MEWING
Tongue up. Teeth together. Lips sealed.
THE JAW
Every chart is a jawline. Most of them are recessed.
THE BROW
Bone that grew because it was told to hold the line.
LIPS SEALED
Nose breathing. Nothing escapes, nothing gets in.
HOW TO MEW
Four steps. Hold them until they stop being steps.
- 1
01 Close your mouth
Lips together, teeth lightly touching. No clenching — nothing here should hurt.
- 2
02 Tongue to the roof
The whole tongue, not just the tip. Back third included. That is the part everyone misses.
- 3
03 Breathe through your nose
If you cannot hold it for a minute, that is the drill. Build up from there.
- 4
04 Keep it there
Resting posture, not an exercise. It counts when you stop thinking about it.
THE STARE
Hold the position. Do not open your jaw.
THE ANATOMY
Four parts doing the work. None of them move on their own.
The palate Maxilla
The roof of the mouth is the floor of the upper jaw. Every hour the tongue spends flat is an hour it spends not pressing here.
The back third Posterior tongue
The tip is the easy part and the part everyone gets. The back third is what actually holds, and what nobody feels until they look for it.
The lower jaw Mandible
Teeth lightly together keeps it forward. Left hanging it drifts back, and the line under the chin goes with it.
The anchor Hyoid
The only bone in the body that touches no other. The tongue hangs off it, and where it sits is where the airway sits.
THE VAULT
He mews everywhere. That is the whole personality.
