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. Channel Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/c/EphemeralRift/playlists?view=1&sort=lad&flow=grid Website ► https://ephemeralrift.com Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/ephemeral.rift/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/ephemeralrift1 Flickr ► https://www.flickr.com/photos/ephemeralrift/ Listen to select audio works outside of YouTube: Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/artist/6WJUD0ljiIwxmbEzpb4onm iTunes ► https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ephemeral-rift/602599265 Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/ephemeralriftWhat is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium. 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.
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).
