martti,
i'd be curious to know at what pitch your larynx rides up. does it ride up at the beginning of singing regardless of pitch? does it ride up gradually as you increase pitch or, does it suddenly jump up at a certain pitch?
how do you know your larynx being high is a problem? there are various schools of thought on the subject. although, i find the more i know about sls the more i like it, the estill aproach says a higher larynx is a must for higher notes.
the problem with methods, including sls, is they tend to try to have an explaination for everything that becomes a standard. what you feel while saying or singing 'mmmmmmmmmmm' is of little consequence. it is what you do that is important. your perceptions of what happens is going to be in relation to your personal experiences. for example: broccoli is broccoli whether one person says it tastes clean and fresh and another says it tastes like wood.
if you decide that your raising larynx is bad, i would suggest you figure out when and, more importantly, why it raises (or, more to the point, why you raise it). it could simply be a misconception on your part.
