the Pali includes the physical body as a sense organ and the physical sensations touching the physical body as a sense object...

...it can mean experiencing the body & breath together

Good point Element. Very much a case of experiencing the totality of sensory information upon which our awareness alights.

I'm never quite sure what Buddha meant with "a body among bodies". I've seen that translation disputed on occasion but never resolved to my satisfaction.

He meant something by it, so much is clear.
