Mary, I share your technique - those simple words can often revive/remind a tired embouchure!
Mark, when I think of the lip shape, such as the forward 'puckering' of an embouchure, I think I know what you are talking about. I find if I roll my lips in further (a 'flatter' lip shape), I fatigue a lot faster and find I have less control than maintaining an embouchure that is more 'fleshy', which I think relates to what you are describing.
Funny, after so many years as a flautist, I came to the same realisation on that instrument, and that many people lack the tonal control on flute due to an embouchure that is too flat shaped and thin, and not fleshy enough. I know these are not technical terms, so I hope it makes sense!
