ASMR:  Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs.

Everyone’s personal triggers will vary slightly, what works for other people won’t necessarily work for you. Some just find it creepy. 



 Some describe a tingling, buzzing, warm, relaxing sensation that runs through your brain and all over your body when triggered by a certain stimulus. For some people, it ends in sleep. For others, it results in a sort of meditative state, where your whole body is buzzing for a prolonged period of time.

Visit the site below.  Use headphones.  Close your eyes.  Does it feel like you're getting your hair cut?



Along the same lines is this longer, relaxation piece that some use to fall asleep.
