My younger brother passed on in 2018 when he was 16. You were his favorite ASMR channel. He just adored your videos and creativity. Tonight is the first time I’ve been able to watch one of your vids since his passing. Cool to know you are still helping relax people

This really is the pinnacle of ASMR content... get this man an award already

i was crying for the past hour so this getting uploaded at this moment really helped me calm down, this guy helped me more than meds and therapists

I suffer from PTSD and your videos have always kept my head above water when it hits. Thank you so much for the years of calming. I’m truly so grateful.

Just stupid stress at the workplace brings me here. Shouldn’t even be stress, but it’s in my nature to make it stressful. Get too caught up in the little crap I shouldn’t worry about. Those are my trials I need to conquer. We’re all a work in progress! Always need to hear those wise words from time to time.

Last year I was going through a really rough patch, and I remember watching your videos to calm myself down and sleep, you might not know me, but to me, you are no less than a saviour. Thank you ER, from the bottom of my heart 🤍

I have to say the timing is impeccable, I’ve been going through alot in the last month and I have to say confidently, this is the worst period of my life so far. This video is just what I needed, thank you ephemeral rift, you always know best :) ❤️

ER just seems like such a real person. I would have coffee with him and be able to talk about anything and I feel like he would just give some of the best advice. He's like a wise uncle that you can go to him with any issue and he can help. I would trust this man with my life fr

Rift is just the perfect man for asmr. He has so many ideas and knows how to comfort nicely. Not to mention his voice is so soothing

The 2017 one has been a lifesaver more times than I can count, these are so appreciated, thank you ❤

My anxiety has been going crazy lately for whatever reason (ruminating about the past/ making up ‘what if’ situations in my head that end up freaking me out) and this video was very much needed . Seriously, thank you so much

It's nice to see one of these videos again. Your videos where you do asmr and talk about anxiety and depression always have had an effect on me. Thank you

It’s been 5 years. I have been listening to that video every single night for the past 5 years. I thank you for speaking the way you do making me feel comfortable and safe. I finally feel like i can say i’m doing okay. There’s no words to describe my thankfulness to you for helping me the way you truly have done. And thank you for giving me a new view on life in the way of taking things as they come and don’t worry as much as i should, and to not think as deeply as i used to do. I only wish i could tip you or something to give back to you all that you gave me. Anyways, thank you, internetdad❤️

Over 2 years watching your channel. I’m transitioning into an adult. You’ve lived longer than me. I’m worried about letting go of the past. I’m deleting twitter and Instagram accounts for what ever reason just because I am filled with unnecessary hate towards some things. My mom always sends me inspirational videos on Instagram everyday, which is the only good part about the app so far. It’s just that the things on those accounts are some people I’ve met in the past. I will keep KZfaq so I can listen to you. School is difficult, i now have trust issues. Everything I do on this rock sphere, nobody will know my name in future generations. When I’m dead and forgotten, what will be the point of it all? Will getting good grades so I can get a good job, only for money which helps my future family satisfy me? I go to a Catholic School. I just, am lost. It’s late I need sleep. That’s why I’m here thank you Ephemeral Rift.

How come this man always knows exactly what I need? Timing can't be more perfect 🥺

You help me through times when my meditation doesn't work, and nights when I can't sleep on my own. Thank you, Uncle E, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Lord rift, my little bean brain has been filled with more stress than there is protein in my little round body, this video has helped me go through the night, feeling safe in my own can, keep up the good work! Bean out, and remember, beans are friends, not food 👍

I felt a panic attack slowly building up and my thoughts were festering. I pulled up this video, forced myself to watch it, and it helped me pull through. Thank you Rift for all that you are and how much you help others.

Oh my goodness. Thank you for this, seriously. My anxiety is high since there's a hurricane headed towards my state right now. Not only that but I lost a close family member 2 months ago. Stress has been through the roof and I can't get through a night without waking up. You're a legend.

I have anxiety and depression. I'm working at it every day💗 Thank you for this video💗

Woke up at 3am out of nowhere, started to feel anxious and was actually about to put the video similar to this from years ago on when I saw this. Thanks again for helping with my anxious, worried and ruminating mind friend

I've been going through the hardest point of my life and my future is looking like more rough roads, but ER's videos give me just a little respite from it all. I hope the rest of you are doing well, and for those like me that aren't, I wish for you to know that this too shall pass and you'll work something out. Take care of yourself ❤️

I broke up with my partner last month and have struggled with overthinking at night because of this. The second you started tapping at that cone though, my mind quieted. Mr. Rift, thank you so much for helping me get some sleep for countless nights. I appreciate this channel so much.

