What is ASMR?

Have you ever experienced a tingly sensation from a sound you heard but couldn't understand why? Have you ever become sleepy from hearing the sound of someone's voice or become enchanted by the sounds of someone brushing their hair or chewing gum? If you have then you have experienced asmr.

Autonomous sensory Meridian Response or better know as ASMR is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs as defined by the ASMR Research & Support.

Welcome

Thanks for stopping by my site. ASMR is something that I have experienced every since I was a small child I just didn't know what to call it. I just liked when people played in my hair and smacked on gum. You can imagine that I was thrilled when I found this small following on YouTube of people who knew actually understood and experience the same things I had experienced  Although there is not too much information on the internet about it there is a growing following and I want to be apart of the movement and spread the word of ASMR. Stay tuned for more updates and I encourage feedback and interaction here. This is a judgement free zone and I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and sharing your experiences.

Happy ASMR
