Recently I've been really enjoying sounds of hair being pinned back, it's one of my favorite parts in hair videos and I wanted to make it longer for you.

Thank you Maria for always being there when I need you most! You’re the best! I pray you and your family are doing well with all that is going on in the world. You’ve been there for so many of us during times of sadness, heartbreak, and anxiousness, I pray you too find comfort during this time. ❤️🥺✨
Just wanted to say thank you for another fab video, and just wanted to send my best wishes. I'm sure it's been an incredibly distressing time, watching the events of the past week unfold, and I can only hope people are being kind (as sadly, thick people are everywhere). Much love x
So much warmth in these comments, makes me remember there's still good in this world. If you're reading this, stranger, I wish you a peaceful night and sweet dreams wherever you are, especially if times are tough right now
Amen to that….!!!! As with any worthless, dictator, POS that somehow found their way into political leadership, we all need to keep in mind that that. trash doesn’t represent the people…..and never really did (at least in communistic countries). Although, the irony to that statement is that in America, there are tens of millions of people that willingly voted for the POTUS that allowed, if not blatantly encouraged Putin to to behave this way. And, the rest of the world’s dictators are encouraged by how weak America’s POTUS is, so look for things to get much worse, and by more countries. But, I digress….I hope you and any family still living on that part of the world are healthy, and safe.
Started watching Maria in 2011 shortly after my mom passed when I was 16... she was such a big part of my healing journey. Today, more than 10 years later, I picked out my wedding dress 💕
Congratulations! That must've been really hard without your mom there, I know when I was younger (10 or 11) I always imagined what finding my dress with my mom would be like. You are so brave and strong and im truely sorry for your loss, and I know your mom will be smiling down at you on your special day
This is a reply that Maria left to someone a couple weeks ago for people wondering: My silence does not come from the evil, dear Aga. I too am devastated by the events, please believe it, I am not a heartless animal as mistaken by many. I do not wish to make a public statement as I noted before. This channel is not made for these topics, I spread peace and comfort here, especially in the time of terror. I did the mistake a few times of speaking politics and regretted it deeply, time to learn from my mistakes. I just hope people remember that I have not started this war and I am not the one who has any power to finish it. Even with 4% of my viewers being from Russia (yes, only 4%), all the news are available with the click of a button, all of the information. If I knew that I could actually help with any posts, besides of repeating what is shown by trusted news sources I would've done them, I hope you can believe me. When I said I wanted to have dinner with Putin (11 years ago) I also liked my ex husband and Kanye West and none of those people are my favorite anymore, not even a little bit. Am I in support of war? I believe any intelligent and sane person understands the answer to that. No. I know this is not what you wanted to hear and it comes from the bottom of my heart - I hope you find peace of mind for yourself and let me find mine. I do not delete comments btw, there is a filter for "bad" words and for inappropriate links to protect my viewers and myself, an option that You tube allows us to choose here, so you don't see 90% of crazy stuff that I get to see in the spam folder. I privated a lot of my videos and my insta because people have gone absolutely mad and the harassment is on a new level for me and I cannot trust any of my information to be out there anymore, you are welcome to assume all the things that could be happening behind the screen ;) . So dear, Aga, what can we do to help the people of Ukraine? I'm doing my part, I just don't have to share it with you to get likes and approval. I have people that I care about in both countries and my heart is hurting for both sides.
Someone was mean to our sweet Maria??!! How awful! Ty for posting this! I hope she know that we love and miss her and don't feel the same as those horrible people!!
Thank you so much for sharing this Holli. I think I'm not alone in worrying if Maria has been ok. Many of us long-time followers of her channel remember when she said that she admired Putin and the good things that he had done for Russia. We were rightfully concerned that she still might feel that way, and that has weighed heavily on our hearts. To hear that she doesn't feel that way anymore eases my heart, and I'm sure many others as well. Peace ❤
wow, people, get educated because there's no total information in the news that's why they are news. these ASMR videos are cool but you really have to know much more to understand war and the battle between good and evil. Make some real effort. Uneducated people cannot discuss everything. Truth is hidden. Start searching. You'll have to do more than click on news and of course, do something beautiful and positive like Maria.
It's so strange being so worried about someone who doesn't even know you exist. I've been watching your videos for 3 years now, and as stange as it is, I consider you a friend. You've literally gotten me through some of the toughest times. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through right now, but I just wanted to tell you that you matter. You're loved. And you have people out there thinking about you and sending you all the love that you have so freely given these past years. ♥️
Im the same as you. I don't think Maria has ever gone 3 or 4 weeks without posting. I definitely do not expect an ASMR video but i wish she could give us a quick update and let us know she's ok..
@@epinephrine9429 Her family is russian. She’s gotten an abhorrent amount of misplaced hatred for not speaking publicly about what’s going on. It isn’t safe for her to do so because she’s a public figure and has family living in russia
@Briana Ohh, ok. How awful for her! I hope she and her family are all ok. It’s so mind-boggling to me how people want the ASMR community to use their peace, serenity and sleep-inducing platform to speak publicly about political and hot button issues when that is the antithesis of what ASMRtists are trying to accomplish for their followers. She is amazing and a true artist of her craft and I hope she will return back to her loyal fans soon. ❤️
I once heard that people feel sleepy around someone when their inner child feels safe. Maria, you have not only given us videos that help us relax, but also an undeniably loving presence that makes space for our inner children to be comforted and cared for. Through TH-cam and the ASMR community, your example of love and gentleness will carry into future generations, I know it. Thank you for everything
It all makes sense now 😮 I didn’t get much affection, my mom was a good one, but she worked a lot and was always tired. So it was just quick hugs goodbye in the mornings. So yes, I agree.
Thx a lot I wholeheartedly wish you the same to you and your family 🥰😇 May God bless you and may he bring to your life joy and happiness at all times ❤️
Maria, i thought about you often these days. please do whatever makes you happy at your own pace, we are here to support you! i hope your family and loved ones are doing okay during this terrible time. praying that it'll end soon
why wouldn't her family be ok? they live in Russia and there are no fights going on there. it is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, people are dying there, including children, houses are bombed, people have to leave everything and run away. or fight. already over 400,000 people have been forced to leave their country. there are no fights in russia, so really ..... but it is in Ukraine that there are people to worry about. sorry for my English Maria, i love you and your asmr, but but it weakens me when I see people don't know what's going on, so
@@natalia6527 Of course the biggest tragedy and trauma is for the people directly affected in Ukraine, but no one’s said they’re NOT thinking of them. I feel for the innocent people in Russia too, who will surely be affected by this in some way or another, just because of the choices from people in power. Of course it’s not the same as what the people in Ukraine are and will be going through, but that doesn’t mean it’s nothing? It’s a terrible time for many people around the world, and I don’t understand why people couldn’t or shouldn’t send love/thoughts/prayers etc to many places and people around the world. Surely love and compassion are not the bad guys here.
Maria, do not let anyone equate any part of you with anyone else. You are a blessing - what matters most is that you and your family are ok. Time to give back to you - thank you for all you do, working so hard to help others! Practically every single night you have helped me relax - there's no one else who matches your passion for your work, your compassion for others, and your beautiful heart. It hurts me to know people might say anything derogatory about you. You are the light in millions of people's lives. Do not get pulled into others words about you. We know you, and you are beautiful! I hope your family is ok. Lots of love and light right back at you with so many thanks for the work you do for us and the special spirit you have. No one can take that soul from you - keep your inner beauty! - We believe in YOU and love you!
I hesitated to comment because I'm not a regular viewer, though I'm a subscriber for a very long time. I just see so much sadness in your eyes and I just wanted to say that you have a large community here that genuinely cares about you. I know this is a very difficult time for you and your family. Please know that all will be well and everyone here is thinking of you and your family. You gave us so much comfort in our time of need when we are going through personal hardships. Please don't hesitate to allow us to give back in whatever way we can. You are loved and you are love. Thank you for continuing to create the best comforting content. You have saved so many lives including mine. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
On another video, someone commented that your voice sounds like a crackling fire, and I can’t unhear it. Truly the ASMR voice of a generation. The community could not and would not be the same without Maria
Sending love Maria, to you and your mom and family. Such a terrible time in the world. But the light will return. Thank you so much for brightening our lives even when you are feeling low.♥️
I don’t know if you’ve ever had, but this lighting makes your hair looks slightly like a strawberry blonde and think you would look AMAZING -as a strawberry blonde or light red head!
I’ve been thinking about you a lot Maria and hope you and your family are all ok? Thank you for everything you do on this Channel, I’ve watched your ASMR videos since 2016. You have helped us all so much, especially over the last 2 years. We are all here for you, sending you love, strength and peace ❤️
Maria, I am married to a Ukrainian, and we have been thinking so much about both his people and the Russian people. I cannot even imagine what current events are like for you, for your family. I just wanted to thank you because as always, in times of pain or stress, your videos help me to relax, feel calm, and sleep. I hope that you are able to do the same. You are such a good person, and our prayers go out to you and to your family. Blessings to you all; may you stay safe and well!
It's ok to be not ok. We are all feeling very anxious right now. I truly appreciate the love to give, and you are worthy even when you don't feel up to making asmr for us. You are always special, and we all care about you so deeply, Maria. Please never apologise for saying how you feel. We cannot release emotions if we do not feel and express them. Sending you all the love I can muster right now xxx
Maria, thank you so much for making this safe space for us all. Many of us have followed you for years (even as long as a decade!) and we truly care about you - I hope we can be your safe space, too. I'm so sorry things are so incredibly tough right now. For you to be considering all of our feelings during this time just shows the wonderful woman that you are. We love you and appreciate you more than you know. Just... thank you ❤️
Maria, thinking of you and your family during this horrible time. Please do not let the negative, xenophobic comments of a few gadflies on Instagram get to you. I hope that you know that the majority of us have your back and always will. I am so grateful for your generosity over the years with your viewers and I hope that people remember that generosity and treat you with kindness always.
