Many people have experienced the benefits of meditation for skin health and appearance. Since many skin issues arise from constant stress, hormonal imbalances, or other psychological changes, meditation can be the key missing ingredient in an effective, holistic skincare routine.
A peaceful mind transmits healthy and positive energy to the body. It can regulate our mood and emotions – from psychological feelings to physical-chemical releases and pathways in the brain and body. With patience, persistence, and regular practice, meditation for skin problems can be a surprisingly effective natural remedy for your skin.
Want to discover the secret to beauty from the inside out? It may just begin with a calm and relaxed mind.
Types of Meditations That Help Your Skin
Many types of meditation can help you clear your skin. From common to complex conditions, different types of meditation for skin problems can yield amazing results:
Mantra Chanting
‘Mantra’ is a word taken from Sanskrit, one of the world’s ancient languages often used in religious Buddhist texts to communicate with the Divine.
In manta chanting meditation, a specific phrase or syllable is repeated. It can be chanted out loud or quietly inside your head to connect with Divine energy and receive blessings and healing.
What are the benefits of mantra chanting meditation for skin problems? Mantra meditation can significantly affect your body, mind, energy, and overall skin health. It brings good health from the inside out and will help your skin look healthier.
Mantra chanting also effectively reduces stress levels and calms down turbulent emotions, which can directly impact acne, rosacea, dermatitis, rashes, hives, and other skin issues. As a bonus, mantra meditation helps the mind stay positive and focused, even if you have difficulty concentrating on a particular thing for considerably longer.
Hence, this simple meditation for skin problems can put you in a better mood, improve your health, and soothe your mind and body. It can also help you maintain healthy, glowing skin from the inside out.
Spiritual Meditation
Some skin problems, such as stress acne or breakouts from eating poorly, can be controlled with a healthy balanced diet, proper sleep, and exercise. On the other hand, more serious skin problems such as psoriasis, a common yet long-term disease without cures, are more difficult to manage.

Can Meditation Help with Incurable Skin Problems?
Spiritual meditation is a method to connect to a higher Divine power. Spiritual meditation practices are also taught in many Buddhist sutras to eliminate your negative karma and accumulate the karmic merits needed to live a happier life.
According to the Buddhist understanding of cause and effect, our health and appearance are correlated with our life energy, fate, and karmic merits. One way to change our life energy, and future, or gain auspiciousness is through accumulating values, doing good deeds, and making offerings and donations.
For example, the Earth Store Bodhisattva’s Vow Sutra states that one can gain a better appearance through listening or reading the sutra or offering incense, flowers, food, or clothes. These are all examples of spiritual meditation methods and practices.
One of Grandmaster’s students had psoriasis on his back, about the size of a basketball. He recovered after accumulating merits. There used to be thick scabbed skin – knocking on it would even make noise at night. It was so itchy that he scratched until it bled. After consulting a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor about his incurable disease, he was instructed to do good deeds and accumulate merits. The psoriasis was most probably due to his past negative karma.
Around the same time, he coincidentally discovered Bodhi Meditation. He joined our volunteers in donating his time and efforts to help with renovations for a new meditation hall. In contributing his time to a charitable organization, he would receive a portion of the merits created when other people benefitted from Bodhi. After a month of painting walls, his psoriasis almost completely recovered. It is the effect of accumulating values.

Meditation for Skin Problems – A Step-by-Step Guide
Steps to Perform Mantra Chanting
- Choose Your Mantra: To begin with, choose the mantra that resonates most with you. Read about different mantras here.
- Find Your Meditation Spot: Once you have decided on your mantra, it’s time to put all that knowledge to practice. It is best to select a quiet, comfortable spot with no noise, distraction, or any other possibility of losing focus in the middle of your mantra chanting. Make sure to keep warm.
- Get into the Right Mindset for Chanting: Before beginning, it is important to ensure you chant with a sincere and respectful heart.
- End the Meditation: End the meditation with Bodhi Meditation Closing Exercises. Rub your hands together, then gently run them over your face. Pat your body gently all over, from head to toe. Lightly run your hands over your body, and think, “I am closing this meditation.”
Steps to Perform Spiritual Meditation
Do Good, Donate, or Volunteer: There are many ways to donate, such as donating food, clothes, and money to those in need, contributing to a charitable organization, or donating your time and effort through volunteering. A small donation can make a big difference in times of need. Get into the habit of doing good deeds; over time, you will accumulate many merits and good karma.
According to the Earth Store Bodhisattva’s Vow Sutra, he lived the same life as Buddha in one of Earth Store Bodhisattva’s past lives. He was stunned by Buddha’s magnificent appearance. He asked Buddha: “What are the ways to obtain a good appearance similar to you who has a beautiful, majestic, delicate, and perfect beauty?” Buddha answered, “you should forever use this Dharma to benefit all sentient beings.” Hearing this, the Earth Store Bodhisattva vowed to follow in Buddha’s footsteps and help all sentient beings.
- Offering Flowers: In Buddhism, offering flowers to Buddha and Bodhisattva is a good start to accumulating merits. Offering flowers reverently before Buddha and Bodhisattva can make one’s appearance as beautiful as flowers. Presenting to a cultivator or monk can also achieve the same effects. As they help and teach other sentient beings, you receive some of the merits of your offerings to them. Thus, if one day they achieve enlightenment, the offeror will obtain the same auspiciousness!
- Sponsor Sutras or Offer to Gilding Buddha Statues: Sponsoring sutras or offering sincerity to gild buddha statues will bring immense merits and endless benefits. For instance, the book Grandmaster JinBodhi Teaches “The Earth Store Bodhisattva’s Vow Sutra” is to help the public understand this auspicious meaning and thus obtain immeasurable merits and benefits.
In short, we could change our health and appearance by accumulating virtues and merits through sponsoring and offering, doing good deeds that benefit all sentient beings.

Student’s Experience with Meditation for Psoriasis
Our student Qi Fang was diagnosed with psoriasis, an extremely difficult skin disease to treat, causing itchiness all over her body. Her psoriasis affected her daily life, work, and personal relationships. Fortunately, she discovered Energy Bagua, which helped her to regain health and joy:
“In 2015, I lost my temper and went into a great rage. Less than two months later, rashes appeared on my body and developed into psoriasis. It started on my forehead between my eyebrows. Then it went to my ears, and legs, and gradually to my back and buttocks. It spread all over my body. As I scratched, the rashes grew red and became bigger. It was severe psoriasis, and the pain lasted over eight months. I was itchy all over. How could I work? I went to the doctor, but the medication didn’t help.
I became more stressed. My skin was so itchy that it was like being bitten by bugs. The affected areas felt like they were smothered in salt. People didn’t dare get close to me. They were afraid of being infected. After 2 or 3 months, my sister brought me a Meditation & Health magazine, where I read stories about people who recovered their health by walking around a tree. She suggested we give it a try.
After half a year of practice, I started to sweat. 80-90% of my skin healed, leaving psoriasis on only my back and buttocks. Energy Bagua has benefited me greatly. Because of my psoriasis, I persisted in practicing Energy Bagua every day. After one year of Energy Bagua practice, I have recovered my health. Health and happiness can be “seen” on one’s face. Before, I was pale and puffy. Now, I am much lighter and slimmer – many people say I look good and glow.
I am very grateful. Psoriasis changed my life, mentality, and everything about myself. Good things such as truth, kindness, and beauty arise from practice. Thank you, Grandmaster JinBodhi.”
