In a TV series "Know God," Morgan Freeman began to seek to understand people's perceptions of God.

To know the answer, he will crisscross the world and let God have a better and deeper understanding.

He talks to ordinary people, archaeologists, religious historians and priests of the world's major religions, namely Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism, to understand their views on God.

As a record, of the five, only four are considered "religions" based on accepted word definitions.

Religion is:

"The belief in worshipping Superman's control, especially the individual God or the gods."

Christianity has the Father, Islam has Allah in Judaism, Elohim or Yaweh, and Brahman among Hindus.

In Buddhism, the Buddha is not a god, but a state of enlightenment. The goal of all Buddhists is to reach the level of becoming a Buddha.

The realization of the enlightenment provided a very good view for the discussion between Mr. Freeman and a Buddhist monk. The following is an excerpt from this discussion.

Mr. Freeman: from

 How did you achieve the enlightenment?

Monk: from

 A truly pure enlightenment is a long and tedious process that can only be achieved through constant meditation.

Mr. Freemanfrom

: How do you meditate?

Monk from

 [laughs]: The simplest way to meditate is to focus on your breathing.

By breathing, it means "concentrated breathing", the main ingredient Mindfulness breathingThis is one of the two basic meditation techniques taught by Gautama Buddha [the other is love and kindness].

What is the breathing of mindfulness?

This applies to theory if you Focus on your breathingYou will realize the tendency of the mind to jump from one thing to another.

By focusing on your breathing, you can go back to the present and enjoy the rich experience it contains.

This is a way to cultivate mindfulness, alertness and sensitivity.

Mindfulness breathing is a good antidote to irritability and anxiety; relaxation. It has a positive impact on your physical and mental state.

Is righteousness suitable for the elderly?

Many years ago, I had a migraine headache.

For a few weeks, when I raised my right arm, my headache continued, and the pain caused the neck to stiffen and the pain was unbearable.

I tried several treatments but it didn't help. Then someone suggested completely relaxing and giving me tips on how to do this

In less than a week, my migraine disappeared. Since then, I have never taken a headache or a sleep problem. If I want to, even sitting in a chair, I can quickly fall asleep in less than five minutes.

You can also benefit from concentrated breathing. In addition to this, there are the following points:

1. Slow down memory loss:

Meditation in concentrated breathing stimulates the hippocampus and frontal lobes, which are responsible for the long-term and short-term function of the brain.

In a recent study published in the Neuroscience Express, it is reported that regular meditation can slow the progression of cognitive dysfunction, which is dementia.

2. Improve your digestive system:

If you have chronic digestive problems, meditation will give you almost immediate relief.

This is because regular meditation improves blood circulation and increases its oxygen content, which is then shared with other organs such as the stomach and intestines.

In addition, oxygen enhancement through meditation also helps the immune system and heals the lungs.

3. Make you feel happy:

Meditation stimulates the prefrontal cortex, the "feel good" part of the brain.

It is especially beneficial if you enter and exit depression because of your living environment.

Your life enthusiasm and vitality will be boosted once.

4. It can help you achieve more attention:

Through meditation, your left and right hemispheres act together to increase your concentration, creativity and wisdom.

You become more mentally alert and can work better in society, allowing you to fully enjoy retirement.

This is the best way to defeat stress:

The life of the elderly can be long-term illness, loneliness, loss of spouse or loved ones, separation from children, limited fiancé and so on.

Long-term residence can lead to chronic stress, which is just depression, dementia, and ultimately a small step in Alzheimer's disease.

Focused breathing can drive these from your mind. It does not cost anything and can be done anytime, anywhere.

Granting it doesn't completely solve your problem, but it gives you some breathing and precious time to think about how to fix them.

There are no problems that cannot be solved. But sometimes we are overwhelmed by so many people that logical thinking becomes impossible.

Meditation clears your mind. It removes the chaff from the grain.

It drives away the sense of loneliness:

As an independent old man, my biggest concern is loneliness. I have a few days of tears soaking my lunch or dinner.

My children are married and live on their own. Although we see each other from time to time, they are just a text message, but nothing can beat their existence and engage in a more personalized conversation with my dearest person.

But this has become impossible. They have their own lives, their own schedule, their spouses.

I have become a short-lived on their screen.

When loneliness becomes so suffocating, I will settle in a comfortable place and concentrate on breathing.

I freed my thoughts from all the negative thoughts portrayed in loneliness, accepted my current reality and focused on the present.

It has been effective.

Skeptics may only need concentrated breathing as a first aid; a band-aid method that affects the problems of most older people. It is sweeping away the problems under the carpet.

Maybe. But this is the best option for fighting loneliness, stress and many other age-related issues.

It is very cheap and can be done at any time. Even if the relief you get is temporary, it will give you some valuable time to consider a more specific solution to solve your problem.

Finally, after covering thousands of miles, Mr. Freeman observed that all religions have one thing in common: God is peace, God is love, and God exists in each of us.

Take care of God, God will take care of you.
