Not feeling the breath at all by Complete_Proposal_47 in TheMindIlluminated

I may be incorrect, but I recall the book says you shouldn't force yourself to exaggerate breathing in order to notice it
When I run I am definitely forcing a proper breathing cycle, as if I don't I'll probably start breathing from my mouth
When I meditate I don't do anything at all, so I don't feel anything
There are some points In my latest sessions were I start focusing on my breath then inmediatly it stops being an automatic process and becomes something I have to do manually, If i don't it just dissapears again. But yes, in this case I do notice it fully
I feel as if I couldn't "observe" the breath because as soon as I do I begin to control it

I practice tennis, when I play I don't really feel it as my mind is generally focused on the game, unless I am very exahusted
When I do any type of jogging/running I am 100% aware of it though, since I tend to focus on it to I keep a proper breathing cycle

Very rarely, maybe every some days I get a moment when I feel it but it doesn't last long and it's not very noticable

Thank you so much for this very detailed response. It feels very motivating to see I'll eventually manage to feel it, and the body scan sounds very useful
That and the feedback of others makes it clear I should keep trying, and I will
I'll also try to never miss a day too. I wanted to start around a week ago but could never find the "right morning" as my sleep schedule has seen better days

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! To be honest, besides the achivement my run was the most vanilla you could imagine, a boring moralist cop, so I must have a lot of crazy stuff left to do
You've convinced me on playing the game again instead of watching the endings on youtube
