Khecarī mudrā
Yogic practice involving mudra, mantra and sadhana / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khecarī mudrā (Sanskrit, खेचरी मुद्रा)[1][2] is a hatha yoga practice carried out by curling the tip of the tongue back into the mouth until it reaches above the soft palate and into the nasal cavity. The tongue is made long enough to do this with many months of daily tongue stretching and, in some versions of the practice, by gradually severing the frenulum of the tongue with a sharp implement over a period of months.
