Tongue Tied
\nby Kirsten Harris<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a funny little question
\nThat left unchecked will cause congestion
\nLet me ask you, \u2018Where\u2019s your tongue?\u2019
\nClamped to mouth\u2019s roof you\u2019ll be high strung!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s best to let your tongue go south
\nResting in your lower mouth!
\nIf yours is held and pressed up tight
\nYou will never feel quite right!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tongue Up’s part of the startle pattern
\nBest let it loose in the oral cavern
\nIf it\u2019s up, you\u2019re stuck in fear
\nLet it rest! I hope that\u2019s clear?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Up tongue’s reacting from a fright
\nNeck, shoulders, back become too tight
\nHorrid habit! Be aware
\nDown with tongues to clear the air<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tongue up habit clamps your jaw
\nAt night your teeth you may well gnaw!
\nYour neck will tighten, your face will fix
\nThis grimace habit is best to nix<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your shoulders seize, that clamps your lungs
\nAll from an up held uptight tongue!
\nTongue tied to the roof right now dispense
\nImmediately you\u2019ll feel less tense<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just rest it in a ‘low jaw’ place
\nThink a smile and feel the space
\nYour tongue will widen when you smile
\nYour face will soften in a while<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Breathing opens, energy increases
\nWhat do you notice when your tongue releases?
\nIt may at first feel big, weird and wet …
\nHave you got the message yet?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The world will feel a better place
\nWhen tongue’s at rest in smiling face
\nAsk your friends \u2018where is your tongue\u2019
\nTo change the habit is good fun<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"EPSON<\/a><\/p>\n

Growl now if you\u2019re a stress puppy?
\nI bet you\u2019re habit is tongue \u2018uppy!\u2019
\nFamily rows, disputes and fights?
\nPerhaps the family tongues not right<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see it when friends thinking\u2019s grim
\nTongue up, jaw locked, tension within
\n‘Psychic glimpse\u2019 of things not right?
\nFriends minds you\u2019ll \u2018read\u2019 with this stress insight<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The good news: things will change right now
\nWith this wee gem of tongue know how
\nSo down with tongues! You’ve heard me right
\nThe tongue up habit’s just uptight!<\/p>\n
