"Easy" to do, hard to explain.

The purpose is to favour abdominal control (diaphragm, solar plexus... the entire "gut") of the sound over the mouth.

So, keeping your throat and mouth as open as possible, start and stop notes (long, then shorter) by blowing from the belly. Your shoulders and chest should be relaxed. Don't expect any pretty sounds!
