Wow, I'm impressed by the amount of people who've had success with the Fettah doc! It's very well written, but I'm having the hardest time making my epiglottis and soft palette move independent of one another. In other words, I do the mouth fill in Step 6, but can't get the air to go through my nose. Anyone have any other tips or advice?
I've tried doing the "Guh" sound as jome suggested, but the phenomena he described with empty lungs is happening to me. I'm actually opening my epiglottis when I pinch my nose and do the "Guh" sound with my tongue, so with empty lungs, the air just gets sucked down into my lungs, not into my e-tubes/sinuses.
Whoops...
Also...step 5 and Appendix A describe packing. I'm having a hard time figuring this out too. It seems my tongue just wants to be a useless hunk of flesh...I can't get it to act as a piston, as described in the document. Anyone have any other tips with regards to this? I mean...do I absolutely have to learn how to pack to perform the frenzel technique??
Thanks!
