Hi Sarita, thank you very much for your recent comment.

ASMR – which stands for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response” – is the term applied to a spectrum of positive physical and/or psychological responses elicited when an individual hears, sees, experiences, etc certain types of sounds (including, but not limited to, whispered and soft-spoken voices) or activities.

For some people, these feelings include a physical sensation called “tingles”, which can occur in various parts of the body (the head, neck, and back are among the most common).

Not everyone experiences tingles from ASMR and those who listen to/watch ASMR content may do so for a broad range of reasons in addition to, or instead of, tingles themselves.

Some of the most common of which include relaxation, stress and anxiety management, to aid mental and physical health, and to help a person fall asleep.

The term “ASMR artist” or “ASMRtist” refers to someone who creates ASMR content. Presently, the largest pool of ASMRtists exists on YouTube – though ASMR content can be found on many online platforms as well spanning Tiktok to Twitch (and plenty of others, too).

If you search on YouTube for “ASMR” you will be greeted with countless thousands of videos and by watching some of them, can get a better sense of what ASMR is and if it’s something that you personally find relaxing/beneficial for yourself.

I hope that helps to answer your question and welcome any others that you may have.

Blessings of the Fall Equinox from my heart to yours,

Thank you deeply, dearest Willow. As are you, my conscientious and very caring friend. It is extremely important to me that one’s preferred pronouns (and name) are used whenever possible. Doing shows respect and just feels like the most natural thing to me.

This book really is a stellar, supportive and inspiring read. I’ve continued to dip into it multiple times this summer – including over the past month, as we’ve been living under the stress of huge local wildfires potentially reaching our neighbourhood. Knock wood and thank the universe, that hasn’t happened yet, but we have been put on evacuation alert twice throughout August (for a few days apiece) and continue to live with the risk of full-on evacuation looming near. We’re as prepared for such as one realistically can be and will tackle whatever life throws our way.

I really hope to pick up some of the author’s other titles and sense they’ll be every bit as spiritually and psychologically supportive.

Thank you again, my sweet friend. I truly appreciate your blog comments throughout the year.

Sunny hugs & joyful late August blessings,
🖤 Autumn

So grateful to have stumbled upon this review. I am beyond excited to get my hands on a copy ♡

I have an unrelated question…what is an ASMR artist. I have been coming across this term, ASMR, frequently of late but have been unable to find a meaning.

Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to exploring your sites further as they are filled with exciting, intriguing things.
Blessed be..xx

That’s awesome, my dear friend. Thank you very much for your encouraging feedback. I’m tickled pink to know that this book review resonated with you and really hope that you enjoy “A Mindful Evening”, if you pick up (or borrow) a copy.

As this stressful year has marched ever onward, I’ve returned time and time again to Dillard-Wright’s writing, finding comfort, support, hope, and inspiration in their soulful take on the human experience.

Many hugs & heartfelt thanks for all of your recent blog comments,
🖤 Autumn

What an awesome and very touching comment, dear Jennifer. I’m delighted to know that you were inspired to purchase some of this author’s titles based on this book review post.

It is my heartfelt pleasure. Dillard Wright’s related titles are high up on my reading wishlist as well.

Please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts on these books with me anytime. I’d love to hear your take(s) on them as well.

Many hugs & the serenest of summertime reading wishes,

Wonderfully put, dear Ivana. How right you are. As this year has been quite a bear both globally and personally, I’ve often found myself drawn to serene, introspective titles like A Mindful Evening all the more.

Anything (safe) we can do to help quell stress and worry right now is extra vital. This beautiful, insightful book helps me on that front and is one I know I’ll continue to revisit time and time again both this year and beyond.

Thank you very much for your lovely words. May you have a tranquil, safe, and very happy August.

🖤 Autumn
