Hello Tristan Jay,

About your question, exerience is quiet personal. I am new at mindfulness of breathing. I used to do zazen and I have found some similarities. Anapanasati or mindfulness of breathing has several stages known as tetrads. As an starter I am learning just the first one. Anapanasati Sutta is the core guideline I use.

While breathing in and out the experience is a deep feeling of loosing the coarse sensation of physical body, then, after that, mind seems to be "full of air" where thoughts arise and fade more and more easily.

Wandering mind is my tough problem. So, by now, the returning with an smile, to breathing in and out has to be done several times. In and out breathing is starting to occur smoothly and with ease letting it just happen. Nothing really mystical is felt but joy because of feeling a kind of emptiness or less tightened mind.
