ASMR

[JohnDB]

ASMR
a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus.

Now I don't agree with some of this.
"Gentle" has never been a part of mine...now that I know what you call it.

I understand that many people get it from soft voices and sounds...

Mine can come from a perfect flavor that I didn't know that I was missing for a long time.
Or a surprise from a friend who practiced hard at singing and nails some difficult notes with their voice.

Sometimes my wife can give me one by rubbing my shoulders or a hug.
It's often described as filling a hole in your soul that you didn't know that you were missing.

What gets your ASMR going?

Mine would be when I'm out in the kitchen cooking and hubby being 6 feet and I being 5'4" comes and gives me a hug that makes me feel so safe and secure in his loving arms.

Another one is those movies that lift up the spirit in me and will make me so emotional that I usually end up crying tears of joy.

Do you really want to know?

Are you sorry you asked yet? LOL

Holding a baby
Seeing a couple holding hands
Getting a nose rub off my cat
Signing hymns that are special to me
Feeling sunshine on my face

Holding a grand baby

Walking along our stream with my dog.

Conversing with my extremely smart
9 year old granddaughter.

Being on the beach.

Imagining I am on top of Stonyman Mountain in Virginia.

Getting a nose rub off my cat

When you said that it also made me think of something else that I get that feeling from. Cats grooming themselves. I found out one time while Jessie was bathing that I was starting to fall asleep so I sometimes listen to this at night and it seems to do the trick.

I also like to listen to them eating as well.

We have a pair of outside cats. I feed them but would never stick around long enough to listen to them eating, or grooming themselves for that matter!

Lol, I know I'm weird just in case you haven't figured it out by now. I can't stand sharp objects but yet listening to somebody pretending to remove them from my face (which I would be extremely squeamish about) relaxes me for some strange reason beyond the realm of my understanding. (Probably the soft whispering voice that dose it though)

By the way, are they actually yours or strays that you just happen to feed?

Wow. Everyone has wonderful ASMR! Love it.

This sound puts me in a zen/happy place. I think it's cause I would hear it waking up in the mornings in Montana as a child. I felt peaceful and protected.

I know what doves sound like because we get them all the time around here.

They are ours. Adopted from the Humane Society. Spayed and neutered. They are sister and brother.
Up to date on shots. My wife and a couple sons fool with them a lot. In the winter we bring them in for toasting by the wood stove for twenty minutes or so at a time. I am allergic to cats.
They can sleep in the barn. We have enclosed beds there. Or in an enclosed bed on top a table on our wraparound porch. We have had cats this way for forty years and they live a typical lifespan, 3-4 years. We just go back to the Humane Society and get more.

Funnily enough I used to be as well, but I seemed to outgrow that when I got older. Thank goodness for that as well considering I own a cat myself.

Oh yes I also love listening to running water, rain, and thunderstorms.
