May is Meditation Month!
Why is meditation important to great looking
skin?
Looking great is important,
especially to a women; using skin care free of
fragrances, dyes, and other toxic chemicals is
important in slowing down the progression of
aging. Furthermore, eating organic
food, exercising, and yoga are critical in
slowing down this process as well. However,
your mind has to be balanced so that it will not
produce cortisol, your stress hormone, and
depress the immune system. According to eastern
wisdom, thoughts matter. It is the thought that
creates stress or happiness. Stress is how you
look at things. Meditation with specific mantras
can calm a person’s mind to everyday incidents
or issues encountered in our daily life.
The skin is the largest organ of
the body, reflects the state of your health,
which is influenced by our fitness level, the
food we eat, and the way we cope with stress.
Many researchers have found that the brain and
skin are derived from the same cells in the
developing fetus, which gives rise to the
assumption that your mental state is reflected
in your skin.
Meditation, which has been used
for thousands of years, helps to fight stress,
and to rejuvenate the mind and body. We endure
stress every day, and it is a normal process
which each of us handles differently. We are
consistently trying to handle the emotional and
physical challenges that we come across in our
daily lifestyle. Stress can be: meeting a
deadline, frustration with traffic, or the
amount of preservatives in the food we eat.
When cortisol is released it
causes the blood to flow away from the skin. The
skin will then appear shallow and washed out.
When your skin appears this way, you don’t feel
good about yourself, which then affects your
daily life and your confidence. The continuous
release of the stress hormone as well as toxic
ingredients in skin care breaks down the DNA and
leads to aging.
The release of stress hormones
also stimulates the sebaceous glands which
produce more oil. This will then cause the pores
to be blocked creating the development of
pimples and breakouts on the skin. There is a
direct correlation between stress and acne,
psoriasis, eczema and herpes. Stress also
causes a loss in moisture and hydration in the
skin’s surface. Stress causes the skin to slow
down on the rate of cell renewal, causing fresh
cells to take longer to reach the skin’s
surface.
So, what can we do to relieve our
stress and create better looking skin? In
today’s world we believe that meditation is a
great way to achieve a balanced, relaxed
approach to life. It is a great way to control
the situations or influences that trigger
stress. Meditation can be defined as a state of
relaxed concentration on the reality of the
present moment or a state where the mind is free
of all thoughts. By including meditation in your
daily lifestyle, along with a good daily skin
