Sometimes the events in our lives feel immediately good or bad, hopeful or hopeless. But the mind has a habit of evaluating too quickly — and those instant judgments can quietly fuel anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm. In tonight’s whispered ASMR, I share a very old story often known as The Chinese Farmer. It is a simple but powerful way of stepping back from the habit of constantly judging events and instead allowing life to unfold with a little more psychological space. As the story unfolds, you may notice your mind beginning to soften its grip on worry about the future, helping your nervous system settle and your thoughts slow. This video also includes a gentle layer of Schumann resonance sound, which some people find creates a grounding, immersive listening experience — especially when using headphones. For the best experience, listen with earphones and a comfortable place to rest. If you’re here tonight, I’m very glad you chose this video. 💤 Research & Sleep Information https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8669214/ https://www.sleep.theclinics.com/article/S1556-407X(21)00068-2/fulltext https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6287726/ 💤 Credentials: https://tinyurl.com/asmrpsychologist 💤 Support the Channel Channel membership (early access & monthly Q&A): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7O3Q7v Support via PayPal: https://paypal.me/asmrpsychologist 💤 Other Channels in The ASMR Psychologist Network Main Channel https://www.youtube.com/@TheASMRPsychologist ASMR for Insomnia https://www.youtube.com/@asmrforinsomnia ASMR for Neurodivergence https://www.youtube.com/@ASMRforneurodivergence ASMR 8 Hour Sleep https://www.youtube.com/@asmr8hoursleep Merch ASMR Psychologist Mug https://teespring.com/asmr-psychologist
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
