ASMR

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, or #ASMR, is one of the most popular phenomena often seen especially on media such as YouTube or Twitch. It involves soothing sounds in a meditative manner. Certain things one doesn't expect to provide a calming atmosphere is used to provide one of the most unreal experiences to mind, body, and soul. Regardless of how you feel about ASMR in general, this blog post is a look at ASMR. Why should you care about it? Should you care about it? I offer my own thoughts in this blog post on "John's Life Space."

Before I Begin...

I am no professional on this matter, nor do I entirely am experienced with or follow this phenomenon much. So do not expect this post to be fully educational.

Allow me to bring to light ASMR with this blog post.

ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is meant to relax people through the means of sounds. Almost like how some people find therapeutic value in hearing rain and thunder at night. It is seen as meditative and relaxing. Rather than have music or such going, ASMR mostly involves quietness and just letting simple sounds fill the air. ASMR can be an effective technique based on how it is executed. And by the look of things, one does not need any kind of formal training or fancy degree to specialize in ASMR or be qualified in providing ASMR.

Explaining the Phenomenon.

ASMR is described as offering a sensation that impacts your mind first and then going down your body in a trickle-down effect. You feel the impact of certain simple sounds being used to offer this meditative and relaxing experience. This style was exhibited on a mainstream scale recently with a Super Bowl commercial. During Super Bowl LIII, there was a Michelob Ultra commercial which featured ASMR to impact the mind and senses. A local here in Houston was interviewed on a local morning news show on FOX 26 here in Houston who also specialized in ASMR.

From my own experience, there are two individuals whom often dabble with ASMR- one on YouTube, and another on Twitch. I often think of the beautiful Tingting on YouTube, and I also think of Amouranth on Twitch.

ASMR Examples.

I will feature three different videos here. Because I know of only two individuals who specialize in ASMR, I figured I'd feature both of them in this one section from the previous section. So allow me to introduce to you TingTing and Amouranth as they provide ASMR for you. The two videos for Tingting and Amouranth will mostly be random.

But first, let me share the advertisement during Super Bowl LIII. Take a look:

^ The Pure Experience | Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold Super Bowl 2019

Up now is an example of an ASMR session from the beautiful Tingting. Subscribe to her channel if you enjoy her work:

This is Amouranth from Twitch. Amouranth usually live streams ASMR on Twitch. You may subscribe to Amouranth on YouTube and follow her on Twitch if you enjoy her work. Here is an example of her ASMR work on YouTube for you to enjoy:

And finally, a local news team here in Houston tried their hand at ASMR. The result? See for yourself:

^ Houston's Morning Show tries ASMR (FOX 26 Houston)

Now you have an idea of what ASMR is about through these examples.

Can ASMR Be Helpful?

The benefits of ASMR are understandable. I personally am not into this kind of thing, but MANY people worldwide are drawn to the appeal of ASMR. There is a certain art and science of the use of certain sounds to provide theraputic and relaxing values.

ASMR: Final Thoughts

---

I am someone who does not take part in various Internet trends or social phenomena. One of those, being ASMR. For those who are into ASMR, though, I am not one to tell people how to live or what decisions to make. I will say that at least ASMR is something positive and something useful. I am just not as crazy about or as involved with ASMR as most social media types are.

Other Resources/Reading.

The best resource I can provide regarding ASMR is the one below. Feel free to learn more about ASMR from a much more qualified source than I. Also find some of the latest video material on ASMR from YouTube and Twitch:

• Autonomous sensory meridian response (Wikipedia)
• ASMR YouTube search (find YouTube material on ASMR)
• ASMR Twitch search (find Twitch material on ASMR)

Maybe with some added interest, I could find some more resources for you all to enjoy if I decide to post edits and updates to this blog post. I try to be as educated as much as possible to provide professional posts. However, I am sure there are things I have screwed up, so I am hopeful my more educated audience can assist me so that I provide the best possible material with little or no backlash.





This blog post has now concluded. Care to discuss? Here is my discussion to you:

What do you think about ASMR? Can it benefit people; and if so, in what ways?

This topic was a bit unique apart from my usual discussion of life issues. I just wanted to take a special look at ASMR just to bring it to light. I hope you appreciate my efforts. Meanwhile, thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
