9 years ago today I went online to look for a tutorial on how to fold napkins for the new years eve dinner I was about to host. This video came up and I sat there watching and admired the detailed tutorial and slowly getting mesmerized, not knowing what hit me. I don´t experience tingles so it wasn´t this big epiphany that happened. I just couldn´t look away or change to another video and sat through it even though I still had so, so much to do and prepare for the evening. And then the video was over and I felt so calm. I didn´t think about it anymore and got on with the preparations. The next day I kept thinking of the video and that was the first time I even registered the whispering! Like I said above, that was exactly 9 years ago and I can´t count the many sleepless nights or anxious/sad/grieving moments soothed by ASMR videos. I´m so grateful that this video came up when I looked up napkin folding. So grateful for the supportive Community that surrounds ASMR, so grateful for Maria and for all the creators, the time and effort spent, the love going into it, the encouragement and compassion pouring out of it. I have always wanted to express my gratitude to Maria and often started to type in the comment and never went through with it, thinking it too sentimental and too much in general. But I am grateful and I want to express it. So...here I go clicking on enter. Happy new year everybody!

[@WhisperAudiosASMR]

This must be the most honest and wholesome comment I have seen in all the years I’ve been on KZbin 😭

[@maritzamorales8149]

omg that must've been the most weird/relaxing first time experience ever! i'm so glad to see you actually go through with your comment this time!

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

I wish Maria could read all of these, but you know theres just no way...she gets thousands of comments every week; but we read each others, and we are with ya Martina! I also will still leave comments on her vids that are many years old! 😍

[@XOTWOD127]

I love this, I too discovered Maria and asmr in a very similar manner, I was looking up whispered relaxing voices to help for sleep (not knowing asmr was even a thing) and omg when I discovered the asmr community I was hooked and yes Maria was one the first videos I ever saw too! Very curious though, did you end up using any of her napkin ideas ? 😄

[@SherbertLW]

I'm so grateful I found ASMR. It makes me so happy 😊 I found out about it browsing through random reddit pages. It was truly random, so amazing! Maria's videos were always on there.

Watching again in Jan 2022. Because its just THAT good. Yup, Jan 2024. Because its STILL just that good!😊

[@fifilastupenda]

Same!

[@venommiss6770]

Here in 2022 and still say these types of videos from Maria are still the best. I learned how to fold napkins into fancy candles and towels into teddy bears 🧸 from Maria. I wish she still did more of these instructional videos.

[@lisamarie7574]

I miss these really simple videos. They are DEFINITELY the most relaxing ones!!

[@subtitleplanet2563]

***** i agree. i prefer to watch them instead of the new ones.

[@rebeccarichardson6761]

[@nina-he1dj]

me too. The ASMR is lost when a video becomes too slick.

[@rebellefleur435]

+lisamarie7574 I couldnt agree more! I am always looking for these simple videos. I am so sick of the over-thought out videos. They do nothing for me at all!!!!!

[@matthewguggino5488]

Me too...this is my go to ASMR video...I love all of Marias videos but this is my fave!

[@lovejoydoll615]

Carmen Elena It's because her Russian accent is stronger here. I agree, it's lovely

[@ASMRvelous]

I can't believe this video is almost ten years old. It's still just as good as the first time I saw it. More than that, Maria could put this exact video out tomorrow and it would still make perfect sense. Only maybe the lint roller would make a few appearances :). Thank you, Maria, for always staying true to the real essence of ASMR. I truly appreciate what you do for us all!

[@lavindir17]

Dear GentleWhispering, I am a 41 year old woman who started watching your videos in my mid to late 30's. I just want to say that I thank you very much for taking the time to do these entertaining, educating videos that relax and soothe people's stress. You are a beautiful person on the outside and seem to be a beautiful person on in the inside. Your videos in my opinion reflect that. Thank you again and God Bless You and all your endeavors. :D

[@hugmuun]

why do people dislike these she's pleasant and did nothing to you instead of disliking why not just leave

[@saysHotdogs]

I am affronted

[@ashleyd8677]

On my roughest days, when I can't sleep or I just really need to relax, you are always my go to ❤ thank you for always bringing the best of your craft to us

[@fatimahh8515]

More than a decade but still better than most of the new ASMR videos. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@myrasays]

I absolutely adore your accent & the way you say "cookies" in English! I also love how meticulous you are in your projects, so thoughtful!

[@jamdude13]

id like to see a tutorial on how you got that table so clean and shiny!

Have you ever been angry at anyone for a second in your life? I swear, you seem like the nicest and most gentle person on the planet!

[@micahnewman]

prassing and stratching... ;-)

[@maryosborne6125]

I rank you right up there with Bob Ross on the ASMR scale! You're awesome!!

[@battenburgs]

Agreed!

[@TheHornet79]

Bob Ross is the king of ASMR. I am happy they showed his episodes around midnight on PBS. They helped me through the night back when I didn't have the internet for ASMR.

[@angelitagarza3063]

Such a solid comparison

[@angelaDPT]

I still use these folds today. 2023. And watch for relaxation 😊

[@Gorp369]

Here in 2021 the audio in these old videos can’t be beat! I miss them being like this tingles galore

[@LinnyRin]

Psh, I like the exaggerated, gentle hand movements. It s part of the relaxiness for me.