The notification of this video just took me out of an anxiety spiral I was going down rapidly and watching it has completely calmed me down again to the point I think I will be able to sleep without any medication. Impeccable timing and fantastic work, I cannot thank you enough :)

Not too long ago I have had an almost traumatizing feeling. Not that there was a direct cause or anything, but my anxiety levels were through the roof. Thank you Uncle E for the perfect timing of this video. I hope you are doing splentastic.

Been struggling with stress and anxiety from family matters, this helped so much!

ER…for years you have helped me sleep, chill, meditate…but I’ve never had so much help as when you said “smooth sailing does not a sailor make” I really needed that. I appreciate you so much.

Thanks for this. My OCD has been running the show lately, and I need a mindful minute (or hour) and really appreciate you creating a space and time to just exist and try to relax and break this routine Im stuck in

Thank you for this, just to see you taking your time to care about other’s problems is priceless, and if anyone reading this feels down for whatever reason, be sure to know everything will get better, you deserve the best, so don’t give up!

Hey Uncle E, I've been dealing with generalized anxiety disorder and health anxiety for almost a year now and I find myself using this video quite a bit to help me sleep. You've been a big help to many of us, and you are a master class at calming us down and keeping us grounded. Thank you for your years of support, and I wish you and your family much love ❤️

I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, and behaviour problems (since high school back in 2014 to 2015), that's why I got rid of my serious problems because of your video when I listened and tuned down my behaviour.

This video is so therapeutic. Your messages really resonate with me. Thanks for being so vulnerable about your own anxieties. Appreciate everything you do ✌️🫶

This videos predecessor is my favorite video of yours, and has helped me relax more times that I can tell you. Was beyond excited to see the title, and the familiar background.

Paul you're an expert, at relaxation, and being a good person. Your family is blessed to have you, and so are we!

Hello Ephemeral Rift, I've been seing you on and off for more than 6 years now and I realized that I've never left any message here, I just wanted to say thank you for this, yesterday was a miserable day having my anxiety levels over the roof for most of it, and listening to this as I got home helped so much I cannot thank you enough. It has been a rough time at work and the ASMR content you do is really priceless even if sometimes a bit weird, but nonetheless, thank you so very much again.

I have had the worst anxiety of my life the past few weeks and since this has been uploaded I have watched it like 4 times thank you

Congratulations on not drinking! Last September I also had to give up alcohol for good! I really enjoyed this video. Your words of wisdom really hit home tonight! I really needed this! Big love to you!! ♥️

So many times I have come to ephemeral riff at an ungodly hour and he has done what he does best: luring me into a state of bliss. Thank you ER you really are a national treasure.

Had a minor panic attack last night and couldn’t find any asmr content to calm me enough to sleep. Until I found this. ❤❤❤ Thank you

This really helps. I often get anxiety and panic attacks already due to my depression etc. This really calms me down and brings me back to reality.

I've been really tense and stressed out for the past few weeks for... no good reason, really... so I keep coming back to these videos to help me relax, even if it's just in the background. Thanks a lot for posting these, they may not be a miracle cure for anxiety but they do help me relax...

ASMR aside, the entire being of this man gives off a kind of safe feeling, like he has some sort of a calming aura that can be felt through a screen

I'm just too worried about the future and everything, that thing made me depressed and having some disturbing intrusive thoughts. I want to write it down but feel that I can't. This video helped, thanks a lot. Ur channel is a blessing from God 😭😭😭 Wish you all here happiness and joy in life ♥️♥️ I love u all

I thought "ASMR for anxious worrying and ruminating minds" was the best video to help me calm down, but I think ER is doing even better. thank you for helping me.

I'm 4 days into paranoid mania and this helped calm me down so much. Thank you

Yesterday I was like super anxious and couldn't sleep, this video helped me a lot, thank you very much.

I need nothing more right now. Thank you so much for keeping it fun and light while giving us actual freedom from stress, you may never know how much you’ve helped us through some of the hardest things we’ve ever had to go through.

Just the pep talk and comfort I need for my worried and troubled mind. I watch your videos when I need to steal my nervousness. Thank you for the many years of calming the storms, welcoming a cool soothing breeze and refreshing resolve. A little wind in my sails and clear skies will help me helm my own ship safely to the next harbor.

