Hey there @Matrix
There’s actually not that much to it. It comes down to one simple point: In one session, the longer you play a subliminal, the more ‘potent’ the dose. A higher-potency exposure has more power to generate recon (or reconciliation responses).
By playing a program for a shorter duration (i.e., less than the full 15 minutes) you can modulate the potency of the exposure, and this can lead to a smoother process of integrating and executing it.
The above points are actually the whole basis for having listening guidelines in the first place. The listening guidelines are designed to optimize the ratio between Exposure and Reconciliation. In essence, you want to get as much beneficial exposure as possible, while also creating as little disruptive reconciliation as possible.
Microloops are a way to fine-tune the formal guidelines so that they can fit you even better. Basically, you start from the standard of the formal listening guidelines and then you decrease the exposure times until you find the perfect balance.
Innovations in subliminal design that have occurred here over the past couple of years have meant that people are getting great results with surprisingly short exposure times. The standard time-length of one loop = 15 minutes. But user experimentation has shown that people can get good results with as little as 15 or 30 seconds of exposure (in other words, a ‘micro-loop’).
Bottom line: You keep the play day intervals the same. Whatever you would have done with the full-loop you can do the exact same with the ‘micro-loop’. UNLESS… you are still getting high recon even with micro-loops. If that’s the case, you can add more processing days between exposure days until you find your own optimal listening ratio.
Micro-loops are NOT an excuse to play the subs every day. The non-exposure processing days in between exposure days are an important part of smooth integration of the subs.
So if you find that 30 second micro-loops are not quite enough for you, instead of playing every day, just add more time to the loop length (for example, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or so on) and then continue to take your processing rest days between exposure days.
(The above is true for the time being. But one thing that is constant around here is innovation. If you were to leave and come back in 2 years time, things might look very different when you returned.)
