What Is ASMR?

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, which is a fancy term for a unique, tingling sensation that can be induced by being exposed to certain visual or auditory stimuli.

1. Origins

The definition of ASMR was introduced only 6 years ago by Jennifer Allen. However, the phenomenon was first mentioned in the 1926 novel “Mrs Dalloway”. Did you ever watch Bob Ross in your childhood and felt surprisingly relaxed and satisfied while listening to his soothing voice? Then you probably felt it yourself.

2. Triggers

In order to feel the tingling sensation, that usually starts in your scalp, you need to expose yourself to a “trigger”. You may experience ASMR through rather intimate interactions of daily life, usually intensified by certain acoustic or visual stimuli.

3. Examples

Listening to a soothing, whispering voice 

Being caressed 

Experiencing tender, personal attention 

Receiving a massage

4. Advantages

ASMR is an incredibly effective way to relax and shut down the mind. Those who experience it, claim that it helps reducing stress, anxiety and even panic attacks. Due to it’s advantages, ASMR is often used as a tool for meditation.

5. Medical Research

While there is no scientific proof of potential clinical advantages or dangers to ASMR yet, a number of scientists have expressed their opinion on the topic already. Currently, there are many documentaries and studies being made to further educate people about it.

6. Community

The main reason for the sudden popularity of the phenomenon is the ASMR community. Thousands of content creators upload “ASMR Videos” to Youtube regularly, gaining millions of views.

If you watch asmr videos frequently, you probably noticed already that the amount of binaural asmr videos increased dramatically.

One of the many advantages of binaural asmr videos is the enhanced experience, because “binaural” stands for “with both ears” That means, if you wear a decent pair of headphones, you will actually “feel” the voice in your ears according to the position the ASMRtist speaks in each ear seperately.

It feels like you are actually in the same room with the ASMRtist and therefore the asmr experience is even more intense.

We made a list of five binaural asmr videos that you should definitely check out if you want to expierence the binaural asmr effect yourself

ASMR – 4 letters that stand for:

“Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response”

Even though many people experience ASMR only a very few actually know about the term and the definition:

It is best explained as a unique and pleasurable“tingling sensation” which can be felt in the head, scalp, back or other regions of the body when exposed to visual, auditory or cognitive stimuli.

If you are completly new to ASMR, I will give you real life example of the exact opposite sensation in order to clarify this phenomenal:

Remember, when your teacher in school used to scratch on the board? Most people do and they still get goose bumps just thinking about it. That’s quite fascinating – A certain sound makes you feel a certain way: Negative or Positive – Even after years.

Now imagine you are beeing exposed to a positive sound for example: Calm music or the sound of rain.

I’m sure most people would feel either relaxed or happy. A similar but yet different effect happens with ASMR:

ASMR, often referred to as “Tingles” helps you to feel positive, relaxed, calm and maybe even sleepy.

This state of mind obviously has a lot of advantages:

You will feel relaxed after a stressful day at work

You will be able to drift off to sleep even if you suffer from insomnia

Your anxiety levels will decrease over time

and the best:

It is not harmful and doesn’t cost a thing :)

Help us spread awareness for asmr, so that more people can experience it themself.
