I think that, with any form of meditation, perseverance is the key.
With breath counting meditation, for example, you'll probably find your mind interrupting you with all sorts of thoughts. And most people will probably conclude after about 3 minutes that the exercise is silly, frustrating and beyond their abilities!
It's only if you can push through the barriers of frustration and self-doubt that you will reach the inner treasures...
