What is ASMR?
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a term used to describe a relaxing, soothing, and sometimes sleepy feeling that occurs in response to specific acoustic or visual stimuli and personal attention. The reaction is characterized by a pleasant static-like or tingling sensation that usually begins at the scalp, travels down the back of the neck, along the spine, and throughout the limbs. In the same way individuals can have varying preferences to music, food, or style, those who experience ASMR can be triggered by different forms of stimuli as well.
ASMR Triggers Can Include:
-
A softly spoken or whispering voice
-
Quiet, slow, and repetitive sounds – e.g. tapping and scratching
-
Watching somebody attentively and carefully execute a task such as hair brushing, drawing, cutting soap
-
Receiving altruistic, tender, personal attention
-
Oddly-satisfying items or actions (slime, kinetic sand, eating/mukbangs, pimple-popping, ear cleaning, etc.)
-
... and so much more!
