I have also had it suggested to me to try this with water (preferably outside). That is, fill your cheeks with water, then practice spitting a stream of water out of your cheeks while breathing in through your nose. Once you can do that without drowning, then try it with just air. Then try it with your horn.
Circular breathing basically involves closing off your throat by keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth and blowing air out of your cheeks while breathing in through your nose, or so I've been told. I have never been able to master the darn thing, but I am still trying on my didjeridu.
