Dedicated to those out there who deal with anxiety, worry and rumination, which the more you think about it, is probably 99% if not all of the population at some point in their lives. I start off with some deep breathing and calming hand movements, then finish with the sounds of a few objects, all the while talking about these and other related topics, especially how we can learn to manage them.

Expect more "ASMR for" videos such as: for students, the working class, misanthropes / misanthropists, etc.

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.

ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.

Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
