How is this unintentional ASMR? Are you human or a bot?

@vincentvalentino

Hi Vincent, of course it's okay to post it here. You're more than welcome to post your other ASMR videos too :)

BTW, did you produce this video yourself? It looks very professional.

Anyone is welcome to use these forums, but here a few guidelines you should follow:

1) No adult content

Don't post any links, images, videos, or any content that contains adult themes. If it's not allowed on YouTube, it's not allowed here.

2) No bullying

Just treat others with respect and dignity. As a general rule of thumb if you wouldn't say it to your mother than you probably shouldn't say it to others.

In addition, refrain from comments that are:

• Racist
• Sexist
• Discriminatory in any way

3) No commercial advertising

If you want to promote your product, brand, etc, then contact us first before posting.

Note that this does not apply individual ASMR artists. You're more than welcome to post your own ASMR videos and channel(s).

4) No Spaste links nor any URL shorteners

If you want to promote an ASMR video, only YouTube links are allowed.

Hi Kyle-Andre, welcome to the forums! :)

DaVinci Resolve is a good video editing program that's free. It's quite powerful and you should be able to sync up your audio and video with it.

No spaste links are allowed. Only YouTube videos.

Sorry, had to remove your link as URL shorteners are not allowed. Please update the post with the YouTube URL.

Hi mlssufan01, welcome to the forums.

I moved your thread to the general section under ASMR talk, it's more fitting here than in off-topic.

But for me, my favorite unintentional asmr videos include GarraStyle and animals that give you personal attention, like monkeys that pick at your skin for flees.

Hi ASMRSadie, welcome to the forum! :)

Nice videos, feel free to submit any of them to get featured on the homepage.

@'GavinWB':

That does help. I was actually able to have some degree of success yesterday. I found a few videos that triggered me, and I felt great. One thing I did notice is that it almost seemed like I had to be primed. Usually, it would take me at least 10 minutes to start feeling anything. I'll post the links to the videos that worked for me at the bottom. I spent a good portion of the day, at least a few hours, triggering my ASMR.

However, is it possible to over trigger your ASMR, to the point that it won't work for a while? I've been trying to trigger it today and haven't had much success, to the point where once I found myself thinking "come on, work. This worked yesterday."

This video is the one that absolutely had the greatest effect on me.

This one felt really nice too. I admit, the roleplay portion made me feel a little awkward (though it seems like acts of service is what worked the best on me as a kid and teenager)

And I also watched this one to try to find some triggers that might work. I didn't have much success until later in the video. The Starburst wrapper worked slightly. But, her scraping the plate as the second to last trigger in the video definitely gave me some tingles. What worked even better was the last trigger. When she was scraping the zylophone that felt really nice at times.

I am so glad to finally have a name for this thing that has happened to me for my whole life, and I am so glad to be a part of this community. Until yesterday, I thought I was the only one, and I went my first 29 years of life thinking I was.

Interesting, okay there is one thing you can do which would probably transcend your ASMR into possibly divine bliss. You just need to reinforce the mind whenever you are able to trigger ASMR successfully. Enjoying or even loving it through loving-kindness meditation would prove most helpful.

I say this because ASMR triggers a hypnotic state which is similar to a flow-like meditative state. It's quite easy to gain unification of mind during the ASMR experience. Reinforcing it further increases unification of mind which gives rise to effortless attention.

And during all this the unification of mind produces its own unique joy, pleasure, and tranquility. It's called piti in buddhist terms, but I'm not a buddhist. Hope this helps.  :)

Also, don't worry about not being able to trigger it. In fact, just accept the situation, Don't try to fix it. Rather, strengthen your intention to feel ASMR but in a gentle and joyful way rather than a forced one where you feel like you have to work at it.

HI Gavin, welcome to the forums.

Don't worry, no you can't lose ASMR. ASMR is a reaction produced by the mind. It's not a depletable resource just as emotions are not depletable.

In my opinion, genuine ASMR arises unexpectedly. When we expect ASMR, like when we watch ASMR videos for instance, we either consciously or subconsciously create certain expectations that prevent ASMR from fully arising. At first these expectations have a weak influence on the mind and don't significantly affect ASMR response but overtime they strengthen and gradually start to weaken the ASMR response until it stops arising altogether.

So what's the solution? The easiest way is to completely forget about ASMR for a while. By completely I mean don't even try to forget about it, just let it go by itself. There's literally nothing to do other than wait. I'd say a few weeks should do the trick, but it might take longer for some people than for others.

But the best solution is to start being mindful at all times. Not only can mindfulness allow you to drop expectations much more easily, but it can also enhance the ASMR experience by reducing the influence of negative emotions that are always being pushed by the unconscious mind. It doesn't matter whether or not you feel the negative emotions, their impact remains.

By the way, when I say mindfulness I'm referring to awareness. Awareness is aware by itself. There's nothing to do to make yourself aware so don't fall into that trap. Just simply ask yourself "Am I aware?" and feel how it is to be aware. If done correctly you should also notice self-awareness or awareness of awareness.

As awareness improves you should start to be able to notice the expectations arise either consciously as thoughts or subconsciously as feelings in the body. And when this happens you'll be able to much more easily drop them.

Hope this helps.

That article is just sensationalism with no scientific basis whatsoever. They seem to be concerned with hearing loss. As though ASMR is known for having loud sounds. No, this article is nonsense.

The only danger with ASMR is relaxing too much and falling asleep.

I would argue that ASMR gives us many benefits. Stress is one of the leading causes of illnesses and death. And ASMR directly decreases stress.

That's really cool. If I were you I'd start meditating with it. Yeah, you're right that you can call it meditation. Meditation isn't how most people think it is. It's not quieting your mind nor is it just paying attention to the sensations of the breath. Meditation is simply repeating an intention and accepting the outcome.

You don't need to sit down nor close your eyes to meditate. You can do it anywhere, any time. Just repeat the intention to feel the ASMR and let it grow. All the while remain aware that you're feeling the ASMR and be aware that you are aware.

The feelings should grow in even more intensity and if you can manage to keep your mind on the ASMR then over time an unusual pleasure can arise. This pleasure is unique to meditation and is caused by unification of mind. I'm not a buddhist but it's called piti and sukha in buddhism in case you wanna look them up. Profound peace and relaxation can become your default state of being if you start meditating.
