ASMR (Or Rather, That Ecstatic Head Tingle)

Argh, I suppose I should have used the Search function: www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread710252/pg1; regardless, why is that thread in the Paranormal section? That's a bit weird.

Anyway, a couple more links......

I started getting the head tingling thing around 2008. I found this thread because I was worried it felt too good to be normal (my posts are as Draves):

Now I find you posting a lot more info on it as well as sites dedicated to it. I don't know about you, but back in 2008 I spent hours trying to find something about it, and a hippy forum was all I found. I didn't want to talk to my family about, for risk of sounding crazy so I spent hours looking up info. I found hippies Well what ever helps right?

This thread really makes me wonder if it is happening more often.

Here's a nice blog with various video's I found for those with ASMR:

Holy crap,

I've had this too, all my life..Mine mainly comes when I watch someone learning something, or reading. I've always explained it to myself as a "knowledge uptake/absorption frequency that people broadcast. that I pick up/receive".

music and watching people write can do it too. I can create it spontaneously if I concentrate like in a meditative state..but its not as intense as the natural ones. I was researching this a bit today and ran across the ATS link and laughed.. I've been reading ATS since the beginning(but only joined last year). what a coincidence..or as George Noory would say "there are no coincidences."

I haven't done oodles of research into the topic however, I am familiar with the sensation. Although I don't think my triggers are like most peoples. I have viewed several ASMR videos to try and trigger the response but none seem to do the trick. I have found that a few songs can trigger the response in me.

The last third of this song:
Seems to trigger a tingle that goes from my head down my back and is what I would think a ASMR sensation feels like.

Actually you can get a product to induce this feeling;

This is very similar to a lot of sensations felt while meditating.

Could there be a connection here?

I would say I'm a type B if this is what I think it is.

Whenever I listen to some inspirational music or watch an enlightening video I get a 'chill down my spine" usually starting at the top of my head. I really enjoyed this sensation when I first experienced it and have since learnt how to amplify it when I experience it. So now if I listen to some really good uplifting music and I get the sensation I hold onto it, make it stronger and make it spread over my body.

The cause = an uplifted spirit.