@@msenoir1 It looks like it. Are the idiots who think she's responsible for the war happy now? Is the world a better place because of them? I just don't understand how there is always a group of complete arses (I apologise to the actual donkeys of the world) in situations like this.
Hey, all, I happened to see a Maria mention on Whispers Red's channel last nite. A commenter wrote they were worried about Maria, as she's gone dark. Emma wrote a reply: "She is ok!" Hope this eases the worry for any of you concerned about Maria. It's a big world, but it's smaller now as we all band together. Stay strong, hope is on every horizon. I know. Goodnight, and sleep with good dreams, all my kiddos. 💜👋💙💛✨🌻 💙💛🌏
Maria, every day I have listened to you since I was 14 years old, you truly have been the caring mother figure I didn’t always get to have. I see how cruel the world is being to you right now and it brings me to tears. How people feel that is okay to upset such a kind and caring soul is beyond me. I also see how many people you have touched and I see all the good you have done for people all over the world. You helped us and I truly hope we can help you as I see all the love possible sent to you and your family. I truly send all of my light and love to you 💗
The “I’ll clean it up” hand wave at 5:44… that’s what Maria does. She takes our stress and waves it away so we can stop worrying, if just for a little bit of healing. Thank you for all that you do!❤️
Because of certain issues, I do not have any hair. Videos like this make me forget for a little bit, make feel at peace and give me strength. Thank you Maria ❤️
Hi Maria I have to say you have been on my mind pretty much every day recently. I hope you and your family are well and safe especially those abroad from you. You are such an important figure in so many of our lives, we reach for you in our times of need (for calming, anxiety release, sleep, etc) and I wanted to join those other who are reaching out to you now. Stay strong you amazing, lovely lovely person. Lots of love ❤ xxxxxx
@@lukolova прекратите вы уже ныть. Как вы достали. 500 раз она сказала, что сложно ей произносить слова. Постоянно кто-нибудь смеётся на её русской речью. Филологи одни сплошные. И это неправда, что она не обращает внимание, по мере возможности всё делает. Меня не игнорировала. Так что если не нравится, не слушайте и не надо политики тут и тяжёлого времени. Канал не об этом.
Maria, you have been there for me since 2011/2012 helping me to calm down and sleep when my anxiety was at its worst. I’ve been watching you since you lived in the little apartment in Baltimore, and you were doing videos at your job 😁. My life was so bad then that I prayed and asked God to not let me wake up in the morning 😔😢 Thankfully He knew better and didn’t listen. You were there for me at my lowest. Your eyes look sad in this video. I don’t personally know you but I love you. You have been on my mind, and I pray that your family in Russia is safe , sound, and healthy. I’m sending you positivity, love, and light. Big huge hug from your *internet* Big Sis ❤️💙💜💗🖤💛💖💞💚💓🧡
спасибо большое, Маша.. 5 часов, не могу уснуть от тревоги и переполняющих голову страшных мыслей. но ваше видео как всегда помогает, пусть даже и немного. спасибо за вашу заботу
@@Natalia-l1y Don't let anger rule. It blinds the ability to discern, and clouds understanding. Do in-depth research. Propaganda infiltrates the media. Search for truth.
Maria - I was introduced to you, by accident, almost ten years ago. My grandmother (who was like a mother to me) passed and not even a month later you came up on my recommended videos. I had never heard of ASMR (at the time “whisper videos”) and it brought such genuine relief to my soul. My grandmother was my introduction to tingles as a child. I didn’t realize that other people had this shared experience. Let alone that I could connect so deeply with someone through the internet. You are the only TH-camr I have emotionally connected to over the years. I am also a ♋️ and have such a deep appreciation for your values. My son passed in 2018 and I never thought I could be happy about a baby again until I saw your motherhood journey. It’s such a blessing what you have been willing to share with this community. I know right now is a terribly difficult time… in ways I could never understand. Please remember during this time how much we appreciate you, your roots, and support whatever you may need during this time. What is happening in Russia is terrible and some people may forget that Russian citizens also fall victim. I pray that your family is safe and that you feel surrounded by love during this time… as you have always showed us love in our darkest moments. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you. ❤️
Hello Maria. I noticed that you haven’t posted in awhile and I hope you and your family are all ok. Thinking of you, thank you for being so warm and kind. Many people are hoping for peace for you ❤️
@@mrretired2715 Family in Russia and Russian is her ethnicity. As a person so focused on healing och making people feel safe and happy it must be a terrible experience to feel connected to war and destruction.
Maria, you and your family have constantly been in my thoughts. I am so sorry for what you’re going through, please know I’m sending light and healing your way (and to your mom as well)! We all love you so much, thank you for EVERYTHING you do for this community ❤️
When you are ready, we will be waiting for you. This must be torment for you. I completely understand your silence. Most people on here have nothing but compassion for you in this situation. Of course there will be those find it hard to be understanding and their anger makes them negative - but just remember, most of us will be here when you feel safe, able and ready to return ❤️
Her videos have been helping me sleep for years now, I’m sure along with many of you as well. Lets take a moment to appreciate her hard work!Without a doubt, The Queen of ASMR!
Take as much time as you need, Maria. we’ll be here when you return! you’ve done so much for my life, it’s time I give back to you ♡ take care, and remember a long walk in nature can do wonders.
Maria, I hardly ever comment, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching your ASMR channel for years. Your videos always bring me comfort, calm my anxiety, and give me feelings of safety and protection. I can’t imagine the things you’re going through right now, and I can’t believe the bullying and negative comments towards you and/or your loved ones. I’m so sorry. You deserve the same feelings of comfort and safety that you’ve given us all these years. The world and people in general can be so cruel. We need more people like you. ❤️ I’ve been checking in on your channel, your vlog channel, and your sister’s channel for updates. Those who love and support you are going to be here waiting. Take all the time you need to process and feel safe to get back online again. ❤️
Thankyou for being the mother I never had when I need it Maria. Your love and warmth radiates through the screen every time I watch you and it’s genuinely healing.❤️
Idk these kinda comments irk me cause although they mean well it can make her feel self conscious about the way she comes across in videos and its kinda giving someone a complex that they look sad when you dont know their life
Hey Maria, I know I’m “a bit” late to the “party” here but I just want to say thank you for all you have done for us as a collective community. Sending all my love, thoughts and prayers to you and your loved ones in these difficult times. This video, the hair brushing, reminds me a lot of what my mother would do when I was young. Every night she’d always brush my hair (which would result in me falling asleep almost instantly). It reminds me of those happier times, and certainly helps bring a feeling of peace and calm. Thank you
You have always given us peace, now it's our turn to send you a lot of peace. Thanks for your work, I never wrote to you but I always see you and you help me with my depression, you calm my mind. I send you a lot of peace Maria, I hope your family is well. Please, let us learn to differentiate between a government and the people, let us not fight among ourselves, we are better than them and let us understand that there are countries in which it is not easy to make certain contrary ideas public. Peace for all.
@@truthbtold1392 From your reply I see that you have not understood a single word of my comment. Or perhaps you have understood what you wanted to be able to answer me in this rude way. It can be understood in both ways. Even, despite having been so rude, I wish you a lot of peace too. Jesus, yes! This is the world coming to... A world where people attack instead of politely asking, yes your world, not mine.
@Truth B Told What about their comment was so hard for you to understand? Apparently all of it. The comment isn’t vague at all, just take it one word at a time and you’ll get it eventually. ☺️
I love these types of videos from Maria, where you can tell she is making the kind of ASMR that SHE would enjoy as a viewer. It makes this wonderful, shared, authentic experience.
I hope you are okay, Maria. It’s been a while since you’ve uploaded a new video. Hopefully you’re healthy and feeling well. You are a true and precious gift to so many of us.
Just want to send all my best wishes to you and your family Maria at this terrible time in the news. Your videos have been helping me since 2012. You are a credit to any country. Here's to peace, for all of us.
I have so much respect and love for you. And the fact that you’re still sticking to your schedule of uploading even in such difficult times..Please know that you don’t have to if you don’t feel like it. You don’t owe us anything, but we owe you everything ❤️ I’ve been talking about you to my family for years (they know how important you are to me) and they asked me today how things were with you and your family. I want you to know that we are all thinking so much about you ❤️ Sending you so much love from Oslo, Norway.
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time maria, youve always been so open and and vulnerable with us, its always shown how genuine you are and really made this channel feel like a safe space. I hope this can be your safe place too. Sending love and hope to you all x
Thinking of you and your family. You are missed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for all of the peace and serenity you bring to everyone; praying for the same for you.
it’s always very difficult to explain to someone how immensely asmr has helped me. I have been watching you for 7 years now and I hope you know that your videos have made me feel so safe and relaxed for that long. I truly wish the best you and your family forever Maria ❤️
Masha, I remember you mentioning how you were experimenting/trying to up your lighting game and I have to say, the light in this video is beautiful, soft and dreamy! Ir definitely amplified the tingles for me because it makes the room feel so cozy!
Thank you for all your amazing and calming videos. I’ll never forget watching the one you posted after the US election in 2016. You said something about people needing love and comfort. You are so many people’s comfort and we want to send all that love back to you.
Awe Maria . I have been using your videos for years and years to help me with my PTSD , mental health and in my recovery from substance abuse. I want you to know what a wonderful woman you are and that you do make a huge difference to people, you have for me . Thank you for being brave and inspiring especially during a time where there is uncertainty in the world. I not only pray for Ukrainian people but pray for the people in Russia too . I pray your family and loved ones back home for you are safe and will have peace too . Your a person of light and I hope you continue to shine when or if the world becomes dark again. We need people like you . Much love and respect.
Maria, I understand why you can't speak out on the war. And I want you to know it's okay. I too have family in Russia. I cannot speak out on what is happening without fear they will be harmed. Ignore the commenters being horrible to you and making assumptions. We love you. You're a wonderful person and your family comes first. Thank you for an amazing video. You always calm me down, I'll never be able to sleep without your videos.
Hey Maria. We haven’t seen you for a while - not complaining! - you are entitled to privacy and breaks - but I wanted to say we are missing you and send lots of well wishes to you and your family. See you whenever you are ready 💞💞💞
