To what end yoga? To what end…
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’m guessing you could blow some wicked tuneful raspberries
In stereo too
Oh. Carry on then.
Plfptflptflptftlpfplt
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 🙃
…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.
My brother in Buddha… how about we don’t do that.
”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
Saving a schoolbus full of orphans by diverting them into a tour bus of lonely childless parents from your motorized death bed
Would it be possible to stretch a different organ to reach a different cavity?
for some, yes. for you, no.
I will still try. A little lubrication would help. Would You do the honor, or will your mom do it, as usual?
They call it jelking and it doesn’t seem to work from what I’ve seen online.
I already can put a thumb up my ass
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.
I did it gradually as well, I’ve never had problems with choking on my own tongue.
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 haven’t had a frenulum since infancy (believe it or not, from a near fatal teething incident) and have always been able to do this. I used to frak people out by making my tongue disappear while I was a kid.
Okay so like. Wtf does it feel like. And does it make you sneeze like crazy?
It doesn’t make me sneeze and it’s not uncomfortable unless you recently ate spicy or acidic food.
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
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.
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.
this is probably delightful if you ever get a flu or cold
Seems more like a delightful new way to give yourself sinus infections.
Or auto-asphyxiation.
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.
wait hold tf up you can STRETCH your tongue???
Its a muscle like any other
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…
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. 😏
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.
My legs feel weak from just seeing the diagrams
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.
Wait some people can’t do all of them?
I can’t pass the first stage
