5m on 16th Sep. 3m today.
I think 5m is the ceiling for now. The recon was handleable but definitely uncomfortable. Physical symptoms such as neck pain showed up and the quality of sleep went down, e.g. was restless. As mentioned I got irritated sometimes, was more sensitive to stress or external stimulations.
On the other hand (it is something I had noticed before), higher loop seemed to bring more external manifestation. Basically it seemed to me that shorter loop affects inner world when higher loop affects outer world at the expense of inner comfort. What I am saying is to me it’s almost as if the nutrition for the inner world was transferred to the outcome in outer world if it makes sense.
Compared to 15m/full loop, shorter loop makes listening easier not because of I don’t have extra 10m to spare, it is because of the mental strains I place on the preparation for listening session. Listening to full loop after a while was at best a ritual at worst a chore. I had to make sure I slept well the night before, ate enough nutritious food the same day. I also had to be careful with my mood before listening - it had to be neutral to good - since I believed it affects my absorption and/or the effectiveness or potency of the sub. One would find all this measurements sound beneficial, that it was great for sub to incidentally make me take care of myself. However in practice it showed up as OCD and anything less than perfect ruined the listening experience, and sometimes I avoided listening due to it. Looking back I see it was recon expressing itself and my brain asking for more rest days in a round about way.
. It is very deep understanding on a subtle level.



Anyways I chose to decide it’s a good thing - let the sub breath with more space for it.
