"Once in a blue moon, I will still experience it while sitting (but without the technique)."
                  
Same for me -- very infrequently with no rhyme or reason.  I saw a diagram of taste buds in the tongue somewhere that showed sections for different sensations such as sweet, bitter, sour, etc., and so I attributed the occasional sweetness to a sporadic stimulation of the sweet section... that or a bit of left over toothpaste coming unstuck from between my teeth.
               
I fell for the "behind the uvula" fad during the "meditate 24/7" era.  Crammed it back physically until the tendon on the bottom rear of my tongue split slightly (forgot the medical term).  What a surprise when my tongue first went back there!  Then it became fairly easy to park it there for extended periods of time.
                   
As with no light of a thousand suns, no music of the spheres beyond ordinary biological functions in a sea of mostly water and no profound primordial vibration... no manna.
                                          
Just the bait of a manipulative, exploitative malignant narcissist. 
                                       
PS. I have to admit, though, that there were times I managed to bootstrap myself into frenetic devotional fervors and psyche myself into imagining and believing -- "knowing" -- so much of it.
                                                                                            
PSS.  And just like Cynthia with her tongue, I tend to default to focusing on my breath in circumstances where my undivided attention is important.  Thirty-four year habits are hard to break, even after a decade.  Plus the fact that it works.  But that doesn't make it my salvation.
