Have you ever felt a pleasant tingling sensation in the neck area; sometimes travelling down your spine? If you have, it could be that you have experienced an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). We can’t be exactly sure just of just what ASMR is, but we do know that there are certain triggers that cause the phenomenon.

Anybody can go to YouTube and find videos of people deliberately using ASMR triggers. They use a number of techniques, and some videos are more effective than others are. Here we have listed some of the most common triggers you are likely to encounter.

1. Whispering

We will often whisper when we try to prevent people from hearing us, but did you know that whispering is also an ASMR trigger? Not only is it a trigger, but whispering is also the one you are most likely to encounter and it is sometimes used in conjunction with other triggers. Not all people using this technique actually whisper and some will simply talk softly instead, but it tends to have the same effect. It is also possible to enhance the effect by creating the audio file in a way that the sound is only played in one speaker, and then alternates to the other.
