Look also at question 16. It can be potentially dangerous to do so. What you are trying to do, if you do as desrcibed is a direct embouchure change. One of the big advantages and IMO THE most powerfull thing about BE is that it is indirect. Your lip muscles get a chance to incorporate and get used to different movements. If you do this too fast, you risk total breakdown. The best advise I can give is: be patient and if you play music, do it with what feels best at that moment. Chances are that after a couple of months this might not be your 'old' embouchure anymore.