Thank you Sir. I needed this all of a sudden my life turned upside down because of all the issues I been crying my eyes out even though I am living my life without bothering anyone I've been dragged into an issue that has nothing do with me with the people I have never met in my life.

i remember finding your channel when i was 15, i’m 20 now and you have pulled me out of a few overwhelming scary anxiety attacks that cause my heart to quite literally beat rapidly out of my chest. mad respect for what you do, you’ve created such a safe space filled with comfort. sending a big virtual hug🫶

always immensely appreciate these anxiety/stress asmr videos, i rewatch them sometimes and having a new one to mix it up is just what i needed

Don’t even have anxiety right now but these video series are very relaxing. SLEEP TIME!

i love when Paul goes full circle with the videos and then goes back to like a regular/usual asmr video like this. this is why I appreciate Paul so much since he's creativity is like on another level but just as simple as a video for anxiety or to help sleep is still the best!(all I'm missing is more ear to ear whispering videos with a mic that you can hear kinda hear white noise.)

As a native of the Philadelphia suburbs as well, I hope to meet this man someday and express my gratitude.

Rift reads minds I tell ya 😮. I have been needing these anxiety ASMR videos right now more than anything, was watching the older one, needing more to help get through this time in my life, and then BAM! Masterful timing 🤌 thank you again!

I still watch that video he tagged in the description when I'm feeling overwhelmed. It helps tremendously when anxiety hits a peak. Now that there is a part 2 (more or less 😅) I don't think I'll ever be stressed again

the original video was so ahead of its time and soothing 🥺 thank u for revisiting 💞

I really can’t tell you how many time this video has helped me since it was released. I deal with cripplingly bad anxiety and had used your previous anxiety centered video as a way to deal with it, and the same had been true for this video. I’m Grateful for the fact you have given me the opportunity to use this video as a median for my coping and recovery from anxiety in my life, so thank you.

This is actually great timing. I've been really stressing about an upcoming presentation and thought I should watch asmr to calm down, and voila! Thanks ER

Thank you for this video. It really helped my feel like I could get away my my anxiety for a little while. I have really bad anxiety attacks from time to time, and my girlfriend get really concerned about me when they happen. I love her, and I want to do the best I can to make sure that she knows I'm safe but sometimes I can't do anything at all. I watched this video and thought, "oh wow, I could get away from my anxiety for a little bit" and when I told her she said "I am so happy that you found something to help your anxiety!" and then she gave me a kiss.

I swear this guy is an other lvl of asmr! I LOVE this videos so much! THANK YOU A LOT! ❤️ And I wish you a great time and a good time with good people ✨

This just helped pull me out of a really uncomfortable panic attack. I love how honest and real these talks on anxiety are

i love that i can crank the volume and the quality stays the same on your videos. and the audio isn’t overwhelming like a lot of asmr is. so soothing

I really needed this. I am taking my licensing exam for the second time next Thursday and my anxiety has been so bad! Definitely needed something to recenter myself and trust myself. Thank you 😭😭

I started watching years ago just to help with my tinnitus when I was trying to sleep and I couldn’t have imagined how much your content would help me, thank you

I still keep coming back to this video, it's absolutely perfect. Thank you, ER!

Just lost my job and wanted to say thank you for making this video. Haven’t been having a good day and feeling a lot of anxiety and stress over it. But this video sure helped me to feel better and get some sleep. You were the beginning of my ASMR journey a few years back. Thank you for what you do brother. #tonewbeginnings #cheers

I’m a huge huge over thinker and get worried/anxious very easily, especially recently. This video is just what I need❤

I’ve recently stopped 🍃 and had some very intense anxiety and sleepless nights. This helps me soooooo much and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making content like this. You’re a comforting figure in my life right now when I need one the most.

I love the original video for this and have watched it for years. I’m glad there’s a sequel!

This is going to sound odd, especially since I'm commenting this late after you'd posted this, but watching through this felt like a conversation with my father. I don't see him often at all anymore, and listening to you talk me through my problems felt like I was sitting down with him as a kid again and talking away my worries. You helped me a lot, thank you.

The dropper is the best trigger I've ever heard, and I've been watching ASMR for years.

The old video in this setting is one I go to often when I feel overwhelmed. I will say I pretty much have it memorized by now so this new video is very much appreciated!

Im having insomnia and anxiety really awful right now. Thid is already helping me two minutes in. You have a gift . Thank ❤you

Forgot to take my anxiety medication for 2 days in a row 1 day before I know I have to go into an area where I will surrounded by people I don’t know for hours. I messed up big time but these videos help me so much. My stomach pain, chest pain, and headaches from anxiety get so overwhelming but ASMR for some reason can cure all of them. I’m so stressed I can’t even sleep. But luckily ASMR also helps with that lol!

