Have you heard of the ASMR phenomenon that’s taking over social media?

If not, don’t worry because I am going to tell you all about it.

You probably have seen videos on YouTube or TikTok where someone has recorded themselves while giving an enjoyable sensory experience such as tapping their fingers against different surfaces.

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.

Physiologically, it brings a pleasurable sensation that is induced by learning to recognize specific sounds.

It’s still an “unstudied” concept, but there are millions of ASMR videos online.

One study from the University of Sheffield in England says that ASMR creates “tingling sensations in the crown of the head, in response to a range of audio-visual triggers such as whispering, tapping, and hand movements.”

ASMR and The Brain

The possible health advantages of ASMR videos are one of the key factors contributing to their current popularity.

Many individuals claim that watching these videos has improved their ability to manage mental health issues including sadness and anxiety.

Some claim that watching ASMR videos might aid with insomniac symptoms.

Additionally, a lot of individuals on the Internet gush about how ASMR helps them activate the feeling that will improve their ability to manage stress.

However, there is still a lack of research regarding ASMR and the scientific community is only just starting to recognize it.

So far, most studies suggest that ASMR could be an effective tool to reduce stress and improve focus in our current fast-paced lifestyles.

The Common Triggers of ASMR

Another thing that you should note about ASMR is that not everyone responds to it.

But for those who respond to it, refer to certain triggers that make them feel the “tingles.”

Here are some of the most common ASMR triggers:

• Whispers
• Soft speech
• Chewing sounds
• Repetitive sounds
• Tapping sounds

But again, these are just some of them.

There are a lot of ASMRs out there simply because everyone experiences them differently.

ASMR and Meditation

Sounds such as ocean waves, chanting, and vibrational tones are often used for meditation.

These sounds have a profound healing effect on one’s moods and emotions.

Research has shown that certain types of sounds can truly help a person in certain tasks.

In meditation, the prefrontal cortex activity increases.

This is a part of the frontal lobe that is used in various complex behaviors and contributes to personality development.

Sound healing is very popular in meditation.

It’s a form of a focused awareness type of meditation, which is also referred to as sound baths.

Sound baths use tools such as Tibetan singing bowls, bells, etc.

A study in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine shows that an hour of sound meditation helped people reduce fatigue, anxiety, anger, tension, and depression; at the same time, it helped them increase their spiritual sense of well-being.

As you can see, ASMR can also be used to improve your meditation.

If you’re one of the people whom ASM appeals to, then you might want to give it a shot.

Meditation requires you to cleanse your mind and have a clear focus.

As mentioned, ASMR can help relax you which will help you focus on one thing.

Using ASMR to Manifest Your Desires

With so many videos of ASMR out there today, I’m pretty sure that you will be able to find a video that will resonate with you the most.

How do you know if it’s the right video for you? Well, it sends tingles in your brain that push you to relax.

When the mind is relaxed, you’ll find it easier to clear your thoughts and focus. And in meditation, these things are very important.

When you reach this level, you’ll be able to manifest what you want in your life. Take in the Law of Attraction.

To get what you want, you have to focus on it already in your life, which means that you need the right level of focus to do just that.

Consider ASMR as another form of sound meditation that will help you with the manifestation process.

You can watch ASMR videos first before you meditate.

Or you can listen to it while you meditate. Choose whatever you’ll feel comfortable in!

Always remember that in meditation and manifestation, if you choose to use sound as a tool, any sound can be the object of your focus.

When we bring our mindfulness to a particular sound, we allow it to impact us at that very moment.

Level up your meditation practice and start manifesting better. Do this every day and see how it will impact your life.

Trying new meditation tools can help you boost your meditation practice.

In turn, it will let you be more open to the universe and the things that you want to manifest.

Go and try something new. Maybe ASMR is the answer to your manifestation journey.

Have you ever tried ASMR before?
