>Do you find that your larynx lifts during this exercise? How do you keep it level? Have you tried to "gargle" using your vocal cords? ( You drown if you use water and the cords don't close properly!)
I do not worry about my larynx. It naturally does what it should, which is the benefit of the exercise. The whole point is to gargle using the vocal cords. If a little water gets down the wrong way, your body takes care of that by coughing. The protection from drowning is built in. :)
