Dear Members!
I heard that it is taught during scuba diving courses how to equalize air pressure in the nose when it is not protected underwater while a person is in a face-up position.
I know that for a lot of people, closing the soft palate + pressing with the diaphragm + pressing the end of the tounge to the area behind the upper front teeth generates enough pressure in the nasal cavity and sinuses so that water doesn't go into them in any position, including being face-up.
But what about the people who have to find balance by exhalation with opened soft palate? I mean, pushing just enough air to avoid water going up the nose, but without releasing a bubble.
I have been trying and trying and trying for half a year now. I also had a septum deviance and nasal polyps surgery just because of this ability... I still couldn't find balance. Ohh sorry, I found it once, after 2 weeks of practice and never again after that. And I remember when I succeeded, I didn't even pay attention, it came kind of automatically...
2 things bother me about this... The first one is that doctors told me that this should be a natural reflex, which means it is not that dependent on human will (example above, that I succeeded when I didn't give a crap)
The second one is, that everyone who found balance once in their lives, could control it from that time and improved, but not me...
What is wrong with me, seriously? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
