Recs for guided meditation online?

Hi all, I have a question:
I used to meditate on my own, and with a group once every two weeks. But I've recently had a huge schedule change, so I'm all out of sorts, and the group no longer meets either. I'd like to get back on track. I see there's a large selection of guided sessions via youtube, various sites (and possibly Netflex? ). I'm a little overwhelmed by the options, honestly. Are there any particular ones you'd recommend?
- I don't care whether the guide is male or female.
- I'd prefer that it not be oriented toward worship of a particular deity, or overtly and deeply immersed in the rites of a specific religion, as I have my own to consider; but I also don't expect anyone to know what my lines are specifically in that regard, so if you're not sure it'll pass muster, feel free to toss a link in my direction anyway.
- I don't object to Hindu or Buddhist overtones at all; chakra work is also fine.
- If it's a vid and not an mp3, I've a preference for sticking with nature or mandalas or abstract images. If it involves other people, I prefer something down to earth, I don't want/need a distracting costume party.
- "Pretendians", fake shamanic rituals, and non-Indigenous insisting on being called "Little Running Deer" or by their "African Earth Mother Name" is a big No. Yelling and throwing things at my screen, while cathartic, is not very conducive to meditation work. =p
I really hope someone can help me out with this one. Thanks!
