You can own the best anti-aging serum, best silk pillow, and expensive night cream-but if your brain is running while sleeping, True Beauty Sleep will be out of reach. In today’s hyper-connected world, sleep is often the first casualties. The work deadline, screen time, and continuous notifications, with falling and living have become rapidly difficult with living and living. And when we pay attention to fine lines and dark circles, a truth is ignored: a cool mind is the foundation of healthy sleep and glowing skin.
This is the place where the transdantal meditation (TM) enters – not as a luxury, but as a requirement for those looking for real comfort and glow. Unlike other practices, which require intensive attention or respiratory control, TM is a spontaneous technique that helps in organizing the mind naturally.
“TM is not about controlling your views – it’s about crossing them,” Smt Aditi Srivastava, Senior Transcendental Meditation Teacher and Educational Advisor in Maharishi University of Information Technology (MIT). “In this case of this rest, your body and mind start recovering, resetting and rejuvenating from within.”
Why sleep is still the best friend of your skin
Sleep is the most powerful repair system of the body. During deep rest, development hormones are released to rebuild cells and renew the skin. ,
But it is not only about seven hours logging. Smt Srivastava says, “The quality of sleep is much more important than the quantity.” “You can sleep for eight hours, but if your nervous system is still in ‘fight or flight’ mode, your body does not get deep rest for its need.” A study in the Journal of Counseling and Development found immediate improvement in sleep quality after TM practice.
Parlokic focus
Practicing for just 20 minutes twice a day, TM involves repeating a mantra quietly. This simple process allows the mind to move beyond thought and move a deep comfort – while fully wakes up.
This innings activates the Persimepthetic Nervous system, or “rest and digest” mode, which reduces breathing and heart rate.
Smt Srivastava explains, “TM takes away stress and prepares the body naturally for deep sleep.” “It is like tuning a musical instrument before a performance – your body becomes more harmonious, ready for comfort.”
Doctors often report fast asleep, experience less awakening, and wake up more freshly – even after the period of low sleep. A study in the Journal of Clinical Psychology referred to significant decrease in anxiety, insomnia and overall sleep disturbances.
Reset your inner clock
Modern life often disrupts the circadian rhythm – the inner clock that controls sleep and waking cycles. TM helps to reorganize this rhythm, making it easier to sleep and wake up continuously.
“A balanced circadian rhythm not just improves sleep – it enhances mood, energy, digestion and skin,” says Mrs. Srivastava.
The scale of lack of sleep is worrying. According to the Indian Sleep Disorder Association, 93 percent of Indians suffer from some form of sleep disturbances, and 20 percent report chronic insomnia. Globally, the World Health Organization predicts that 1 in 4 people will experience sleep issues during their lifetime.
These are not just cosmetic concerns – chronic poor sleep affects immunity, memory, metabolism and emotional flexibility.
Stress-skin connection increases the level of cortisol, which interferes with collagen production, slows down skin treatment, and increases oil-all lead to brakeouts and pigmentation.
“When you naturally reduce cortisol through TM, you give your skin to heal and shine,” says Mrs. Srivastava. “Many physicians report better skin tones, reduce sensitivity, and a more bright appearance.”
Beyond the skin, TM also improves behavioral pattern – reducing emotional food, improving sleep hygiene, and reducing caffeine dependence – which affects all skin health.
Does TM make different?
TM does not demand focus, respiratory control or physical flexibility. It is a personal and easy practice taught by certified trainers.
Smt Srivastava says, “TM is quite simple to practice from anyone to CEO.” “This does not require silence or ideal conditions. You can practice it anywhere, and the benefits follow you everywhere.”
Real beauty begins with real comfort
TM is not about quick reforms. It is a small, consistent habit that brings harmony to the mind, body and feelings. Over time, it creates the foundation of inner peace, better sleep and long -lasting skin health.
“When you experience true comfort, your body starts to flourish – and it shows in your face, your energy and your relationships,” says Mrs. Srivastava.
