I have been practising meditation for more than ten years now, and I’m not going to lie; it is something that I do not practise regularly. Sometimes, I meditate every day, sometimes once a week, and sometimes just once a month. I normally practise deep guided meditation, but some days, I only need a 10-minute reset to calm my anxious brain and help me focus a bit better.Â
I have compiled a list of the best Guided Meditation YouTube channels based on my experience and a meditation community’s recommendations. This list includes a mix of spiritual and deep meditations that will take you out of your body to basic, focusing on breathing and calming the mind meditation practices you can do in 10 minutes.
Please note that I am not including meditations that are based on religion.Â
Let’s start with a guided meditation channel that I keep coming back to:
1. Rising Higher Meditation
924K subscribers, 491 videos
Kinds of Meditation: deep and powerful meditaion, affirmations, cognitive reprogrammingÂ
I love this guided meditation channel and return to it when I need a deep reset. For the deepest experience, I tend to choose 25—to 45-minute, hour-long meditations at the end of the day and close myself off in a dark room with sound-cancelling headphones.Â
Jess Shephard leads the meditations. Her soothing voice is supported by sounds and music that help to transport you out of this world to magical places that fill your heart with joy and sometimes tears. I will include my favourite practice that made me cry and laugh. It is an extremely powerful guided meditation that helps me reconnect and receive guidance when I need it the most.Â
2. The Honest Guys – Meditations – Relaxation
1.3M subscribers, 694 videos
Kinds of Meditation: guided meditations, mindfulness meditations, fantasy sleep stories, and meditation exercises
Wery calming and relaxing meditation chanel. The meditation focuses more on falling asleep and relaxing than finding answers within. I would recommend The Honest Guys if you struggle to fall asleep at the end of the day. Think of this channel as bedtime stories for adults.
3. The Mindful Movement
870K subscribers, 563 videos
Kinds of Meditation: guided meditation, visualizations, and hypnosis, as well as Yoga, Pilates and a variety of mindful movement practices
This Guided meditation YouTube channel stands out with a beautiful community. You will feel happy and loved after reading the comments and videos below. This Chanel is not only about meditation but also about mindful movement like yoga and pilates.
4. Declutter The Mind
138K subscribers, 470 videos
Kinds of Meditation: guided meditations for mindfulness, anxiety, stress, focus, sleep deprivation, insomnia, depression and more.
If you love Headspace but don’t want to pay an app fee and would rather listen to meditations on YouTube, Declutter Your Mind is your kind of channel. With very minimal guidance and lots of quiet time, I would recommend this channel to someone already practising meditation, not a total beginner. Simple meditation with NO religious undertones. It is a meditation channel with shorter videos from 10 to 30 minutes, focusing on current feelings we are all experiencing, like loneliness, pessimism, and feelings of or dealing with failure.
5. Monroe Institute
149K subscribers, 364 videos
Kinds of Meditation: guided meditations for mindfulness, anxiety, stress, focus, sleep deprivation, insomnia, depression and more.
The Monroe Institute, founded by Robert Monroe, is an education centre recognized for exploring and experiencing expanded states of consciousness. If you want to experience a deeper level of consciousness and want a meditation practice that will take you out of your body, you will appreciate this channel.
6. Michael Sealey
1.9M subscribers, 229 videos
Kinds of Meditation: Hypnosis | Hypnotherapy | Sleep Hypnosis | Guided Meditation
This is the most calming and hypnotic Meditation channel. Michael’s soft and soothing voice is accompanied by very subtle background music that creates an out-of-this-world experience. This channel is for a deep meditative state, with videos ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours, with an average duration of 45 to 60 minutes.Â
With 25 million views, this guided meditation video is proof of how many of us are suffering from overthinking and anxiety and are seeking guidance from within.
7. MindfulPeace
204k subscribers, 180 videos
Kinds of Meditation: Hypnosis | Hypnotherapy | Sleep Hypnosis | Guided Meditation
If you want the benefits of meditation but don’t have time for long sessions or are just starting out, I recommend following MindfulPeace meditation on YouTube. It has many shorter meditations that are great when you are overwhelmed and need a quick reset. Most of the meditations are 8 to 20 minutes long, with a few one-hour meditations listed on the channel.Â
If I feel anxious, I listen to this meditation with my sound-cancelling headphones, and it calms me straight away.Â
