ASMR University 
Starts in feeling a tingling current in the lower back of head which builds in intensity and moves from there to my shoulders and as long as trigger remains the felling becomes more intense with each current. I eventually become euphoric to the point of becomes drowsy from the sensation. Trancelike

When I experience ASMR I feel tingles in my head that goes to my face, than goes to my body until it settles in my stomach.
They leave a nice sensation, I fell happy, relaxed and pleasured. Almost like a cat purring sometimes.
The sensations are quite strong, I got somehow submerged in it.
It usually let’s few minutes. But as longer it lasts, I start to fell headaches (not sure why).
Yesterday was my strongest experience. I was talking with someone and her words activeted the ASMR response. It lasted the whole day, I am still feeling in just remember it. I had to go to sleep in hope that the headaches would go away. It did, but right after I started thinking about the conversation it all came back. And today I still fell it, the headache is not so strong thought.

For me it starts as a tickle sensation behind my eyes, at the bridge my nose, it usually spreads to the top of my head and then down my spine. It is very much an internal sensation, not a skin sensation. Though I will shiver sometimes.
It is also accompanied by a sense of hypnotic relaxation.

I get ASMR very strongly down my whole body. It doesn’t necessarily start in my scalp area though it can. Sometimes it runs from my hip joints down my legs. Or sometimes I feel it down my torso, nipple, and arms. I’d say when it is at its most intense the peak of the sensation is on my head, as if someone was tickling my scalp. It feels like a euphoric tingly and tickly sensation on my skin that leaves me in a semi trance because it feels so good.
