Hey guys, its my firs post on this forum..
someone with a different concentration technique could give an advice? thank you!
the Buddha explained the noble practitioner attains jhana by making 'letting go' or the 'non-attached mind' the meditation object
And what is the faculty of concentration? There is the case where a disciple of the noble ones, making it his object to let go, attains concentration, attains singleness of mind.

trying to watch breathing can be problematic because it controls the breathing & can cause distortions in mind/body awareness
but if you learn to let go with a silent mind, the mind will still become aware of the breathing in a natural automatic way
this also allows the body-mind-breath relationship to develop harmoniously, without friction or sluggishness
that is advice i can offer you
best wishes
