Here is the full sentence:
呼吸に気がついている主体はシンキングの他にあるわけね。シンキング以外の主体を想定しないから、思いと気づくことの混乱をきちんと整理できなかった.
So tentatively I've translated 気がついている主体 as: "the subject that's aware of the breath..."
A thumb up or down on that translation would be great. If thumbs down, then I'd love to hear your suggestions.
Thank you so much, and Merry Christmas.

Comment: "Yup, "who" is better than "that." So "the one who is aware" should work too. Thanks yet again cinefil! "

This is just an idea as the 主体 is obviously a conscious being, seeing from 「呼吸に気がついている主体」.

I think in this context "individual" is more likely to be used than "subject". Subject seems a little too clinical in this context.
