I almost swallow my tongue practicing the bends… a never ending practice routine.

Try to close your throat and slightly increase your breathing, without exerting force with your mouth or tongue! I like what I call a guide vowel, where you try to reproduce the vowel U to repeat this movement in the throat at the moment of the Bend.
