15 Meditation and Sleep Videos that Will Help Center You

If there ever has been a time to learn new ways to relax, center ourselves, and sleep better, it’s right now. This year has rough, and we must find healthy ways to cope and de-stress from all the negativity. It’s important to find, and hold onto, those moments of peace.

One way to focus on keeping one foot in front of the other right now is living in the moment. Meditation is the perfect tool for this. It’s all about stopping and focusing right on the seconds, minutes, and/or hours that one is living in, not on the past or the future. To meditate is to silence all the outside noise and listen to one’s breath, as well as some soothing sounds and powerful words, should you choose.

And you don’t have to stop your hectic life for an entire hour during the day to get some meditation in. These videos show that you can get centered in as little as 30 seconds. Need help sleeping? Then fall asleep with a longer meditation selection. It’s all about just getting started and building from there. Here are 15 meditation videos we found on YouTube that will undoubtedly get you calmer, more centered, and more peaceful.
