Whenever I feel the need for a good session of relaxing me time I often go down the ASMR route, fire up Youtube, find one of my favorite ASMR therapists, stick my headphones on, recline back and close my eyes and listen..... can be amazing.
Anyone else use ASMR ?
for those who may not know about ASMR
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli.
People have different "triggers" that give them the ASMR effect, could be just watching something, hearing or touching certain objects. |

"I like putting me head against the bus window ..... is that the same thing?
Only if you lick it Granny.
Even I can't lick my own head. "
I'm sure Ryan can oblige. |

I stumbled across ASMR by accident. Someone shared a video of what they thought was "sweet good old fashioned family time" but throughout most of the video, there's a young girl playing with another family member's hair. - I slipped into a vegetative state and was asleep in minutes (My scalp is extremely sensitive and any touch or massage kind of sends me into my own world).
It's bizarre, some of the things that you discover relax you... People doing hair salon role play, make-up tutorials, whispering.
Definately a strange experience but most people find it weird.

Yes, many do find it weird but their mainly the ones that don't actually understand what ASMR is and what effects it can have on you.
A lot of people use it to help them sleep, it can relax the mind to such an extent that they can goto sleep in a short period of time listening to ASMR triggers where without they can't sleep. |

Lol, I showed a video to my friend of a woman doing a make-over role play.
She was laughing her head off at the fact that the woman was pretending to put make-up on the camera lense. - Looked around 5mins later and she was asleep.  |

"It sounds interesting. I produce relaxation, meditation and feel good recordings, and am all for exploring, learning and altered states. "
Oooh, what kind of recordings? Are we talking music/sounds (whale songs, calming melodies, ect), self-help relaxion techniques or something different? x |
