SALTY & DEEP
SALTY & DEEP is my little corner of YouTube: a space for gentle conversations, reflections and explorations of the deeper mysteries of life. Some of my videos are made in an ASMR style.
Drawing on myth, folklore, spirituality, nature and the experiences that shape us, I share thoughts and stories about what it means to be human, to change, to question and to discover new ways of seeing the world.
Much of this comes from my own unfolding journey — from years of exploring theology, healing and nonduality to a new chapter of life in rural Ireland, where the forest, the birdsong and the rhythms of nature are teaching me to slow down, listen and pay attention.
These aren't lectures or lessons, and I'm not here to offer answers. Think of them more as conversations with a friend: a little space to pause, wonder, perhaps see something differently, and feel less alone in the questions we carry.
Whether you're navigating a change in your own life, finding yourself drawn towards nature and mysticism, or simply curious about what lies beneath the surface of everyday things, you're very welcome.

What is ASMR and why use it?
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) describes the euphoric tingling sensation people feel in response to certain visuals and sounds. The tingling often begins in the head, shoulders or spine before spreading to other areas of the body, ultimately creating a blissful sense of relaxation. Very similar to the touches of grace we can experience during prayer or meditation. Studies show that it helps develop social connection, emotional bonding and empathy. I personally find ASMR very relaxing and think it is a wonderful arena in which we feel safe to drop our conditioned defenses, and learn instead to interact in a more gentle, empathic way. In this sense ASMR can serve as a tool to help us reconnect with what it means to be truly human.
ASMR can be a way of strengthening our sense of human connection through empathic presence and increased sensory awareness - a means of helping us feel calm, relaxed and at peace with ourselves I have made a number of softly-spoken videos in this style - you can view my most recent uploads below.
