What is the difference between ASMR and mindfulness?

Transcript

ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is described as a tingling sensation that typically starts at the scalp and spreads down the neck, often triggered by specific sounds or visuals, providing relaxation and comfort. On the other hand, mindfulness is characterized by intentional self-regulation of attention and nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment. While ASMR can lead to relaxation similar to mindfulness practices, it primarily focuses on sensory experiences rather than the broader aspects of awareness and emotional regulation central to mindfulness.