Thanks, Ephem. I woke up really anxious about something going on in my life, decided to write in my journal and listen to your video. I definitely feel calmer.

I am so grateful that you made this. I rewatch the first version of this quite often and actually was going to watch it last night, but instead I fell asleep to another one of your videos. Now I'm laying here with insomnia, woke up and can't get back to sleep, so it's really nice to have your company so my mind doesn't start winding up and overthinking 💖💖

All of these years.. thank you rift, you’ve become a guiding force in my life when Id find myself lost the most. You and your wonderfully creative mind. ❤

I'm a collage student so yeah worry, depression is a regular thing in my life. But I'm always thinkin like someday it's gonna go away permanently . But uncle E really made me realize that its never gonna actually go away. So rather than bit@hing about it I need to be thankful about what I have and always try to improve cause theres always someone who's going through worse. So thank you sir and I wish you nothing but happiness.

I was literally laying here, on my bed, balling my teenage eyes out till they fell out of my sockets. Then i saw this and passed out after watching it. Thank you.

Thank you for this. My constant stress is getting to me and causing extreme fatigue. I have to get it under control.

Этот канал был для меня величайшим открытием два года назад. Не перестаю благодарить дядя Е.

Honestly.. I don't get tingles much anymore. It's like chasing that adrenaline high.. but ER never fails to relax and interest me. That is invaluable and it is a crime this man only has a million subbies.

I always come back to this video. Thank you for the countless nights of good rest. I’ve been watching your channel for years now and it’s one of the only ways that I could get to sleep during the worst times of my life. You truly are like an uncle to us; thank you ER.

Oh my gosh!! The original video is what led me to your channel for the first time. I can't believe it's been 5 years of amazing ER content since then!

The 2017 video is one of my favorites of yours; helped me through times I don’t wanna remember. Thank you for this pleasant surprise!

Been watching you for almost 3 years I still suffer from panics and trouble sleeping but watching your vids has honestly helped me so much and has been almost like my safe space when I sleep

Wow, I've been scrolling through the comment section and I really am in tears reading some of these comments and how you've saved multiple people. You are honestly amazing, I've been struggling academically and with lack of concentration but I think you've made it a little better.🤣 What you're doing is truly amazing and fenominal, keep doing this and keep up the good work!💪😊

I feel like the timing of this was perfect for everyone here. The day he dropped this was the worst of my life so far. Thanks papa rift for knowin just what we need

I just wanna say thank you Rift, this was my first time watching. I gave myself a really bad anxiety and panic and this really helps me a lot. Thank you, I had tears because I feel such a difference, I’ll still have anxiety here and there but overall this helps me. I hope this works for you guys it won’t cure it but it will help ease and relieve those symptoms. It’ll all be okay you guys. Love you all, you’re not alone ❤️

This man made me want to be anxious so i would be allowed to watch the video

I've been watching this man since 2012 and I'm 19 now I'm stressed about life and I'm scared to enter the adult hood for the rest of my life and so many times I've gone through anxiety and the second I tap a video on this channel within 10 seconds I'm already calmed and my eye lids get heavy really fast and instead of drinking I litsen to this.❤️ Tysm ER for helping me with lively issues :) I will forever remember - Your Dearest Viewer🖤🤍

Contacts on your sobriety, ER!! I’m three months sober myself and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. I tried and failed to quit for many years but I finally got the hang of being without it. Congrats and keep up the amazing work!

I have watched the “original” so many times now I am so exited that u remade this

Whatever upcoming activity may bring you anxiety and stress, know that you CAN do it and get through it.

Thank you for calming me down, I thought I was having a heart attack… like really was about to go to hospital

when i see the cone of calm, i know it’s going to be a great video. great work as always 🫡🥲

I fell asleep to this the other night and just wanted to say, I hadn’t watched a video of yours in at least a few months (through no fault of your own - I’m blaming KZfaq since I just haven’t been seeing you pop up in my subscriptions, but also just life, y’know) and this felt like such a nice, warm ‘welcome back, friend’. You’re looking great, sounding great, hope you’re well and thank you for doing what you do

I felt an anxiety attack coming and I turned this on and it helped me so much, thank you

I’ve been pretty sick and in and out of the hospital for what seems like a problem that doesn’t exist physically and I don’t have any medication or anything for anxiety so this video is the only thing that can get me to sleep at night. Rift has been an absolute miracle thank you so much
