Autonomous sensory meridian response

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone ever had an eye exam and felt "tingly" and relaxed it the same I get watching someone have their hair washed ,being spoken to in a soft voice, being whispered into the early it feels relaxing and nice. I have learnt that it's called Autonomous sensory meridian response or ASMR.

Their are even videos on YouTube that cater to this.

Click on you tube for the link.

Does anyone enjoy this?

I don't like that particular video, ( something about her voice puts me off instantly ) but I have experienced this on several occasions since childhood, always "accidentally", and have just this week become interested in it ( after reading an article about it in the context of online therapy work/opportunities ) and discovering that not everyone gets it, but that it can be deliberately triggered in those who do, and that it is perhaps connected with Sensory Integration Differences/dysfunction, and/or hypersensitivity to close-up sound, touch, visuals etc.

Some ASMR videos that I like to a greater or lesser degree, which effectively trigger drowsiness, heaviness/lightness, a very relaxed state, and the delicious tingling/prickling/melting feelings around scalp and down the spine, etc, for *me* anyway, are:
