Realistic Full Body Esalen Massage ~ The Coolest Massage You've Never Heard Of 🌟 ASMR Soft Spoken RP

Esalen Massage is a blend of Swedish massage, yoga, tai chi, craniosacral work, and was even influenced by founders of modalities like Feldenkrais Method, Trager Approach, & Rolfing. Esalen is a relaxation massage in every sense of the word, focusing on literal full body massage with long, sweeping strokes like the waves of the ocean. This video features a simulated Esalen massage session with some craniosacral & Trager Approach techniques to immerse and soothe you while gentle water laps in the background :) Despite my excitement for this modality and the "probably part of an MLM" persona I took in the video, Esalen massage & the modalities related to & influencers of are all 📢 PSEUDOSCIENCE 📢 From Wikipedia: "Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method." This video is only intended for relaxation purposes, and I'm just an actor on the Internet.

Hope y'all enjoy, have a whale of a day! :) xx Calliope ❥ What Is ASMR? From Oxford Languages: "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, often a particular sound. 'ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage.'" ❥ I want y'all to have a safe environment here regardless of where you come from, who you love, what you look like, you name it. I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing. ❥ If you want to donate (but don't ever feel pressured to!)

I found ASMR back in 2011-ish when I was starting high school and it changed my life, so I wanted to create my own content and give back to the community. I'm known for my realistic medical RPs, as well as my pseudoscientific and historical RPs. ASMR is the most important thing in my life, and I hope to continue to make content for as long as possible. ❥ Channel intro created by Bearded Audio ASMR (   / @beardedaudioasmr  ) :) background image is “Close-up Photo of Green Leafed Plant” from user Aditya Aiyar on pexels.com, no attribution required. ❥ My equipment: Audio Recording – Rode NT1-A Microphones, 3Dio XLR Binaural Microphone, Blue Yeti Microphone, Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphones Filming – Lumix G85 Camera #asmr #asmrmassage #asmrpersonalattention
