Required song after saying 'from scratch': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc
Not the original source, but better? ;)
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe" Carl Sagan (as in the Cosmos remix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc)
If you liked this, you'll probably also like MelodySheep's Symphony of Science series.
⬐ iamjeffThis brought me to tears, literally... There is a beauty to the words that is hard to describe other than to say it gives "meaning" (for lack of a better word) to life on this rock.⬐ jimmaswellAnother good video is Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PN5JJDh78I&feature=youtu.be
Should've used one of these as background music :)
⬐ insider03These would have totally rocked!
I noticed a similar phenomenon, but I'd distinguish 3 different kinds:1. As a child (and still as an adult) I sometimes get this tingling sensation in my scalp when someone does something very mundane (e. g. when I watch the barber cutting my hair). I definitely have to be in the mood for that. So, this scalp sensation comes mostly when I see and observe something. Sometimes, it also comes when someone tells a story in a soft voice. My father could trigger that when I was a child.
2. Some music just gives me the chills. This tingling sensation is mostly "goosebumps down my neck and spine", less in my scalp. I found that "Brutal Dubstep Drops" never fail to cause it quite strongly and fast. E. g. this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQU9RFTR_84 (edit2: this never gets old and almost always works, how weird. If you listen to it, listen at least the first 1:30 minutes)
3. If someone touches my neck or back and uses fingernails to stroke me very softly. I get goosebumps and my body doesn't get used to it for 15-20 minutes if done right.
I guess 2+3 are different from ASMR, but I definitely experienced it. Quite enjoyable.
Edit: Also this video, as cheesy as it might be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc&list=PLFC4EE4355...
I think, for me, it has something to do with fascination, mix of repetitiveness and variation, and a relaxed state of the person I observe.
⬐ ryukafalz#2 is a separate sensation called frisson:
