ASMR videos are videos that you will find on You Tube and other video sharing websites which are designed to give you the head tingles associated with ASMR. They come in a variety of forms including; compilations of sounds, like tapping, scratching, etc; role-play videos, of doctor's appointments, massages, retail assistants, etc; and tutorial videos, towel folding, painting, drawing, etc.; among many others. They are primarily designed to trigger the viewers ASMR and promote the associate scalp tingles, but there are many reasons why you might like to watch them in different situations. Here are my top five.
1. Relaxation/Meditation - Have you had a stressful week at work? Maybe lots of project deadlines? ASMR videos are one of the greatest ways to release all this tension and relax. Maybe make yourself a cup of green tea and sit down somewhere comfortable with your favourite ASMR whisperer. The stress and tension will float away in no time at all.
2. Practice Mindfulness - Staying in the moment is something that many people struggle with in this modern world. Not only are there a million things to distract us, phone calls, email, Facebook, etc. There are also a million things that the media is telling us we need to worry about. Most of the time, however, the truth is that we only really need to think about what we are doing at this very moment. Complete concentration is almost becoming a lost art in the modern world of multitasking. When we are constantly distracted, we're not working to our full potential. ASMR videos can help us practice being completely in the moment. By giving us material which is not only profoundly relaxing, but is also completely absorbing it gives us a chance to get used to being entirely in the moment. The great thing about this is the more you practice mindfulness the easier it becomes, and you begin to take that perspective to all other aspects of your life.
3. Overcome Insomnia - A lot of us have trouble sleeping. Whether there is too much on our minds, or we are getting too distracted by our phones near our beds. Over time the mindfulness practice mentioned above will help with this, but when you can't sleep you need a quick fix right away. Luckily this is also something the ASMR videos can provide. Put in your headphones and set up your laptop beside you in bed. Then you can watch an ASMR video, which will not only distract you from everything in your head, but also relax you. Putting you in the ideal state for getting to sleep. You should always have some favorite ASMR videos ready incase you have trouble sleeping.
These are just three of many reasons why watching ASMR videos can be a great thing, so what are you waiting for, why not fire up an ASMR video right away?
