Your doing nothing wrong when concentration becomes far futher increased your breath will become slower and slower, ive done this before and my breathing has cease for a few minuites before...:o
Try to keep it up every day and in a good year or so you will see the results of practising mindfullness.
Its a very important starting practise after all if you cannot identify whats going on in your mind then you cant control it never abandon this practise.
This is good keep it up these are the basis of all other meditation, mindfullness is a key tool for meditation without it we will make little progress, metta meditation is also very important please do take it slowly as rome wasnt built in a day, continous rain will erode a mountain rather then a quick down pour of heavy water
Good good !
Just remember to continually keep it up.
Good news is that you have reached the level where the breath fades/stops. It is supposed to happen as you reach higher stages in meditation. The breath seems to go away and what remains is only bliss (preti, sukkha). Preti is happiness and Sukkha means bliss. This stage is usually arising with or just before bliss and absolute calm
Bad news is this might mean that you have poor mindfulness. This happened to me once. When our minds are still jumping around unfocused but we keep focus on the breath although with interruptions this can happen. It is said that the meditator lose the meditation object when their mindfulness is not focused enough to grasp it for long periods. That is, as the breath calms down you need to be really focused on it to follow it in and out or else you lose track of it.
It might mean either of the two, only you can be the best judge. I got this information from my meditation handbook
