How to Realign your Spine with Boosted Breathing
When Cheeky Monkey was 22 he went to his one and only chiropractor for his one and only chiropractic appointment. This big gorilla was a champion discus thrower (Commonwealth Games GOLD Medal, 1960, Rome Olympic finals), chiropractor, acupuncturist and naturopath, but a gentle giant.
To Cheeky's utter surprise he did not jerk the back. He pressed reflex points on the back and it straightened. No pain!
Then he said "Because of the way you walk, you'll be in a wheelchair by the time you're 40. If I jerk your back as much as you need it, which is on a daily basis, you will get tendon and ligament inflammation and be in a wheelchair by the time you're 40. If you jerk your back the same will happen. The only thing you can do is relax your back straight, and I can't help you there."
He was honest and correct. So Cheeky found a way to relax his back straight using reflex points, not on the back, because he could not reach his own, but in his mouth, through breathing and, even more strongly, through Boosted Breathing.

There are 18 central bones or sets of bones in your body, and 18 sets of peripheral bones. There are nine, Yang (up the top) central Tongue Positions and nine, Yin (down the bottom) Tongue Positions. Each Tongue Position relates to a central bone or set of bones.
There are nine sets of peripheral bones on the right of your body (Yang) and nine on the left (Yin). So, altogether, you have 36 Tongue Positions to learn to govern your skeletal structure.
1 Coccyx Tongue Position
Your coccyx is your tailbone. When you sit down hard it can move out of alignment, causing anal fissures, hemorrhoids, itchy bum and other unpleasant symptoms.
To realign it place the tip of your tongue outside your mouth and onto the skin above your top lip. This groove is called your philtrum.
2 Sacrum Tongue Position
Your sacrum is the base bone of your spine. It's shaped like a triangle pointing downwards. It has holes in it for nerves which run to your genitals, hips, legs and feet. When it's misaligned you may feel all sorts of symptoms to do with those body parts, such as flat feet, bunions, callouses, cracked heels, sore knees from arthritis or bursitis, aching hips and sciatica.

Boosted Breathing
There are nine pure vowels - air, ah, aw, er, ee, uu, oo, a and o. They correlate with your Peripheral Structures and your nine Peripheral Tongue Positions.
There are nine centralising sounds are semi-consonants - r, l, k, n, m, b, p, f and v. They correlate with your Central Structures and your nine, Centralising Tongue Positions.
When you Laugh Down on "eem" for example, all your joints relax, refresh and rejuvenate. You take the periphery to your centre to realign yourself.
If instead you Laugh Down on "mee" you take the centre to the periphery and disperse the excess concentration of your energy, which you may be stuck in. You lighten up, letting go of lumps such as coagulations (blood clots), cancer tumours, swellings (edema, varicose veins) and cysts (pimples, boils, infectious rashes such as hives and welts). That's why Laughing Down is so good for releasing cancer and wrinkles (from a tense concentration of the forehead).

Elemental Sounds
As you have read before on this website, some sounds are for Elements. Elements are around the outside of love, which is on the outside of happiness. The flow goes from useful to loving to happy. This grows body parts.
The opposite flow goes outwards, from happy to loving to useful. This lightens things up and releases dis-eases.
