Counting breaths from 1 to 10 is not that easy, especially if you are tired or burned out. Personally, how far I can get from 1 to 10 is a pretty good measure of how exhausted or how good/bad I'm feeling at that moment. > Maybe this last part sounds unusual, but I just focus on letting the oxygen absorb into my brain without using it back up. And also trying to get outside of my mind -- to kind of transcend it and get into third person. I know I am explaining nothing more than feelings and psychological phenomena, but in there is some kind of truths that I dont know how better to describe at the moment That's great! One of the main goals of meditation practice is being present. When we are present, we start perceiving the stuff that is always there but we ignore. The things that you describe are important, I'd encourage you to keep exploring them. Everyone's journey is unique.
