Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response is what ASMR stands for.
This is an up and coming very odd thing that was created by “Jennifer Allen, a cybersecurity
professional residing in New York in the introduction to a Facebook group she
founded in February 2010 called the ASMR Group” –
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_response.
“It describes a feeling of euphoric tingling and relaxation that can come over
someone when he or she watches certain videos or hears certain sounds.
What kind of visual or audio clips can create such a lovely feeling?
It might surprise you, but the videos are of people doing incredibly simple, quiet, calming tasks, such as
folding towels, brushing their hair, or flipping magazine pages.
You might hear someone’s voice speaking in the background of the video, but not always.
The audio clips often consist of voices whispering nice things (like “You are
appreciated”), or contain the sound of tapping, scratching, or rain.” –

ASMR doesn’t work for everyone and it can be tough to imagine the sensation if
you don’t experience it first-hand.
For most people who do experience it, the blissful tingling starts up in the scalp
and then makes its way through the body to the arms and legs.
And as a result, it can trigger a feeling of relaxation before
bedtime, which can help you overcome insomnia.
The audio/video segments are long—in fact, some last up to an hour.
They are lengthy so that you can keep
watching or listening to them until you drift off to sleep.
2 ways of experiencing ASMR
There are two ways of experiencing ASMR,
1. Just meditate and imagine an image you really enjoy like the ocean or imagining sweet sounds of
birds or the ocean’s waves.
2. Watch the millions of videos they have on Youtube through headphones or just from the speaker on the device
you are listening on.
Remember that you can choose what kind of ASMR you want
to experience to get you ready for bed, if don’t enjoy someone whispering into a
microphone than you can choose an ASMR video with no talking and there will
just be pleasant background noise that surprisingly lulls you to sleep.
Try it out for yourself and see what all the hype is about. Have fun exploring!
