The Anapanasati Sutta is the only sutta that provides proper instruction in accordance to the Buddha-Dhamma, as follows.
Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the mindfulness enlightenment factor, which is supported by seclusion, dispassion and cessation and ripens in relinquishment (vossagga). He develops the investigation-of-states enlightenment factor…the energy enlightenment factor…the rapture enlightenment factor…the tranquillity enlightenment factor…the concentration enlightenment factor…the equanimity enlightenment factor, which is supported by seclusion, dispassion and cessation and ripens in relinquishment (vossagga).

"This, Rahula, is how mindfulness of in-&-out breathing is developed & pursued so as to be of great fruit, of great benefit.
"When mindfulness of in-&-out breathing is developed & pursued in this way, even one's final in-breaths & out-breaths are known as they cease, not unknown."[6]
Just as the what was instructed by Buddha to Ven Rahula. This is the only way that i understand and experienced it myself.
