New to mewing, Success and concerns..

So i started out mewing circa 3 months ago, first it was really
kinda difficult since the palate was a bit narrow and i managed
to bite my tongue. Anyway, now my palatte seems to have gotten
wider, and the tongue locks in to the hard palette without any
trouble. What bothers me is getting that lower back tongue up on
the soft palette, either it blocks my airway, or gets to far
back, giving me gagging reflexes. It seems to be impossible to
get it up there without actually pushing hard, just pushing
firmly will make it drop down eventually. And i have been
struggling with this ever since i started :-\ :-\ any tips?

Hi! Mewing the same amount of time. The back of the tongue takes
more effort. Try and just do some so you aren't gagging... I
started out feeling very constricted too, and it does adjust
like he rest of the mouth. I don't think I can even fully "Mew"
with my structure, so do the best you can :)

Try to imagine that the root of your tongue was attached to the
insides of your ears, and then imagine lifting that visualized
part of the tongue all the way up, as if you were trying to push
the posterior tongue out of the ears and into the skull. Work
towards getting more and more of the root of the tongue up. You
should feel pressure around your ears and ramus, and you should
find that the higher up towards the ears you can reach with the
very root of the tongue, the less you will need to push with the
anterior tongue against the hard palate, because support from
the posterior tongue is enough to maintain the whole tongue in
the correct posture alone.
Does attempting this make you gag?

I imagine trying to swallow my tongue and that keeps my
posterior up

That seems like a good way too.

No i think im just a bit worried that im not doing it correct
then pushes it too far back. But everything seems to get better
month by month, so im just gonna keep practicing :)

In my opinion the further back & up you can push tongue the
better. The upper throat is so narrow area that cramming the
posterior tongue up there will simultaneously generate pressure
against the maxilla too. Like Th3No0n3 said, activating the very
backmost part of the posterior tongue feels kind of like trying
to swallow the tongue.
But doing whatever seems to work for you is of course the most
important thing.
