You don't stop the air with your tongue. You keep the air flow going, but you stop the vibration of the reed with your tongue. It's best to practice this very slowly at first. While blowing, put the tip of your tongue on the tip of the reed, so the sound stops, but keep blowing. When you take your tongue off the reed, your sound should resume without any pause. Like I said, this takes slow practice to get the concept down before working up to speed. I used to tongue like you do, but my teacher sorted me out and now I'm tonguing faster than I would have thought possible!
