If you are not familiar with the term, ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response; it describes a “tingly feeling that travels from the head downward that some experience in response to certain sounds, feelings, or descriptions. These can include soft whispering, crinkling paper, or a gentle touch” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
It is said that these sensations can spread across the skull, down the neck, and through the spine and limbs, for some.
