Here I share my favorite YouTube meditations, these I prefer over any paid subscription. By the amount of replays and comments they have, you can really tell their effectiveness. They are completely free and accessible, and they have been running for years on YouTube. It is my curated set of reliable practices you can use anytime. Choose one that matches the time you have and the state you’re in, press play, and let the guidance do the rest.
Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)
NSDR which stands for Non-Sleep Deep Rest is a modern version of Yoga Nidra meditation, this one I bumped into an Andrew Huberman podcast, it is a scientifically proven meditation by Madefor, I have been using for years already, and I always recommend it to clients.
Why/when to use: A deeply restorative, science-supported protocol to reset stress and replenish focus; ideal for midday restoration or unwinding after work.
Isha Kriya (15 minutes)
A Sadghuru meditation, this is the foundation of his method and the meditation you will endlessly do if you visit his center in India. This meditation is a reminder that you are not your body and not your mind.
Why/when to use: A simple breath-thought-awareness sequence that steadies the mind and lifts energy; great as a daily anchor when you’re short on time.
Chakra Meditation Chants for Root Chakra
This one I have been doing it for years, this meditation has been around for 8 years, since then I have been using it to chant root chakra mantras. It has been one of my most used and favorite meditations I always go back to in the morning whenever I need some grounding.
Why/when to use: This is a chanting-based practice from Meditative Mind’s “Magical Chakra Meditation Chants” series, focused on the root chakra using the seed mantra LAM. It’s a good choice when you want grounding and steadiness—e.g., before the workday, after travel, or anytime you feel scattered or anxious. Sit or lie down comfortably, breathe naturally, and let the repetitive chant anchor attention in the body (base of the spine). Use it as a short reset or extend it for a deeper, more settling session.
Mindfulness with Jon Kabat-Zinn (20 minutes)
Jon Zabat-Zinn an author you will find if you are in the search of learning meditation. His books are the groundwork of western approach to mindfulness. Here is a meditation from one of the masters himself.
Why/when to use: Classic mindfulness training from the founder of MBSR—gentle guidance to return to the breath and body; use when you need clarity and presence.
Yoga Nidra – Deep Body Relaxation (20 minutes)
This meditation, yoga nidra, is the basis of the NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) meditation, it is thousands of years old and here it is for you to reconnect with your nervous system.
Why/when to use: Lie down and follow a body-scan style nidra to release tension and invite full-body rest; helpful for stress relief and evening wind-down.
Space Meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza
Why/when to use: A guided practice focused on spacious awareness; useful when you’re stuck in overthinking and want a wider, calmer perspective.

How to get the most from these meditations
I usually use the Insight Timer and set up a tone reminder every 10 min and do 20 min meditation every morning. This is what works for me and I have been doing this for years with a couple of breaks.
To start, just pick one, set your phone to Do-Not-Disturb, sit or lie comfortably, and follow the voice. If you’re processing intense emotions, keep eyes slightly open and shorten the session as needed. This page is an aid, not a substitute for personal therapy; bring anything significant that arises to your sessions.
