Do You Watch Youtube Videos?

Can YouTube be considered a channel or an app like Netflix?

YouTube can be considered both an app and a platform (or channel, in a broad-sense). Like Netflix, it's an app that people use daily to watch videos, but there are some key differences that I will share below. YouTube has become a go-to platform where people can find out what others think on a wider range of topics. It is a good place to find many video reviews on products. It can be a helpful platform.

YouTube as an App:

It's available on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and computers.

It allows users to stream content on demand. Like Netflix, it offers a subscription model (YouTube Premium) for an ad-free experience.

Unlike Netflix, YouTube is not just for professionally produced content - it's an open platform where anyone can upload videos. It has a mix of user-generated content, professional media, and live streams. People can subscribe to specific YouTube channels, which function like TV channels or shows.

So, while YouTube is an app like Netflix, in terms of daily entertainment, it's also a video-sharing platform where creators produce content, making it more like an interactive media space than a traditional streaming service. You can earn money from your own videos once you have got a good amount of followers.

What kind of things can we watch there?

On YouTube, you can watch almost anything! It's a massive platform with content across all genres. There is content on any topic, from watching cat videos for fun to learning a new skill!

Here are some of the main types of videos you'll find:

Entertainment & Pop Culture

Comedy & Sketches

Gaming Videos & Live Streams

What type of content do you enjoy watching?

Lately, I have watched spiritual videos that have profoundly changed my thinking, giving me a new lease on life. These teachings have opened my mind to new possibilities, shifting my perspective on energy, intuition, and manifestation. I feel more connected to my inner self as if seeing the world with fresh eyes. The wisdom shared in these videos has helped me release limiting beliefs and embrace a more peaceful, abundant mindset. It's a journey of self-discovery and one that continues to unfold each day. I now feel more aligned, inspired and ready for whatever comes next.

Has this happened to anyone else who watches YouTube?

Many people experience profound shifts in their thinking and outlook on life after watching spiritual videos. These insights felt like an awakening, offering new perspectives on purpose, energy, manifestation, and inner peace.

These YouTube videos have completely shifted my thinking and awakened something inside me like a fog has lifted, revealing a clearer, brighter path ahead. I feel more intuitive than ever, sensing energy and guidance in ways I hadn't noticed before. My thoughts are no longer filled with doubt and limitation but with possibilities and expansion. I see life differently now - more abundant, fluid, and aligned with something greater than myself.

This shift has healed me and I no longer feel weighed down by old beliefs that kept me stuck. Instead, I feel lighter, more open, and more in tune with my power. My intuition has strengthened, guiding me toward what feels right rather than what I once thought I had to do. Every day, I notice synchronicities, signs that reassure me I'm on the right path.

I feel more abundant, not just in material things but in energy, inspiration, and connection. My heart feels full, and my mind is clearer. I trust myself more. Life is unfolding in ways I never imagined, and I'm excited to see where this journey leads.

Here are a few videos that I have watched that resonated with me. The people I have mentioned below are inspirational. You should view and listen to what they say because it will change your life.

He wrote the books A New Earth and The Power of Now.

Teachings

These teachers offer such powerful insights into presence, manifestation, and intuition. Since watching these videos, there have been specific topics that I have felt drawn to explore - like deeper intuition work and energy healing, such as a healing process called Ho'oponopono, (see next paragraph).

The Ho'oponopono video

I have learned a wonderful and interesting thing you can do to heal your bad energy called the Ho'oponopono. It is an ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and healing which helps clear negative energy and restore inner peace. It is based on four simple yet powerful phrases:

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you."

This was used by Dr. Hew Len in a unique situation in his hospital (see video below).

When repeating these words, many believe, you cleanse emotional blockages, release past traumas, and align with a higher state of awareness. This practice teaches personal responsibility, acknowledging that our external reality reflects our inner world. Through Ho'oponopono, we can heal relationships, remove limiting beliefs, and create space for love and abundance. It's a simple yet profound way to invite transformation and inner harmony.

Watch the following video on Ho'oponopono and watch the Ho'oponopono meditation for twenty-one days to get the healing and relief you need.

Aaron Doughty explains it in the video below:

I hope this article has given you some insight into life on YouTube in a positive and spiritual sense.

    I used to watch a lot of YouTube, before TikTok and Instagram reels were popular. I'm glad the spiritual videos have helped you

  • Basic psychology blended with Process Theology & The Power of Positive Thinking, expressed in more wholistic spiritually focused terms. I'm glad that you have found these to be so helpful. (Daryl seems like he would be incredibly fun just to sit down & chat with.)
