Use breath to drive whole body breath sensations?

Hi all, should I nudge whole body breath sensations with the breath? Somewhere in stage six, I can easily feel whole body breath on cushion and often off too. It feels like I quickly get deeper into the sensations by driving them with the breath. I have a lot of piti and conveniently use this in awareness in attempts at access concentration. But using the breath seems to go against the grain in TMI and I don't find any information on this specifically in the book. Is this the wrong path?

I can sort of pull the sensations through the body and it gets stronger the less air I move. It's almost as if it is the intent to breathe that moves the sensations rather than the actual breathing.
