Frogs have long been a symbol of renewal and spring for me. This year they seem to have come a bit early, but they're always welcome. I love to relax and listen to them singing their love songs to one another, and am blessed to have a good sized wetland on the farm where they're happy. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

This is the second episode where I use various techniques to reduce your anxiety with special emphasis on panic attacks. The holiday season (not to mention this crazy pandemic) can really increase our stress load, so I hope that this episode will help you if you're feeling like it's all just too much at the moment. The first episode was more of a role-play with personal attention, while this one is more typical of what you might experience with a therapist, and is more technique based than care-based.

As I'm finishing up a large order of smudge sticks from my Etsy shop, I walk you slowly through the process that I use to make them. I talk about how to select materials, make the finished product attractive and functional. Photos of the finished product are on my Instagram (@tessa_tingles_ASMR), and if you'd like to see what's currently in the Etsy shop, it's called HeartLightandWild.
Thanks for listening, and as always feel free to send me a message with any questions or comments!

For the first ten or so minutes I slowly roll and tip the rain stick from side to side and back and forth, occasionally tapping the wood. Next up is a variety of crystal and stone beads, as well as some strung pearls, that I move, slide, and twist, making gentle crackling, popping, clicking sounds. I use some rose quartz, malachite, lapis, mookaite, and a lovely sea green stone that I don't recall the name of. The different sizes make a variety of sounds, and some are combined together.

As always, thank you for listening!! -
*Volume should be pretty low for this one*
Working my way through rainy season projects, I start processing my dried mullein leaves. They're very crunchy and make a crackling sound, and I do some whispering rambles where I talk about mullein and what I'm using it for. The volume should really be low enough that the whispering is unintelligible.
I hope you enjoy, thanks for listening!

I thought I'd try doing a bit of sketching this time and focus on those scratching sounds of the pencil on paper. I drew a Weeping Willow tree, so most of the lines are fairly long, rather than a shorter more staccato cadence from smaller strokes. There's some sounds of paper moving as well, but it's largely just the sounds of pencil on paper.
Thanks so much for listening!!

In this episode, I'm back to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this time read more slowly and softly.
I'm only covering chapter 16, which is relatively long. This reading being to help you drift off to sleep more easily is read at a slower pace and more softly whispered than I usually do, but is still mostly intelligible.
I hope you enjoy, thanks for listening and have a lovely night!

This year I grew quite a few peppers, hoping to have enough to fill my freezer this winter, and while I didn't get as many as I would have liked, I did get a pretty solid wheelbarrow full of them. In this episode, I'm slicing, dicing and bagging some of my poblanos for the freezer.
Thanks so much for listening, I hope you enjoy!

Loving and compassionate ASMR whispered care during your panic attack or intense anxiety. We'll sit by the fire, I'll do a little bit of pampering, and walk you through some simple breathing exercises that will help you progressively relax. No pressure, no judgement, and trauma informed.
You're in a safe space to process your feelings as they come up and breathe them out and let them go. We all get anxiety and go through rough patches, get overwhelmed and need a soft place to land when it becomes too much.
There is some physical touch involved in this episode, but I will be doing one in the future for situations where you might not be ready for any physical contact (real or imagined) and more focused on post-traumatic anxiety.
If there's anything you'd like to request for a future anxiety management or other mental health concerns please let me know. I'm passionate about mental health as much as health in general, and am planning to do many versions of this. It's hard to remember what to do when you're in the midst of an anxiety episode, even when you know all the skills and strategies normally. I'm happy to help put something together based on your recommendations of what works for you!

In this episode, I'm slowly and softly removing the petals of my roses from their base and softly dropping them onto the table. They are then collected and dropped into a bowl before I take them to be spread out to dry. This time of year in the soggy Pacific Northwest the roses that are still blooming aren't usually able to open well, and do something called "balling" which means they sort of glue themselves shut. Not ideal for looking at, but they still make a great tea, which I love to have when cold and dreary weather sets in. I'll give these a few days to slowly dry out and then pop them into the oven for a few minutes on its lowest setting to crisp up before storage.
This is ideal for falling asleep to as almost a background noise, but with enough triggers to hopefully get you into the bliss state as well. There's light popping, plopping, swishing, plinging, and no talking.
Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy!

