Age Less / Live More 619: ASMR Brain Tingles with Craig Richard
Bob Ross was a popular PBS painting instructor in the 80s and 90s, but little did he know that decades later, he’d develop a cult following of people who simply wanted to hear his voice. Why? Because it triggers an autonomous sensory meridian response, known as ASMR. ASMR is a well-studied phenomenon that creates a pleasant tingling sensation on the skin, relieves stress and helps you sleep. My guest on this week’s podcast is an academic, author, and expert on the subject.
Listen and learn:
- About paresthesia “brain tingles” from soothing voices and sounds
- Misophonia triggers that can be confusing
- The history of ASMR
- Potential self-care and soothing benefits
