I don't think there's anything very mysterious about focusing on the breath. It's just difficult, but the action itself isn't elusive or hard to define. Anyone can probably be fully mindful of a single inhalation and exhalation right away, the rest is just working up to longer and longer periods of unbroken mindfulness from there.
