The word we are looking for when we probe the difference between "Mindfulness" and "Awareness" is attention. Attention is ego driven as is mindfulness. Awareness is what mindfulness appears or arises in.
"To what appearance does the appearance that appears appear to?" Stephen Wolinsky (Portals of the Absolute)

Can you explain how to practice the 16 respirations with awareness and how with mindfulness (the 2nd level thing) according to your experience ?

Very interesting, thank you! The argument about four or five level sound to me fine but also a little bit neurotic. Just my opinion, thank you again to sharing! 🙏
