Has anyone here tried the Passive Airflow Technique?

How was it and what success did you achieve?

Passive airflow works for virtually all people when done correctly AND in conjunction with other aspects of its program [i.e. nutrition, etc;]
However, many people experience great difficulty learning to do it correctly in all situations--and become frustrated after some weeks or months...giving in to their stuttering and blaming the technique.
In order to truly experience passive airflow and gently assimilate it into your life so that it can become an easy part of you--that, as a byproduct, makes you fluent, you should work closely with someone --preferably a coach, therapist, speech pathologist, or loved one--who is fluent--who learns about the technique with you--and who counsels you through each step in the learning/assimilation process for 1-2 years.. Those left on their own..or those left to randomly contact someone now and then---tend to not be able to keep up--and give in to the fears, frustrations, and psychoemotional complexities coupled w/ learning the technique and changing one's self-image & ego.
The technique itself, however, does render stuttering a physiological impossibility for virtual all users. Getting it to be used correctly under stress is the "trick."
