Have you heard of this?

Good evening readers of the world!
Are we excited to be seeing Friday tomorrow? I am, that is for sure. Personally, I don't know how much I am going to write about this. I just kind of want to read my book. But I know that this post might actually hold a very huge interest or it might just freak you out. It really depends on how you see it.

Have you heard of this new way of relaxing? Something to lull your brain into something that encourages it to relax, to slow the feeling of time itself? Have you felt it the way I have been feeling it?
This new thing is also known as ASMR or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. I stumbled upon this whilst reading Elle magazine, where the writers went into a research of this thing that has also been called 'Braingasm'? It basically relaxes and lulls the brain into a peaceful and tingling sensation, through audio and video response.

There have been a few YouTube channels, where they specialise in making videos based around ASMR, using calm whispering voices while they record themselves touching and feeling variety of objects around the home or any objects that have been know to calm a person. For example; hair stroking, the sound of bristles of a hairbrush, touching/scratching and generally feeling books, methodically folding a piece of paper or tapping a steady rhythm.
A lot of people have been using this ASMR and watching videos based around it upon YouTube as a way to help them sleep at night, to find that pleasant feeling within their mind, to release all the days stress and leave behind the big bad day.


I personally had a go at trying out ASMR at night, as I was relaxing in bed and preparing myself to sleep. Normally as I prepare to sleep, I would use my time in bed to daydream. I create loads of pictures in my head, some that are real and some that are not. To help me to lull myself to sleep, I dive into my imagination and visit the varies of worlds that I have either 1: have read in a book or 2: it something I have completely made up and I have created my own little adventure just before I sleep.
This is why, I was so happy to come across a video based around reading Alice in Wonderland. Now, we all know the story of Alice in Wonderland don't we? If you people out there reading don't? I only have one one thing to say to you, "you haven't read a book written by an author who was so high he wanted to create a smoking caterpillar?!" Just saying.
I love Alice in Wonderland, I love the story. I love how just reading it makes me value my individuality and uniqueness that others may find weird. I love Alice in Wonderland, (yes, a dedication Tattoo is forming).
Watching this video of some female talking gently to the mic and slowly ending in a whisper was enough to help me go to sleep, it reminded me of a time my Auntie Anne tried to help me and my brother and sister to sleep by talking to us in a hush tone and asking us to imagine a beautiful scene of waterfalls and fields. That was into my brother or my sister started laughing, most likely my brother because he is an asshole. (Lol, love that idiot and yes that sister too). The creator used different techniques to touching the book which could be heard and she really did give me that sense of a peaceful state of mind. It explains a lot on why, when I read a book in bed I have fallen asleep countless of times. She also used a pop-up children's version of the story, so you was able to hear the creak of card as she unfolded certain areas of the book or she would tap downwards the page as she told the story. I will tell you now, yes I dreamt of having a tea party with the Mad Hatter and no, I was not on drugs.

If you think you would want to give this ago. I strongly suggest this channel to give it a whirl around.
GentleWhispering. That was the channel that held the Alice in Wonderland ASMR. She also does a variety of different ways to help you relax and go into that peaceful state of mind.

Goodbye for now!
