Lots of questions in my mind as I prepare to truly start my current stack.
My updated POOLS Black custom arrived today. I think I’ll edit post #1 in this journal thread to accurately reflect the updated modules.
It’s funny.
I played one loop of my core custom, PHENOMENAUT Genesis. I played it on the same day that I started this journal 10 days ago. And I have not played it again since. I felt that I had gone too long without taking processing days or a washout. So, I thought it would be a good time to do that.
I feel like, during these processing days, I’ve gotten a gentle, steady flow of response from just that one loop.
Two days after that (Thursday 17 August), I played 3 minutes of the original POOLS custom, but realized later that it was still in Terminus2 build strength. The updated POOLS Black is in Standard build strength.
I found that I was feeling a kind of intense excitement that was feeling a little bit rabid. So, I said, let me take a 4 day break. That became a 5-day, 6-day, and then a week-long break. With each day, I felt calmer and more settled. By 23 August, the grounded feeling had maxed-out. By that time, I’d already decided that Saturday would be the day to resume.
And funnily enough, the POOLS Black custom arrived on Friday.
I plan to play full-loops now. In a meditation session as always.
I guess this is a dense stack, since each custom has three program cores.
On the other hand, I’ve logged a few years of exposure with Terminus2 build strength programs. So, I’m not sure what ‘density’ means right now. I’ll simply observe and adjust.
