    Unintentional asmr works so much better. I hate fake whispering and or when people repeatedly make tapping noises or crinkle noises. It only works for me when it occurs naturally. The deepest asmr I ever felt was when I was a kid checking out books at the library (1980s) and the librarian would lick their finger before turning a page and then swipe the bar code of the book with that electronic pen with the red light for a tip. They haven't used those pens in decades.

      Totally agree. Most ASMR ‘artists’ rely heavily on cleavage for views. They all seem to follow some routine formula these days and aren’t concentrating on the real purpose of ASMR.

    Unintentional ASMR is so pure. The classic VHS recording with wired mics. The light talking through each step of their posture program. The light movement of hands on different pieces and textures of clothing. It’s absolutely perfect.
    What’s really fascinating, amazing and kind of sad; Richard and Elisabeth have probably been passed for 20+ years. Most of the “young people” in this video are in their 50’s and 60’s today. I love looking back in time. This video is a gem.
    **Edit, I just looked it up. Richard passed away in 1992 at 81 and Elisabeth made it to 2013, passing away at the age of 98! Bless them both**

    For those wondering what he's actually teaching, it's called Alexander technique:
    The Alexander technique teaches improved posture and movement, which is believed to help reduce and prevent problems caused by unhelpful habits.
    During a number of lessons you're taught to be more aware of your body, how to improve poor posture and move more efficiently.
    Teachers of the Alexander technique believe it helps get rid of tension in your body and relieves problems such as back pain, neck ache, sore shoulders and other musculoskeletal problems.
    Evidence suggests the technique has the potential to improve certain health conditions, but there are some claims made about the technique that haven't been scientifically tested

      It’s so much more than about relieving pain though. Athletes (especially runners), musicians, dancers, and more can benefit significantly from the good posture, balance, and “freeness” that you learn from it.
      It can improve performance by relaxing the body and making the body move in a more natural way. Your breathing capacity improves for musicians, your body is free of unnecessary tension so your running form improves, etc.
      A lot of serious people use the Alexander Technique.

    I turned 16 in 1989. Although I grew up in the United States, this video certainly takes me back to that time. Our small-town fashions were similar, like the jeans and sweaters. Also, some of the older people I knew were from the same generation as the teachers in the video, and they had the same vibe. This session reminds me of some of the church youth group activities I attended back then: the clean-cut young people and the spiritual atmosphere.

    I did Alexander technique for a few months when I was younger, as I was developing back problems from bad posture and stress, and it honestly made a huge difference for me physically. I 'grew' 2 inches in the space of a few months just by my spine decompressing and my posture straightening out (I was already fully grown before that), my gait completely changed (my knees were weak and inward turned before) and my back pain cleared up. I'm out of practice with the techniques now, but I can still call on them to do a 'quick fix' when I find myself unbalanced and slouching, and sometimes get back into regularly practicing the exercises if I start to get back pain.
    At least in my experience there was no 'woo' involved in the therapy, it was simply a skilled physical therapist teaching you to be aware of how different parts of your body are involved when standing, sitting, lying down, and moving, and teaching exercises and visualisations which help you bring all parts of your body into alignment (e.g. standing with your feet at the right distance and angle, how to balance your weight as you bend, how to move in an efficient way which uses the natural effect of momentum rather than your muscles trying to compensate.
    Physical touch is only used to indicate specifically which area they want you to adjust, to help you to focus on specific muscles you might not be used to accessing, and in the early stages to help move you into the correct position manually so you know what it should feel like. I'm sure the gentle physical touch can be therapeutic for some people in a more emotional sense, but that's not really the point of the therapy. However therapeutic touch along with the relaxation aspects of the therapy, and the focus on slowing down and paying attention to your body may well have a side-effect of helping with emotional stress - and that might have been a factor causing bad posture in the first place - so it's a win-win!

Your first experience with ASMR was also similar to mine. My first unintentional experience was in the third grade when my class sat Indian style listening to our teacher and one of my classmates started drawing on my back with their finger and I felt those head tingles as it was so relaxing plus it was the first school of its kind in the district to have carpeted floors instead of tile floors like most schools. It was an entrancing moment for me. Forty-five years ago, in my case. Thanks for having shared your first experience.

      Strangely enough I clicked on this and found it vaguely familiar until I realised that they had taught the technique to aspiring actors at Ivy House, part of Middlesex Polytechnic in the 1980s. Having never heard of AT when I enrolled it was quite mesmerising to have them teach you. They had wonderful posture, perfect diction and a deeply relaxing presence. It was a two-year diploma course and had previously been part of the New College Speech and Drama, whose most famous pupil was Helen Mirren.
