In fact, some archeologists date meditation all the way back to 5000 BCE, when it was part of spiritual practices in Ancient Egypt and China. It is a central part of many ancient religions, such as Judaism, Hinduism, and, of course, Buddhism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, ASMR is a newcomer on the scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term ASMR\u2014which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response\u2014was coined as recently as 2010. And while the name is quite a mouthful, the sensation it describes is a familiar one. If you have ever felt a pleasant and relaxing tingling sensation on your scalp after hearing certain sounds, you\u2019ve experienced ASMR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10190\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1280,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"man in meditation pose\" class=\"wp-post-10187 wp-image-10190\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1651001416\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1024,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_960,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001416\/magazine\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094\/zen-pexels-mikhail-nilov-6945094.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-asmr\">What Is ASMR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may think of ASMR as a trend or YouTube phenomenon, it\u2019s beginning to garner more attention in the scientific and wellness communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major proponent of ASMR is Dr. Craig Richard, author of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brain-Tingles-Triggering-Head-Toe\/dp\/150720762X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book<\/a> <em>Brain Tingles: The Secret to Triggering Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response for Improved Sleep, Stress Relief, and Head-to-Toe Euphoria. <\/em>In this book, he attempts to explain why ASMR evolved in humans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One possibility is that it is a genetic response designed to help us feel relaxed, mitigate stress hormones and promote overall health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More research is needed, but it\u2019s likely connected to the way primates from monkeys to chimpanzees to humans soothe their offspring<sup>. <\/sup>When soothing her baby, a mother hushes her tone and provides gentle touch.

Whether you get tingly listening to crunchy food, rustling leaves or soft whispers, the feeling can instantly relax your muscles and create a sense of calm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not clear whether ASMR itself is a form of meditation. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/asmr-anxiety\">research<\/a> classifies it as such because it provides many of the same benefits that meditation does. It can lower your heart rate and help combat anxiety, depression and insomnia. Beyond helping you relax, ASMR has real benefits for well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, others point to the fact that ASMR is more than just a feeling. Like meditation, it\u2019s about paying attention to minute <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/magazine\/blue-mind-benefits-of-beach-walks-and-meditation\/\">sensory experiences to tune out a restless mind<\/a>. Many forms of meditation encourage you to focus on the sound of your breath or the wind in the trees and let go of the thinking mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others do not consider ASMR meditation as such, as it refers to a bodily response rather than a practice. As opposed to ASMR, meditation and mindfulness are not just about relaxation. Rather, it\u2019s an approach to life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s about <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/magazine\/practice-of-being-in-the-present-moment\/\">developing awareness of the things around you<\/a> and being able to focus on the things that matter while letting go of the things that do not serve you.<sup> <\/sup>However, ASMR could be a tool to help you in your <a href=\"https:\/\/mindworks.org\/blog\/asmr-meditation\/\">mindfulness journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10191\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1281,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"woman meditating in jungle\" class=\"wp-post-10187 wp-image-10191\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1651001411\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1025,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_801,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_961,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001411\/magazine\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289\/meditation-practice-in-jungle-pexels-pnw-production-8981289.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-than-a-mantra\">More Than a Mantra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may not consider ASMR as a form of meditation, it can certainly work in tandem with meditation as part of a daily routine to improve your well-being.

But if you\u2019re interested, by all means, try it out and see if it compliments your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to meditation, ASMR may be just what you need to kickstart your practice.

In addition, the health benefits that we described above are becoming increasingly clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, ASMR is not a replacement for meditation practice. It\u2019s still important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogabody.com\/breathing\/\">incorporate breathwork<\/a> and cultivate mindfulness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it is best to consider ASMR and meditation as working in tandem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its physical and emotional benefits are undeniable. But it is better thought of as one of the tools in your meditation toolbox rather than the center of your wellness routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"2121\" height=\"1414\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10194\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyMTIxIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE0MTQiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiPjxhbmltYXRlIGF0dHJpYnV0ZU5hbWU9ImZpbGwiIHZhbHVlcz0icmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC4xKTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSkiIGR1cj0iMnMiIHJlcGVhdENvdW50PSJpbmRlZmluaXRlIiAvPjwvcmVjdD48L3N2Zz4=\" alt=\"Woman with headphones breathing on a bench in winter\" class=\"wp-post-10187 wp-image-10194\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1651001403\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"2121 1414\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 2121w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1024,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2048,h_1365,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 2048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1280,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_960,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1651001403\/magazine\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599\/woman-listening-to-music-asmr-meditation-practice-AntonioGuillem-iStock-1289964599.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s Not for Everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We should add as a caveat that the ASMR response does not reveal itself easily to everyone.

It\u2019s certainly not necessary to <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/magazine\/evolution-meditation-practices-work-for-you\/\">develop a healing and relaxing meditation routine<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you find particular stimuli, create an ASMR response, by all means, incorporate it into your meditation practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may find that your meditation sessions are deeper because of it and that your sleep and emotional well-being improve, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Vacayou<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Vacayou [pronounced VACAY &#8211; YOU], we believe that travel has the power to change lives.
