This might be a stupid question but i'll ask . Do you think breathing meditations is going away from Jesus if your suffering ? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why I ask ? Is that a person who's close to me said it's going away from Jesus if you do breathing meditations when in pain , and being honest the person is after putting the fear of God into me now over , cause I dont find it harmful I know some exercises are harmful for the spirit but I dont know about this .
The person thinks suffering is getting close to Christ in his belief and thinks breathing meditations is a way to take you away from Christ. What's your view on it ?
