11. Actualized.org

Actualized.org is “non-ideological teaching grounded in direct experience and contemplation.” A fair bit of warning with this channel; founder Leo Gura isn’t afraid to swear during his videos. His no-nonsense approach on all things spirituality might be a welcome addition to those looking for straight-forward information outside of practiced religion.

His meditation playlist is no exception. Simple, no-frills, and a little intimidating at times, but that might be exactly what you need.

13. Michael Sealey

Michael Sealey uses relaxation hypnosis to bring listers to a heightened state of deep relaxation and focused attention, “where positive suggestions can be more easily accepted by our subconscious minds. Imagine a fantastic and tranquil state of daydreaming, and that is very close to hypnosis!”

Uncertain about hypnotherapy? Sealey’s videos offer plenty of options for meditation and relaxation, whether you want to calm an overactive mind or want to cultivate gratitude in your life. Be sure to be in a safe place where you can fall asleep before listening to his videos.

15. Yoga With Adriene

Adriene’s channel is technically a yoga channel, but yoga is often a form of active meditation, where body flow and movements are done in conjunction with releasing difficult emotions or allowing mindfulness in.

Still, Adriene has a series of guided meditations rooted in yogic practices if you’re still looking for traditional meditation.
