    The best ASMR is rarely meant as ASMR. Yes this is meant to bring about peace and tranquility, but ASMR wasn't the intended goal.

    • @TheSheaminator
      @TheSheaminator Před 7 lety +18

      Auto...sensory... it's that tingly feeling you get when you hear or see a certain kind of stimulus, whether that be a relaxing voice, or seeing someone perform a slow deliberate movement. There can be many triggers and there are many videos available to explore. Welcome to the rabbit hole of ASMR. Enjoy.

    I've found my original comment from half a decade ago. Here it is, and I quote:
    "I've got a tingling sensation just below the back of my neck
    I can't believe I've seen an actual Japanese Tea Ceremony . . . WITH SOUND!
    It was really lovely"
    Re-watching it today and I still get the same sensation. I don't know what it is, but a guy replied to me back then with somewhat interesting "explaination" and I use the term very loosely because it doesn't explain exactly why I get this feeling. Here is that comment:
    "@AriochStarr I get that sensation when I'm learning/watching something
    interesting. You're actually the first person I've known that has had
    the same thing."
    It kinda does make sense as I do find it interesting, even if it is slightly. It's really weird what I'm generally feeling, though. Just out of curiosity, does anyone else have the same tingling sensation?

    I like watching video's like this because it's relaxing and it helps me slow down in order to not become a burnout figuratively and literally speaking. If someone just keeps moving without taking things easy you will shorten your life span and most likely be less happy with yourself throughout that life span as well. Watching these video's helps with that problem. I live in the U.S and people think I am crazy for doing this until I tell them that being alive is important as well and should not be taken for granted.

      Accepted Giant i would believe you. :) i believe that when we believe in ourselves, life becomes more real and accessible. one of my most favourite quotes is 'can you remember who you were before the world told you how to be', which is why understanding ourselves creates peace of mind. i am aware it sounds simple to some, but since i discovered this, i have been free falling into every emotion and i have never been more full as a human until i reached self acceptance. :)xx peace to you my san! :)

    • @Titan-jg1fj
      @Titan-jg1fj Před 9 lety +4

      Charlotte Roberts You know I never heard that explained to me that way and it's obvious you knew that. You see I only recently totally accepted myself only about this time last year (Oct6th2013) and that is why I chose the name accepted giant. Of course the giant part is more literal then symbolic because I am 6'6" tall in real life. I only knew of that peace of mind you where talking about for only just over a year(I am 37 now). I was not even in denial I was simply to distracted by everyday survival to be able to function correctly. I am built like a tank but I am still made out of flesh and blood like everyone else. Usually I am the one who really has the wisdom in most debates but this time I found someone who is wiser then me. I find that rather refreshing and relaxing somehow. :)

    • @charlotteroberts501
      @charlotteroberts501 Před 9 lety +3

    I love the show of the elements and the power they give to the ceremony. The wind prayer was beautiful and I love the water blessing on both the cup and the earthen pot at the end. What a wonderful artist. Thank you for sharing this ancient skill. May I one day know such calm grace over a cup of tea! xxxooo

    @ChaosDynamics It's about tradition and ceremony. We all have different values. They feel that drinking tea is an important event and should be honored with a ceremony. When my son graduated from school there was a commencement assembly, a dinner and a dance. He could have had his diploma mailed and eaten a bowl of cereal at home. It would have been cheaper, and easier but it wouldn't be the same thing. Ceremony helps us note important things in life, like drinking a good cup of tea.

    Monk: This is terrible.
    Jack: Really?
    Monk: Yes. Quite terrible. It has all the necessary ingredients, but lacks the most crucial one: balance. I see why the path to your sword is clouded.

    The natural audio completes this video. Notice the sound of hot water being poured is markedly different from that of cold/room temp water.

    I was talking more about today's Western culture with tea. However, if you watch an elderly British person prepare tea, it is an elegant process. You can also get glances of gong fu tea preparation. Like how they warm up their tea pot first and then dump the rinse water. Some even do a rinse of their tea like in traditional gong fu. But in today's modern culture, it's been popularized to have the lowest grade of tea being steeped waaaay too long in water not even the correct temperature.

    I wonder if the reason behind the elaborate ceremony was to demonstrate cleanliness back in the days of ancient Japan. If you watch the ceremony there are 3 parts: Cleaning the bowl and utensils before use, making the tea/drinking the tea, cleaning the bowl and utensils after use. It begins to make sense that there was a lot of form added to the function.
