One of the few asmr artists who actually incorporates calm and relaxing lighting. Others expect me to go to sleep with a bright ass background and lighting smh.
You may already be doing this, but I find that having a blue-light filter timed to set to deep orange and low brightness really helps with overlit videos of any sort, especially the ASMR ones that I think you're mentioning. Hopefully that will help? :)
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind Ive got the filter on my PC but my crappy old Iphone cant do the bluelight filter sadly. I usually just turn the brightness right down to get round this problem.
What's cool is there is a brain games episode where people can't see there hands but can see the wood hands. Both in the same position. So when you see the wood hands being touched, your brain tricks itself to thinking your hands are being touched.

You know whats not dry? Wood, until it’s dried for use. Can’t build with or burn fresh cut wood. P.S. when will this tired, canned comment go away? Hasn’t it been long enough? Doesn’t the internet have any new material. Have some originality people!
David Shaw dude, it’s an asmr video, i didn’t come here to look through the comments. i am soo sorry to offend you with my lack of wood knowledge. let people enjoy themselves
You're so gentle. I wish I could find more videos with this amount of soft, careful, thoughtful gentleness. You're the only one I've found to do this at such an intensely kind level.
Oh my gosh this was sooooooo gooooood! At first I was put off by the wooden hands, but your voice and gentle hand movements just made me forget about it and then before I know it.....bam...... ...Im asleep....!
Bluewhisper: Have you been taking care of your hands lately? Looks at them disappointingly... Me: (Pinocchio) .....well....It wouldn’t be inaccurate to assume that I couldn’t exactly not say that it is or isn’t almost partially incorrect.
The way you handle the hands is so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, _gentle_ ... I'm not even sure how it's possible to be that soft. It mind-boggles me. It relaxes me so deeply because I've never seen such...DEEP, GENTLE SOFTNESS. No words can describe. Thank you. 🤣👏😁😁
@@fredericbeaudoin6850 The actual level of crisis is objectively far lower in severity than the reaction to it. It's a minor disease that kills at about the same rate as the flu, and has only infected a very tiny minority of people.
Such a soothing and relaxing voice in these harrowing times. What a gift you have blue whisperer! On behalf of myself and every other stressed out nurse in this world, I thank you greatly.
One of my favourite asmr videos in years. There is this phenomenon called rubber hand illusion which occurs when you watch someone else's hands eg in a video and get the feeling as if they were yours, eg when they are touched, you feel it on your hands. This is exactly what is happening here and I love it! Thank you so much for this excellent video ❤
I have watched this every night since it came out. I dont really get tingles but this CONSTANTLY gives them to me. And is so soft that I drift to sleep. Haven’t made it past the first 10 minutes though so I have no idea what happens.
Props to the Props Master and Scene Designer! Your viewers' stand-in is artfully creative in this time of "social distancing." A palm reading for this fellow would be interesting too I wager… The beautiful hanging flower arrangement and the low lighting made for a calming atmosphere. The soft spoken personal attention and the associated sounds are a very soothing experience. I listened to this on loop for quite a while and will no doubt come back to do so again. Great job as usual, thank you!
Working from home Quarantined and this was just what I needed to help get through this monday. Incredible work as always!! Thank you for making these amazing videos
I always come back to this video. I love that you took something that is usually a short moment in so many role play videos (but one of my biggest triggers) and turned it into a forty-six minute video!
I havent watched one of your videos in a while, but I've come back and i remembered how much i love you and your videos! Keep up the good work you are truly amazing!
This has to be your best video to date for me. Even a month after the video has come out, it’s put me to sleep without fail whenever I’m having trouble going to sleep. Take care, Ami!!
This made me sleepy so fast. I think it’s because of the life sized hands and arms that triggered me. Also the noise was so crisp and the gentle movements. Knocked me out so fast 😴
This is one of my favorite videos, Ami. Never fails to help me fall asleep. I love the sounds the gloves make especially. Probably my favorite trigger sound.
I need a hand spa!! My hands are so raw from washing, purell, and so much glove use in the hospital. This was a nice surprise after a long day. Thank you Ami!! ❤️
"Have you been washing your hands a lot lately?" "Yes! For approximately 35 seconds every time, since that's how long it takes to sing the chorus of 'We Are the Champions'."
This is absolutely wonderful! Very creative. I love everything about this video. The sounds, the lighting, and the ambience. Thank you for taking the time to make such a relaxing video.
Omg I watched this with my screen brightness all the way down and was VERY concerned about the hand model for the first 30 seconds. I thought maybe their hands were bandaged?? 😂
I keep returning to this video as it seems to be the only one that really gets to me right now! Thank you so much for it! I especially love the last bit where you simply rub the lotion on!! Hoping you do more with these hands
Thank you so much for this. I have porphyria and my skin is agonisingly painful at the best of times but using alcohol hand wash as much as is necessary right now has ruined my skin. This was so incredibly soothing and exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much for such a content feeling of comfort in an otherwise terrifying time ❤️
When you took those masks off the hands, I got such strong tingles. Haven't experienced that in so long. That sound from the gloves has got to be my #1 trigger 😍
I just wanted to say that I've never seen a colored isopropyl alcohol before, i want one! 😁 hope everyone stays safe and healthy in this hard times. ❤ from 🇵🇭
love your videos, your voice is so soothing and your videos always give me tingles right before bed. The intro was really cool and started off instantly relaxed and felt comfortable and safe. Thank you so much! 💕
I seriously can't stop watching this. This video is the best! I dare say, its the best movie ever. And I don't just mean ASMR. I mean movie. It goes Goodfellas, this, and possibly lost boys. Either way, this is absolutely one of the greatest achievements in cinema
thank you for uploading so often during this stressful time ❤️ i have chronic asthma and have been on puffers and steroids for years, so I've been cut off entirely from the outside world for the past month. these videos help me relax and forget about everything happening around me 😅
Unadulterated ASMR. That's what I call this. I LOVE it! It took me a couple of times to get more than a few minutes into it without falling asleep! Lolol

