Think of your skin as a protective covering. Think of it as your garment. How would you feel without it?
The skin, our largest organ, has a number of functions- it is the first barrier against disease - it protects our internal organs from extreme temperatures by acting as insulation – it gets rid of the chemicals that our bodies do not need. It is therefore important that we take care of it and do what we can to improve our skin resistance. Meditation improves skin resistance through the strengthening and speeding up the skin’s cell regeneration process.
The skin is made up of nerves, follicles, and sensory receptors. As the cells mature, they are pushed outwards by newer cells, which then get worn out by our day-to-day activities, and those too need to be replaced. The problem is that the body needs time to regenerate cells and rebuild dead cells. Meditation allows the body to be able to use the nutrients allotted for the skin much more efficiently. When a person is under stress, the skin is normally the first to show signs of weariness through pimples, sagging eye bags, and so on.
How meditation impacts the skin works in a similar way to how it makes changes to health, blood circulation, breathing, and everything else. You are training your mind and body to focus on healing and protecting itself, optimizing it to function the way it should.
