Recently I came across the term "ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response)", which is a relatively new phenomenon of the internet culture. Many people seem to benefit greatly from ASMR. Some tell that they have cured diseases such as insomnia or panic attacks.

To me in a spiritual sense it seems just like a great way to raise my vibration. Here is what it's about.

The term "autonomous sensory meridian response" (ASMR) is a neologism for a claimed biological phenomenon, characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation often felt in the head, scalp or peripheral regions of the body in response to various visual, auditory, olfactory, and cognitive stimuli. The phenomenon was first noted through Internet culture such as blogs and online videos. ....

In addition to whispering, many role-playing style videos and audio recordings also aim to stimulate ASMR. Examples include pretend haircuts, visits to a doctor’s office and therapy sessions. While these make-believe situations are acted out by the creator, it is claimed that viewers and listeners report that the ASMR effect relieves states of insomnia, feelings of anxiety or panic attacks. .....

Common triggers

According to the ASMR Research & Support[22] group, there are two types of ASMR. Type A is described as an ASMR experience that wasn't brought on by external stimuli, but was brought on by a unique thought pattern of the individual. Type B is when the individual experiences the phenomenon as a result of external stimuli. It is reported that both types are common among those who claim to enjoy ASMR. A list of external triggers follows: Listening to unusual speech Listening to someone whisper Watching educational presentations Reacting to an event with great empathy or sympathy Listening to music Viewing art Watching someone carefully execute a task Intense attention from another person Haircuts and being touched on the head or back Certain smells Tapping, scratching, sticky sounds

In addition to whispering, many role-playing style videos and audio recordings also aim to stimulate ASMR. Examples include pretend haircuts, visits to a doctor’s office and therapy sessions. While these make-believe situations are acted out by the creator, it is claimed that viewers and listeners report that the ASMR effect relieves states of insomnia, feelings of anxiety or panic attacks.