Did he really agree? 🤔🤔
You were excellent as always Ami, the hand model on the other hand fell flat and gave quite a wooden performance.
Mate, how can your comment be 14 h old, if this video came out just 5 minutes ago?

Totally agree with this. Blues lighting is warm, Calm, dim and inviting. Most Asmrtists seem to use the lighting rig from a Pink Floyd gig.

Those subtle hand movements (yours, not the wooden ones) are the tingliest I've ever seen.
Wait, you're saying that as if the wooden hand moves 😨😨😨
Woaw here you are, toooo! The absolute queen of cinematic asmr enjoying this channel
This 🙏
Hands feel great, wood do again.
I hate u 😂

I thought it was oak-kay 😉
Hahahahaha :D
How this videos views are NOT in the millions is beyond me, 3years later and I still come back to it for the tingles 🥰

Anna Woods that would have been gold!
That was my thought as well.
That's how you know they're really moisturized.
They will only become real if they don't lie
Everyone is just talking about how this is making them sleepy but I'm just sitting in bed watching while eating a bag of doritos.
Doritos Cheese?
Kerys White what flavor
Are you even human? 😂 20 seconds in and I can already feel myself relaxing into sleep
Kerys White I like cereal with asmr
Original wheat thins for me right now
If anyone was wondering I am STILL watching this everyday. I’m not sure why I’m so entranced by it but I am. Thank you sooo much for this video!
Wow that's exactly how my hands look like when I forget the cocoa butter.
Red x stole it!
I used to get ASMR as a kid. Been watching whisper/ASMR vids for ten years now, trying to experience it again. This did it. Thank you.
Really like your models hands very cool idea.
I can’t stop thinking about how bad the straight isopropyl alcohol would hurt on chapped/cracked hands
Same, had me reconsider the meaning of the word gentle. The gentleness of the rest made up for that tho
Self isolating, so this couldn't have come at a better time for a dozen reasons. Really helped tonight. Big thank you Amy. Stay safe. J☘

I so love this one! I watch it over an over again 💕 the gloves an the slow movements tingles heaven
So am I the only one on edge while watching this, thinking the hands are gonna start moving at any second? lol
Don't worry, this isn't a video from Ephemeral Rift, so you're totally fine. ;)

But hands fingers moves in so many times
