I am having continued success with this type of meditation all-be-it slowly. I expected this though. I find the mind trying to build a construct and also departmentalize the breath as I concentrate awareness on it.
Each time I merely bring my concentration and awareness to the thought pattern and ask the pertinent questions of this thinking. In no time the thought disappears only to come back again later.
I would expect this to be a normal process since we've been taught since childhood to use our minds to categorize and departmentalize absolutely everything we do.
The mind seems to dread anything it cannot departmentalize or categorize. It is merely what it does with everything. Because of this phenomena there seems to be no place for mind in the presence of true awareness.