I hope you are okay Maria. We love you and support you always. YOU are what makes the world brighter. You have a kindness that radiates from you without even having to say anything. You are a gift to this world. Thank you for what you have given us. I hope in some way we can give you back even a small amount of the comfort you have given to all of us over these many years. God bless you, and your family. Sending love ❤️
I feel a little lost with where to go the last few weeks so I keep ending up on the comments. It’s a strange feeling to be worried for someone who you feel is a close friend that you’ve never met. ❤️ I hope your family is safe and healthy.
Hello Maria, my name is grace and I have been watching your videos since I was small. You have comforted me so much over the years and now I wish more than anything in the world I could comfort you. I cannot begin to imagine how hard these times must be for you and your family. We are all with you if you need us, and so many of us adore you. Sending you so many hugs 💗💗 love from grace xxxx
I think the world needs a little more Maria, and a little less craziness! I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! Thanks Maria for the relaxation! 💤
Understandably, as a Mother, I’m sure you’re feeling the need to protect your family (and yourself) from the bad in the world. Just know that you are a beautiful soul and your absence is felt, Masha.
@@gabircik you are from USA. I feel that you have a lot of money. first we take back Alaska. then we take back the rest. American continent was connected to Russia a long time ago.
I hope you are doing well Maria. I keep checking to see if there's a new video. I pray that your family is ok. Please know that many of us are concerned for you. Ignore the negative. You have many more who love you.
Maria, I reach out to you as you were one of the first ASMR artists I watched on You Tube. At first it was just for stress relief at work. Life had gotten harder in many ways for me since that time and now I am dealing with the hardest challenge in my life, losing my Sweetheart to a stroke last week. I am still watching you and feeling immense comfort in your videos and I want to let you know that what you do is very important and meaningful. I am sure you probably already know this but I wanted to let you know again how much you are appreciated. We have and probably never will meet but you really have helped me through a very difficult time. Thank you so much❤
my condolences🙏🖤 hope you heal and find relief in Maria as always. I told her I would be dead if it wasn’t for her. I had so many close calls with death since 2018, that it’s a miracle I am still fighting to stay alive. Her videos got me through my darkest times when the world of medicine failed me and not one dr stepped up to try to fix me yet. Drs break their oath like it is meaningless here. If that is not discouraging idk what is.
I just discovered your channel, and it brought some comfort and good memories, thank you so much. I needed this today, going through a very rough time, I pray for all in this world 🌎, and for peace ☮️.
Hi there Maria I know that you’re probably going through an extremely hard time right now but if you happen to read this message I just want to let you that I’m thinking and praying for your family & friends in Russia. The vast majority of people do not want this monstrosity that currently taking place in the world and we as ASMR viewers are here for you. I have watched your videos for 9 years straight and you are the most talented ASMRtist in the world in my opinion. I recently went through a highly traumatic experience myself so I’m here as a shoulder to lean on when it comes to hard times. I’m wishing you all the best for you and your loved ones. ❤️❤️
~Weirdest visual trigger ever, but seeing how she opened and closed the clips so close to the camera around 6:25 -- gave me more tingles than I've had in a while. So oddly satisfying XD
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, we love you and we love your family 💓✨ thank you for all you give, I hope you feel the love we are sending to you, may it heal and guide you through this time.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who’s been concerned for Maria and her family. Maria, you’ve been a source of comfort for me for the past several years, and I am so, so grateful for all you do. There are always going to be terrible people who will attack people for who they are or for just being themselves. For every hateful person and comment, there are one hundred people who love you and wish you the best. Please stay safe and stay well!
After changing the comments to the latest order, you can scroll down and see Maria's own long comments from the person "Aga" two weeks ago. She mentioned her remarks about Putin 10 years ago and said she doesn't like him now. She made it clear that she would not support war, and she had no choice but to remain silent for her family. As a South Korean subscriber who loves Maria, I comment in poor English.
The lighting in this video is deliciously sweet, like a peach 🍑 Thanks for making these comforting videos, Maria. In times like these, they are much needed and much appreciated 💖
I struggle going throughout the day during times like this. I feel so helpless. What can I do? How can I help stop this. I cry all the time thinking about the family’s and people scared and hurting. I am thinking of you and your family. This world can be a terrible place. Just try to spread as much love as you can- and Maria, you spread SO much love and healing to us all.
My cat, Ziggy Stardust, absolutely loves to get brushed. When he hears me brush my hair, he comes running to get brushed. I had to buy him a mini version of my boar bristles brush. I play hair brushing videos for him…he likes this one 😺😽
Hello, Maria! I usually do not write comments because I like to keep my opinions and emotions to myself... but this is too much! I have been subscribed to your channel for quite a number of years now. Actually, the first ASMR video I ever watched was one of yours :)) Your calm and warm energy and your kind personality have managed to pull me out of some very scary depressive episodes and your videos always managed to bring some calm to my hectic mind. And I want to offer my sincerest gratitude for all you have done for me through your work! We live in, as our leaders of opinion say, very unprecedented times and on one hand these times have managed to bring to light the kindness of people, who are helping the refugees with everything they need, they have united us like never before, but on the other hand..... they also brought death, destruction, trauma, separation for some people and the ugly emotions in others (friendly advice for those others: every time you feel like leaving a not so nice comment on the internet in general, get away from the device that you are using and do something that makes you happy, talk with someone dear to you, or maybe just look outside and be thankful that you don't live in a warzone or in George Orwell's 1984 dystopia in real life). On an ending note to everyone, please show compassion and kindness to others, we are all people and we all have emotions and feelings. Maria has been there for us in various moments of our lives through her videos, whether she knows it or not, so let's be there for her when she needs us to be. Wishing you all the best of health, peace of soul and peace for the world! From a highly anxious potato in a country in Eastern Europe :x Oh, a PS, you also helped me learn some basic Russian, and it is SO HANDY when dealing with people who don't know any other language other than Ukrainian. So спасибо за ето, Мария!
Sending much love warmth and light to you and all your loved ones Maria. You have been a fundamental member of the ASMR community since the birth of the ASMR channel and you were who I listened to for the longest time when I was suffering from insomnia and anxiety, especially when I lost my beautiful Father back in 2019. Sending so much love, warmth and compassion during these dark times and I’m so sorry that disgusting horrific things are happening in your home town, you are such a beacon of love hope sweetness and light and I hope all your loved ones are safe and healthy. I want you to know that you are never alone and we love and support you and all your loved ones always x I am so sorry that these horrible events are occurring and I wish for peace and comfort during these horrific times to come very soon. Sending much love from Australia 💕 ❤️
college classes have gotten really stressful recently and I’ve been watching your videos every night to help me sleep. This upload came just in time as I’m about to sit down and struggle my way through some homework. Feeling a little bit more at peace right now, thank you Maria!
Same. I remember I discovered her through her nails and glass tapping video. It's a really old video but that's the first I felt tingles that I finally discovered ASMR
Пока не отключили youtube, хочу сказать Вам, Мария, спасибо огромное за всё, что Вы делаете на своём канале, благополучия Вам и Вашей семье! Буду скучать 😥 🙏🏼☮️
Hi Maria. Sending you love and best wishes. I usually don’t comment on your videos but I’ve noticed you’ve been away for a bit and just want to send positive energy💕 you’ve built such an amazing community and we all support and appreciate you! I hope time off is bringing you peace. You’ve helped me through some tough times over the past 8 years. I can’t thank you enough💕
Scalp massage and hair brushing asmr always give me tingles. The sound of fingers or hair tools on a scalp is just so relaxing and tingling. Reminds me of a salon atmosphere, where it's nothing but relaxation and pampering. Very relaxing indeed.
Машенька, спасибо за твой труд в такой непростой период! И не слушай токсичные комменты соотечественников - "не ведают что творят..", а адекватной части коммьюнити больно на это смотреть. Сил тебе, лучик и здоровья семье!
I adore the lighting and warmth in this video. It's so strange but soothing how much I can FEEL the loving connection in this video. As someone said this truly does comfort my inner child. I scratch and comb my boyfriend's head with my nails and he loves it so much ☺️
we miss & love you maria. prayers & positive energy sent to your family in this dark time. you have helped me through some of my darkest times in the past 8 years
Maria, thank you so much for your relaxing videos. 6 months ago today, my sweet grandmother passed on to live a better life in heaven🤍🏝 It’s been incredibly difficult no longer having her around, but your videos ease some of the pain. Again, thank you for helping on those sleepless nights. Take care 🤍🤍✨
I love coming back to Maria’s channel to watch a video when I’m ready to nap. It’s like visiting with an old friend. I’m so thankful I found her channel. 💜
You are loved.. you are enough & you do enough. I just feel like you need to hear the same words you tell us that make us feel so much better.. we love you Maria.
Miss you, Maria, your video always support me and make me feel relax when I troubled by anxiety. Even though we're far apart, I feel like that you're one of my closest friends. Blessings to you and your family. It's a hard time, but I wish you know that there're people from the other side of the world supporting & loving you❤️
Было так неожиданно и так приятно увидеть в своих уведомлениях новое видео Маши🥲❤, спасибо Вам за этот подарок, который очень - очень нужен нам всем! Но я не смог уснуть, всё смотрел на выразительно красивейшее лицо ангела во флаконе нежнейшей сердцем королевы АСМР, всё смотрел, смотрел и прям в сердце сжималось, прочувствовал такую огромную тяжёлую грусть, я понимаю, с чем она связана, захотелось обнять Машу и поблагодарить за то, что Вы, Мария, делаете, я уверен, что каждый зритель, вне зависимости от того, на каком языке он разговаривает и в какой стране живёт, сейчас прибывает с Вами, я не исключение, Вы безумно хороший и великолепнейшийй человек, а всё то, что Вы делаете - бесценно! Я с огромной благодарностью и любовью Вам и к Вашей семье желаю терпения, сил, любви, добра, мира,успехов, крепкого здоровья, всего этого я желаю и тем, кто наткнулся на мой комментарий, не грустите, мы с Вами, мы все нужны друг другу, всё обязательно наладится, всё будет хорошо. Мир меняется с каждым днём, все перемены несут что - то своё, главное, оставаться человеком с добрым сердцем в груди и с любовью к людям, и к самой жизни! Пожалуйста, поймите, все мы заложники этих перемен, вне зависимости от наших предпочтений, взглядов, мнений, любви к жизни и к людям, все мы понимаем что и как, но под разным ракурсом. Я надеюсь, что никого этим комментарием не обидел🤔🥰. Спасибо большое, Маш, за подарок для сердца и души, я Вас крепко обнимаю, пускай и на расстоянии ❤😊❤🤗

