Inside the Whispery, Wonderful Golden Age of ASMR

ASMR is a tingling sensation that can be triggered by reasons as varied as the people listening. For example, some people never get it from audio but only from interacting with others, like listening to someone tell a story or explain something in detail. Usually people's first experience is by accident and something they recall later rather than a purposeful attempt through youtube videos.

If you like rainymood then perhaps your trigger is rain and weather sounds, and these other videos (which admittedly look low quality) are just not your thing. There's also a lot of content out there so you'll have to put in some effort into finding what works for you.

A tingling feeling similar to my experience of AMSR (based on the whispering Youtube videos) happens when I inhale sharply and focus on the back of my head. Doing so also tilts my head back everso slightly.

If I concentrate more, I need not inhale sharply, just normal breathing will do. The tingling happens always at the in-breath.

A strong tingle persists over the out breath too.

If I keep (over) doing it, it vanishes for some time. All this led me to believe it is muscle related somehow, and the vanishing effect is because of muscle fatigue. What muscle/muscles - no clue, something on the scalp I guess.

I don't know of it's the same, but for me it feels like that.
