I meditate frequently, but have never researched or tried any specific technique. I simply sit with eyes closed, turn inward and observe my thoughts in a passive non-judgmental way. You are distinguishing between awareness and what awareness is viewing - the thoughts/emotions.

This has many benefits, but will specifically help your concentration problem. Concentration fades because thoughts arise which grab one's attention and distracts them. The less you are distracted by random thoughts the more alert and present you will be.