Здравствуйте, Машенька. Привет из Липецка. Почитала комментарии, как много любящих и благодарных Вас людей. Мы любим и скучаем по Вам. Не падайте духом. Всё наладится. Душевного Вам спокойствия!!! Весны в душе!!!
Love you Maria, forever and always. You saved my life 5 years ago. You are such a warm, caring and also very funny person!! I have cherished getting to 'know' you through this channel and also Masha channel. I need you to know you are so loved, respected and appreciated. I've been thinking of you and your family and holding you in my heart. Wishing you all the best
Hey Maria ♥️ Your videos have helped me since 2015. I don't think I've ever commented before but I feel it's important for everyone that appreciates you to join the conversation here in support. Sending love to you and your loved ones in both your home countries. I so sincerely hope that you and your family are making it through this time (one whispery head massage at a time) and that we will have the privilege of hearing from you again when you are ready. Thank you for what you do, you're a good soul ✨ Melbourne, Australia
Recently I've been really enjoying sounds of hair being pinned back, it's one of my favorite parts in hair videos and I wanted to make it longer for you. I hope this will relax you and make you feel better. ♥

You’ve been there for so many of us during times of sadness, heartbreak, and anxiousness, I pray you too find comfort during this time. ❤️🥺✨
Aaah María this is absolutely amazing, thank you so much 💚
this look is giving Nicole Kidman vibes! thanks for brushing my hair. 🥰🥰🥰
Just wanted to say thank you for another fab video, and just wanted to send my best wishes. I'm sure it's been an incredibly distressing time, watching the events of the past week unfold, and I can only hope people are being kind (as sadly, thick people are everywhere). Much love x
hope you & your family are okay ❤️
So much warmth in these comments, makes me remember there's still good in this world. If you're reading this, stranger, I wish you a peaceful night and sweet dreams wherever you are, especially if times are tough right now
to u too
Thank you and I too wish us all peace.
I had a similar thought....it's so beautiful to see when people are just simply kind🥰🌹

