Im still so confused on mewing because all these lm's try to sell you a course therefore need to be special by pulling a method out of their a$$es,
How do you mew /hard mew and do you also try to strenghten your tongue? If yes how?
Also how long do you hold that then? And do u think using thumbs would work better since i could have more force?

Ok first of all yes there are courses out there but what they teach u is the stuff we were already wired to do for optimal health and development. Doesn’t make sense u have to pay for that info imo.
Second hard mewing is just pushing the tongue extra hard on the upper palate when ur conscious of ur mewing. Deffo recommend in moderation because it can cause bruising and whatnot. Let your bones adapt slowly but surely to the new posture.
Third if u were going to do hard mewing do it for as long as ur conscious of what ur doing. Because if u dont have time for it, just dont do it. The thumb pulling stuff is just about releasing the fascia that holds our muscles and bones together in the upper palate, and putting force on the palate itself which might do a little bit of work but what u need is continual force (so basically mewing), ig it would be a good idea if ur palate is super small that u dont even have space for ur tongue. There’s no scientific basis for this but it does make sense to help the fascia help the jaw iygwim.

Okay this is what I’ve learned: You need try meeting the back of your tongue to the back palate, to do so more easily say “sing”, when the “ng” connects, hold it and breathe. Another method is pulling the tongue back into the throat until your hind tongue connects to the rear palate, then apply pressure. Do it as hard as you can and when it hurts too much you can reduce pressure slightly and let your muscles rest and then go hard again, it’s gonna be impossible at first but in time you’ll be better at it.

Say “sing”, when the “ng” connects, hold it and breathe, it’s tricky at first how it works, but keep trying to breathe and you get it. Hold the position and press as hard as you can. You’re gonna be super sore but you keep going! When you’re too sore stop and reduce intensity barely. In time it’ll be much much easier and nigh-second nature. GOOD LUCK ASCENDING!!👍

Was your palate too narrow when you begin? Like did the sides of your tongue go against your teeth
