If it serves to put you in that place where thought slows down then it's fine. Just keep in mind that like any mantra or any other meditation technique, once you reach the place of quiet stillness, don't force yourself to keep focusing on the breath. If breath focus is the tool you apply to get into meditation then that focus must be abandoned just like any other tool once that threshold of meditation appears. Holding on to it at that point becomes counterproductive.
