If the sense of 'doing' & the idea of 'knower' is naturally falling away and the mind is naturally uniting with the breath, this is how meditation should be. You should let this keep naturally happening. The purpose of meditation is to feel peace, contentment & for insight to develop. If the feeling of peace starts, this is the basis for determining where you stand. You will be satisfied with meditation. regards

Yes.

When the mind is quiet the breathing automatically becomes the object of meditation.

There is no need to try to watch the breathing. In fact, trying to watch the breathing is an obstacle to deep progress.

The Pali scriptures (SN 48.10; MN 118 at the emd) state the meditator makes 'letting go' the object of meditation.
