Hi, dedicating this next segment to Louis Armstrong, We're going to call this one Satchimo. So this is the segment where we're going to expand and really feel how full our lips and our cheeks can be. If you think of the way that he plays his instrument, you could see the extension in the cheeks. And anybody that plays an instrument, you know how much you can actually stretch the face. So I'd like to have us imaging that we're playing a horn, by just puffing up the face. You actually feel. . . relaxing slowly. If you do this with friends, you might start laughing which is just great. Because laughter is the best medicine. It?s the greatest face lift you can have. So when you're exploring though with this round large fully oxygenated face, you'll realize that you can put more and more air in to that cavity. I'm going to also use a balloon. To simply play with how can I extend and stretch the muscles of my face by just using air. Just using oxygen and a little bit of gentle pressure. So the idea is I'm not trying to pass out or hold my breath, not holding my breath. I'm allowing breath to come in. I am holding it right there, but I'm not holding to a point that feels like I'm passing out. And so I'm also going to use the balloon now to see if we can extend. The idea is that the face can have this buoyant look. Just by blowing up the balloon I can feel all of the muscles, the subtle tiny muscles right around the lips.
