While much noise is routinely generated on social media platforms with their tools designed for instant gratification, some new-age vloggers have chosen to slow things down with meditative content using aesthetically pleasing visuals. These are sometimes paired with sounds of chopping, cutting or whispering that send a tingling sensation down the head and spine known as an autonomous sensory meridian response. The purpose of these is to help the viewer to relax while they learn something new. Here is a list of silent vlogs to help you recharge.
