ASMR: What is it?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Have you ever heard someone's voice or watched a certain video and suddenly felt very relaxed, with a tingling sensation on your head or neck?  That feeling is called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR).  Here are a few notes about it:

Like many people, I didn't know what ASMR was, but did experience it as a child.  My family used to laugh as I would watch QVC to fall asleep, but I found the voices and gesturing so relaxing (I still watch ASMR QVC role-plays when I can't sleep, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pez3mjSPaTE). Many people have said that the painter Bob Ross was the first trigger for them.  It's an interesting phenomenon.  Here are a few resources to check out.

This is Maria, whose channel GentleWhispering is one of the most popular on YouTube (this is one of her most popular videos, with almost 16 million views!).  This video is great because it features a number of different sounds and actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVpfHgC3ye0

One of the classics: Bob Ross https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HfA9K7SL5M