[@msalona]

A video is a classic if I'm still watching 5 years later ... I miss these types of videos

[@My2Cents1]

i still put this video on in the background from time to time when working on the computer and feeling stressed. Works like a charm every time. It's like magic.

[@Gourgandise]

I realize I've been watching ASMR videos for 7+ years... nuts!

[@synaestheticVI]

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." Thank you for being the "music", Maria!

[@ildikoedit9110]

How could some people dislike this gorgeous video?? Relaxing, helpful, creative... Just love it so much.

[@cirriusrogue]

It's funny but I don't get tingles from watching these. But they do relax me. Kind of envious of people who get the chills from these.

[@lovelyj7540]

Never in a million years would I ever have thought that I'd be watching a video about folding napkins. Yet here I am, and I'm loving every second of it.

[@timkiwinz]

I've watched this so many times I can just about say word for word the first 5 minutes of the video 😊

Her accent has progressed so much! In this video you can hear the hesitation and uncertainty when saying certain words and you don’t hear that often anymore! So cool

[@louisaqau]

I absolutely love watching your older videos. I love your gentle whispers and your hand movements. I get tingles to every video of yours and fall asleep within 10 minutes. Writing this comment before I fall asleep ;)

[@saintjimmy9114]

I've seen all of your videos at least five or six times, even the really old ones that aren't on your channel anymore, and I still think this is my favorite. The asmr plus the subject put me to sleep without fail before bed. And when I stay awake, I learn how to do these fancy folds, which I've used a surprising amount of times.

[@SandSnowMXGirl]

I still love all of your old videos. Thank you for leaving them up. 💕

[@LeyahJo]

I take a medication that makes it hard for me to fall asleep. I was really struggling last night, but when i plugged in my headphones and watched this on my cellphone, I was struggling to keep my eyes open after 10 minutes. Thank you so much! You are truly talented. I'm addicted to your videos lol.

[@Johnny_Blaze]

6 years later and I still hit the older ones up. Simply the best

[@NikeySunfire]

Hi Maria, I love your Role Playing Videos, but you should do these simple tutorials too from time to time, they are very relaxing! :)

[@analiesejoy2542]

I remember getting on my laptop and thinking " I'll just watch some of Maria's videos, just for entertainment I won't sleep though." lol that plan failed miserably

The only time I've ever gotten excited over a napkin folding tutorial.

This video is the GOAT of ASMR

[@hb6839]

Maria, I hope you'll read this. First of all, I absolutely adore you, and watch your videos every night religiously to fall asleep without being scared of sleeping alone. But as it came to my mind today, I thought I'd point it out so that it'll help you some way 🤗 I find myself scrolling through your videos and looking for the *old* ones. The videos starting from 2016 and before. I don't know why, but I can't fall asleep to the more recent ones, even though they're better in quality. I watch those videos in doing other things, and I LOVE them, but the old ones are the absolute best to fall asleep to.(esp. the one with Asus and old ring collection) Needless to say, I love all your videos, and try to leave a like on each one in hopes it will return my gratitude for your service as I'm a broke college student) I hope you have a wonderful day, year and the rest of your life! Imagine me sending you warmth and love every night I listen to you 🌷💜

[@UKGeezer]

The paper towel was my favourate part. I just loved the scratching sound of Maria creasing the paper, as well as her gliding hands and calming voice. Sent me into a tingle frenzy. Thanks yet again, Maria :-)

And of course...those like the WV, WC, and Maria....oh maria...have continued to make videos that delight us all enough to tell our friends about these wonderful, therapeutical videos out on the internet for free. Thank you so much for what you guys do.

[@mtskaggs]

All I can say is Thank You. I made my wife an elegant dinner the other night and had the petal napkin with a present in it and the wine glasses with the Fleur de lis inside...... Let's just say she was more than impressed and couldn't wait for the lights to go out!

[@frang.3577]

This is the video that turned me on to ASMR. I was looking for napkin folding and found this about a year ago.

Good job on remembering each step for each napkin style. I like them all but my favorite I think is the candle. It's so cute and fun. Kids might like that one the most too...

[@lyndsie92]

I've been watching this video every night since it's been posted. Tonight I went for supper with my grandma and I did some of these folds with the napkins while we were waiting. She was very impressed! It was a really fancy restaurant. Our waiter complimented my skills! Lol thanks Maria!

In this video you reminded me strongly of my grandmother. She had all this arcane knowledge of obscure things like napkin folding and other domestic handicrafts and she used to love showing us when we were little kids.

[@JuanRivera-dc6zb]

Last night i found that certain sounds trigger undescribable feelings, i didn't know about ASMR till i watch one of your videos. The sound of paper,whispers, scissors and tap fingers trigger something i never tought it could be possible. Your channel is amazing, tons of hugs to you and Keep up the good work. =)

[@jarvispie]

I just love your unflappable professionalism! How you continue on seamlessly when you realise partway through your second folding technique that you were in fact doing something completely different! So sweet :o)