Amen to that….!!!! As with any worthless, dictator, POS that somehow found their way into political leadership, we all need to keep in mind that that. trash doesn’t represent the people…..and never really did (at least in communistic countries). Although, the irony to that statement is that in America, there are tens of millions of people that willingly voted for the POTUS that allowed, if not blatantly encouraged Putin to to behave this way. And, the rest of the world’s dictators are encouraged by how weak America’s POTUS is, so look for things to get much worse, and by more countries. But, I digress….I hope you and any family still living on that part of the world are healthy, and safe.
Started watching Maria in 2011 shortly after my mom passed when I was 16... she was such a big part of my healing journey.
Today, more than 10 years later, I picked out my wedding dress 💕
That’s beautiful. Congratulations. May your mum continue to Rest In Peace❤️
Congratulations! That must've been really hard without your mom there, I know when I was younger (10 or 11) I always imagined what finding my dress with my mom would be like. You are so brave and strong and im truely sorry for your loss, and I know your mom will be smiling down at you on your special day
Congratulations 🖤🖤🖤 may you & your spouse have many lifetimes full of happiness, love, & passion!!! Take care!! Xoxo

I'm so sorry for your lost and also congratulations
This is a reply that Maria left to someone a couple weeks ago for people wondering:
My silence does not come from the evil, dear Aga. I too am devastated by the events, please believe it, I am not a heartless animal as mistaken by many. I do not wish to make a public statement as I noted before. This channel is not made for these topics, I spread peace and comfort here, especially in the time of terror. I did the mistake a few times of speaking politics and regretted it deeply, time to learn from my mistakes. I just hope people remember that I have not started this war and I am not the one who has any power to finish it. Even with 4% of my viewers being from Russia (yes, only 4%), all the news are available with the click of a button, all of the information. If I knew that I could actually help with any posts, besides of repeating what is shown by trusted news sources I would've done them, I hope you can believe me. When I said I wanted to have dinner with Putin (11 years ago) I also liked my ex husband and Kanye West and none of those people are my favorite anymore, not even a little bit. Am I in support of war? I believe any intelligent and sane person understands the answer to that. No. I know this is not what you wanted to hear and it comes from the bottom of my heart - I hope you find peace of mind for yourself and let me find mine. I do not delete comments btw, there is a filter for "bad" words and for inappropriate links to protect my viewers and myself, an option that You tube allows us to choose here, so you don't see 90% of crazy stuff that I get to see in the spam folder. I privated a lot of my videos and my insta because people have gone absolutely mad and the harassment is on a new level for me and I cannot trust any of my information to be out there anymore, you are welcome to assume all the things that could be happening behind the screen ;) . So dear, Aga, what can we do to help the people of Ukraine? I'm doing my part, I just don't have to share it with you to get likes and approval. I have people that I care about in both countries and my heart is hurting for both sides.
Thank you! This is so heartbreaking. I hate that she can’t share her art and energy with us without dealing with all the awfulness.
Someone was mean to our sweet Maria??!! How awful! Ty for posting this! I hope she know that we love and miss her and don't feel the same as those horrible people!!
Thank you so much for sharing this Holli. I think I'm not alone in worrying if Maria has been ok. Many of us long-time followers of her channel remember when she said that she admired Putin and the good things that he had done for Russia. We were rightfully concerned that she still might feel that way, and that has weighed heavily on our hearts. To hear that she doesn't feel that way anymore eases my heart, and I'm sure many others as well. Peace ❤
I wish people weren't so ignorant and prejudiced.
wow, people, get educated because there's no total information in the news that's why they are news. these ASMR videos are cool but you really have to know much more to understand war and the battle between good and evil. Make some real effort. Uneducated people cannot discuss everything. Truth is hidden. Start searching. You'll have to do more than click on news and of course, do something beautiful and positive like Maria.
It's so strange being so worried about someone who doesn't even know you exist. I've been watching your videos for 3 years now, and as stange as it is, I consider you a friend. You've literally gotten me through some of the toughest times.
I can't begin to imagine what you're going through right now, but I just wanted to tell you that you matter. You're loved. And you have people out there thinking about you and sending you all the love that you have so freely given these past years. ♥️
Im the same as you. I don't think Maria has ever gone 3 or 4 weeks without posting. I definitely do not expect an ASMR video but i wish she could give us a quick update and let us know she's ok..
What’s she going through?
@@epinephrine9429 Her family is russian. She’s gotten an abhorrent amount of misplaced hatred for not speaking publicly about what’s going on. It isn’t safe for her to do so because she’s a public figure and has family living in russia
Shes russian not ukrainan
@Briana Ohh, ok. How awful for her! I hope she and her family are all ok. It’s so mind-boggling to me how people want the ASMR community to use their peace, serenity and sleep-inducing platform to speak publicly about political and hot button issues when that is the antithesis of what ASMRtists are trying to accomplish for their followers. She is amazing and a true artist of her craft and I hope she will return back to her loyal fans soon. ❤️
I once heard that people feel sleepy around someone when their inner child feels safe. Maria, you have not only given us videos that help us relax, but also an undeniably loving presence that makes space for our inner children to be comforted and cared for. Through TH-cam and the ASMR community, your example of love and gentleness will carry into future generations, I know it. Thank you for everything
What a great words 🥺
So lovely
@@eyexha sweet
Couldn't agree more 👏🏼
It all makes sense now 😮 I didn’t get much affection, my mom was a good one, but she worked a lot and was always tired. So it was just quick hugs goodbye in the mornings. So yes, I agree.
Literally to the 1% whos reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day. 💕
Thx a lot I wholeheartedly wish you the same to you and your family 🥰😇 May God bless you and may he bring to your life joy and happiness at all times ❤️
May the Good Lord bless you too 🙏 ❤
Maria, i thought about you often these days. please do whatever makes you happy at your own pace, we are here to support you! i hope your family and loved ones are doing okay during this terrible time. praying that it'll end soon
I've been thinking about their family too.
@@erincollins6633 why you thinking about their family?
@@natalia6527 Maria’s family lives in Russia..
why wouldn't her family be ok? they live in Russia and there are no fights going on there. it is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, people are dying there, including children, houses are bombed, people have to leave everything and run away. or fight. already over 400,000 people have been forced to leave their country. there are no fights in russia, so really .....
but it is in Ukraine that there are people to worry about.
sorry for my English
Maria, i love you and your asmr, but but it weakens me when I see people don't know what's going on, so
@@natalia6527 Of course the biggest tragedy and trauma is for the people directly affected in Ukraine, but no one’s said they’re NOT thinking of them. I feel for the innocent people in Russia too, who will surely be affected by this in some way or another, just because of the choices from people in power. Of course it’s not the same as what the people in Ukraine are and will be going through, but that doesn’t mean it’s nothing? It’s a terrible time for many people around the world, and I don’t understand why people couldn’t or shouldn’t send love/thoughts/prayers etc to many places and people around the world. Surely love and compassion are not the bad guys here.
Maria, do not let anyone equate any part of you with anyone else. You are a blessing - what matters most is that you and your family are ok. Time to give back to you - thank you for all you do, working so hard to help others! Practically every single night you have helped me relax - there's no one else who matches your passion for your work, your compassion for others, and your beautiful heart. It hurts me to know people might say anything derogatory about you. You are the light in millions of people's lives. Do not get pulled into others words about you. We know you, and you are beautiful! I hope your family is ok. Lots of love and light right back at you with so many thanks for the work you do for us and the special spirit you have. No one can take that soul from you - keep your inner beauty! - We believe in YOU and love you!
👍
This!! 1 million percent this! Beautifully said 🥰
I hesitated to comment because I'm not a regular viewer, though I'm a subscriber for a very long time. I just see so much sadness in your eyes and I just wanted to say that you have a large community here that genuinely cares about you. I know this is a very difficult time for you and your family. Please know that all will be well and everyone here is thinking of you and your family. You gave us so much comfort in our time of need when we are going through personal hardships. Please don't hesitate to allow us to give back in whatever way we can. You are loved and you are love. Thank you for continuing to create the best comforting content. You have saved so many lives including mine. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
On another video, someone commented that your voice sounds like a crackling fire, and I can’t unhear it. Truly the ASMR voice of a generation. The community could not and would not be the same without Maria
I can’t unhear it now too 😂 it’s still absolutely gorgeous

