Is meditation cool or nah?

There's always this back and forth debate about if whether or not meditation and yoga is okay. I've kinda already concluded that there's nothing wrong with doing yoga for your health if you're a Christian but meditation I'm not to sure about because doesn't that involve some type of chant or mumble? I'm not sure but the controversy is just always that Buddhist and things pertaining to other religions are associatedwith meditation and I know that's it's not a "meditation is totally cool!" thing because there are some religions that do it for their God so what's like the safe Christian way to do it or if there is a safe Christian version. Someone just please inform me! I don't wanna sound ignorant so please inform me lol
