Well it is said that breathing gradually stops as meditation goes deeper. You can even experience your breathing becoming shorter and smoother as you meditate. However, I have never heard this causing any brain damage whatsoever. If it causes such then I am not sure how people who have been meditating for long hours still wake up in perfect shape or in better shape So chances are high that you have been misinformed.

Yeah, I agree. This should not be a problem. A body at rest needs to breathe less. If you stop breathing entirely during meditation then you have another health problem that has nothing to do with too much sitting and being mindful and are probably already on a ventilator or you are dead.
