speech problem please help me =(

[ernie81]

Hi I was wondering if there is any help for my speech problem that I have. I am now 30 years old and been having this problem since I was a child. I am not quite sure what its called or even if there is a name for the problem I have. Im aware of my speech problem. Some symptoms that i have is short sentences, trouble pronouncing some words and can't really keep a long conversation. This has been affecting my life in different ways such as relationship with wife,family, friends and work. Its something that also puts me in depression thinking why can't i be like others. If there is any treatment for my speech please let me know because it will change my life. :-( Thank you for your time ***@****

I would try hava's exercises. His advice to my husband was so helpful as to be almost a cure.

See a speech therapist, or if it's not appealing to you, join a local toastmasters club and practice speaking.  Practice makes perfect.

[hava]

For your speech problem, follow this exercise, four times a day.Drink warm water and avoid cold drinks.
Roar like a lion,very  loudly, three times a day.
Let me know your progress, after 3 weeks and then regularly, so I can help you further..

Ujjayi Pranayam : While breathing in, tighten throat(contract glotis) and there will be sound from back of throat, then drop chin(rest chin on chest), hold breath for abour 4 seconds.Then  chin up, close right nostril and slowly breath out through left nostril.
Duration: 5 – 21 times

Ujjayi pranayam detailed:
First exhale fully through the nose.
During inhalation your glottis should remain partially closed. Glottis is the opening between the vocal chords.While inhaling, produce a sound as if you are sobbing, by partially closing the glottis.(This is reverse of clearing your throat, where your are exhaling).
The face muscles should not be contracted during inhalation. Abdominal muscles should be well controlled. Inhale smoothly and uniformly.
After deep inhalation, retain your breath as long as possible. While retaining breath do Jalandhara bandh (lock your chin, touch your chin with your chest).Initially, try to retain breath for 2 to  5 seconds. Gradually increase the time of retention of breath.
After retaining breath, first open the Jalandhar bandh(chin up) and then, close right nostril and exhale slowly through left nostril. The glottis should all along remain partially closed.This is one set of ujjayi.
Do this for 5 to 21 times everyday.