It's the perfect time to use up some of the apples from my trees and make them into something delicious but on the healthy side as desserts go. As an alternative to traditional apple pie, I'm making a crumble topping with almond flour, butter and date sugar for sweetener, plus a few extras from the spice cabinet.
Whispering to describe what I'm doing throughout but intermittently.
First I get to skinning and slicing up the apples, slow to moderate pace, then transfer to a mixing bowl where they get date sugar and spices mixed in. After transferring back to the pie pan, I stir together the ingredients for the topping and voila!
I hope you enjoy!

Starting where we left off last week, I'll be reading through to chapter 15.
All whispers, no other sounds, other than maybe the very occasional soft squeak of my chair etc.

After a grocery haul, I begin by preparing some of my favorite healthy foods for cooking and adding to this week's meals.
I usually try to eat mostly from my garden, but when I do go out for things that I can't produce myself I will usually pick up a few things that I either can't grow well, or just don't grow for various reasons.
Whispering throughout, but not continuous.
I try to keep the chopping and cutting sounds as soft as possible, but there are a few rather squeaky mushrooms!
No cooking sounds, only the prep. If you want to hear that also, or anything else in particular leave me a message and I'll be happy to hear from you!
Thanks for listening :)
*If you've been following along, you may notice my comment about the rain being out of date, so I wanted to mention that I actually made these recordings a few weeks ago but hadn't finished the episode until this week.

Today I'm working with a variety of plastics to bring you some calming ASMR sounds. There's a good bit of soft crinkling, some light tapping on a number of surfaces, some tracing of the materials with my fingertips, light clicking and in some cases the sound of rain hitting my roof in the background.
As I usually do, the sounds get softer and slower towards the end to help you settle deeper into relaxation without any jarring sounds.
There's no talking/whispering after the intro in this one.
Thanks for listening!

A whispered but, I think, mostly intelligible reading of the classic Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. This is about the first 20 or so pages, and I'll continue the book next week with a few more chapters. If you're unfamiliar with the book, there's not much plot or action by today's standards, which makes it a great book to go to sleep to in my opinion. I hope you enjoy!

The first real rain in months arrived and saturated the thirsty soil this week. This is the sound of the rain falling onto my garden from the porch of my tiny house, around sunset. All the plants loved this nourishing boost for the last bit of growth before the frost comes and the days get shorter.
Just rain, no talking or other sounds.

Today I have a variety of paper products that I hope give you the tingles like they do for me.
In this episode, I start with some paper cutting, and then move on to some tissue paper for lots of crinkling and crunching sounds, a cardboard box which I do some tracing and tapping on, some sheets of paper and a roll of paper towels.
Extra soft, no talking.

I have a variety of plant materials to play with today to create a variety of sound experiences. I mostly keep things slow and soft (a few crunches here and there in the beginning) for those of you who like to use these for getting to sleep like I do.
There are some dried stems that I run across a plate for very light tapping sounds, some crunchy leaves that I slowly roll around, some seed heads that make a nice rattling sound as well as a good rustle, a hollow stem, and some stalks of grain and grasses.
The last ten minutes are extra slow and quiet to help you drift right off.

Making Elderberry syrup for someone who's a bit under the weather is always appreciated. It's yummy and it boosts the immune system. I've got some blue elderberries that I'll cook up for you and take care of you while you're sick. Sounds include whispering, plucking the berries from the stems into a resonant bowl which I also do some tapping and tracing on periodically. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tessa-tingles/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tessa-tingles/support

The first 5 or so minutes is the chopping, so if that's not what you've come for, skip on ahead!
No talking, just prep and eat.
