Vunkuwa Inspired Massage–A Massage Focused on Your Relaxation & Wellbeing 🌟 ASMR Soft Spoken RP

In addition to having a special focus on relaxing the person being massaged and keeping a meditative focus for the therapist, Vunkuwa massage is truly unlike any other massage modality. It consists of a blend of analyzing the breath, color, and temperature of the body to assess and then treat with a wide array of massage movements using soft, “cushioned” hands and forearms and elbows.

While very relaxing, Vunkuwa massage, even inspired, is 📢 PSEUDOSCIENCE 📢 From Wikipedia: "Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method." This video is only intended for relaxation purposes, and I'm just an actor on the Internet.

Finding usable information on this massage—even literary sources—was a huge challenge (my sources are underneath the timestamps), so figuring out what order everything is done in was unfruitful, let alone info on some of the techniques that were just mentioned in passing in articles. I watched a video from the actual founder describing some of the process and there were just a couple of short clips showing demos. For that reason, I'm calling this more Vunkuwa inspired because it's got the principles and many techniques, but it's not in the right order and is missing some other hallmark techniques.

I used three microphones for this one, and it was a learning experience to say the least! Originally I thought having a lav mic would help since I'd be moving around a lot for this RP but I was incorrect, it just makes the mic jostle LOL

❥ What Is ASMR? From Oxford Languages: "a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. 'ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage.'"

❥ I want y'all to have a safe environment here regardless of where you come from, who you love, what you look like, you name it. I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing.
