it and had one coming out of each nostril.
To what end yoga? To what end…
I’m guessing you could blow some wicked tuneful raspberries
In stereo too
Oh. Carry on then.

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.
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 can do that!
To a degree at least, just got gratually better over the last few years without deliberate stretching or severing anything. Altho I mostly use it to get slime out of my throat instead of caughing. Now just tried it to get up to my nose, nothing there at the moment.
I guess I am almost at the “third stage” distance wise.
It helps to exhale quickly to get the meatflap out ontop of the thongue. (Second picture)
I’ve did research if one could choke on their own thongue several times, because I was worried that it would “fall down there” or get stuck or sth, like a dislocated jaw or a scrotum torsion or sth.
Same here. But I can reach the start of my sinuses. The discomfort vanishes with regular training. I was a bored child.
I can also pick my tonsil stones out with my tongue. X)
I did it gradually as well, I’ve never had problems with choking on my own tongue.
”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
dang… turbomewing
My jaw is the same size its always been. 😂
Question, would this make being sick and congested better? Could you keep your nose clean of the stuff you can’t blow out normally? Or is that a closed sinus issue
It makes things easier for me for sure. I naturally produce more mucus than most people anyway. I’m not really sure, maybe it’s minor dust allergies?
I’m utterly disgusted and curious
…but why
Do you ask why when someone builds a castle in Minecraft?
Edit not criticizing you, just making a joke 😅
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.
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.
A bit like breaking your arm and dislocating your shoulders so you can finally lick your elbow.
I guess I was just lucky in that I was born with a boneless tongue. /s 🙃
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.
Now this is some pro level mewing.
I don’t think mewing works, my jaw is the same size. 😔
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. 😏
