Our Top 5 Picks - YouTube Meditation Channels


I know, I know. Everyone tells you to meditate and sitting in your room quietly may give you anxiety when your to-do list is piling up.


But, let's reiterate the benefits of meditation, and then provide you with our tested list of favorite and free guided meditation channels on YouTube. Guided meditations are ideal for beginners because they are structured.



Some Major Benefits of Meditation:


  • "Bigger Brain" - Ever wish you could get Elon Musk's neuro-chip? If that's out of reach, try the free and time-tested method of meditation. Regular practice can strengthen the prefrontal cortex and increase gray matter density in areas of the brain associated with memory, learning, and emotional regulation. It can also protect against age-related brain shrinkage.


  • Improved Stress Response - Sick of snapping at those around you? When you meditate the amygdala is also impacted. The amygdala affects your brain's fight or flight response. Meditation has been shown to reduce its size and reactivity.


  • Positive Physical Affects - Meditation can activate your body's rest and digest system, which helps to lower heart rate and blood pressure. Over time, this can decrease strain on your heart and lower the risk of problems like a heart attack or stroke. Even though our world wants us to always be "on" and always be efficient, our bodies were designed to rest at least part of the time!
