It takes some work, and practice to lengthen and stretch the frenulum (which is itself considered a direct influence on the health and condition of the tendons in the rest of the body) in order to comfortably reach the tip of the tongue back to where the hard palate ends and juts up into the soft palate. There’s a little indentation where you can then press the tip back towards your nose. This bridges the interior microcosmic orbit (‘crossing the magpie bridge’ as the daoists describe), not the superficial one depicted in tcm of the ren and du meridians. Pressing the tip of the tongue into this point will also stimulate the golden pill to form. Which is not saliva but a lump that will form in the back of your throat, which takes many gulps of saliva to pass it down, which with the tongue curled back you will be producing more of. With a good 40 minute of circle walking, of which about 25 minutes is fully circulating the interior microcosmic orbit, as one is cooling down is when I really press the point and forcibly pass one, roughly small almond size lump/ pill down. Which I believe correlates to daoist practices, where more is not necessarily better- one, maybe two pills per day, but wholly dependent upon the amount of time spent in the zone with open and flowing orbit. You can press the point and get a lump to form but there’s no mental or physical benefits to that without the flowing practice.