I just wanted to thank you because as always, in times of pain or stress, your videos help me to relax, feel calm, and sleep. I hope that you are able to do the same. You are such a good person, and our prayers go out to you and to your family. Blessings to you all; may you stay safe and well!

I truly appreciate the love to give, and you are worthy even when you don't feel up to making asmr for us. You are always special, and we all care about you so deeply, Maria.
Please never apologise for saying how you feel. We cannot release emotions if we do not feel and express them.

I hope that you know that the majority of us have your back and always will. I am so grateful for your generosity over the years with your viewers and I hope that people remember that generosity and treat you with kindness always.
has she been facing a lot of hate and xenophobia because of what’s happening? That breaks my heart…
Did she delete her Instagram 😢?
@@msenoir1 It looks like it. Are the idiots who think she's responsible for the war happy now? Is the world a better place because of them? I just don't understand how there is always a group of complete arses (I apologise to the actual donkeys of the world) in situations like this.
What's happening?
Yeah, her Instagram is gone! What IS happening. I hope you’re/she’s ok
I check every few days just to see if you are back. I sincerely pray that all is well. God bless you and your family Maria. We love you so much! ❤️
Same!! I check daily!

I find myself looking when I get my video ready at night to see if she is back, it's so nice to have so many videos to get us by until she's ready!
Hey, all, I happened to see a Maria mention on Whispers Red's channel last nite. A commenter wrote they were worried about Maria, as she's gone dark. Emma wrote a reply: "She is ok!"
Hope this eases the worry for any of you concerned about Maria. It's a big world, but it's smaller now as we all band together. Stay strong, hope is on every horizon. I know. Goodnight, and sleep with good dreams, all my kiddos. 💜👋💙💛✨🌻 💙💛🌏
Maria, every day I have listened to you since I was 14 years old, you truly have been the caring mother figure I didn’t always get to have. I see how cruel the world is being to you right now and it brings me to tears. How people feel that is okay to upset such a kind and caring soul is beyond me. I also see how many people you have touched and I see all the good you have done for people all over the world. You helped us and I truly hope we can help you as I see all the love possible sent to you and your family. I truly send all of my light and love to you 💗
The peachy pink tones, the soft brushing, and of course your gentle presence, this is 40 minutes of serotonin. Thank you. 🌈
i love the peach-colored lighting going on, reminds me of the evening sky just as the sun begins to set. such a cozy time of day to become sleepy 💕💤
❤️ it
That's the most perfect way to describe it
The “I’ll clean it up” hand wave at 5:44… that’s what Maria does. She takes our stress and waves it away so we can stop worrying, if just for a little bit of healing. Thank you for all that you do!❤️
Because of certain issues, I do not have any hair. Videos like this make me forget for a little bit, make feel at peace and give me strength. Thank you Maria ❤️
You are valid regardless. But don't let yourself fall into hopelessness. If you want to find a way out, have the courage to love you!! You're worth it
Hi Maria I have to say you have been on my mind pretty much every day recently. I hope you and your family are well and safe especially those abroad from you. You are such an important figure in so many of our lives, we reach for you in our times of need (for calming, anxiety release, sleep, etc) and I wanted to join those other who are reaching out to you now. Stay strong you amazing, lovely lovely person. Lots of love ❤ xxxxxx

I’ve been watching you since you lived in the little apartment in Baltimore, and you were doing videos at your job 😁. My life was so bad then that I prayed and asked God to not let me wake up in the morning 😔😢 Thankfully He knew better and didn’t listen. You were there for me at my lowest.

Maria -
I was introduced to you, by accident, almost ten years ago. My grandmother (who was like a mother to me) passed and not even a month later you came up on my recommended videos. I had never heard of ASMR (at the time “whisper videos”) and it brought such genuine relief to my soul. My grandmother was my introduction to tingles as a child. I didn’t realize that other people had this shared experience. Let alone that I could connect so deeply with someone through the internet. You are the only TH-camr I have emotionally connected to over the years. I am also a ♋️ and have such a deep appreciation for your values. My son passed in 2018 and I never thought I could be happy about a baby again until I saw your motherhood journey. It’s such a blessing what you have been willing to share with this community.
I know right now is a terribly difficult time… in ways I could never understand. Please remember during this time how much we appreciate you, your roots, and support whatever you may need during this time. What is happening in Russia is terrible and some people may forget that Russian citizens also fall victim. I pray that your family is safe and that you feel surrounded by love during this time… as you have always showed us love in our darkest moments. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you. ❤️
Beautifully said 💖 Couldn't agree more.
I am also so sorry for your losses 😞

When you are ready, we will be waiting for you. This must be torment for you. I completely understand your silence. Most people on here have nothing but compassion for you in this situation. Of course there will be those find it hard to be understanding and their anger makes them negative - but just remember, most of us will be here when you feel safe, able and ready to return ❤️
Her videos have been helping me sleep for years now, I’m sure along with many of you as well. Lets take a moment to appreciate her hard work!Without a doubt, The Queen of ASMR!
Take as much time as you need, Maria. we’ll be here when you return! you’ve done so much for my life, it’s time I give back to you ♡ take care, and remember a long walk in nature can do wonders.

