In this powerful book YouTube ASMRtist Emma WhispersRed thoughtfully reveals the origins of ASMR, her personal and eventful journey to discovery, how ASMR relates to other healing modalities and how you can utilise ASMR techniques. Unwind Your Mind reveals simple ways you can incorporate ASMR into your daily life to relax, be present and experience your surroundings in a more positive and peaceful way. The future of ASMR begins here.

Emma's insights will encourage and guide others to discover the potential benefits and power of ASMR' Dr Giulia Poerio, Professor of Psychology at the University of Sheffield
