To give a better context for my comment to OP, I began (again) practicing meditation early January this year by following the book The Mind Illuminated. I am now mostly working on stages 3 and 4 of the book. I noticed, in my mind, when I was using the technique Follow the Breath my mind chattering would mostly cease, not that I intentionally tried to suppress it. I still experience a kind of narration of what is happening in the moment.
