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 ?

I think it depends how you meditate. I wouldn't have a problem with breathing exercises if they actually worked for me, but I'd do them my own way (praying or meditating on God) and not trying to get my mind into an unnatural state of emptiness. My dad told me it was not good to empty the mind, but to keep it filled with good things as much as possible.