Maria,
I hardly ever comment, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching your ASMR channel for years. Your videos always bring me comfort, calm my anxiety, and give me feelings of safety and protection.
I can’t imagine the things you’re going through right now, and I can’t believe the bullying and negative comments towards you and/or your loved ones. I’m so sorry. You deserve the same feelings of comfort and safety that you’ve given us all these years. The world and people in general can be so cruel. We need more people like you. ❤️
I’ve been checking in on your channel, your vlog channel, and your sister’s channel for updates. Those who love and support you are going to be here waiting. Take all the time you need to process and feel safe to get back online again.
❤️
Thankyou for being the mother I never had when I need it Maria. Your love and warmth radiates through the screen every time I watch you and it’s genuinely healing.❤️
Im watching this again, and I couldn’t help but notice the sadness in your eyes. You are such a blessing to my life. I love you Maria.
Thought this exact same thing, I hope she’s alright
Idk these kinda comments irk me cause although they mean well it can make her feel self conscious about the way she comes across in videos and its kinda giving someone a complex that they look sad when you dont know their life
Hey Maria, I know I’m “a bit” late to the “party” here but I just want to say thank you for all you have done for us as a collective community. Sending all my love, thoughts and prayers to you and your loved ones in these difficult times.
This video, the hair brushing, reminds me a lot of what my mother would do when I was young. Every night she’d always brush my hair (which would result in me falling asleep almost instantly). It reminds me of those happier times, and certainly helps bring a feeling of peace and calm. Thank you
最近また眠れなくなってきてASMRを色々探すけど、やっぱり何年経ってもここに戻ってきてしまう。

Maria Let us know how you are. I’m worried about you sweetheart. We love you
You have always given us peace, now it's our turn to send you a lot of peace. Thanks for your work, I never wrote to you but I always see you and you help me with my depression, you calm my mind. I send you a lot of peace Maria, I hope your family is well. Please, let us learn to differentiate between a government and the people, let us not fight among ourselves, we are better than them and let us understand that there are countries in which it is not easy to make certain contrary ideas public. Peace for all.
Well said
@@truthbtold1392 From your reply I see that you have not understood a single word of my comment. Or perhaps you have understood what you wanted to be able to answer me in this rude way. It can be understood in both ways. Even, despite having been so rude, I wish you a lot of peace too. Jesus, yes! This is the world coming to... A world where people attack instead of politely asking, yes your world, not mine.
@Truth B Told What about their comment was so hard for you to understand? Apparently all of it. The comment isn’t vague at all, just take it one word at a time and you’ll get it eventually. ☺️
I love these types of videos from Maria, where you can tell she is making the kind of ASMR that SHE would enjoy as a viewer. It makes this wonderful, shared, authentic experience.
I hope you are okay, Maria. It’s been a while since you’ve uploaded a new video. Hopefully you’re healthy and feeling well. You are a true and precious gift to so many of us.
Just want to send all my best wishes to you and your family Maria at this terrible time in the news. Your videos have been helping me since 2012. You are a credit to any country. Here's to peace, for all of us.
"it's ok, I've got you". Those words hit me like a brick. I needed to hear that so much and I don't even know why. Thank you, Maria.
I have so much respect and love for you. And the fact that you’re still sticking to your schedule of uploading even in such difficult times..Please know that you don’t have to if you don’t feel like it. You don’t owe us anything, but we owe you everything ❤️ I’ve been talking about you to my family for years (they know how important you are to me) and they asked me today how things were with you and your family. I want you to know that we are all thinking so much about you ❤️ Sending you so much love from Oslo, Norway.
Wishing love, peace and light to Russia and Ukraine, from Ireland, a wonderful relaxing video maria
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time maria, youve always been so open and and vulnerable with us, its always shown how genuine you are and really made this channel feel like a safe space. I hope this can be your safe place too. Sending love and hope to you all x
Thinking of you and your family. You are missed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for all of the peace and serenity you bring to everyone; praying for the same for you.
The orange light is so nice! Reminds me of taking warm naps during a sunset 😴
it’s always very difficult to explain to someone how immensely asmr has helped me. I have been watching you for 7 years now and I hope you know that your videos have made me feel so safe and relaxed for that long. I truly wish the best you and your family forever Maria ❤️
I’ve also been watching for 7 years! I am so grateful to have found this community.
I love the warm tones in this video. The red, orange lighting makes your hair look pink and you’re just glowing!!!
Masha, I remember you mentioning how you were experimenting/trying to up your lighting game and I have to say, the light in this video is beautiful, soft and dreamy! Ir definitely amplified the tingles for me because it makes the room feel so cozy!
Thank you for all your amazing and calming videos. I’ll never forget watching the one you posted after the US election in 2016. You said something about people needing love and comfort. You are so many people’s comfort and we want to send all that love back to you.
Awe Maria . I have been using your videos for years and years to help me with my PTSD , mental health and in my recovery from substance abuse. I want you to know what a wonderful woman you are and that you do make a huge difference to people, you have for me . Thank you for being brave and inspiring especially during a time where there is uncertainty in the world. I not only pray for Ukrainian people but pray for the people in Russia too . I pray your family and loved ones back home for you are safe and will have peace too . Your a person of light and I hope you continue to shine when or if the world becomes dark again. We need people like you . Much love and respect.
Maria, I understand why you can't speak out on the war. And I want you to know it's okay. I too have family in Russia. I cannot speak out on what is happening without fear they will be harmed. Ignore the commenters being horrible to you and making assumptions. We love you. You're a wonderful person and your family comes first. Thank you for an amazing video. You always calm me down, I'll never be able to sleep without your videos.
Yes, I second that!! No one matches Maria's videos period. She'll always be my favorite. ❤.

Hey Maria. We haven’t seen you for a while - not complaining! - you are entitled to privacy and breaks - but I wanted to say we are missing you and send lots of well wishes to you and your family. See you whenever you are ready 💞💞💞
I hope you are okay Maria. We love you and support you always. YOU are what makes the world brighter. You have a kindness that radiates from you without even having to say anything. You are a gift to this world. Thank you for what you have given us. I hope in some way we can give you back even a small amount of the comfort you have given to all of us over these many years. God bless you, and your family. Sending love ❤️
I feel a little lost with where to go the last few weeks so I keep ending up on the comments. It’s a strange feeling to be worried for someone who you feel is a close friend that you’ve never met. ❤️ I hope your family is safe and healthy.
Hello Maria, my name is grace and I have been watching your videos since I was small. You have comforted me so much over the years and now I wish more than anything in the world I could comfort you. I cannot begin to imagine how hard these times must be for you and your family. We are all with you if you need us, and so many of us adore you. Sending you so many hugs 💗💗 love from grace xxxx
I think the world needs a little more Maria, and a little less craziness! I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! Thanks Maria for the relaxation! 💤
If everyone listened to her Asmr then maybe they would sleep instead of the crazy 🤷🏻♀️
Understandably, as a Mother, I’m sure you’re feeling the need to protect your family (and yourself) from the bad in the world. Just know that you are a beautiful soul and your absence is felt, Masha.
@Cherise Lynn Her motherland went into a war and some people blame her for that.

