I rejected it, looked for the actual sensation. After maybe a minute, I got worried because *I couldn't find any*, but I was still clearly breathing. I compromised and started noting warmth in my lungs, contraction of certain muscles etc. as "breath"(-ish), but *those began to disappear too*. The warmth mostly stayed, but muscle movement has a separate kinetic layer (independent from "intentions to move" and "spatial orientation") on top of it *that I never really noticed*. (Which makes me think my previous vipassana must have been really shitty if I missed *that*.)
