Welcome to a very last-minute, impromptu video recorded in my garage while it's raining at night. This video was planned to be a speaking version of the prior video, but I thought the rain hitting the garage roof would make for some great ambiance. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of trigger sounds in this video due to the sound of the rain pretty much taking care of that. So I opted to read and and talk a bit more instead. 00:16 A lil' Native American Flute intro 03:05 Chalkboard writing 08:00 Tibetan singing bowl 13:33 D&D; video week after this video 15:00 Bloodborne video still planned! 15:40 Reading from Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra 25:22 Reading from a vintage medical book 34:45 Exploring a road atlas 43:00 Album collection 50:00 Some final thoughts & words of encouragement for those dealing with various mental health issues such as PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, etc. This video was supposed to be out Tuesday 5/3/16, but as Murphy's law would have it: "Anything that can go wrong, will." Minor tech snafu.

What is ASMR? In my subjective view, ASMR is 2 things: a sensation and a medium (like music for example). The sensation itself (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 and personal attention. ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to relieve their anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, to serve as a study aid and much more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, not much different than the mediums of music and painting. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy affect.