No matter how heavy the bad news of the day, Maria takes my worries away and helps my most inner self relax and heal 🙏🏻 🕊 ✌🏼 ❤️
the instant sigh of relief that we all have when maria posts is so lovely ❤️
Hiii simply 👋♥️
Maria, I reach out to you as you were one of the first ASMR artists I watched on You Tube. At first it was just for stress relief at work. Life had gotten harder in many ways for me since that time and now I am dealing with the hardest challenge in my life, losing my Sweetheart to a stroke last week. I am still watching you and feeling immense comfort in your videos and I want to let you know that what you do is very important and meaningful. I am sure you probably already know this but I wanted to let you know again how much you are appreciated. We have and probably never will meet but you really have helped me through a very difficult time. Thank you so much❤
my condolences🙏🖤 hope you heal and find relief in Maria as always. I told her I would be dead if it wasn’t for her. I had so many close calls with death since 2018, that it’s a miracle I am still fighting to stay alive. Her videos got me through my darkest times when the world of medicine failed me and not one dr stepped up to try to fix me yet. Drs break their oath like it is meaningless here. If that is not discouraging idk what is.
I just discovered your channel, and it brought some comfort and good memories, thank you so much. I needed this today, going through a very rough time, I pray for all in this world 🌎, and for peace ☮️.
Hi there Maria I know that you’re probably going through an extremely hard time right now but if you happen to read this message I just want to let you that I’m thinking and praying for your family & friends in Russia. The vast majority of people do not want this monstrosity that currently taking place in the world and we as ASMR viewers are here for you. I have watched your videos for 9 years straight and you are the most talented ASMRtist in the world in my opinion. I recently went through a highly traumatic experience myself so I’m here as a shoulder to lean on when it comes to hard times.
I’m wishing you all the best for you and your loved ones. ❤️❤️
Мария, спасибо! В это непростое для всех время только такие видео и помогают отвлечься и расслабиться…
~Weirdest visual trigger ever, but seeing how she opened and closed the clips so close to the camera around 6:25 -- gave me more tingles than I've had in a while. So oddly satisfying XD
yes I agree. instant tingles once she started clipping the air
Exactly instant tingles when she did that
Same!!!
I was very surprised by the intense tingles I got at that moment!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, we love you and we love your family 💓✨ thank you for all you give, I hope you feel the love we are sending to you, may it heal and guide you through this time.

@@erin-darbym.6444 Has it been removed from the description because now it definitely isn't there.
@@sampunnett2131 yeah she removed it :( she said she would but I didn't think she would so quickly
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who’s been concerned for Maria and her family.
Maria, you’ve been a source of comfort for me for the past several years, and I am so, so grateful for all you do. There are always going to be terrible people who will attack people for who they are or for just being themselves. For every hateful person and comment, there are one hundred people who love you and wish you the best. Please stay safe and stay well!
After changing the comments to the latest order, you can scroll down and see Maria's own long comments from the person "Aga" two weeks ago. She mentioned her remarks about Putin 10 years ago and said she doesn't like him now. She made it clear that she would not support war, and she had no choice but to remain silent for her family. As a South Korean subscriber who loves Maria, I comment in poor English.
How did you find that comment?
@@fakeaccount704 I just read a lot of comments in the latest order. Eventually, I found her traces of her.
The lighting in this video is deliciously sweet, like a peach 🍑
Thanks for making these comforting videos, Maria. In times like these, they are much needed and much appreciated 💖
I struggle going throughout the day during times like this. I feel so helpless. What can I do? How can I help stop this. I cry all the time thinking about the family’s and people scared and hurting. I am thinking of you and your family. This world can be a terrible place. Just try to spread as much love as you can- and Maria, you spread SO much love and healing to us all.
My cat, Ziggy Stardust, absolutely loves to get brushed. When he hears me brush my hair, he comes running to get brushed. I had to buy him a mini version of my boar bristles brush. I play hair brushing videos for him…he likes this one 😺😽

Hello, Maria! I usually do not write comments because I like to keep my opinions and emotions to myself... but this is too much!
I have been subscribed to your channel for quite a number of years now. Actually, the first ASMR video I ever watched was one of yours :)) Your calm and warm energy and your kind personality have managed to pull me out of some very scary depressive episodes and your videos always managed to bring some calm to my hectic mind. And I want to offer my sincerest gratitude for all you have done for me through your work!
We live in, as our leaders of opinion say, very unprecedented times and on one hand these times have managed to bring to light the kindness of people, who are helping the refugees with everything they need, they have united us like never before, but on the other hand..... they also brought death, destruction, trauma, separation for some people and the ugly emotions in others (friendly advice for those others: every time you feel like leaving a not so nice comment on the internet in general, get away from the device that you are using and do something that makes you happy, talk with someone dear to you, or maybe just look outside and be thankful that you don't live in a warzone or in George Orwell's 1984 dystopia in real life).
On an ending note to everyone, please show compassion and kindness to others, we are all people and we all have emotions and feelings. Maria has been there for us in various moments of our lives through her videos, whether she knows it or not, so let's be there for her when she needs us to be.
Wishing you all the best of health, peace of soul and peace for the world!
From a highly anxious potato in a country in Eastern Europe :x
Oh, a PS, you also helped me learn some basic Russian, and it is SO HANDY when dealing with people who don't know any other language other than Ukrainian. So спасибо за ето, Мария!
Sending much love warmth and light to you and all your loved ones Maria. You have been a fundamental member of the ASMR community since the birth of the ASMR channel and you were who I listened to for the longest time when I was suffering from insomnia and anxiety, especially when I lost my beautiful Father back in 2019. Sending so much love, warmth and compassion during these dark times and I’m so sorry that disgusting horrific things are happening in your home town, you are such a beacon of love hope sweetness and light and I hope all your loved ones are safe and healthy. I want you to know that you are never alone and we love and support you and all your loved ones always x I am so sorry that these horrible events are occurring and I wish for peace and comfort during these horrific times to come very soon. Sending much love from Australia 💕 ❤️
college classes have gotten really stressful recently and I’ve been watching your videos every night to help me sleep. This upload came just in time as I’m about to sit down and struggle my way through some homework. Feeling a little bit more at peace right now, thank you Maria!

Maria got me through middleschool, highschool, and most of college. I can't believe I've watched you for over 10 years. Sending love to you, Maria! 💖
Same. I remember I discovered her through her nails and glass tapping video. It's a really old video but that's the first I felt tingles that I finally discovered ASMR

I hope time off is bringing you peace. You’ve helped me through some tough times over the past 8 years. I can’t thank you enough💕
Scalp massage and hair brushing asmr always give me tingles. The sound of fingers or hair tools on a scalp is just so relaxing and tingling. Reminds me of a salon atmosphere, where it's nothing but relaxation and pampering. Very relaxing indeed.

Maria, thank you so much for your relaxing videos. 6 months ago today, my sweet grandmother passed on to live a better life in heaven🤍🏝 It’s been incredibly difficult no longer having her around, but your videos ease some of the pain. Again, thank you for helping on those sleepless nights. Take care 🤍🤍✨
You’ve taken care of us for so long, so please take all the time you need to care for yourself. We will always be here for you 💙
I love coming back to Maria’s channel to watch a video when I’m ready to nap. It’s like visiting with an old friend. I’m so thankful I found her channel. 💜
You are loved.. you are enough & you do enough. I just feel like you need to hear the same words you tell us that make us feel so much better.. we love you Maria.
Miss you, Maria, your video always support me and make me feel relax when I troubled by anxiety. Even though we're far apart, I feel like that you're one of my closest friends. Blessings to you and your family. It's a hard time, but I wish you know that there're people from the other side of the world supporting & loving you❤️

Я с огромной благодарностью и любовью Вам и к Вашей семье желаю терпения, сил, любви, добра, мира,успехов, крепкого здоровья, всего этого я желаю и тем, кто наткнулся на мой комментарий, не грустите, мы с Вами, мы все нужны друг другу, всё обязательно наладится, всё будет хорошо. Мир меняется с каждым днём, все перемены несут что - то своё, главное, оставаться человеком с добрым сердцем в груди и с любовью к людям, и к самой жизни!
Пожалуйста, поймите, все мы заложники этих перемен, вне зависимости от наших предпочтений, взглядов, мнений, любви к жизни и к людям, все мы понимаем что и как, но под разным ракурсом. Я надеюсь, что никого этим комментарием не обидел🤔🥰.
