...In the Anapanasati Sutta, the Buddha used the words: "He/she trains herself/himself" starting from the 3rd step.... The 3rd step pertains exclusively to the breath/body, where as jhana pertains to the 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th step.

Let's see if I follow you correctly so far. At what step does the the supramundane aspect of jhana begin (or where the does the mundane aspect end)?
