Spiritual, Mindfulness & Self-Development Movies And TV Shows To Watch On Netflix

During the winter season, many of us feel a natural urge to slow down, cozy up, spend more time at home, and enjoy a good movie in good company. Watching movies, shows, and documentaries that make you look at life from a different perspective, that help to expand your consciousness, is a great way to broaden your horizons, find inspiration, and allow your spiritual nature to awaken. Sometimes, those quiet evenings spark something deeper within — an emotion, a memory, a desire to reconnect — and that’s when practices like Kundalini Activation can help integrate what’s been stirred.

When you think about spiritual development Netflix isn't necessarily the first thing that comes to mind, but you will be surprised by the number of mindfulness gems you can find there.

7. Tidying Up With Marie Kondo (2019) & Sparking Joy With Marie Kondo (2021)

When it comes to decluttering your mind, decluttering your space is essential. In this series of inspiring home makeovers, Japanese best-selling author and world-renowned tidying and organizing expert Marie Kondo describes a simple method to declutter your life, clear out your spaces and choose joy.

Our favorite lessons we learned from Mary Kondo:

Greet your space and cleanse your home's energy! Whether it is a new space or her own place Mari holds a quick intuitive meditation session to greet the house. She fills her house with the sounds of turning fork, the healing vibrations of this musical instrument are often used in Sound Bath meditations. We see incenses, candles, amethyst crystals - attributes that are traditionally used in the meditation community and have a centuries-long history.

Express gratitude. It starts with small basic things and grows progressively. She thought us to give thanks to anything that we want to let go of whether it's something tangible and small or untangible and full of meaning and emotions. We love gratitude rituals and practices as they transform the way we think, show us a bigger picture, and allow us to find positive moments in everything in life. We use different interpretations of it in our Meditation Retreat and Journaling Challenge.

Cleaning is meditation itself! Ever caught your mind wondering places when cleaning your house? Yes! Us too! Cleaning is not just removing dirt, it helps people to achieve a state of mindfulness and self-awareness.

Ready to Integrate What’s Stirred?
Sometimes, after watching a deeply moving film or soul-stirring documentary, something within us begins to shift. A new question arises. A long-forgotten emotion bubbles to the surface. A quiet spark of inspiration starts to glow in the background of our awareness.

Before you scroll to the next thing or dive back into the noise of daily life, take a moment. Breathe. Let the insight settle. Let the transformation begin to root itself within you. This is where real change happens—in the sacred pause after the experience.

And to support you in that pause, we invite you to drop into this powerful guided meditation—created to help you ground, integrate, and gently activate the subtle life force energy within. In slowing down, listening inward, and softening into presence, we invite clarity, healing, and creative flow to rise from within.
