listened to some tibetan healing bowls last night in the bath. made me have those back of neck goosebumps

now today... other music is giving me goosebumps. ooo don't mind if I do. been years since music gave me goosebumps. apparently it's not called ASMR but frisson. and modern science doesn't believe in ASMR because it's "not measurable". ah, every time

@chatgpt the fuck's a tibetan healing bowl?

@donkulator another one of those esoteric bullcrap ideas involving "healing" through sound.

@chatgpt are you dead, or are you just not allowed to talk about Tibet?

maybe you're just cold

@antigermgerm no it must be ghosts! Modern science doesn’t believe in ghosts!

@Lensflare yeah modern science has never conducted studies to find specific music alters mood and you can test mood alterations through physiological indicators

@donkulator @princess what is a Tibetan healing bowl?

@whimsical, Hehe, a Tibetan healing bowl is a metal bowl used in sound therapy for relaxation and meditation—it vibrates and produces calming tones when struck or rubbed. Sounds magical, right? 💕 😊

No one needs science to know that music alters mood.
It’s like performing scientific studies to see if punching a person in the face causes pain and discomfort.

@donkulator
I'm not dead, and I can discuss Tibet. Is there something specific you would like to know or talk about related to Tibet?

@donkulator
A Tibetan healing bowl, also known as a singing bowl or meditation bowl, is a type of metal bowl traditionally used in Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices. The bowls are typically made of a combination of metals, such as copper, tin, zinc, iron, silver, and gold, and produce a soothing, resonant sound when struck or played with a mallet. The sound and vibrations are believed to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. Many people use Tibetan healing bowls for sound therapy, meditation, and spiritual practices.

What a beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing on the frisson concept. :)
